I decided to put some of those guys names in the searchbar. I mean wow, they seem more like they are not really teaching faith alone even though they claim to..
I would rather associate with those types of people too Luke. I find they're the most honest and interesting anyway! Self-righteousness is stifling and irritating.
@RationalConclusion I am going to assume that you have asked a sincere question. I have made and collected many videos into playlists to present evidence and proof that the Bible is true. i.e. SCIENCE, GOD AND THE BIBLE...PHILOSOPHY, GOD AND THE BIBLE...and PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE.
Thank you brother for this refreshing rebuke to religious leaders out there. I am currently worshipping at home for the great falling away is in its apex. I am a babe in christ and hearing the leaders you've mentioned makes me feel like I am not doing enough to merit getting into the kingdom or seeing God. Yes I understand we must pursuit holiness but they make it seem that if im not as holy(what amount) I wont make it. Well how holy do I have to be? I have a sinful nature to contend with.
@shaky777001 Do you sincerely want the answers to your questions? If so, I have answered all those questions and more in my series WORKS SALVATION DEBUNKED and FROM BIRTH TO ETERNITY.
I would like you to explain to me exactly how much work, in detail, that I must do to be saved and to stay saved. How many good works each day are required for me to get my wings? How many slip ups do I get before I report to the lake of Fire? Please, I also need a detailed listing of what kind of good works prove my worthiness so my body can glow, like yours. I need a punch list so I can see how good I am every day. I'll even attach it to my refrigerator.
Amen! Ive been having alot of struggles lately and been going through the Bible. I did some Google searchs and on youtube for some guidance and unknowningly listened to some of those people. Never before have I felt the presence of Satan so greatly as when I started to think I have not done enough to be saved. Thankfully I caught on quick and pushed Satan out of my heart.
@jebenn23 Ive been having the same thoughts too! After I thought I had salvation down all of a sudden I got a wave of doubt! Beating myself up for not being holy enough or seeing how I do one good thing and 10 BAD. I start saying to myself how many times am I gonna ask for mercy for the same things I repeat?..very discouraging! but now I've caught on. Im so glad I bumped into this brother in the video. As a babe I beg God for leadership, mercy and correction in doctrinal errors.
@StringPlunker I made a video called THE CHALLENGE. In it I pose a challenge to people like you (self righteous, religious, hypocrites). If this is not true about you then you can accept the "challenge" posed in the video. I wait to see if you are willing or just all talk.
I've been a christian since 1994 and I have to say that I share your passion. Selfrighteousness makes me sick to my stomach and we put people in bondage by preaching works salvation of any kind. I don't know if you've read Joseph Prince's book destined to reign but check it out. God bless you.
Jesus said,.......'Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.' Matt 5:48
Was He kidding??? Preacher ....YOU are deceived, you are the liar MacArthur never says you are aved by works ........do you have any proof of that? You cannot distinguish right form wrong. MacArthur is addressing the mulitiudes who think they are Christians, who go to church and "beleive" in Jesus but all things are not new to them......no changes in their life.
@willpower242 YOU are not perfect!!! Therefore...You are going to hell. Is that the standard by which you want to be judged?
It is clear to me that you are a self righteous hypocrite and it can easily be proven. Go to my video THE CHALLENGE and answer the 3 questions. If you are unwilling to do this test thenthat also proves that you are a COWARD.
@GYPSYKNOWINGTHETRUTH Yes, that is correct and we all "should" go and sin no more but we can not do it. You can not do it! If you think you can then watch my video THE CHALLENGE. This is exactly why God had to do something to save us. We are helpless and hopeless without our SAVIOR.
"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
@FitnessMinded If you tink that you are actually following these "commands" then I challenge you to take the "challenge" in my video THE CHALLENGE. I will send it to you.
@FitnessMinded none of which implies that non-compliance to the law leads to damnation if you are a beleiver...so what other scripture do you want to throw at us? I'm not saying you shouldnt be obedient but, it clearly states in Romans 4:5-6, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. What do you have to say about that? Tell me, have you lived a sinless, perfect life since you've been saved?
@sincitypreacher No..thank you for your message..ive come to a realization that NO ONE can live a sinless life even after coming to christ! Last time i checked, Salvation is a gift from God, not a gift with strings attached. Im not condoning sin or saying to use the gift of salvation as a excuse to sin, but if faith in Jesus PLUS "forsaking sin" was a requirement, then we'd all be doomed! Which brings me back to my question..who can honestly say that they havent sinned since being saved?
@FitnessMinded And what are his commands? John 6:39-40, Matthew 22:37-40, Matthew 7:12, 1John 3:21-23, etc. Seems pretty easy to me. Trust in Jesus, and love.
Now let's talk about the "process" people. When fully pinned down on the theological subject you have brought up, the process people start wriggling up out of the mass to tell you about the vital necessity of the sanctification process. Does it ever end? Like you, I'm not resentful, hateful, or spiteful because I know I'm right. These weeds are fully ripe with us, it is harvest time. The death these people are going to be handed is so horrible that I just cry out in despair over the loss.
Thank you for helping me unlock the fake reality surrounding this poor targeted person. For some reason, the only friends I've had in the last 20 years are from the Lordship Salvation crowd. I never could understand it, how they could be so close to the truth but not fully realize it. I always considered myself a loner without these others. After seeing my wife fall to it, divorce me, convince my grown children that I am wrong, and subject me to what amounts to torture, I needed more proof.
EXCELLENT VIDEO sincitypreacher! You're EXACTLY CORRECT! There are many who preach ANOTHER Gospel OTHER than the one preached by the Apostles. What they preached was very clear and simple > BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS AND YE SHALL BE SAVED! Paul said, "I glory in NOTHING EXCELT Christ crucified." For who? > ANYONE who BELIEVES! They forget that Jesus fulfilled ALL of God's requirements for ungodly men unto to whom He imparts His Righteousness & life eternal through Faith, instantly upon BELIEVING!
@sincitypreacher -Thank you for allowing me to post on your channel. You're a blessing to ALL who have ears to hear. I bare witness you're preaching the same Gospel the Apostles preached! The basic problem with "lordship salvationists" like I said is > THEY DON'T TRUST GOD! They've fallen victim to Satan identical to Adam & Eve when the devil deceived them into DISBELIEVING GOD, NOT TAKING GOD AT HIS WORD, OR IMPLYING GOD'S WORD IS NOT SUFFICIENT. They need to be BORN AGAIN for the SAME REASONS.
Ravenhill/wilkerson challage the moden church many times and spoke the hard hell fire truth i think you got those men mistaken, but washer oh man that dude is a false teacher
very good video. I think that many who are saved listen to false teachers and drift away from the truth of the Gospel. I am finding it more true every day in my studies. Although you might disagree with me, I find it in the Epistle of James. James was almost in direct oppostion to Paul with respect to works/faith. I asked myself why is Epistle of James was in the bible? We know James was saved. Was James saved by his belief in Jesus only an not by his works/salvation understanding? opinion?
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life."
1 John 2:19, Salvation is God's work alone, nothing man can do will save them, since by Jesus' own words we are all dead in our sins. This is the proper order of how one is to be truly saved. Dead in sin>God calls you>God gives you faith by His divine predestined choice>You believe in God as a reaction to God's calling>God saves you>God's holy spirit allows you to do good works and changes your life> God resurrects you after death. Your faith, works, belief, salvation are all God's gift.
Thank you for proclaiming your feelings on youtube! I want to clarify something for just a second. Lordship Salvation is not a prerequisite to Salvation. Salvation is God's work alone. Period. Jesus says we are dead in our sins, since when can a dead man do anything but be dead? GOD humbles us, GOD gives us faith, GOD saves us, GOD redeems us, GOD justifies us, GOD keeps us. What does man do? Believes. However if your life is not changed then your "salvation" was fake. (continued in my next post
Thanks for confirming that I do not have to turn from my drinking habits and sexual lust! I believe but it doesn't really matter what God wants me to do right?
Someone help me out... Is it possible to be a true Christian and be continually sinful such as, constant lying, stealing, or taking God's name in vain, and not even care? I don't know if i believe in lordship salvation or easy believism, but I've always been taught you are saved by faith, but as you continue in your walk, you grow and stop sinning and you have a change of mind and begin to hate the sin you once loved. Thanks.
@Figsx If you are truly saved,you will not be able to continue in willfull sin and have peace about it because the Holy Spirit won't allow that.His job living within you is to drive the sanctification process.That said,it is a PROCESS,and it can take some people many years to 'walk the walk'.Hope that helps some!
I was a Lordship teacher..until I got saved by simply trusting in Christ after hearing the Gospel ...and nothing annoys me as much as Lordship/Works-based salvation
Tell them to see Romans 1 and Romans 2 and they'll get a reality check
to see that God requires perfection for those who trust in works...
and wrath awaits all unrighteousness.
but in Romans 3-4 we see GRACE
The Gospel of Christ is all about what Christ did for me and you !!
Wow! Great video!I made a video today exposing Washer, Pipe and all those Calvinist always telling people they will go to Hell! I would love to add this video at the end of my video so people will see how heretic and wolves are those Maniacs! Is it ok with you if I use your video? God Bless you!!!
Thanks for postings this. I have met few believers who have been discipled by Paul Washer and I was utterly shocked.
Beloved....NONE of us are worthy of being saved...but the blood of the lamb has paid our sin debt in full and if you have accepted and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ...you are forever sealed. No man will boast before the Lord...especially when we get to heaven, we can not say to someone "wow you made it ...good going...you remained holy, narrow road etc...."
I am not saved by anything but Jesus.God called me and made me able to come to Jesus,He has saved me and changed my life,it's not something that I did again.My interests are not what they used to be,they changed when I believed.God gives me power to repent of my sin and when I do sin,the Spirit that I grieve also causes me to grieve.Jesus says by their fruits you shall know them,what fruit?Repentance of our sin as we mature in our faith.I think we talk passed each other sometimes.
For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 1 Cor 4:7
Do you have faith that was not given to you?
Do you have repentance that the Spirit has not worked in you?
What things pertaining to life and godliness were not given to you?
Isa 26:12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
wherever one finds man contributing anything on his part towards his being justified and sanctified before the Father, he is become involved in nothing short of what the Spirit through Paul called will-worship. This has been the religion of man since the beginning. Saving faith is the sign of grace. It is the like precious faith that has been given by the effectual election of God the Father through the atoning blood of Jesus by the regenerating work of the Spirit.
@negrettobono In the context of SALVATION FOR MANKIND...repent means to turn to the Savior for your salvation. Please watch my playlist: REPENTANCE DEFINED.
Does a lie become truth because you have what you think is "righteous indignation" when in fact it is misguided.
No one in the LS group is saying that Christians don't sin. It's that those who are truly saved, don't simply sin and leave it at that; they don't live lives that are CHARACTERIZED by unrepentant sin. Christians are sinners, saved by grace. And the lives they live are in imitation of how it started. With repentance, renewed faith, and the endeavour after new obedience. Every day.
what do u think of titus 2:11-14....is this saying that the grace that saves us produces good works. NOT in order to be saved, but because we are saved by Christ. I believe there are 2 extremes.. Grace only preachers that don't preach obedience, and only talk of imputation, imputation...and then other extreme...obedience or your lost. We must know we are saved by Christ's obedience unto death alone. And this grace that saved us manifests itself in new desires and good works ordained by God. :)
I think you are right about Lordship salvation. Man, that's a tough one to spot. It DOES make me doubt my faith, and I've been going in a downward spiral. I have struggled with carnality, and I know I am saved forever. There is no possible way for any man to not sin in this life. Therefore, what could we do? It is by faith alone. So what of Washer and Piper and Jan Boshoff? Do you think that those preachers are hellbound? I pray that Jesus will forgive them, I love them so much.
I think this man speaks truth..but I think that those preachers also speak truth, they are biblical. They don't say that you need works to go to heaven as in... works+faith = salvation, but rather they preach faith = salvation which leads to good works.
Don't be afraid! trust in God! believe he rewards those who earnestly seek after him!
I too believe what Paul said, that we are saved by Grace, through our faith in Yeshua.As James said, faith without works is dead.This goes right along w/what Yeshua said about judgement day when many will say they prophesied in His name, cast out demons in His name, did many works in His name (they knew the right name, believed He is Messiah) but Yeshua will tell them to depart because they are lawless--they didn't really believe He was YHVH and so obey Him. It's not a matter of earning.
@boltingpuppies Re-read that passage in Matthew 7. The "Lord, Lord" people say "did WE not prophesy ..." "did WE not castout demons ..." "did WE not do wonderful works ..." They give no indication that they trusted Jesus; they don't say "thank you, Jesus, for your unmerited grace and favor to us miserable sinners." It's all about them and their own works. THOSE are the ones Jesus rejects.
Great video! For someone to think faith in Christ alone is not sufficient they are in essence stating that Christ and his blood sacrifice was not sufficient. What an insult to God and his love and mercy.
Truth stands on it's own. It doesn't need to be dressed up and disguised like deception and lies.
Luther stated "Does faith alone, without works, justify? Yes, certainly!" Works have no place anywhere near our justification/salvation before and even after we are saved. James says Abraham's faith was justified by his works, but his use of justified was in relation to authenticating his faith before men, not before God. What is true by James statement, Abraham didn't show a work till 25-30 years after justification in the sacrificing of Isaac! Let's give others at least the same standard.
I want to say this I dont believe in a works based salvation but I do believe what James says that faith without works is dead. If one took a look at Sauls conversion to see he was called by Jesus, told to go to Damascus, and then Ananias laid hands on him you would see 1) Acts 5:32 applies ( obeying Jesus) 2) Heb 11:40 applies (Ananias laying hands on him) Heb 11 the transition of faith before God to before his children which shows clearly in Acts 15:7 By my mouth They believe God which .....
Well said and appreciated, Brother. I fear we'll be hearing more and more of the false lordship message as time passes. Thank you for the simplicity of Paul's words.
I understand your passion on this topic, in the same way I understand the depth of my own evil and the wonderful gift of salvation through Christ Jesus. For me God's grace plus my works are not good news. Don't get me wrong after 34 years as a Christian, I am better than I was, but all of it was through the power of the Holy Spirit. Every time I tried to be good, I (like Paul) messed it up. The Holy Spirit is perfect, I am a mess made beautiful by Jesus' Love.
I laid no standard; I quoted Scripture. The standard is remaining in Jesus (faith), like you say; the evidence is fruit.
Example: If you love you're wife, but do not display it in any way, one might question whether or not you truly love your wife.
Before saying Paul Washer of teaches Works based Salvation you might want to watch a short sermon clip on youtube called Joy from Christ, not your performance.
@gzus777 I watched that Video and it's not about salvation. That message is about Christians living relying on God. Fruit is not evidence of truly believing, it's evidence of walking in the Spirit. If you think behavior after saving faith proves if you ever really had faith, you are back-loading (saying works come at the end) the gospel. And that is just as much works-based as if you were to front-load and say they need to come first. Salvation is by faith and faith only.
I disagree that the video is simply talking about the living the Christian life. The logic Paul Washer uses is applied to salvation and sanctification; THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST. It's ALL of Christ.
2)
What do you do with the Scriptures that indicate that fruit IS evidence of being Jesus' disciples?
Matt 7:20, "Thus you will recognize them by their fruits."
Jn 15:8, "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples."
@gzus777 You are a double talker. It can not be both faith alone and works (fruit) are required. That is why I challenged you to go to my CHALLENGE video and answer the 3 questions. If you will do that it is my hope that you will understand that YOU CAN NOT PASS THE TEST YOU ARE IMPOSING ON OTHERS. So, now I am tired of dealing with your ignorance so either take the CHALLENGE or I am finished with you and you will be blocked. You have been given ample opportunity to dialogue here.
@gzus777 Where does scripture say being a Christian = being a disciple? It does not. Read Galatians 5 - fruit is evidence of walking in the Spirit. Not evidence of faith. Being a Christians means you are saved by faith alone in Christ alone (John 3:16, Eph. 2:8-9, Rom. 4:4-5). Being a disciple means you believe and obey (Matt. 28:18-20). Galatians was written to BELIEVERS. Jesus told BELIEVERS to bear fruit. The Bible makes a distinction between salvation and discipleship, you should too.
@gzus777 - Matt 7:20 is directed as a warning to discern false prophets, not a call for you to judge the salvation of professed believers! The result of LS and the "fruit" of this teaching is people doubting their salvation. Paul didn't doubt the salvation of the Corinthians even though they were fruitless and living in the flesh! In order to be sanctified one has to know they are justified. Look at the fruit of LS teaching and you can know it is false teaching!
None of the preachers you mentioned would disagree that salvation is by faith alone. But the Bible makes it clear that those who have truly believed in Jesus will be radically changed. That's what the whole book of 1st John is about. Even the demons believe in Jesus and tremble. The difference between the truly born again Christian and the demons is that they have had their old heart of stone replaced with a new heart of flesh, and now they love God! That's not legalism, that's LOVE.
I already know what Gal 3:1-2 says and there IS a difference between obeying the OT Law, and bearing fruit.
Bearing fruit is NOT something we are COMMANDED to DO, rather something that is true of those who have been truly born again. It is EVIDENCE, that one has TRULY BELIEVED see Matt 7:17.
A DESCRIPTION of salvation, not a PRESCRIPTION for it.
We are to REMAIN IN JESUS & we WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT Jn 15:5
And by bearing much fruit we "prove to be Jesus' disciples" Jn 15:8
@gzus777 Ok pal...you have laid out a pretty strict standard to meet. I wonder if you have actually passed the test that you are imposing on others. Are you? If you are not a hypocrite you will show us the EVIDENCE and PROOF that YOU are a true Christian. I challenge you to watch my video THE CHALLENGE and answer all 3 questions posed in the video. Let's see if you can pass the CHALLENGE or if you prove to be a self righeous hypocrite.
@gzus777 The whole book of 1st John is about fellowship with God, and yes the closer fellowship with God the more changes in your life. Fellowship however has nothing to do with salvation. Salvation/Justification is completely passive on our part except to believe. Calvin stated:“For, as regards justification, faith is something merely passive, bringing nothing of ours to the recovering of God’s favor but receiving from Christ what we lack."
Thank you for making this. Faith alone is an important truth to me personally. I lived much of my Christian life doubting my salvation because of the "Lordship" gospel. I thought perhaps I wasn't truly saved because my tendency to choose sin, and my lack of self control. I did what I hated, and couldn't do what I wanted. O wretched man that I still am, who will save me? Romans 7. Praise to God! Praise Him for such a wonderful gift! Faith alone, in Christ alone! Romans 4:4-5 That's true liberty!
Dear brother, I did do one thing concerning my salvation, I realized that I was a vile degenerate sinner and also that I needed a savior but I only learned that because of the bible and some loving people so I think God did that too! Praise Him as He is tho only one worthy. I loved the message.
@Brwneydgrl69 I will try to communicate with everyone who sincerely wants a dialogue. However, I have learned to discern to whom I should cast the pearls (see Matthew 7:6) and to whom I must cut off communications. If I determine that someone simply wants to argue or that continued dialogue is a waste of time...then I will cut off communications with them (BLOCK).
Yes, they have been deceived - of course...satan has got a stronghold in the churches EVERYWHERE - they are all patting each other on the back for their good works after salvation - pretending their flesh is now acceptable in God's sight... that they somehow became "good people" after salvation. It's JUDICIAL righteousness and it's Christ's righteousness that makes us righteous.
@Ahavah8Ahavah (cont) I love the Lord and I want to do right, because of His great love and grace - but I still fall short. I'm still rotten in the flesh. Romans 7....Romans 7!!! If Paul didn't become a robot of "goodness" then why would ANYONE think they can be? Crazy!
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they TEACH NO OTHER DOCTRINE, (1 Timothy 1:3 KJV)
Yes those who teach lordship salvation are in error and are to be charged to "teach no other doctrine." Those who confuse Paul's gospel (grace) with any other gospel in the Bible are teaching "other doctrine". They must be exposed for their false teaching. Thank you for a much needed message.
@bibledoctrine con't - It is possible for a believer to fall from grace as Paul points out to the Galatians however this does not result in a loss of salvation. These believers in Galatia were saved but now sought to place themselves under the law and thus had fallen from grace.
If one is relying on their religious works to save them, believing faith alone is not sufficient then they are NOT saved; period. It is by grace through faith alone that saves today. Eph 2:8,9 Titus 3:5 etc.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being angry about religion/legalism. I have a video in which I was pretty angry about religion myself. It may not have been Lordship Salvation but I sure understand your anger my friend. Thank you for not being afraid to speak the truth. GREAT JOB!
Brother Luke, if never sinning after being saved were required, I'm doomed! Praise God for his merciful grace, utterly beyond measure! I think these people just want to make it about themselves in some way. People want to take some kind of credit! Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's wrong!
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Eph 2:10 We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good worls, which God prepared beforehand thaqt we should walk inthem.
When we walk in the Spirit, we do 'good works' prompted by the Spirit, but through faith alone are we saved.
Good works will NOT get you into heaven: That is the gospel according to the new age movement. Turn away from them, they believe in many 'christs' Only through Jesus' sacrifice are we saved. He paid the price.
I love this vid bro Luke, I love you too bro, all it is 21st century pharisees bro, nothing has changed, 98% of professing christianity are , honestly, unbelievers. They want to do do do do do do, when it's all done, done, done,done, ..so yeah, if you don't have a suit on and some fancy speeches, you are not viewed or paid attention to. DA so called christians. God bless you bro, I will back you bro
@1689Baptist It would appear so, but in fact they do not. McArthur, Piper and Washer and many others are back-loading the gospel. Meaning, they teach salvation from hell is by faith alone, but faith itself is never alone. In other words, if you "truly" have faith, you'll have works to follow. It's just another way to say your works prove your saved. The only thing that proves you are saved is faith. 1 John 5:13 Works (or fruits) are evidence of walking in the Spirit, not salvation from hell.
I decided to put some of those guys names in the searchbar. I mean wow, they seem more like they are not really teaching faith alone even though they claim to..

How would you Explain James>Faith ''without'' works is dead=Dead faith
Every Tree that does not bear fruit will be cut Down! YOU say>YOU are going to burn because you are not bearing ''ENOUGH'' Fruit!
Its not about how MUCH fruit you are bearing because ''Some'' bear more fruit then Others!
Dont you at least have to start bearing ''SOME'' fruit?
What use is a tree that bears ''NO'' fruit at all?

Jesus said,.......'Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.' Matt 5:48
Was He kidding??? Preacher ....YOU are deceived, you are the liar MacArthur never says you are aved by works ........do you have any proof of that? You cannot distinguish right form wrong. MacArthur is addressing the mulitiudes who think they are Christians, who go to church and "beleive" in Jesus but all things are not new to them......no changes in their life.

@sincitypreacher No..thank you for your message..ive come to a realization that NO ONE can live a sinless life even after coming to christ! Last time i checked, Salvation is a gift from God, not a gift with strings attached. Im not condoning sin or saying to use the gift of salvation as a excuse to sin, but if faith in Jesus PLUS "forsaking sin" was a requirement, then we'd all be doomed! Which brings me back to my question..who can honestly say that they havent sinned since being saved?

Now let's talk about the "process" people. When fully pinned down on the theological subject you have brought up, the process people start wriggling up out of the mass to tell you about the vital necessity of the sanctification process. Does it ever end? Like you, I'm not resentful, hateful, or spiteful because I know I'm right. These weeds are fully ripe with us, it is harvest time. The death these people are going to be handed is so horrible that I just cry out in despair over the loss.

Although you might disagree with me, I find it in the Epistle of James. James was almost in direct oppostion to Paul with respect to works/faith. I asked myself why is Epistle of James was in the bible? We know James was saved. Was James saved by his belief in Jesus only an not by his works/salvation understanding? opinion?

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life."

1 John 2:19, Salvation is God's work alone, nothing man can do will save them, since by Jesus' own words we are all dead in our sins. This is the proper order of how one is to be truly saved. Dead in sin>God calls you>God gives you faith by His divine predestined choice>You believe in God as a reaction to God's calling>God saves you>God's holy spirit allows you to do good works and changes your life> God resurrects you after death. Your faith, works, belief, salvation are all God's gift.

Thank you for proclaiming your feelings on youtube! I want to clarify something for just a second. Lordship Salvation is not a prerequisite to Salvation. Salvation is God's work alone. Period. Jesus says we are dead in our sins, since when can a dead man do anything but be dead? GOD humbles us, GOD gives us faith, GOD saves us, GOD redeems us, GOD justifies us, GOD keeps us. What does man do? Believes. However if your life is not changed then your "salvation" was fake. (continued in my next post

wherever one finds man contributing anything on his part towards his being justified and sanctified before the Father, he is become involved in nothing short of what the Spirit through Paul called will-worship. This has been the religion of man since the beginning. Saving faith is the sign of grace. It is the like precious faith that has been given by the effectual election of God the Father through the atoning blood of Jesus by the regenerating work of the Spirit.

Does a lie become truth because you have what you think is "righteous indignation" when in fact it is misguided.
No one in the LS group is saying that Christians don't sin. It's that those who are truly saved, don't simply sin and leave it at that; they don't live lives that are CHARACTERIZED by unrepentant sin. Christians are sinners, saved by grace. And the lives they live are in imitation of how it started. With repentance, renewed faith, and the endeavour after new obedience. Every day.

what do u think of titus 2:11-14....is this saying that the grace that saves us produces good works. NOT in order to be saved, but because we are saved by Christ. I believe there are 2 extremes.. Grace only preachers that don't preach obedience, and only talk of imputation, imputation...and then other extreme...obedience or your lost. We must know we are saved by Christ's obedience unto death alone. And this grace that saved us manifests itself in new desires and good works ordained by God. :)

I think you are right about Lordship salvation. Man, that's a tough one to spot. It DOES make me doubt my faith, and I've been going in a downward spiral. I have struggled with carnality, and I know I am saved forever. There is no possible way for any man to not sin in this life. Therefore, what could we do? It is by faith alone. So what of Washer and Piper and Jan Boshoff? Do you think that those preachers are hellbound? I pray that Jesus will forgive them, I love them so much.

I too believe what Paul said, that we are saved by Grace, through our faith in Yeshua.As James said, faith without works is dead.This goes right along w/what Yeshua said about judgement day when many will say they prophesied in His name, cast out demons in His name, did many works in His name (they knew the right name, believed He is Messiah) but Yeshua will tell them to depart because they are lawless--they didn't really believe He was YHVH and so obey Him. It's not a matter of earning.

@boltingpuppies Re-read that passage in Matthew 7. The "Lord, Lord" people say "did WE not prophesy ..." "did WE not castout demons ..." "did WE not do wonderful works ..." They give no indication that they trusted Jesus; they don't say "thank you, Jesus, for your unmerited grace and favor to us miserable sinners." It's all about them and their own works. THOSE are the ones Jesus rejects.

StandForTheFaith 1 year ago
Luther stated "Does faith alone, without works, justify? Yes, certainly!" Works have no place anywhere near our justification/salvation before and even after we are saved. James says Abraham's faith was justified by his works, but his use of justified was in relation to authenticating his faith before men, not before God. What is true by James statement, Abraham didn't show a work till 25-30 years after justification in the sacrificing of Isaac! Let's give others at least the same standard.

gzus777 1 year ago
@gzus777 I watched that Video and it's not about salvation. That message is about Christians living relying on God. Fruit is not evidence of truly believing, it's evidence of walking in the Spirit. If you think behavior after saving faith proves if you ever really had faith, you are back-loading (saying works come at the end) the gospel. And that is just as much works-based as if you were to front-load and say they need to come first. Salvation is by faith and faith only.

@crcwoot
Two things:
1)
I disagree that the video is simply talking about the living the Christian life. The logic Paul Washer uses is applied to salvation and sanctification; THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST. It's ALL of Christ.
2)
What do you do with the Scriptures that indicate that fruit IS evidence of being Jesus' disciples?
Matt 7:20, "Thus you will recognize them by their fruits."
Jn 15:8, "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples."

sincitypreacher 1 year ago
@gzus777 Where does scripture say being a Christian = being a disciple? It does not. Read Galatians 5 - fruit is evidence of walking in the Spirit. Not evidence of faith. Being a Christians means you are saved by faith alone in Christ alone (John 3:16, Eph. 2:8-9, Rom. 4:4-5). Being a disciple means you believe and obey (Matt. 28:18-20). Galatians was written to BELIEVERS. Jesus told BELIEVERS to bear fruit. The Bible makes a distinction between salvation and discipleship, you should too.
crcwoot 1 year ago
@gzus777 - Matt 7:20 is directed as a warning to discern false prophets, not a call for you to judge the salvation of professed believers! The result of LS and the "fruit" of this teaching is people doubting their salvation. Paul didn't doubt the salvation of the Corinthians even though they were fruitless and living in the flesh! In order to be sanctified one has to know they are justified. Look at the fruit of LS teaching and you can know it is false teaching!

None of the preachers you mentioned would disagree that salvation is by faith alone. But the Bible makes it clear that those who have truly believed in Jesus will be radically changed. That's what the whole book of 1st John is about. Even the demons believe in Jesus and tremble. The difference between the truly born again Christian and the demons is that they have had their old heart of stone replaced with a new heart of flesh, and now they love God! That's not legalism, that's LOVE.

A DESCRIPTION of salvation, not a PRESCRIPTION for it.

Thank you for making this. Faith alone is an important truth to me personally. I lived much of my Christian life doubting my salvation because of the "Lordship" gospel.

O wretched man that I still am, who will save me? Romans 7. Praise to God! Praise Him for such a wonderful gift! Faith alone, in Christ alone! Romans 4:4-5 That's true liberty!

@bibledoctrine con't - It is possible for a believer to fall from grace as Paul points out to the Galatians however this does not result in a loss of salvation. These believers in Galatia were saved but now sought to place themselves under the law and thus had fallen from grace.
If one is relying on their religious works to save them, believing faith alone is not sufficient then they are NOT saved; period. It is by grace through faith alone that saves today. Eph 2:8,9 Titus 3:5 etc.

When we walk in the Spirit, we do 'good works' prompted by the Spirit, but through faith alone are we saved.
Good works will NOT get you into heaven: That is the gospel according to the new age movement. Turn away from them, they believe in many 'christs' Only through Jesus' sacrifice are we saved. He paid the price.

What you spoke is truth, but McArthur, Piper, and Washer are in agreement with you on this. Salvation is by Grace through faith alone.

@1689Baptist It would appear so, but in fact they do not. McArthur, Piper and Washer and many others are back-loading the gospel. Meaning, they teach salvation from hell is by faith alone, but faith itself is never alone. In other words, if you "truly" have faith, you'll have works to follow. It's just another way to say your works prove your saved. The only thing that proves you are saved is faith. 1 John 5:13 Works (or fruits) are evidence of walking in the Spirit, not salvation from hell.
