The world is manipulating people with electro magnetic mind invasive technology to tell people what to do and what to think. People are feeling special to be chosen to belong to a red, green, blue, pink, yellow, maroon, orange, purple, white, silver and gray color team--and any other color that is not mentioned. Those who are working in the shadows are being controlled by a government, and a law enforcement entity. Law enforcement are getting jazzed by believing and thinking that they are controlling teams of various colors. The color strategy and scheme and mind manipulation techniques are used by the world to mimic God's "chosen". God chose you before the foundation of the world was laid. Those God foreknew He also did predestinate. God knows your beginning and your end. The Bible does not tell us that God chose us because we were special. God chooses whom He will. The world is using any and everyone irrespective of social, economic or religious affiliation. Just as there is no respect of person with God, the world uses this same methodology in it's selection. The world is preying off of the fact that we are born in sin and shaped in iniquity and in the absence of the Holy Spirit present in our life; the lusts of the flesh leaves anyone open to be controlled by an unscrupulous entity for deceptive purposes. The world makes you feel like you are special in your color group. What's your favorite color? The world who is gullible and easily misled by whatever they see or make themselves think; form an opinion by the color you wear, decorate your home or the color of car you drive. The world judges from outward appearances. The world can watch you on camera for years and decades and determine that this is what you do at this time of day, this is what you will do today and with the added technology of mind control can tell you what you think or what you are about to think. Do you see how the world is mimicking God? I know your thoughts before you think it. I know what you need before you ask (Matthew 6; Psalm 139). These are prophetic times. Prophecy is being fulfilled. When COVID came, many were devastated, lives were turned upside down, and many experienced huge changes in the way they work, live and play.

This is exceedingly antichristian, and is arguably Satanic. It’s preaching true salvation occurs outside of Christ, and perverts God’s own inclusive invitation to all into exclusive meaning. It also creates a faith + works salvation that coerced people into display good works according to the perception of others. This is a cult. Scripture is very clear that God loves everyone, wants everyone to be saved, sent Jesus as a sacrifice for everyone, and anyone who believes will be saved. RC denies all of this, and in doing so, vehemently works against our God and our Savior. You can have assurance of salvation. If you truly trust in Jesus Christ, you have assurance of your salvation.

Roman 6:16-17 states. "You are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin, which leads you to death, or of obedience to teaching, which leads you to righteousness." And 1 John 3:8-9 states, "Whoever sins belongs to the Devil. No one, who is begotten by God, commits sin." Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, please examine yourselves sincerely and determine which category you belong to. Many of you believe some verses in the Bible, think they know and follow Christ, and are saved; and find themselves to be in the first one. Why? Because they do not truly know Christ, nor the True Faith, and are separated from the Source of Grace like branches separated from the Vine (John 15:6). St. Paul said in 1 Cor 9:27, "I chastise my body and bring it into subjection, lest perhaps, after I have preached to others, I myself should become a reprobate." St. Paul, an Apostle, was concerned about the possibility of losing his salvation, thus proving that 'Once Saved, Always Saved' or 'Faith alone" is a complete lie, and that the salvation requires a great efforts on our part to truly live according to Our Lord's Commandments of Love and observing All He commanded as taught by His One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church (Matt 28:20), so that we may be transformed into the True Image and Likeness of Christ (Rom 8:29, 2 Cor 3:18); because, we are judged, not by Faith, but according to our deeds and works (Rev 20:13, 22:12. Matt 25:31-46). Our Lord said, "Sins against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven (Matt 12:31-32, Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10)." Do not be shocked, brothers and sisters, who follow false teachings of protestant churches, but you all have sins against the Holy Spirit, who remains with and guide the Catholic Church always (John 14:16-17, 16:13). Why remain outside the Catholic Church, Our Lord's Only Fold (John 10:16), and risk your eternal salvation? Come to His Sheepfold quickly, like the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32), before it is too late. Amen!

Agreed. The Catholic “church” is filled with doctrine that directly contradicts the Word of God. Purgatory, prayers to the dead, Mary as an intermediary, just to name a few. All one needs to do is look at the actions and beliefs of the current pope to see that Catholicism may in fact be the seat of the beast.

@Black Prophit No, I'm afraid not. Jesus said that only a few would be saved. Personally, I would guess that only around 5% of all the people who have ever lived will find their way to heaven. As this is an honest definition of a "few". This is scary stuff as most people will believe they are going to rest in peace with the angels, but the horrific opposite will be true. I pray with all my heart that I am not self deceived. My biggest fear is lying on my death bed, terrified of the moment of death. Don't get me wrong, I truly believe in Jesus Christ and gladly accept him as my saviour. The real question is does Jesus Christ KNOW me!!

This Christian gentleman gives a very complicated view of Salvation. He must have a lot of pride in what he promotes as his perfect understanding. The simple way of Salvation is contained in John 3:16. “Whosoever Believes”. Consider John 3:17. Jesus did not come to condemn humanity. We have ALL fallen short and already condemned. So St. John begins his Gospel by confirming, the saved are those who receive the Grace given for the world at the Cross. Grace is given, but we are not forced to receive it. Every soul has the “Free Will” to receive. Otherwise pity the poor souls who were created by God to burn in Hell eternally. So hear the simply words of Jesus: “Whosoever believes and is baptized -(Baptized in the Holy Spirit) shall be saved. The Grace of God is before every soul. Shall we reject it or receive it. Read St. John cp. 1.

He said that. He also said a lot more than that. Things like: CONTINUE in my Word, THEN, are you my disciple's indeed, and you shall KNOW The Truth, and The Truth shall MAKE you free. And, He said, If any man wants to follow me, DENY YOURSELF. PICK UP YOUR CROSS. FOLLOW ME. He also said in The Word, If any man say that they abide in me, even so should they walk, even AS I WALKED. He also said that IF we ABIDE, then we will produce GOOD WORKS and GOOD FRUIT because we ABIDE in The Vine. Meaning, if we do not ABIDE IN Jesus, our fruit may appear to be 'good' on the outside, but the inside is rotten. Jesus said, IF you love me, YOU WILL KEEP my commandments. Jesus said, Only those who DO the will of my Father will enter the Kingdom. Jesus said, Be DOER'S of The Word, and not hearers only, DECEIVING yourself. Jesus said, YOU MUST be BORN AGAIN. There is a narrow gate, AND a narrow WAY. That's just a few, but Jesus said that The WAY is narrow, and FEW find it. Every day He wakes us up is a new day to REPENT AND BELIEVE and walk in the newness of Life 👣 that God promises to those that love Him. Make sure that we first LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD. JESUS IS LORD.

If we have to do all that stuff, then why does Jesus say to those who asked him what works must we do to be saved in John 6:28-29 that we only needed to believe on him and his works to be saved?

@Brian Minder you're absolutely right. But remember, in the book of James we are told that we are saved by grace through faith. Well, we are also told in the book of James that the demons believe also. Then He says "Fools! Do you think that believing is only enough? The demons believe and they tremble with fear at the name of the Lord." "Faith without works is not real faith. Its dead." You can't please GOD without faith. So our good works PROVE that we have faith. Not that we are trying to get ourselves saved by them. They are a result of us being renewed by the Holy Spirit. And when does the Spirit do that? When we repent.

Repent is the change of mind to God and away from self. Repent does NOT mean make a checklist of your sins , give up your sins and turn to Christ. Repent means when you come to Christ and it is the Lord who frees you from sin. The self generated walk away from sin is self righteousness, because God can only accept his own righteousness. That righteousness is found in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Christ died for the elect. Isaiah, John, Romans and Hebrews has all this ironed out so there’s no confusion. Can I or anyone else know if you’ve been elected for salvation, or will be in this time? No. Truly, to say Christ died for all means the point of everything has been missed. Why God made man (not just angels), why man was allowed to fall, and how God demonstrates his attributes of mercy and grace. To say all sins are paid for by the covering of Christ is deceptive. One must have a love for truth and submit themselves to the will of the Father.

I don’t think Limited Atonement is biblically sound, Christ died for the world… His death is sufficient for everyone, but only effective to those who believe and have faith in Him and what He has done for us. We are commanded to preach the gospel to all creation, which wouldn’t make sense if Christ’s death didn’t pay for everyone’s sin, and now all they have to do is believe. Here are some verses that I believe demonstrate that limited atonement isn’t biblically accurate. “My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:1-2‬ ‭ “For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all mankind, especially of believers.” 1 Timothy‬ ‭4:10‬ ‭ “We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:14-15‬ “For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, so that those who live would no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose on their behalf.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:14-15 “Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:18-19‬ “And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes will have eternal life in Him. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” John‬ ‭3:14-18 “So then, as through one offense the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one act of righteousness the result was justification of life to all mankind. For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. Romans‬ ‭5:18-19 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: “But the righteous one will live by faith.” Romans‬ ‭1:16-17‬ ‭ “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. The one who has believed and has been baptized will be saved; but the one who has not believed will be condemned.” Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭

@@slamfire6005okay, so we're in agreement! I don't believe in limited atonement either but "definitive atonement" instead-- "His death is sufficient for everyone, but only effective to those who believe and have faith in him." Your words are how I'd define definitive atonement. But I believe I'm missing something of value to you. Since we agree why then does, "Christ died for the sins of the entire world, not for only the elect!" matter to you? Is it to make the distinction that Christ's death is a means of welcoming the gentile, to prevent a perception of exclusivity? To amend my original response: Christ's death is to assume the outcome as being salvation only for only the elect.

Being reborn is evident in not only how you move but the conviction that motivates how you move.

Those who work in the shadows of governments across the United States and the world are using technology and colors to control and essentially destroy humanity. Oh for sure, God is aware and He is allowing it to usher in what God has already foreordained--the message He gave to His servant John on the Isle of Patmos--the Revelator and to His Son Jesus, who is the Revelation. In the beginning the world was dark and void. So shall it be in the ending. The first, who is God, shall be the last. The last shall be first, who is the Christ (Mathew 19 & 20). The world is manipulating people with electro magnetic mind invasive technology to tell people what to do and what to think. People are feeling special to be chosen to belong to a red, green, blue, pink, yellow, maroon, orange, purple, white, silver and gray color team--and any other color that is not mentioned. Those who are working in the shadows are being controlled by a government, and a law enforcement entity. Law enforcement are getting jazzed by believing and thinking that they are controlling teams of various colors. The color strategy and scheme and mind manipulation techniques are used by the world to mimic God's "chosen". God chose you before the foundation of the world was laid. Those God foreknew He also did predestinate. God knows your beginning and your end. The Bible does not tell us that God chose us because we were special. God chooses whom He will. The world is using any and everyone irrespective of social, economic or religious affiliation. Just as there is no respect of person with God, the world uses this same methodology in it's selection. The world is preying off of the fact that we are born in sin and shaped in iniquity and in the absence of the Holy Spirit present in our life; the lusts of the flesh leaves anyone open to be controlled by an unscrupulous entity for deceptive purposes. The world makes you feel like you are special in your color group. What's your favorite color? The world who is gullible and easily misled by whatever they see or make themselves think; form an opinion by the color you wear, decorate your home or the color of car you drive. The world judges from outward appearances. The world can watch you on camera for years and decades and determine that this is what you do at this time of day, this is what you will do today and with the added technology of mind control can tell you what you think or what you are about to think. Do you see how the world is mimicking God? I know your thoughts before you think it. I know what you need before you ask (Matthew 6; Psalm 139). These are prophetic times. Prophecy is being fulfilled. When COVID came, many were devastated, lives were turned upside down, and many experienced huge changes in the way they work, live and play.

I genuinely and sincerely, from the bottom of my soul, believe Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, God the Son himself. I therefore take his warnings about losing our individual souls very very seriously. Because the simple truth is that Jesus is EXACTLY who he says he is, namely God himself and the consequences of NOT believing in him are very serious indeed. Jesus said if we do not put our faith in him before we die, we will be separated from him forever in a place Jesus himself called Hell. Just think of the shock at the moment we die when we find out Jesus was indeed God, and the die is cast. There will be no second chances. That is why I send these messages in the hope that they help someone to find the truth. Jesus is the Son of God, believe and be saved

Stay on the straight path to the straight gate... It is only by his grace that we have anything. We are all sinners and deserve hell Without him. It is human pride that thinks you can earn god's salvation... Or buy it. No one is better than anyone else in the eyes of god... Except through christ alone... God has no favorites except christ alone. We must be in Him... counted in Him, His Righteousness, not our. Now with such a great salvation we should be broken by this Goodnews to the point of total loyalty... to Him Who gave us everything. We all sin, but we do not want to serve evil... and if we do, we retreat back to Him. This goodnews cannot be understood by though who want to please men... be accepted by men.

But God knew who could have real faith and a change if heart so those He gave Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He owes nothing to people. He could choose some to save. He wanted to save people. It says He wished none would perish but many of us couldnt be redeeemed. Its a paradox but only to us. Still the chosen ones had free will, Lord Jesus or His disciples never forced anyone. All who believed and decided to become like God more and more, were given the Holy Spirit because thats the only way they could really change.

Here is the full verses: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; 9 it is not from works, so no one may boast. Agree 100%! But the question is- what does "through Faith" mean - some Christians say "through Faith in Christ Alone" we are saved. Not sure if that is what you believe. Then I say, but what do you mean by "through Faith in Christ Alone" - what does it mean to "have Faith"? How does this strike you? By faith “man freely commits his entire self to God.” We submit to all Truth established by God. Does this sounds reasonable?

@@PatrickSteil Why are you looking for the minimum "requirements"? If you're seeking God, you'll find Him in his revealed Word. If you're looking for a debate or to be an antagonist, I'm uninterested in engagement. But àssuming you're seeking God and want to know how to be saved, Read John. Then go to a local Bible teaching church and ask questions.

So what's going to happen with those people who thought that they've lead a good life, but unfortunately, they didn't manage to love the Lord with their whole hearts? He will send them straight to hell where they'll burn forever, right?

Hi. Let me clarify something. Soon, the whole planet will burn. There will remain no water on it and the whole thing will look like a lake of burning sulphur and fire, a real lake of burning stuff. To live a good life you have to be like God more and more and you can only do it if gou have the Holy Spirit. To God all our so called good deeds are like filthy rags if we dont have the Holy Spirit and dont follow Lord Jesus. So, yes, even those who were lead to think they are doing good jobs at being good or maybe deceived themselves..they might end up in the lake. Those who are unsaved will end up there and they will burn for a period of time until they pay for every sin they ever comited. After that their soul will disolve but their bodies will burn until nothing is left of them. That might take time because there will be bilions of people burning on the whole planet, probably on top of each other or at least very tight and it will take time to burn. See how sulpburns and imagine how that might burn the bodies there. Thats why they say the fire wont be extinguished..it will burn until all bodies dissapear. Its called eternal destruction because its gonna take some time. But rhe soul wont be conscious for eternity, it will die. It is said that the sinners will perish, will die not have everlasting life in the fire. I hope this helps.

John 17:6-26 Jesus prayed for His disciples but also for others believers. You can see in verse 20. 6 “I have [a]manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. 9 “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep[b] through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was with them [c]in the world, I kept them in [d]Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is [e]lost except the son of [f]perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify[g] them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. 20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who [h]will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Hi. God owes us nothing. În His eyes He owes us nothing, we may see it differently but He doesnt. He knew some could have faith enough to be changed. So He offered His grace through the sacrifice of Christ. He decided to offer this grace to some and not to all. We all sin and all deserve to die, but only a few are chosen. Because He owes us nothing, He can also choose to offer us salvation or not. It pleased Him to save some. Its just what it is. I think I am amongst the unsaved but it is what it is. I deserve to die, I wish it werent so but it is according to God's standards. We do have free will and we majority of us choose bad stuff. Some will say they didnt really know but God knows thats not true. We all get a sense of what is wrong, cause we hear the truth somewhere. We also have a consciemce and I know because I have not listened to it for so many times. All these chosen ones still had free will to accept the truth. Many things seem a paradox to people who arent spiritual and cant understand situations like that of virgin Mary, how God could come down and take a body, how He changes believers into resembling Him, etc. Just know we dont have a real sense of justice. Only God has that and according to Him He is always fair to everyone. I hope this helps .

Everything crystalclear. But than how come that, as Jesus and the H.S. through Paul said, our names can be erased by the book of life and than, logically, we can lose salvation? How come that our works, that some of our stumble impeding us to reach the finish line of the run, can so make us lose salvation in the end?

Sproul conveniently leaves out Jn.17:20, and 23 (refering to His 'everlasting love' for believers from the beginning) which reveals that Jesus was praying first for His apostles which He 'sent into the world' to preach the kingdom of God. Acts 15:7 explains the purpose of preaching the Gospel of peace, that men may 'believe' and be 'begotten through the gospel' (1Cor.4:15), as men are begotten 'of His own will' with 'the word of truth' (Ja.1:18,21), 'born again' of the Spirit 'by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever' (1Pet.1:23), 'chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit AND belief of the truth' of the gospel (2Thes.2:13,14). We are 'In Christ', thus, 'In Him...after that we heard the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation: in Whom also after that we believed, we were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise...' (Eph.1:12-14). It is definitely an 'election of grace' (Rom.11:5) when we are 'grafted in' to 'the olive tree' (Rom.12:17-24,28,33). How marvelous to be partakers of 'His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him' (Lu.18:7) and are 'beautified' with 'Salvation' (Ps.149:4, 1Pet.1:2-5,9,13,20-25). Christ's people are 'a chosen generation' indeed... that we 'should show forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness into marvelous light' (1Pet.2:9), 'the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ' (2Cor.4:6). One thing is certain: all truly 'in Christ', God's Elect, are numbered among the elect and 'redeemed'!!! Loved the video, and knowing that Sproul understands election now perfectly... as soon we all shall.

BM,....There is not one person that will or ever has called on the name of the Lord. You do not understand the word of God. Those few that belong to Jesus, those few he came to save, his chosen ones, his elect, understand the word of God. The entire church is filled with the blind, lost, and the deceived. With those who do not belong to Jesus and who have all called themselves into a 100% fake christianity and a false manmade gospel and salvation. You are steeped in darkness and deception.

So why are you so special that God chose you? You are the one denying that the Bible says "WHOSOEVER WILL", when it clearly states this. And let me get this straight, you are doubting my salvation, when I have stated my acceptance of Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, whom I live for, and have studied, read, and prayed over, the prophetic books of Revelation and Daniel, virtually daily for the past 11years. Explain to me what John 3:16 means when it says, "For God so loved the WORLD". Who are the world?

@@billmartinn9851 You don’t understand the “will be saved” concept. We’re so used to calling ourselves “saved” (past/present tense). However, we “will be saved.” There is a day when some will be eternally damn and others will be brought unto eternal salvation. On that day, Christians will be saved. We call ourselves saved because we will be saved. And it’s not because we believe. We believe because we are born again. Born again->Faith/belief->Will be saved. Those who believe, whosoever, will be saved.
