It's a little sad. I've been in curch my entire life and heard a lot of preachers. The only real reason i was listening too Rev. Beggs is because of his accent. And then through that I actually started listening too his words. Now he is a man whom i listen too every chance i get.

@mxrdvr That something that did not change its position as the basis of eternal security is summed up in Hebrew 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. The reality of eternal security is based on the source-the Prophet, Priest and King-Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ doesn't fail. He doesn't change. He is forever at the right hand of the Majesy on high. Jesus Christ the Rock of our Salvation that can never be moved. The Rock of Ages. John 10:28-29

@bunman408 you should come to his church in Solon, Oh. I have been going there since High School... it is an amazing community

@sparwood8 Wish I could type lik emy sister.. *don't THINK you can teach passion*

[sparwood8]

@jimzzy49 Hear him again. He is sopt on. The 'church' today has become deader than dirt, because it has bought into the methods and ideals of people such as Rick Warren, et al. I would rather hear a Grade 12 Graduate who is sold out to God, obedient to him, and filled with ths Holy Spirit... and who has studied God's word daily for like 10 years, than an M-theology who has no power, just head knowledge. They are wells without water. I don't this you can teach passion

[sparwood8]

8:42 +- half a minute: So very true. The world suckers us into using it's methods

[sparwood8]

@mxrdvr also: I believe it is impossible to have confidence toward God and to have ANY real victory in life if we coubt that we are saved once and for alla nd forever. I LOVE Psalms 103, btw. I think this is why so many are walking around looking like sad sack (Comic character of the 60's) Jesus words, My people are ROBBED, for lack of knowledge. In America, Canada, the UK, etc we have the Bible and are without excuse..

[sparwood8]

@mxrdvr Nahhh! It is MUCH easier to believe we can 'lose' our salvation. Saved, then unsaved (In other words, to hell if you die on that day) and RE-saved, then backslid, then saved again. 'Salvation plus WORKS preachers just love this idea. they can keep their flock in doubt until the day they die, and therefore rob them of the Joy of knowing God. Easier for me to believe it depends on ME, instead of what Jesus did. TRUTH be known,

@jimzzy49 i must agree with dilligentile. maybe it didnt come across in the correct way. i feel this is incredibly sound, and it was so very well spoken. from "people who argue in that way..." and on, isnt speaking about HIS opinion as God as a marketing exercise. he's speaking to the mislead from true preaching.

@jimzzy49 I'm afraid you don't understand what Alistair is saying... have you listened to the entire clip?
