@@Qtip-in-ear “Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” Luke 18:17

Yes! Thank you. I think childlike is fine. If someone has a hard time understanding the simplicity of salvation, then we teach and help them. - Trent

​​@@Qtip-in-earYou are missing the point. That term "child like faith" refers to us believing in Jesus Christ like how a child would fully believe there is a Santa Claus or the Easter bunny or Toothfairy.

​@@Qtip-in-ear It's absolutely fine I can tell your question is genuine. No, not at all. Do you know when you tell a child something like you better behave or Santa Claus won't bring you any presents this year, and they truly believe it or any story for that matter you tell them they believe it to be true. That is childlike faith, Scripture tells us we need to truly believe it and when you do truly believe Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross and he took all of our sins upon him and his blood was shed and he died and he was buried and on the 3rd day Jesus Christ rose from the dead conquering and defeating death and is now at the right hand of the Heavenly Father. If you truly believe in that than you are saved and will remain saved forever.

Scripture does not quantify or qualify any difference between “believe” and “truly believe.” The better statement is “believe it to be true.” That, I would accept. I know I’m saved because Christ died for my sins, was buried and rose again. He gave me eternal life. A child can understand that. You can do it on your hand, with a Jacob’s ladder wordless book, or any simple tool (barring misuse of the green color). Adding “truly” to “believe” adds a strain or perhaps an attachment of works or change to the gospel. Faith is believing is faith is believing. It is a change of mind (repentance - mental ascent to the facts) from unbelief in Jesus to belief in Jesus. Can a child do this? Yes. Childlike faith? Yes. Thanks. - Trent

Amen!👍

Solid Tommi! Thank you - Trent

Amen ✅

Thank you for the kind words. It’s frustrating to us sometimes too, but we all have opportunity to share the actual good news with others. Thanks! - Trent

You hit the nail on the head, he and other Calvinists are teaching a form of RCC with a twisting of the scriptures. That is what the Aminian does as well, trying so hard to get us to believe Jesus didn't get it right but they have, and we can lose our salvation, neither camp is correct nor are they biblically sound.

@@LookinUp_ I agree with your second statement, and many of these people will blow it off. You have to tell these people that they're going to hell for trusting in themselves, Why would you lie to people and give them false assurance.

@@LookinUp_ No, I know what you mean. Yeah you're right.

first of all, you must have the Holy Spirit living within you to be saved. The Holy Spirit is the seal of God, and your evidence you have been Born Again. the Holy Spirit is the key to overcoming sin. We cannot defeat it with our own willpower. The Holy Spirit brings you into a relationship with Jesus. He gives you the desire to love and serve God. He also gives you the desire to pray, and read the word. He is our helper and teacher here on earth. He helps us find our purpose in our walk with the Lord. Without Him, we will struggle, become discouraged, and eventually fall away. So be certain you have received Him, because we need to depend upon Him to make us more like Jesus everyday. When you sin, the Holy Spirit will convict your heart, and will lead you to repentance. The Holy Spirit will give you the power and strength to sin less and less. John 14:25-26 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Yes, those men have demonstrated faithful exegesis of the Word! Praise God for men who study to shew themselves approved. - Trent

I Thank God for Pastor Jesse Martinez and your church promoting the clear GOSPEL@@BibleLine

Hey there! Have you believed Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died, was buried and rose again for your sin? Yes? You have eternal life. There is no adding “true, real, super, extra” or any term like that to faith. Belief is simply a change of mind from unbelief. You accept the stated, scriptural facts about Jesus as true for yourself. That settles it. Cf John 3:15-18, 5:24, 1 John 5:10-13. Thanks! - Trent

@matthewy8768 The Confessional Reformed (CR) theology holds to a Calvinist soteriology. I would advise, in love and discernment, to be careful and aware of their doctrinal differences. I don't know all the differences between Calvinist and CR theologies but because the latter adheres to Calvinist soteriology, then one would believe that before the foundation of the world, God selected a limited number of souls to grant salvation to and there's nothing any individual person can do during their mortal life to alter their eternal fate. I have been exposed (but not converted) to 23-years of Calvinism. It's a slippery slope and if one is not careful, they will find their Christian beliefs mixed with Calvinist leanings and not realize it. It appears that CR and Calvinism are two sides of the same coin.

@@lai7527 I can understand that issue. But the gospel they herald is intact. I don't agree with all their views, but its really refreshing to listen to them proclaim the pure gospel. They do tend to kick back against calcinistic legalism ect. But I do find myself more "at home" with brothers such as this preacher as I come from a more Baptist background. It's sad how many voices are in the airwaves preaching a grace plus works gospel. So for all intent and purposes I would consider the guys at theocast truly brothers in our Lord Jesus.

@matthewy8768 For my own edification, I listened to one episode of Theocast. It makes me wish that the Calvinists I know responded in grace and love like that of the Theocast speaker. I do believe there are Calvinists who are Gospel believers who don't appear to be locked into the systematic rigidity of their doctrine. It's the ones who believe Calvinism is the Gospel that are hard to engage in conversation with.

@@lai7527 yes I agree. They are I believe restoring the proper gospel among the reformed calvinistic community. We have to remember the Lord has His people In alot of different church's and theological systems.

@matthewy8768 Just wanted to thank you for sharing Theocast. I have listened to their explanation of the Gospel and found it spot on! I think this channel and Theocast are very similar if not equal to how to present the Gospel and other teachings. I am hoping to send Theocast''s Gospel to a Reformed friend. Please pray that he hears the Gospel outside of the Reformed theology. May God bless you!

Yeah, KZfaq just runs ads “similar” to the content produced. I suppose we fall in the category of “Religious and Spiritual.” - Trent

@@BibleLine yes, I just hate that cultists are able to hijack the true Gospel, to lure in the unsuspecting. I know you don't control it. Again KZfaq is the Debel, As is Fooseball, ; )

It’s called the grace New Testament commentary - written by Bob Wilkin

I know Tom Cucuzza has a NT commentary - secureforever.org. Thomas Constable is decent on Esword, but take that with a grain of salt. - Trent

Thank you ​@@alexgarratt3808

Thank you

yes, Christians can lose their salvation. If they are living in habitual willful sin, even after they have accepted Jesus as their Savior, and they do not repent before they die. Because those sins are not covered, they can go to hell. If they repent, and ask for forgiveness, then God will restore them back into the family of God. Just because you are born again, does not mean you automatically get a free pass to live anyway you want as a Christian.

@Outsider4JC well praise the Lord brother 🙏 love you

They can lose their faith and become apostate, but they cannot lose their salvation. They are sealed from the moment they believe - Eph. 1:12-14 - Trent

@@BibleLine they cant lose their salvation if they repent in time. but if they were to die in that state, they could be in danger of being separated from God. I am proof of that, because I was born again, then walked away from the faith for over ten years. I was living in sin, and ignored the Holy Spirits conviction. I knew that if I were to die at that moment, I would not have made it to heaven. But when I finally reached my lowest point, I surrendered my life back to God, and the Holy Spirit restored my faith instantly.

Right on. - Trent

*I'm 71 now and have read only the exact same copy of the King James Bible my church gave me in 1961. (This does not mean I was a King James onlyist but now I'm glad I never read any others or I might not have noticed the changes as quickly.) I had memorized many scriptures from it through the years. Then in 2014 I started seeing changes in it that I couldn't explain. I have an exceptional memory, for instance I can draw a detailed picture of my baby stroller. I had never owned a computer or heard of the "Mandela Effect" back then. But after being given my first computer in 2016, I finally found out why I had been noticing all of the oddities that I couldn't explain. I then started diligently studying what should actually be called the ''Daniel 7:25 Effect''. That's where God said He would give the antichrist the power to "change times and laws'' which we now know meant (history and scripture plus laws of physics). We're seeing many end times prophecies being fulfilled SUPERNATURALLY! This is some of the "lying signs and wonders" that God told us He would give the AC power to perform which would even deceive His very elect, if it were possible in 2nd Thessalonians chapter two!* *God said in the end of days, (NOW!) that He would send us a famine for hearing His word in Amos **8:11** and that He would give the antichrist the ability to do this in Daniel 7:25. In Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 He told him to seal his book until the end days. He told John **_not_** to seal his book because the end time is at hand in Revelation 22:10. One of the Greek definitions of seal in Strongs concordance is “to protect from Satan”. He also told us to write His words in our hearts, which meant memorize, if not word for word at least the essence of what was written, because He knew this was going to happen.* *God commanded us to "prove all things", and people **_better_** obey Him, especially on this subject. I urge you to research this. There are many Brothers and Sisters making videos about the changes with more proof of what was originally written and I have lots more about this in my playlist 👉 which can be found by typing in ( proof of bible change residue junkie )* 👈 kzfaq.info/sun/PLOTw4zBND_NPf66nKUONLoe2MNFLb5LQr *I've continued to study scripture and have grown MUCH closer to Jesus by learning what Satan has been changing. Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled too, and the only way it can happen is by not being able to see these videos that document what used to be written in our bibles.* *_May God bless all who read this with eyes to see this incredible faith strengthener, and how close we are to our Saviour's return!!!!_* ❤✝️💪 *P.S. After people have taken all of the required 💉's, they will apply a quantum dot invisible tattoo to their head or hand, but anyone who has had just one has a bluetooth mac # that can be read by any smart phone and when you walk through the deal at an airport they know if you have it. The no buying or selling is happening incrementally and will be complete when cash is abolished and worship can be defined as "to fear, obey and trust in someone or something" which is what they are doing with the Beast System and the Image of the Beast, (NWO and TV!). They also now have triple helix DNA, are no longer human and if they have children they won't be human either! Yes, this absolutely is it, and👉 if you write me at the address on my about page👈 I'll send you 17 **_shocking_** films that will PROVE it to anyone who has the courage to watch them.* *P.P.S. YT will not notify me if you reply here so write me at residue junkie in one word at g mail.*

Praise YHWH!
