Also it's for ALL Mankind.

I second that it has been very hard to find a church in person that preachers Christ Alone 4 salvation and not works. Easy to find online

the deceptive false gospel began soon after the close of the apostolic age. little has changed. thank God there are places to find the truth. but it’s not easy. 95% don’t present the one true Gospel of Grace as per Ephesians 2:8-9.

Same!

Same happened to me. Took me 3 years to escape that church

Yup, I was fooled for years, i thought Calvinism was IT! But I began to see some warning signs that something was off so and i resigned my membership. In retrospect, i can see the subtlety of works salvation being preached. It is so convincing. "We're saved by faith alone, but not a faith that is alone" is so cunning.

​@@zebra2346amen. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ that we have escaped the deadly snare of calvinism. I was also in a calvinist church for 3 years. I praise the Lord Jesus Christ for the precious blood He willingly shed on the cross of calvary that is on the mercyseat (Hebrews 9:5) in heaven and washed my sins away. The Calvinists don't talk about the blood all that much. Calvinist churches are dead. I heard 5 amens in 3 years. I'm not joking.

💯👍🏻🙏🏻

Amen!!

O WELL its his own fault. That Hell is his eternal home

THATS TO BAD LOL POR satan

IT SURE DOES

I dont even feel sorry for the bum

I listen to his sermons multiple times too.

I know the Lord Jesus Christ as well. I Have put ALL MY TRUST in Him and him alone.

I was a beaten sheep in the Catholic system until age 26: Since then, I joined every other false outfit and found grace in April of this year (I was 56 at the time.) It's beyond frightening to think how I struggled, knowing I was saved, but everyone trying to tell me I wasn't. The weight lifted is monumental and inexplicable to an unsaved person.

I use 2 wonder if I was reading my bible enough praying enough putting God 1st in my life enough NOT ANY more I'm free of feeling guilty..... I know.... that I'm forgiven of every sin i will ever commit and I LOVE MY REDEEMER 4 SAVING, ME 4 EVER, I'm his and Hés stuck with me and I'm with My precious LORD JESUS CHRIST And its all because .......... I BELIEVE.....IN THE BLOOD OF MY REDEEMER JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD ALL MIGHTY

Its so rear to find the truth among false teachers I LOVE YOU Lord king Jesus

Jesus is my Saviour NOT my behaver.

Ment to say rare to find the TRUTH But i know now i have Jesus and HE HAS ME

Correct! New versions are corrupt and from the vatican. For anyone not familiar with the bible version issue: Research how the Nestle-Aland / UBS new testament text got made and how it's based on the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus manuscripts (the alexandrian manuscripts codex b and aleph) and how the text alters the meaning in many places, how the two manuscripts don't match the textus receptus (the text underlying the KJV which is based on different manuscripts: the Assyrian ones from Antioch) and how they even contradict each other. Then research in which bible versions the text is used. Hint: ESV, NIV, NASB...etc etc Btw. Here is proof it comes from the Vatican: “The text shared by these two editions was adopted internationally by Bible Societies, an following an agreement between the Vatican and the United Bible Societies it has served as the basis for new translations and for revisions made under their supervision. This marks a significant step with regard to interconfessional relationships.” (NA/UBS novum testamentum graece 27th edition p. 45). It's also interesting that jesuits like Carlo M Martini worked on the Nestle-Aland text, how Kurt and Barbara Aland met with the pope etc. To anyone responding without doing your homework: Proverbs 18:13 (KJV) He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

You're in luck. God already told us we can know in 1 John 5:13. "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

Put your imperfect faith in the perfect savior. Just trust his simple promises, John 3:16, John 6:47. I recommend Pastor Richard Fulton’s book (knowing I’m saved) it really help me. Don’t be discouraged, God love you.

Yes. It shows the the world. Not God. James is talking about useful faith. Not saving faith. James 2 has zero to do with salvation and all about serving.

What’s funny is that it was a John Macarthur sermon that actually managed to help me become convinced of the faith alone gospel. Little did I know that John Macarthur himself does not seem to believe that.

I use KJV only and at first some words may cause you to ask what does that mean. Once you learn what said words or old English means no problem at all. Your friend is a good concordance.

Me too. No blood either

When I say you can get saved on John 3:16 it is within the context of the gospel. Nicodemus knew the O.T. very well. Jesus reminded him of the account from the book of Numbers about "look and live". In John 3:16 we see the deity of Christ, God's Son, and in the passage, the context of the serpent being lifted up on the pole (for Christ the cross). I believe that Nicodemus probably had heard the message of John the Baptist about Jesus being the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world. Why else would he come to Him? So, I do not believe that John 3:16 on a poster or sign so to speak, without any knowledge of Who Jesus was or what He did, would be sufficient. But today we DO have an understanding of Christ, His payment for sin, and His resurrection. So, John 3:16 has a context and also content behind it. With that, the condition for receiving salvation is clear in John 3:16. Hope that helps in understanding what I mean. Pastor Cucuzza

So basically God died on the cross for all your sins, it’s a free gift, don’t underestimate the love of God, it is a love we will never understand. He bought you with a hefty price so just be thankful.🙂

This is simple sister. Please read the following verses. First and foremost, the people at the church of Corinth were addressed as *saints.* “Saint” is only in reference to *saved believers,* just like “beloved”. 1 Corinthians 1:2 KJB “Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, *called to be saints,* with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:” These saved believers were also *carnal,* sinning as we are told in verse 3, yet they were still saved, nonetheless. They were not spiritually mature and likened to *babes in Christ.* 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 KJV 3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, *even as unto babes in Christ.* 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For *ye are yet carnal:* for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? *FORNICATION* amongst them, yet still saved… 1 Corinthians 5:1 KJV “It is reported commonly that there is *fornication* among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, *that one should have his father's wife.”* Regardless of the sins committed, these are saved believers. These are *saints.* 1 Corinthians 6:9 KJV “Know ye not that *the unrighteous* shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,” Notice how it says *the unrighteous.* This “list” is pertaining to those who do not have the righteousness of Jesus Christ-their sins are *not* covered by His blood, so *God sees them for their sins.* When we are born again, we have the righteousness of Jesus Christ. No saved believer is known as “the unrighteous”, because we have the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Even though our flesh still sins, our *soul* is in perfect *standing* with God, when it comes to salvation, because, once again, it’s *His righteousness,* not ours. Isaiah 64:6 KJB “But we are all as an unclean thing, and *all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;* and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Please keep in mind, *if* we could lose our salvation, it would not be because of only the sins listed-it’d be due to *any* sin. God hates *all* sins, not just a selected few. We don’t get to cherry pick which ones are the exception to the rule. Fortunately, we cannot lose our salvation, or else we would all be in trouble. For one, no one has stopped the sin of pride or having bad thoughts. There are so many sins we still commit that people just don’t even mention, because comparably, they don’t seem as serious as the ones mentioned in 1 Cor 6:9. Regardless, every sin, no matter the degree, has to be paid for. Jesus Christ either died for all our sins, or He died for none. His blood pays for all our sins, not just for some. I guarantee you, the Pastor who said “do not be deceived” still sins. 1 John 1:8 KJB “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Of course, I am not promoting fornication. We do reap what we sew, and God will deal with each of His children accordingly. Hebrews 12:6 KJB “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.” Romans 8:38-39 KJB 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. *The kingdom of God is spiritual.* It’s within us the very moment we believe (trust) the gospel. Luke 17:21 KJB “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, *the kingdom of God is within you.”* God bless. 🙏🏼

Edit: This is a little longer than I meant for it to be.... Just wanted to explain in depth. Btw Corinthian church was one of the most carnal churches in bible even to the point a man was taking His husband wife as His own, and was chastized severely for it. Yet Paul addresses the them and Him as brethren. They got drunk when taking communion, and some were dying because of God's chastizement, and had all sorts of envyings and debatings, but Paul never questioned there salvation, just exhortated them to realize who they are in Christ. When you are saved, you've been washed and sanctified. He gives eternal life! Not temporary life. Paul was making a point not to take your brother to court in front of the unrighteous, the unbelievers. The unrighteous will not inherit the Heaven, why take your matters to them who aren't saved. That we will judge angels how much more matters pertaining to this life. Paul was saying judge your matters between yourselves. Not Infront of unbelievers. A person who has believed on Christ, are they in there sin? Or in Christ? Every Christian sins everyday. So what's the difference between Him and a unbeliever? His sins are paid for because he believes the record God gave His Son. A child of God who has been saved by beleiving the record God gave His Son can lose out on rewards in eternity for not being faithful as well as receive chastizement from there heavenly Father, and potentially be taken home before there time as a temporal judgement. But people who believe Jesus died on there behalf are saved sealed and Sanctified. Beleiving the record of the Gospel is believimg Christ died on the cross for our sins to give us eternal life. Salvation is eternal, not temporal. One cannot lose there salvation, a child born of God cannot be unborn. It's impossible. A man pointing to someone lifestyle for evidence of salvation is most likely trusting in His own performance. Carnal beleivers who never lived like they were saved will be in heaven and be saved yet as by fire. They will not receive a reward for faithfulness to the Lord. Yet they are saved... Why??? Because salvation is a free gift someone receives when they hear the Gospel (Christ died for our sin was bruised and rose again) and believes the Gospel. They are immediately sealed by the Holy Ghost. Ephesians 1:13 Never to be plucked from the Fathers hand. God didnt make salvation hard. Anyone who adds works or our performance to salvation is not believing the Gospel but rather adding to it. One should serve the Lord, be faithful and such but that's got to do with blessings and rewards. Not to earn salvation. We can't, even the best person you can think of is.... A sinner in need of God's grace and mercy. Shown where? The cross. The question is does she trust Christ went to the cross for her, and second does she realize who she is? A child of God, and thirdly what all she has in Christ. The change people want to see comes through grace, it makes us grateful, rather than fearing and mad because you know you'll never be good enough. She needs to hear the grace, how much God loved her that he went to the cross for her. That will truly melt and transform the heart. Not fear which brings bondage and resentment. A child needs to know they are loved, to appreciate a parent. Being a hard tasker master using fear, punishment and being hard all the time brings resentment. Fear is good in the manner that we should know we deserve God's wrath due to our sin. Someone will only accept the cure if they see the disease. But we should exhalt Christ and what he did for us by giving eternal life as a free gift. That will make one appreciative. Telling one they have to perform brings resentment, and a burden no man can bear, a man that's honest with His condition before a thrice Holy God that is. When someone realizes how much God loves them, and died for them. Not just anyone, the almighty all powerful all knowing, rightoues Holy God of the universe. Knowing what they deserve, but what he gave brings appreciation, and gratifitide. Exhalt the Lord and what he did for underserving sinners. A bad daughter, is still a daughter. She might make her dad disappointed... But does he still love her, want to correct her, and see the best for her? Yes. The question is, has she trusted Christ as savior, and does she know what that means for her. It's hard for one to live a position they aren't aware of. When one is saved, they are in Christ. They are now a saint, even if they don't live like one. If she has trusted Christ, she is in Christ, not her sin, even if she's living in it, sin was paid for. She's just not living her position and will give an account for it at the judgement seat, and could be up for some serious chastisement. Salvation is eternal, not temporal. One can lose a lot in there Christian faith, reward blessings, opportunities, there witness to others, but they cannot lose the free gift of salvation once someone has been sealed by the Holy Ghost.. Sorry this is so long.. Just wanted to explain in depth because there's so many false teachers out there who points to our performance as proof of salvation. There's people who live really good who go to hell because they didn't receive salvation through Christ (but are sinners)and people who live really bad who will be glorified with Christ because they trusted Christ as savior, but may not have anything to show for there life in Christ. A believer should live right and be a faithful witness to others, but salvation is free. Rewards are earned.

@@Northlandchurchstc you're absolutely right, I know that you're golden on the gospel. I hope I didn't come off as rude or anything with that comment becausethat wasn'tmy intention, you're a great pastor and you have a great church.

Pastor covers that in this series "James - A Call To Active Faith". kzfaq.info/sun/PL2B4ebzvFXJCj_oyz4ael4yJHRifJfM-E

James 2 is all about having a USEFUL faith, NOT a GENUINE faith. Otherwise we have a clear contradiction with Romans, "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Romans 4:5 KJV "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?" James 2:14 KJV Titus 3:8: "This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and PROFITABLE unto men." Do you see the word PROFIT in those two verses? Works are for a PROFIT. They are not done as proof of salvation, to be saved, or maintain salvation.

....there is no technicalities here, Satan is plain wicked and evil, and so are the people....

???

If you then who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children... Matthew 7:11 ..the gate is narrow...those who find it are few Matthew 7:14

He's deceived you. It's technically evil to deceive.

Revelation 12:9 KJV - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
