Paul Washer - Faith only?

[MikellElliott]

A lot of people don't believe we can completely stop sinning one we are saved.

[Stinkko]

i dont like the pictures, i like illustrating the sermon in my own mind.

great message and love the music youve added

[Pacslyf]

great compilation, well done.

[GregS4Jesus]

This is a partial truth. We still have free will after a born again experience. We can backslide. Our "new creation" can apostacize, even Paul said he buffeted his body so he would not be cast away. Jesus said "He who endures till the end will be saved". This teaching contradicts Jesus, even though I appreciate Pauls zeal and shaking up typical churchgoers. He does not go far enough, all the way to Jesus. Luther and Calvin are not enough! We must go all the way to the Bible, to Jesus!

[VeryResurrection]

@GregS4Jesus

Actually, if you listened the whole message, he did talk about "backsliding". Remember, the part where he talks about the new nature being housed in fallen flesh? That's where one can choose to live in the new reality of being the new creation or choose to yield to the flesh and struggle and backslide. So, nothing in this message contradicts the Bible, really. Yes, we must go all the way to Jesus. But we also need good pastors like br. Paul to feed the sheep, while we are here.

[GreenCures]

{{ sigh }}

he's all over the map

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- “Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.” 

[GreenCures]

Why is BrotherRyanHicks saying Paul Washer is teaching Gnosticism? He's not.

He just says in the video that WE ****ARE**** NEW CREATURES!! That is not partial.

Yes and amen, Galatians 5:24 "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." AMEN!

Does that mean you who name yourselves "Christians" NEVER sin?

If you say you have no sin ----YOU ARE a liar and the truth is not in you!

What is the fuss all about? The gospel is ******GOOD NEWS******

stop trippin

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- The Good News is the definition of the word, Gospel; however, the Gospel is, according to Jesus: "He that believes (repents) AND is baptized SHALL BE saved (receive the Spirit of Grace).

[GreenCures]

@ThePhnxman1 okay... i took a deep breath.

***I assume you understand English***

Who said anything against baptism?

You say: "The Good News is the definition of the word, Gospel"

***WHO IS ARGUING AGAINST THAT???

Here is my question to you:

What the the good news of The Gospel mean to you, personally? (forget theology for one moment...i want to know your PERSONAL response to what Christ had done)

For me, I am so thankful to Jesus of Nazareth, Christ God's Son & Son of God, who died and rose!

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- (3) What has the Lord done for me, personally? He revealed his Gospel that I may “show forth the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”; and his words in Mk 16:17-18 have come alive and very real…literally. Every good work has been done in his NAME.

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- (2) The words of Jesus, Mk. 16:16; Peter, Acts 2:38-39; and Paul, I Cor. 15:1-4, agree together and with the words of the prophets. They portray the very Gospel. Too many preachers are preaching a partial Gospel…and leading many astray. How? No one can give what he doesn’t have!

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- (1) Like repentance and receiving the Holy Spirit, BAPTISM is part & parcel of the Gospel that saves. Jesus did not just die, but he was also BURIED and rose from the dead, according to scripture. One cannot truly believe (repent), and deny that the Lord Jesus was buried: nor believe that the Lord Jesus was indeed buried, but deny the resurrection.

[GreenCures]

Paul Washer is **NOT** teaching nor embracing gnosticism!

The man just said we are NEW CREATURES! It is **not** partial. He never SAID that. Oh I'm concerned, and you Calvinism haters that's another discussion, which Calvinism simply reiterates the Biblical tenets of soteriology.

WHICH ONE OF YOU contributed anything to salvation?

---Faith was given to you

---Grace was extended to you

---Christ died for you

---Christ rose from the dead

while we were YET sinners, CHRIST DIED

[GreenCures]

The death of my precious Lord Jesus on the cross did not simply "manifest" the way to salvation!

--- His death on the cross **IS** The Way to salvation!!!

--- Jesus said He **IS** The Way, The Truth, The Life

--- Salvation is wrapped up in the Person & finished work of Christ

JESUS CHRIST IS ALL, He ****is**** our life people. We really ARE dead to sin!!

Be careful people of BAD theology. Bad theology will portray a WRONG gospel. And a WRONG "gospel" will damn your soul to hell

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures Lord Jesus: “He that believes AND is baptized SHALL BE saved…”

Peter: “Repent…be baptized EVERYONE of you…shall receive…the Holy Ghost…’

Paul: “I declared the Gospel…by which you are saved…the DEATH…he was BURIED…he rose again…” Death = repentance; burial = baptism; resurrection = gift of the Holy Spirit.

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- You are quite correct regarding bad theology. Jesus said to establish every word by the mouth of two witnesses or three. My witnesses are found within the scriptures: they are the Apostle Peter, and the Apostle Paul, and their testimony agrees with the Lord Jesus.

[GreenCures]

**AND the music rocks, whoever didn't like it has no taste or sense of rhythm

[GreenCures]

oh! i get it ...i wonder if ThePhnxman1 is an implant, a satanic troll, or implant stirring up confusion. the devil is so tricky

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- Would you call the Holy Spirit "a satanic troll...or tricky"? Did the Lord err when he said, "He that believes AND is baptized SHALL BE saved."? Now THAT is the Gospel, Beloved!

[GreenCures]

@ThePhnxman1

Lol...are you the Holy Spirit now?

Romans 5:22 "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all that believe..." THIS is the gospel in a nutshell.

You want the last word? Go ahead, I'm done arguing about over your frequently muddled and endlessly boring babbling

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- Did I say I was the HS?

Read on, Rom. 3:24: "Being justified freely by his GRACE through the REDEMPTION that is Christ Jesus..."; again, "For by GRACE are you saved through faith...it is the GIFT of God..."

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- Therefore is a man NOT saved by faith, but faith is the vehicle that leads a man to RECEIVE Grace! Or can a man be saved without Grace?  Once more: "...and you shall receive the GIFT of the Holy Ghost. For this promise (GRACE) is unto you, and to your children, as many as afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

[GreenCures]

The gospel.

This is the gospel.

There wouldn't be so many contentious remarks on this video if people understood what the gospel is. The most glorious good news known to humankind!

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- The Lord Jesus redeemed man on the cross, and manifested the way to salvation. The Gospel saves (I Cor. 15:1-2) through its preaching, and is received by those who believe. Can anyone be saved by denying the NAME of Jesus?

[GreenCures]

@ThePhnxman1 (are you greg?)

I don't know what your problem is and WHY you persist on arguing. Also, it seems you are not operating cogently, and have no clear train of logical thought.

NEVERTHELESS YOU SAID:

"The Lord Jesus redeemed man on the cross, and manifested the way to salvation."

Once again, wrong. Jesus's death on the cross did not *simply* manifest the way to salvation. Last time I checked the Lord Jesus Christ said: "I AM The Way"

He is salvation. Christ is ALL..(to be cont)...

[GreenCures]

@ThePhnxman1 (cont) .... as I was saying Christ is ALL

Christ is ALL. He is everything or nothing. With regards to salvation, it's monergism pal. Read John Chapter 3 -----THE WHOLE THING, and see what Jesus has to say about salvation.

I don't understand how ANYONE who is truly born-again can watch this video without rejoicing. Call on the Lord Jesus Christ to save you. Ask Him to reveal himself to you and save your soul from eternal damnation & hell. Only God can give the gift of salvation

[GreenCures]

@ThePhnxman1

i've unblocked you, i think if you want further dialog, just pm me.

it isn't fair to other viewers for you to keep spamming me with silly argumentations that don't make sense. be a man. please

[GreenCures]

Righteousness HAS been imputed to people who have truly been born-again!

Christ BORE the punishment of our sin(s) and paid the ransom!

Who's arguing?

****I LOVE THIS VIDEO. THE TRUE BELIEVER REJOICES OVER THIS VIDEO BECAUSE IT SHOWS:

THE GRACE ALONE

BY CHRIST ALONE

BY FAITH ALONE

*** Salvation is of the Lord. Salvation is a mystery, friends ***

********LISTEN TO WHAT PAUL WASHER IS SAYING!!!!!!!!!! OF A TRUTH!

WE REALLY ****ARE**** NEW CREATURES, HAVING THIS TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS !

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- How does one receive grace?

[ThePhnxman1]

@PureGraceEvangelism -- What is your idea of the Gospel? What, exactly, are you warning the "brand new christians" about? Can a person be saved and not repent? Can one be saved without remission of sins? Can a person abide in sin, and still be repentant? Can a person be saved and leave outside of Grace? "For there is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them who WALK NOT after the flesh, but AFTER THE SPIRIT"

[ThePhnxman1]

--The "born again" experience is indispensable to salvation, but IT IS NOT salvation, itself. It gives man an opportunity to "see" (John 3:3) and CHOOSE, but there is an "entering into the kingdom of God": "...except a man be born of water AND of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdon of God." John. 3:5.

There are many who have repented and have "seen" (perceived, understood) God's kingdom, but loved the things of the world more than God: hence, unable to "enter in".

[ThePhnxman1]

@rolitoss1 --I am glad you are able to "see" that.  Tell me, how do you enter in?

[rolitoss1]

@rolitoss1 real faith in jesus christ defined by gods spirit not man. real conviction of sin and desire of God. submission no excuses. saved by the spirit by the blood of cchrist (love god the father completly)

John 14:15loving god is a natural desire to obey him

[rolitoss1]

@ThePhnxman1 what i meant about a seed being planted is that many ppl feel gods spirit and feel washed and born again, but when they walk out of church the seed surle dies. then they watch these evangalical programs and think because they belive in jesus christ they are going to heaven, then they pass tge next 10 years of their life being mislead,

[ThePhnxman1]

@rolitoss1 -- Indeed, the seed is "planted": it is the seed that brings forth repentance and draws men to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, even as a woman is deceived into aborting her child, so men are deceived into aborting the WORD by the introduction of a false gospel.

The Gospel is simply: "Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the NAME of Jesus Christ fo the remission of sins, and you SHALL receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

[rolitoss1]

@ThePhnxman1 i dont understand if we are disagreeing or on one accord. i understand what you are saying. i think we just express it in different ways. perhaps thats the problem in the christian world right now. perception and expanation. but yes i do understand. i think the prob. is that ppl know these things, but they dont understand them. Repent is more than saying forgive me, yet theres no conviction. remission is a good word.

god bless you

[ThePhnxman1]

@rolitoss1 -- If we agree on anything, it must FIRST be the Gospel. Jesus said, "He that believes AND is baptised..."; Peter said, "Repent...be baptized...you SHALL receive the gift of the Holy Ghost..."; Paul declared that the Gospel is the death (repentance), burial (baptism). and resurrection (Holy Spirit IN the believer) of Jesus Christ. Regardless, we are closer than most.

[rolitoss1]

@ThePhnxman1 Paul declared that the Gospel is the death (repentance), burial (baptism). and resurrection (Holy Spirit IN the believer) of Jesus Christ. Regardless, we are closer than most.

yes ofcourse thats what ive been trying to tell you all this time? repent, die of sins, and become rightious via christ. aka. become a new creature. lol. i think you just like to debate ;) god bless you. thats all i have to say

[PureGraceEvangelism]

by faith you have been saved, not of works lest any man should boast. This is a direct fiery dart against the believers "Helmet of Salavtion" and Shield of Faith" and Breastplate of Righteousness" PROFESSING CHRISTIANS/BELIEVERS -WARNING - KEEP YOUR ARMOR ON!

[ThePhnxman1]

@PureGraceEvangelism --You got it wrong: "...by GRACE are ye saved, through faith...it is the gift of God...". If a man claims to be aved, and has not the Spirit of God, he cannot be saved.

[PureGraceEvangelism]

@ThePhnxman1 Oh...I see...your a Washeruite. Not interested in yours, Washers, MacArthurs or any other Calvinist, Armenians, T.U.I.L.P theology. This theology is one of satans master deceptions of all time.

[rolitoss1]

@PureGraceEvangelism what s wrong with you. not starting trouble, but it seems you have your ears plugged. washer prophesie on grace contantly, at the same time he preaches works. its both. you cant do anything to be saved, but you should be producing good fruit and living a saved life in Jesus christ. you should be ready and convictted, not because you think you should do it.

how did you become saved?

[PureGraceEvangelism]

@rolitoss1 lol, lol, lol. Sounds like you have God all figured out, lollllllll  !!!!!!!

[rolitoss1]

@PureGraceEvangelism U HAVE AN ARGUEING AND JUDGEMENTAL SPIRIT thats why youve madean entire page , soley to condemn one mann of God. i dont knkow everything, but i do love god and its a burden to know how many ppl out there are being mislead into fake salvation just because they believe in God

[ksartin86]

@PureGraceEvangelism Calvinists and Arminians are exact opposites. And be careful about calling people who study theology, part of satan's master deception. I would come closer to saying that ignorance is satan's master deception.

[PureGraceEvangelism]

@ksartin86 The TULIP theology is a doctrine of demon, there, that should make what I was saying more clear oh, and those who believe it have cast off their faith exchanging it for a lie.

[ThePhnxman1]

@PureGraceEvangelism --What are you talking about? How can "faith" save? It is GRACE that saves: that (grace) is the gift of God...it is more commonly called the Holy Spirit: "...and you SHALL receive the GIFT of the Holy Ghost..."!

[GreenCures]

one of my favorite videos...the gospel made plain.

we must be born-again----NOT figurative, we really **ARE** new creatures in Christ!

Glory to God!

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures --The "born again" experience DOES NOT save: it is actually the spirit of repentance from God. A person cannot be saved and still be in sin: his sins MUST be remitted.

What saves us is grace: which is having our sins REMITTED and receiving the Holy Spirit.

[GreenCures]

@ThePhnxman1 -- I'm not sure we have an argument.

Being SAVED = Being truly BORN-AGAIN. I agree with you a person cannot be saved and still consistently walk as a practice in sin, but 1st John says whoever says he is without sin is a liar.

When you get down to it, ultimately salvation is of the LORD. May He be high and lifted up forevermore.

Yes, it is all of Grace alone, by Christ alone. Righteousness has been IMPUTED to us, just as Jesus bore our sin, paid its ransom in His Holy blood

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- Jesus did indeed bear our sins on the cross . However, righteousness was NOT imputed there: mercy was imputed when Jesus cried, "Father forgive them...". Righteousness is imputed when our sins are REMITTED, and we receive "...the gift of the Holy Ghost...". Or will God receive a child and NOT cleanse him; or can one be a child of God and REFUSE to be cleansed?

[GreenCures]

@ThePhnxman,

The most important thing is that Righteousness HAS BEEN IMPUTED!!

The most important thing is that one's iniquities have been FORGIVEN!

The bible says let us endeavour to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

You don't sound so peaceful.

Leave me alone, you've been blocked

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- Exactly! Our sins have NOT been imputed, we HAVE been forgiven, and we have been declared righteous in Jesus. The question remains: when is one declared righteous: BEFORE one is cleansed, or AFTER our sins are remitted and by receiving "...the gift of the Holy Ghost..."?

[GreenCures]

@ThePhnxman1,

The Phnxman1 said: "The question remains: when is one declared righteous: BEFORE one is cleansed, or AFTER..."

Wrong question.

Romans 5:8 "...while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

The question does NOT remain when one is declared righteous.

Christ died, get it? Christ DIED! And THAT'S the JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Romans 5:11 "...we also JOY in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have NOW received the atonement."

You ask when? ****NOW**** we have received!

[ThePhnxman1]

@GreenCures -- If one is declared righteous at the cross, then there is no need for the Lord to be resurrected, right? “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.”

The Lamb of God was revealed at the cross, and paid for man’s sins. Jesus said, “He that believes AND is baptized SHALL BE SAVED.” Who are they who believe unto salvation, but those who are ALSO baptized? “…buried with him by baptism unto death…”.

[ksartin86]

@ThePhnxman1 Salvation is an ongoing experience that starts at regeneration or being born again and moves on from there. There is justification, sanctification, and glorification. You are justified by being forgiven of your sins. You are becoming sanctified throughout your life until you die and become glorified. There is never a part on the timeline though when you have totally conquered sin. I believe Paul speaks of his inability to stop sinning.

[ThePhnxman1]

@ksartin86 -- Justified IS having one's sins remitted: but forgiveness was at the cross: "...Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Forgivesness of sins shows mercy, which withholds the judgment of death; remission of sins leads to grace, which is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[rolitoss1]

salvation is not changing what you do , its changing who you are. The commandments of God , arent possible to obey by men. That s the point of a new creature. Buddists and Christians share the same principalites, except the buddists relgions requiers no fear of God, nor a certainty of where the power is coming from , except follow your own destiny, which can lead to anything , espesially, confusion. There are many decepting spirits out there, thats why ppl have to have something to hold to.

[ksartin86]

@rolitoss1 You are right that salvation is not simply changing what you do, but there had better be a change in what you do that comes out of salvation. There is no salvation without repentance.

[rolitoss1]

@ksartin86 yes if you change who you are , u change what you do automatically. its not the other way around. during the process of transformation, a person goes via many emotions and mistakes, its natural. but we shouldnt desire to live in sin nor partake in wordly things , if we are being transformed. he will test u, train you, and transform you. not over night. part of changing who you are , is repentance, conviction, and desire of God.

[rolitoss1]

@ksartin86 i always tell pp who are struggling. dont make plans to change, no check lists, no promises. once you do that, u start telling god you got it under control. christ himself will pull out your flaws and change them, while you are aware and convicted of them. part of being saved is being aware, we dont walk around hurting ppl and living in sin, and make excuses at the same time. we have to trust in his grace enough to see a difference in our lives, and truely submit /listen to him.

[ksartin86]

@rolitoss1 I agree with you that salvation is being transformed into a new creation. And if that has happened, then life change will be the result. That is my point, but what I am saying is that for a person who is struggling with doubts of salvation, do not look at the supposed experience, look at the results of it. If your life has been changed, then it was probably authentic. I think we are being Paul and James here. Two sides of one coin.

[rolitoss1]

@ksartin86 hmm yes i agree. being born again experience vs literally transforming. i understand it takes a while to see if the seed will grow. sometimes it has to be planted several times, but if a person is sincere God will finish his work in them and if the change isnt external yet, the desire to do good will be there and the seeking will continue. amen

[ThePhnxman1]

@rolitoss1 Then how can Christians and buddhists possibly have the same principles...?

[ronhanish]

WE ONLY GET A NEW NATURE, OR GODS NATURE WHEN WE ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST ACTS CHAPTERS 2,8, 10 ,19 , ROM 8:9, .

OTHERWISE ITS JUST US TRYING TO MANUFACTURE HOLINESS

(Gal 3:3 KJV) "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?"

YOU HAVE TO BEGIN BY THE SPIRIT OTHERWISE IT WAS YOUR FLESH THE WHOLE TIME

MOST CHURCHES TRY TO BE CHRISTIAN BYPASSING THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES BOOK,

ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT IF U NEVER HAD THE SPIRIT

AHHHH, AMAZING GRACE, THE GREAT MYSTERY OF SALVATION

[kikoredog]

So I was born Catholic I guess, and I really do not know the difference between a Catholic and a christain or any other forms that believe in jesus. My question for you (paul washer i guess) is, do you think all those other religions are damned to "your" hell for not believing what you do? Do jews go to hell just because they decided some other guy was the shizznazz? Do muslims go to hell because they decided this other way of life (which in the end is the same) is better? Thats my question to u

[kikoredog]

@kikoredog And as a P.S: I'm pretty sure I do not believe in anything right now. Why would go, in all his wisdom and stuff, NOT HELP US RETARDED HUMANS? Its like we are some sick game of his where he watches us kill each other and shit, and even though he could snap his fingers and show us / make us not kill each other.. he doesn't. He just DEMANDS OBIDIENCE or your damned for eternity. That is NO GOD I would ever want to follow. Buddism sounds cool, ha.

[LeetSheep]

This is all stupid i hate getting linked to this shit.. Its meaning less anyone who is watching this is being brain washed, i dont understand why certain animals are bad and other arent, some people kill other people does that mean all people are evil?

[116unashamed]

Look at how we already create false lines of acceptance. All of the inside versus outside of church words, actions, thoughts. We are afraid to even be honest with ourselves. Basically I agree with the heart of Lordship (though I think there is strong support for Free Grace). We have to be honest though and admit that it begs for a line to be draw in the sand. Well if assurance exists, it begs for a line to be drawn. What are ya'lls thoughts?

[116unashamed]

I am unsure where I stand on this Lordship vs Free Grace. I would agree that there must be a true desire for God in every believer's heart, but I am afraid that through Lordship theology we will create our own false line of just how good you have to act to be considered saved. One of the biggest challenges that faces the church today is pornography and sinful sex. I fear that this false line of good works will keep everyone hiding as they are now pretending that they don't struggle...

[SalvationEternity777]

[tabitha2644]

1 John 5,3 ''For this is the love of GOD, that we keep his commandments:and his commandments are not grievous".

[MrSoulja87]

I like Paul Washer. No watered down gospel.

[BrotherRyanHicks]

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. (Galatians 5:22-24).

Paul Washer's Calvinist/Gnostic teaching of being a partially new creature/sin being committed in the flesh only does not line up with Galatians 5:24. Could it be that most do not cease from sin because they are not Christ's own? Let God be true!

[classicalpentecost]

@BrotherRyanHicks AMEN! This guy teaches that our flesh is unregenerated. Therefore, a man can excuse all of his wickedness on his "flesh"! Our flesh doesn't have a mind of its own outside of a "carnal or spiritual mind". It is controlled also by our SPIRIT! If the spirit is redeemed, that flesh will be crucified! What can the flesh do without the spirit? NOTHING! If we WALK IN THE SPIRIT, WE SHALL NOT FULFILL THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH! Rom. 8:8-14

[BrotherRyanHicks]

@classicalpentecost Very good Scripture. That is the promise of God, just most people do not care to obey it and receive the promise! 1 John 1:10 deals with the Calvinist/Gnostic idea that their sins are not really sins, but just something their flesh does (as if their will is enslaved to their body???). They make God a liar and the truth is not in them when they claim that their sins are not really sin. The flesh is not the problem, an evil and unregenerated heart is the problem.

[crem004]

Amen brother, but let us not forget what Paul said to Corinth:

1Cor 3:1 "But I, brothers, could not address you as a spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?"

I believe this is what Washer is speaking on.

[ThePhnxman1]

@BrotherRyanHicks -- Most do not cease from sin, NOT because they are not called of the Lord: but because they are not taught holiness. "How shall call on him...believe in him...hear without a preacher...?" Surely preachers have been sent, but have not obeyed.

[BrotherRyanHicks]

@ThePhnxman1 Perhaps, but if they are saved they have the Spirit of Grace who will lead them into all truth. If they are sitting under the same preachers that they "get saved" under and never learn holiness, then it is unlikely that the "gospel" that they accepted was true. Jesus taught repentance and faith, but most preachers today teach faith minus true repentance. God bless you.

[ThePhnxman1]

@BrotherRyanHicks -- Very Good. Question becomes "if' they are saved. A man cannot be saved without the Gospel: and there are few who seem not to even KNOW the Gospel!

[CatholicCross1393]

How do I become saved?

[ArthurThePooh]

By doing the will of the Father.

[ScottDaMoose]

how to be saved?

If you do not know if you truly belong to Christ I would suggest going to the source.

cry out to God---Everyday and night and dont stop until you know. It might take months, weeks, years, or days but: He will let you know!

This would be a good place to start.

[SeraphGirl0808]

Humble yourself, admit you can do nothing without the power from God. Open your heart and acknowledge you need a Savior to help you. Give your burdens to God, let Him fill you. He's your Provider and He's always ready for you. :)

God bless. ^_^

[DezzyRayz]

@CatholicCross1393 By your new wants and the new way that you look at the sin in this world and ultimately by your FAITH in Jesus Christ. We all fall short but your Faith in the Lord will make you see the sin in yourself and in the world. God Bless You.

[MyKingUponZion]

Those who truly let Jesus do a work in them and pursue the truth with all their mind heart and soul and obey the commandments and lay down sin are truly transformed...I have seen Jesus do a work in my life in the 7 months that I have been reborn. I am starting to not even recognize my old self anymore compared to how cold my heart was before I gave my life to Christ...Praise the Lord! I still have much work to do though...it never ends till we are made perfect in Christ.

[goldbergthe]

well if u here all the sermon he say all the time the christians do sin and in fact we do all the time but we should not sin willinglly

[goldbergthe]

well the blibble say that the spiret kills the old man :-P and he means that we don willingly sin so that grace my be more strong in us

The music was creeping me out (not because it sounds spooky, but because i think its secular, correct me if i'm wrong) and the images were absolutely horrid - a naked man? please, have mercy! think i like to look at some man's parts? i don't care if he was a drawing. i love the message though.

[mormonanswerman]

More passion, more raising of voice, more charisma, more distraction from the Spirit of God. More man drawing attention to himself.

[thegreatone12345678]

thank God for paul washer.

[Fox2reloaded]

that was Amazing!

[VictorLepanto]

Wow! He is denying one of the foundational doctrines of the Reformation. He is rejecting the classic Prot. principle of imputed righteousness in favor of the older original Christian teaching of infused righteousness. But he takes it too far. St. Paul taught of two men warring w/in us. He is practically denying that the old man remains in us. You certainly do not attain perfect holiness at the point of repentance.

[epunkrn1004]

I don't think his point is that we become ultimately holy and therefore are sinless, but rather that we need to go through that sanctification process and strive to live that holy life that God calls for.

[VictorLepanto]

"The believer will never continue in sin that grace may abound." That sounds like saying someone is sinless. God does not destroy our human nature. The new man does not kill the old man.

[epunkrn1004]

I agree that our spirit and our flesh are in a constant battle with eachother because while the spirit seeks after God, our flesh seeks after the world. I don't think the "old man" and the "new man" as you say it can exist together. When we're born again, a new being isn't added to our old, but the old is changed into a new being. I think he's challenging us to struggle with sin so we will "never contine in sin"

That's just how I understood it and I thought maybe I'd share my thoughts =)

[VictorLepanto]

My friend, your words are bordering on Gnosticism. This association of the flesh w/ sin & making out that the flesh only "seeks after God" is precisely what was at the heart of Gnosticism. It is in our SPIRIT that we sin, there is where our will lies. St. Paul's language of "the flesh" vs. "the spirit" is part of a common Greek idiom St. Paul was obliged to use but did not properly express the true Judeo-christian view.

Satan is pure spirit & is perfect evil, animals are pure flesh & don't sin.

[epunkrn1004]

What is your view on being born again then? Are you saying that a new man is being added to our sinful nature? Are there two beings within us?

[VictorLepanto]

My view of being born again: I am in favor of it, & we should all do it as the Bible teaches us to do so. & yes, a new man is being added to us; His name is Jesus Christ. He is added to our hearts. He begins to transform our nature w/in us. We retain our human wills. It continues to be constrained by the conditioning, memories it has developed in life. We are given the means of resisting our sinful tendencies, we learn to submit to this new will operating in us. These short spaces aren't enough.

[epunkrn1004]

I think we disagree on some points. Being born again isn't a should...it's a must and the foundation of the Christian faith. Believe in Christ as our saviour and Lord isn't a mere confession, but a transformation and thus, being "born again." I don't know how much of my point I can get across in this small space..like you said, they're not enough. Jesus cannot dwell in place of sin. Our hearts cannot be of the old nature and have Jesus "added to us." We need to change first.

[archdelux]

Amen

[netta2158]

Praise be the name of the LORD.  Amazing and powerful message, thank you for this wonderful understanding and truth in JESUS' name. Amen. GOD bless you always. 8^)>

[Jer0mmel]

Why the annoying music under this message??

[NobodySpecial85]

Great message on needed works to justify your salvation, not just faith alone/only. James 2:19-20

[ktorch]

I just love it when Christians tear each other apart. It's becomes more and more apparent to me that very few Christians know very little about their religion and especially their scriptures. They go to church, drink the blood of their god and chomp down on a morsel of his flesh, and they think they are saved from something! I'm grateful to know I am saved from their damaging ways and beliefs! Christians, if you really want to know more about your scripture, ask an Atheist!

[MichaelGabrielR]

@ktorch

Nope, I don't want to have anything more to do with Roman Catholicism (which is by no means Christian, whatever they say), thank you.

:-)

BTW, you've just proven your ignorance of Christianity.

[SaintJohn86]

Great video,something I needed to hear, Oh yeah, what is the music that on it?

[lanceadams123]

goooooooooooooooood massage

[klondike0723]

Live life not obsess over it Im still counting how many times you said "Grace"

[NobodySpecial85]

Amen brother!

I get 'saved by grace' hypocrites every time I preach the gospel on the streets! The part about the pig is a very awesome analogy to tell someone for them to understand living in holiness as a requirement, not something not attainable.

[kbphilly8]

Great message!

[demondagger19]

that music in the background is really anoying.

[RobertBaral365]

Screaming and laughing they are dancing in your head. The angels arrive scorched by the flames of Satan. On Sabbath day from the ashes come the demons. They are our kings of blasphemy. Sabbath day is now demon's day. Now they are the true masters of your fears. Dark clouds have obscured the sun. The demons from Hell are rising in your mind. You may run, though you can never hide. Their Satanic dancing has attacked your puny brain. You can't escape, they are the kings of blasphemy.

[KarensFaith]

Very powerful! He is one of the best, isn't he? Thanks for this and God bless you!

[mikevoter]

Paul did not say that it is impossible for true Christians to remain in sin. He certainly instructs on overcoming sin but recognized that real Christians are sometimes overcome by sin there whole lives. We do have two natures struggling within us. The Holy Spirit enables the believer to overcome the flesh by strengthening the new nature. It comes by being fed the word of grace.

[ironshadowspider]

yet another great Washer message- but dude, what's with the scary pictures, and the joker?

[Iamjustifiedromans8]

What a great message - Justification by faith alone! - no works. A fundimental truth that has been distorted by many and needs to be preached.

[MereMessenger]

Great explanation on faith. Mormons should benefit from this. My only suggestion is take away the background music...

[txndi]

Not trying to be picky here, but the background music takes away from the sermon. The sermon really enlightens a person on what true salvation is all about. and needs no drama to give it a boost.

[joshballard37]

YEAH!!

[shaunthebaptist]

Pray for more men to be raised up that have the Spirit of God upon them. I don't mean a prayer and then forget about it. I mean PRAY to the One True God that he would have mercy...

[fruitofspirit]

Great job!

[SirNitnelav]

Very Nice

[BonzaiJakab]

This is great! I am glad somebody finally added photos to this message. :) Thank you, my friend.

[QuantumSelf13]

What a strong message. Amen brothers.

[Clorell]

thanks for sharing.. I liked especially the part "I am the viine now you need to try to be a branch" it just perfectly points out what it is all about in the christian life

[ChristopherMillz]

In context, the heart is deceitful ONLY when it departs from God. The Holy Ghost can purify our hearts. We can become a new creature in Christ.

[PaulWasherSermons]

yes. true believers are made new creatures in Christ, and given a new heart, min and will

[PureGraceEvangelism]

@PaulWasherSermons Any and all believers in Christ are "true" believers in Christ. No one can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Spirit. In Jesus name, amen!

[ThePhnxman1]

@PureGraceEvangelism -- That is correct: but not right. No one can say that Jesus is THE Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. There are too many who are claiming that Jesus is one of three (or more) lords...negating his Lordship. Why? Because they have not come to a saving knowledge of his NAME!

[Revinius]

@ChristopherMillz even believers being regenerated are a long way off 'trusting their hearts' to give them an accurate view of reality.

[sungmee45]

AMEN!

[kiarabella89]

Praise God for brother Washer.
