What will you do with Jesus? Great question Luke. I'm glad that you phrased the possible responses carefully, not giving the idea that it's a "decision" or a "commitment" one must make as Lord Salvationists do. But rather, as you rightly say, one must either put your faith in Him (believe in Him)..and I might add, believe in Him alone for eternal life...or one rejects Him. Eternal life is a free gift, faith is the way we receive that gift. Praise God.
Yes Luke I know but there is a difference between the gospel of the kingdom and the gospel of the grace of God. We do not preach repentance and water baptism for salvation today and I know you know that. Israel was called upon to do those things but not the Body of Christ. There is only 1 baptism today and that is found in 1 Cor. 12 :) It is the HS baptizing each believer into the Body of Christ and it is the 1 baptism which Paul speaks of in Eph. 4:5. I hope you can distinguish between them :)
@bibledoctrine Hello Brother John. I have studied this subject thoroughly but I have come to a different conclusion than you have. I do respect your opinion but I would ask that if you want to comment further about this subject then please do it on the appropriate video ( "GOOD NEWS (GOSPEL) IS NOT ONLY IN PAUL'S LETTERS..."). You can even make a VIDEO RESPONSE if you like. Then the public can decide which viewpoint they believe is correct. Thanks, Luke
@sincitypreacher No Luke I think I have made my point and anything more would sound like I am arguing with you my friend and I am not nor do I wish to seem like I am :) I just shared what I know from the scriptures in an effort to edify and I hope some day you may come to know and understand the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of mystery as given to our apostle Paul and the gospel he received of the Lord that brings salvation today and it is not the gospel of the kingdom :)
Con't - It may appear that I and others are simply splitting hairs here but in truth the gospel that saves today can only be found in the writings of Paul. It is through his epistles that God declares the good news of the cross, salvation by grace through faith apart from any works. This was not disclosed to the Jews before. Jn 3:16 is a wonderful verse & I have used it presenting the gospel because many people know it but in fact not one word of his sacrifice is contained in it.
Con't - They were not asked to trust in His death, burial & resurrection from the dead and that His blood was shed in payment of their sins for indeed that had not happened yet. God simply required the Jews to believe He was the Son of God, the Messiah and their King. Later God reveals the good news through the preaching if the cross given to Paul, our apostle today. We are not called on to accept Christ as Messiah today for salvation. We are called on to trust in the finished cross work :)
Hello Luke :) I listened to the message while getting ready for work and missed parts of it I am sure. These questions you pose are important ones for sure. One must know who Jesus Christ is to receive salvation. One verse presented to me when I heard the gospel was Jn 6:47 along with others scriptures from the epistles of Paul. At the time Jesus spoke those words in Jn it was required of the Jews to believe He was the Messiah and they knew nothing of His dying for our sins.
@bibledoctrine Hello Brother. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Regarding hyper-dispensationalism...As you know, I have already made a video on that subject. It is titled "GOOD NEWS (GOSPEL) IS NOT ONLY IN PAUL'S LETTERS...".
Amen! Thank you Brother Luke, for this timeless wisdom!!

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
this is the reality!! "(((((((his righteousness)))))"
He preached it right in front of them and yet the religious hypocrites still did not understand.
Praise the LORD God Almighty Jesus Christ
