John 3:16 and Eternally Secure Salvation

Too few "Christians" even say the Gospel correctly anymore, though John 3:16 is clear enough in translation. It's appalling. Most pastors, evangelists, and Christian websites, Youtube videos and chatrooms don't get the Gospel right. So who is saved?

A generation ago -- and you can tell, by the J. Vernon McGee radio series -- it was common knowledge that you only had to believe in Christ to be saved. Not so common, now. Those posting response videos to this one, thinking they refute the LORD's own words, prove that they can't read Bible. It's really sad.

For the Lord says this: BELIEVE ONCE that Christ paid for all your sins, and you are FOREVER saved. Video goes through why that's true. It begins with my giving John 3:16 in Spanish -- which I've not spoken in years, so please forgive the pronunciation -- and then launches into the Greek of John 3:16, to show you how the TEXT ITSELF says salvation is eternally secure, in the Lord's Own Words (all the Bible is from God, but I selected John 3:16 for the red-letter Christians, so even they can't dispute this). Much more information on Gospel issues which you can't find elsewhere on the internet, is in http://www.brainout.net/index.html . Just look for the blue boxes on the page, and click the links (if any) inside them.

The video's Greek-geek stuff in John 3:16 is not hard to understand if you use 1John 1:9 as needed; and is very important. Very simple tense-matching rule in Greek grammar shows you that salvation is eternally secure. Of course, this same information is obtainable in hundreds of other Bible verses, but this one makes a good example.

CHRIST IS COMPETENT. So it's All Cross, or No Cross. The Lord would never permit anything less. Lambs eat and die, they never work. Goats, work. So it's time to separate the sheep from the goats. Guess which ones get saved. So all those Matt7:21 "Lord, Lord" Christians who did some OTHER verb in addition to or instead of "believe", aren't saved! Which 'animal' are you?

God Preserved the Original Word: so it's like you are in the same timezone, as the ORIGINAL writer. With the Holy Spirit's Power, you can learn to read those original words super-fast. And see God much more quickly, much more deeply.

Now you know why God commanded teachers. It speeds the process, makes it more systematic (so you don't pull verses out of context), etc.

@DreamsofMajesty Um, the Greek word onoma is translated as 'name', but it means Title, Reputation, Office, Role, and only rarely means the person's personal name. You kinda need to do some more homework, k?

@brainouty

Well, seeing as you've 'done your homework' maybe you could explain why the Apostles baptized in Jesus' name throughout the Book of Acts. Are you saying that they didn't 'do their homework' either? lol

[brainouty]

@DreamsofMajesty Actually, Jesus is a Title too, equals 'God Saves'. And the baptising was merely with water, a CEREMONY OF IDENTIFICATION (Greek word baptisw, used of Hoplites graduating their 'spears' with pigs blood, a ceremony invented by Alexander the Great).

Getting wet saves no one, no matter in whose name it is. And to baptise was just a ceremony advertising the Gospel.

You really don't know anything. So I'll just walk away. Bye.

Great video!

@jacksmack77 glad you enjoyed it!

@brainouty

Actually Jesus' means YHWH is salvation or YHWH savior. A bit more specific than just 'God saves'. Furthermore, Scripture teaches that baptism is a lot more than what you seem to think it is. Its not about 'getting wet'. Its about being buried with Christ and arising to newness of life. Its a commandment to obey and a privilege, not an optional thing for show or advertising.

Mark 16:16, Romans 6:4, 1 Peter 3:21, etc.

You can be as condescending as you like. Scripture still wins.

HASTINGS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION

Christian baptism was administered using the words, "in the name of Jesus." Vol. 2, pg. 377. Baptism was always in the name of Lord Jesus until time of Justin Martyr when Triune formula used. Vol. 2, pg. 389. NAME was an ancient synonym for "person." Payment was always made in the name of some person referring to ownership. Therefore one being baptized in Jesus’ name became His personal property. "Ye are Christ’s." Vol. 2, pg. 377 on Acts 2:38.2

@OneJohnFiveTwelve you don't know how to read very well. I NEVER SAID what you claim. You need 1John1:9 very badly. If you misread and then get on your high horse over what you IMAGINED someone else said, it means you are carnal. Bye. I will not reply again.
