JOHN MACARTHUR How to Test the Spirits Part 1

[mamainmancj]

Polopowers: you have it so wrong there bud. I'm pretty sure johns read about the theif on the cross in the gospels and teaches ephesains 2:8-9.

[polopowers1]

Yet John says the blood is not efficacious. John claims the blood is not distinct but only the death of Christ makes difference. John wrote a book on how works must vindicate Christ or a person cannot be saved. Test the spirits? No work ever vindicated Christ death He stands on His own merit. Works prove faith but not saving faith whether one is saved. John believes works vindicate Christ. Which means all death bed conversions are false and all those who cannot do works are not saved? Test !

[jamesearlcash500]

@polopowers1 no if you really understood what happens when your saved you will WANT to do as much good as you can but more to the point you will WANT to do as little bad as absoloutly possible, basically if you do know what your doing is bad youll stop immediatly. and that in itself isnt what saves you, but when you are saved, your mind and heart will not allow you to willfully sin and you will want to do good anyway.

[jamesearlcash500]

@polopowers1 and john knows and teaches that

[joseph82069]

It's not the words of Paul or John etc.. anyway, it's the words of God. God used them to say what He wanted.

No one ever says, How do we Know Aristotle really wrote this, or Shakespeare wrote that. There are more documented manuscripts of the Bible then any book of antiquity

[lastdaysguitar]

Wish I could rate this, JM is cool!

[gthumb123]

same old bogus arguments from guardian. The church DISCOVERS which books have been inspired by the Holy Spirit in the same way as allesandra volta discovered electricity. He didnt create electricity or have authority over it etc he simply discovered it. Saying the church gave us the bible doesnt add up to church infallibility, papal infallibility or anything else.

[Guardian1223]

Why do you believe what is in the Bible? You first pronounced it the word of God?

[bereansearch]

This is one of the current-day servants of the Lord to the church that I am very thankful for.

[shimmerelle]

i'd love to go to his church...if i could move to California just for that, i would...i 'd love to meet John Mac!!! does he ever go on tour?? i totally respect how he is totally uncompromising in his message...all teachers/pastors.preachers should consider Mac an earthly example of which to measure themselves against

[Ahouseisnotahome]

Thanks for this Blaze, very good.

God bless

[sparwood8]

I have met JM twice. He is awesome.. well he is annointed by God and is filled with the Holy Spirit. Good teacher, and we so badly need more like him

[totallyturtles]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING! I love John Macarthur so much and how he's bible based.

[hyper10shun]

HOW CAN WE TRUST WHAT pAUL WROTE? i doubt alot of it. People who never met Christ

[Blaze25z]

hyper10shun

Acts 9:1-21

2 Timothy 3:16

2 Peter 1:21

[StopFear]

We can trust what Paul wrote because it corresponds with what other people wrote about Jesus Christ. The references go back and forth.

[Blaze25z]

StopFear Yes, you can completely trust everything which is recorded in Scripture..

[4godisjust]

@StopFear

AMEN

[kennysandiso99]

@hyper10shun - Paul beleieved Christian beliefs were lies, a dangerous threat to Jewish teachings and beliefs. This being so, he became an enthusiastic persecutor of the early Christians, hunting them down and imprisoning them.' One day on his way to Damacus to persecute Christians Paul heard a voice from heaven asking him why was he persecuting Christians and immediately Paul went blind, until he accepted Chrsit as his saviour.

[4godisjust]

@hyper10shun

We can trust Paul more then you! Paul was blinded BY CHRIST and he changed his ways, picked up his crossed and followed Jesus, TO HIS DEATH!

[4godisjust]

@hyper10shun

We can trust Paul more then you! Paul was blinded BY CHRIST and he changed his ways, picked up his cross and followed Jesus, TO HIS DEATH! Also He spent his life serving him and doing the will of the LORD! HE did many wonderful thing's in Christ name!

[LiveinSport]

@hyper10shun You can trust paul because Jesus Told Peter That he should be the leader and that what he will say will also count in the Haven.(My englisch is bad, maby somebody knows the exact nr. of this text)

And in on of the Letters of Pete, Peter Confirms Paul as a good Teacher, and also say that some of his Teachings are maby hard to understand but CORRECT.

Read the Bible alot, belive it, do it, its better than any Preacher.

[xhemexx]

@hyper10shun If you don't trust what Paul wrote, how do you know you trust ANYTHING IN THE BIBLE? People that have issues with Paul, must admit then that they cannot know for sure if all the other writers are true, especially in the Old Testament..

Hi Blaze. A great topic, great video. Unfortunately it is very important to test the spirits!  There are so many "supposedly" great men of God who teach a false gospel as if it were truth. God bless
