I avoid Paul Washer like the plague because he crushed me just like he crushed that woman.

Paul Washer literally said once.... "No, no! If you don't have works, you're going to hell." But Paul the apostle says "But to him that worketh not, but believeth... his faith is counted for righteousness" (Romans 4:5) Paul Washer said "There's no such thing as a carnal Christian" Paul the apostle says "But I am carnal, sold under sin" (Romans 7:14) and "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal [...] For ye are yet carnal... (1 Corinthians 3:1, 3)

Found you through the first part of this video. Excellent! Subbed and will be watching more…thank you 😊

If he believes he believes. Teaching another gospel or leaving people confused is definitely dangerous

According to Calvinism, which Paul Washer believes, his answer to that girl should have been, "Nothing. There is nothing you can do to be saved, because that would be synergism and we can't have that. You have to hope that God unconditionally elected you from before the foundations of the world. You have to hope that you are irresistibly graced, and that you are given faith. But understand that you probably aren't."

Here is the question. What was she supposed to be waiting on by crying out to God. A vision, a voice, a feeling. I can't see how anyone could have Paul Washers back. I was saved later in life at 46 and a friend of mine gave me a Paul Washer video to watch thinking he was helping me. After watching the video I was a wreck, I just knew that I wasn't really saved. My advice stay away from Paul Washer.

Great point Bro. Jesse... she's saved because "she had an emotional experience and feels saved, crying out to God?" No mention of Jesus Christ whatsoever! No mention of His death, burial, resurrection! His shed blood in Washer's response to this poor girl ...when she asked what must I do to be saved? We can't replace the true gospel with emotionalism and expect people to get saved and have complete assurance...it's a vicious cycle of desperation.

My pastor told me of someone who was in our church years ago, and for years she was growing in Christ, fruitful, etc. Then she got under Paul Washer's teaching. Got confused, mixed up, didn't know what to do, turmoil, etc. Left the church, left the faith, nowhere to be found. I got under similar confusion from John MacArthur. didn't get exposed to Washer cuz my pastor had warned me of him, but by listening to him, I know exactly what the problem is.

Calvinism is the ultimate narcissism!!!

Paul Washer just uses dramatics to get more viewers. He must not care 😕

Nevee seen your videos.....so glad they came across my path. P.W. caused so much distruction in people's lives.

Thank you brother. TRUTH.I am a graduate of a Pentecostal / Charasmatic Bible College and believe like you on salvation . Although I'm not full time in the ministry I am always looking to learn. I had a brief encounter with the legalists/reformed theologians through a lady that I met. It was my worst experience in my faith I have ever had. They suck the life out of you and make you miserable. The Holy Spirit is edification and progress while dead works makes you feel terrible and worthless. Thank God I managed to get out. All they do is argue and attack rather than pray and encourage the body. All we can do is pray for them that they understand the love of God.

Man....this was deep

I was saved over 20 years ago, but if I listen to Paul Washer can feel condemned and unsaved. One day I shared one of his sermons with a biblically wise teacher in our church and she stopped 5 minutes into his sermon and called him a false teacher. Besides driving people away, Washer encourages prideful Christians to admonish and condemn others (all of course in the name of “love”). Thank you for speaking the Truth in love.

The sad part of these calvinist preachers is how they say you have to beg and plead and hopefully God will save you. No real assurance of Salvation. Hopefully you're one of God's chosen elect. The Bible is so clear that whosever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, not might be. Thank you Pastor for this. In Christ we have true assurance of Salvation. Whosever believes and trusts in Jesus and what he did for us on the cross is saved.

Posting for the algorithm 😎

Brother Jesse, I am so glad I found your channel. I really enjoy your videos. I've always had a problem with Washer. He never smiles, seems like he is always mad. I just would not want to sit under his ministry.

I think he will be greatly welcomed if you reach him about these tapes. You are doing a great Job brother, I will still listen to him however paying attention to what he’s saying.

Amen pastor Jesse, a charade 😢

I understand what you are saying Pastor Pearl is the same way. That’s why I assumed they believed OSAS. Thank you for making that clear.

Believing saves you, not glowing.

Hey, brother. You refer to the finished work of Christ on the cross. What do you you consider that to be in light of Romans 5:10? Thanks

Amen.

I wondering why did he make it so difficult for that poor girl to see salvation by grace through faith alone in Christ alone. Everytime I hear that stuff I get so troubled. Thanks Pastor Jesse for your excellent teaching. God bless.

Most sickening message from Paul, totally void of the gospel of grace that brings the free gift of salvation by grace alone through faith in Christ alone. Thanks Pastor Jesse, so blessed to have people like you bringing in true light of the gospel. God bless.

Amen

The method of evangelism differs from person to person in Calvinism, contingent upon the evangelist's judgment of the sinner. Typically, those who are heartbroken receive assurance from the evangelist, while those who believe they are saved are confronted with words that cast doubt on their salvation when the evangelist believes them to be "false Christians". This is the usual approach, which is bad in itself. But for some reason, Washer believed that this desperate woman needed to hear these heartless words to force her to take the steps he thought necessary to save her. Reprehensible.

That video made me agnostic. I saw this video of Paul in 2015. I asked God to save me one time and had a nervous feeling. Pray my eyes will see the truth or something.

Begging is better than nothing. But if your willing to beg, your willing to except christ into your life.

Paul needs to repent over this sermon. I'm shocked over this as I would have never believed it.

GOD Saved me in 1997 just by reading the Gospels Matthew... and when I got to Acts, I believed and Trusted that JESUS saves me, that HE died for my sins... then years later I came across radio programs like John Mcarthur...Ravi... Allister Beg... and found Paul Washer on youtube. oh and way of the master kirk cameron... was drwn to it because washer seemed so passionate. well GOD set me straight. their teachings are false gospel...they love all their books and teachings...

I recall another story of Washer where he spoke of some guy reading a scripture until he began to holler "I'm saved!!!!". It made me feel if I didn't begin to involuntarily rejoice like that I must have "never really been saved".

some twist the scriptues because they know the scriptures. some twist the scriptures because they dont know the scriptures

Good video. PW does confuse things.

There is a very sad reality to what Paul Washer is saying. There are many people I that I have been praying to come to salvation in Jesus for many years. If predestination unto salvation and regeneration preceding faith is true then all of my prayers and witnessing of the gospel is futile. We know God can not lie and does not contradict Himself. The gospel is clear and full of Gods mercy and love for all!!!

Thank you Pastor for preaching THE GOSPEL OF GRACE . Paul washer is under accursed according to Galatians 1:8-9. He should change his name from Paul to Saul . Paul The apostle preached The Gospel ,the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Paul Washer will have a ton of blood on his hands.

I heard a wise friend say this: "Let's not be so afraid of false conversions that we get in the way of real ones." This guy sounds like Johnathan Edwards. God was willing to save us while we were yet sinners. He doesn't need his arm twisted! The father of the prodigal didn't even let his son finish his apology, let alone allow him to become a servant! The problem with many "gospels' is not that they are too good, too generous, but that they aren't good enough. It is supposed to be good news, after all!

I have a friend that teaches baptism saves and he has some verses that seem to teach that . Do you have a video explaining these verses he used ?

My problem is I’m worried I’m not truly believing, it scares me because I know deep within that I’m believing in the Lord and have faith in only him and him alone for my salvation. It’s just how I’m feeling and in my heart I’m terrified that what if my faith that I believe I have isn’t real and that I’ll go to Hell when the time comes. 😞

You should do a video on oneness pentecostals. I have a friend that believes in the oneness doctrine and is always telling me i need to get rebaptized in Jesus name

The apostle Paul didn’t do to the Philippian jailer what Paul Washer did to that girl. “It didn’t do any good?” All he needed to do is give her the word on this. Romans 10:9 to 13. That would have settled it. Mr. Washer likes putting people into fear. This is not evangelism for the lost, this is bullying for the saved. Ever notice that when Mr. Washer talks about people deceiving themselves into believing they are saved that he never includes himself? If any can be deceived than he can too. It’s as if he thinks he has the magic key to salvation. It’s fear. With Jim Bakker the world is always coming to and end. You need his $2000.00 judgment of God survival package. Creflo Dollar once said that people are in hell because they didn’t tithes. (like to know how he knows that). But that’s putting people into fear to send him money. So if Mr. Washer can scare people into thinking they are not saved, then he has his platform, you have to come to him.

Paul Washer sounds like he is afraid and lacks any assurance. In the video somewhere he used the word "christian" then almost immediately changed it to say"true christian". A christian is one who believes in Christ Jesus and His finished work on the cross. We may be a "good" christian or a bad/carnal/immature christian. Adding the word true has always confounded me.

Woooow....I had no idea paul washer said that....

15:36 The young man is referring to these verses: John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father

Hey Jesse... you gotta find one of my favorite Paul Washer videos in which he says something to the effect of wanting God to save you so badly that you fear you're on the verge of death. Then he gives the example of holding a boy under water so he can't breathe then let's him catch his breath just a little and then pushes him under water again. He does this 3 or 4 times so the boy is terrified and Washer says that you have to want salvation that badly. It's one of the most pitiful displays of crap and heresy that I think I've ever heard.

In a way it's a gnostic gospel. They teach that you can't be saved by believing. You have to "know" God in a certain special way. In this case you have to "feel" a certain way but also he adds works to that as well. I notice in all his sermons he puts on this facade of despair. It's like he's trying to prove he's saved by showing how he feels. I don't know... that's just how it comes off to me. I don't hate Paul Washer or anything. I just think he is hurting a lot of people with his teaching.

Thank you, Pastor Jesse and Trent! I am thankful that sometimes P.W. gives the gospel, but saddened by the fact that most of the times he is driving people away from the truth.

Paul Washer is a drama queen

I would love to know where this girl is today and how her life is...

1Corinthians 15:1-4 THE GOSPEL by which you are saved

Anyone who directs us toward our own self righteousness is trusting in themselves and turning us away from Trusting in the Finished Work of JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS. Therefore believe in The Lord Jesus Christ for whom The Son sets free is Free Indeed.

I dont care that he spoke well on the second video, what he "cried out" to the crowd that he doesnt believe Just ANYONE can be saved. He said it himself.

@bibleline I explained in another post of yours how my husband Israel is struggling with attack bc of coming into Washer and Calvinism. He is Cuban and so doesn’t at all understand the history of the church - who Calvin is - etc etc so he is really in a vulnerable place of not knowing what he doesn’t know. He also only speaks Spanish right now so washer has a lot in Spanish! Can I ask ur organization and church to pray for us and do you have ANY biblical Spanish resources I can point my husband to? This is so utterly confusing for me but my husband has regressed to addictions and mental illness that he was freed from in his initial touch from Christ. For me Washer is so indicative of the enemy bc he uses his knowledge of the gospel to deceive and misguide. The devil knows the Bible more than any - no? The proof is in the fruit - the fruits of the enemy in genesis was punishment from god and a disconnection - am with washer My husband has become MORE DISCONNECTED FROM GOD since finding washer and others like him.

People call me a Calvinist. I don't know much about a Calvinist at all though. I heard Paul Washer is one. Paul Washer is so very unhappy. He seems to hate believers. I don't get how he helps people at all. People call me a Calvinist because I had no desire to be a Christian at all. When God saved me, I had as much to do with it as Saul did. I don't come from a Christian home or anything like that. What I'm trying to say is, God chose to save me, I did not seek after Him. I'm very glad I'm saved but It wasn't my idea at all. Does that make me a Calvinist?

In my room I sit and imagine hell opening up and swallowing all the Paul Washers of the world who deny the sacrifice of Christ for the sins of humanity.

I find it strange when people are against the Sinners' prayer because from my youth and upwards reading the word, Jesus the Messiah told the parable of the Publican and the Sinner- in which the Taz collector would not lift his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast and said to God, " I am a sinner, unworthy" or something of that nature, and was seeking the forgiveness of God in PRAYER- in his heart. And Jesus said that this man got to heaven before the Self-Rightoues Pharisee, who would say that he was thankful to God that he was not a sinner like this other man and all his tithing of mint, and cumin and 10% tithe was on point. And Jesus REJECTED that prayer- of that motivation! But Jesus REPRESENTED and accepted the Heartfelt need OF THE sinner TO FIND {grace} with GOD at the point of humility and total spiritual bankruptcy. So prayer is not a problem per se'. But Jesus also said that REBIRTH was needed to even see the kingdom of GOD and Peter and John also gave us more life to go on and this Calvinsist preachers and others do not teach rebirth of the spirit and indwelling of the Holy Spirit and its finality and perfect part of God's plan,

His fake emotionalism and self righteousness is so sickening. These kinds of people always believe they live up to God's expectations. That they accomplish what we fail to do. That they have saved themselves.

Here is one I commented on and got a response.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:6‭-‬12 KJV

Just to inform you correctly about Calvinism (I am a Calvinist), Washer's works-based teachings are the antithesis of Calvinism. So just because Washer says he's a Calvinist, this doesn't mean everything he says is Calvinistic. Works-based doctrines are actually Arminian, not Calvinist. So Washer is actually preaching as an Arminian in this clip.

I have never liked Paul washer but the weird thing is I watched a video the other day that was like 11 days old and it wasn't his video it was somebody that made a compilation of different preachers and the weird thing was that in this particular video Paul washer spoke the grace of God Just the exact same way you do... And I was confused lol because I've always heard him to be just like he is in your video here... So I was confused by that

When even reformed (calvinist) presbytarian people criticize a preacher for their position being too pietistic, you know you have to avoid him.

There's nothing wrong with the sinner's prayer and it is biblical. A sinner asking Christ for salvation is the same as the publican asking God for mercy, or the thief on the cross asking Christ to remember him, or the Samaritan woman asking for the living water. It is the acceptance of the free gift. If this woman had already asked for salvation then what she needed to be told is that she has already been saved. She was saved the first time she asked.

salvation comment -Jesus died and rose agian if you believe that he died and rose and were saved by grace through faith alone you will be saved. Once Saved Always saved no need to repent from your sins for salvation.

Sinner's prayer testimonies One man asked me if I remembered him? He said he had prayed to receive JESUS months ago and something happened. His life had changed. One young man said a Sinner's prayer when drunk, went to jail shortly after. In jail he thought about the prayer and had his mother bring him a Bible. He is now attending church with his daughter. One man was confused about his X Y chromosomes. He prayed and the confusion ended. Friends of one lady who prayed said: She has been so happy since you prayed with her. JESUS said As the FATHER sent ME, so I send you (to seek and save the lost) Rescue those heading towards destruction. John 1:12 As many as received JESUS, to them HE gave the POWER to be children of GOD. Ephesians 3:17 That CHRIST may dwell in your heart through Faith. If any Preacher says you can not lead people to CHRIST he is a cowardice producing pharasee.

I can only explain this by saying that Paul Washer is much older in this second video where he he speaking truth.. I can tell by the haircuts that the crazy talk with that girl was years earlier.. I am hoping that Paul Washer maybe has had a breakthrough in his doctrine since his pathetic council with that girl..

Paul Washer, and the rest of the guys that are in the same circle...are all dangerous. I heard him teach this sermon years ago. You should here some of his other ones, when he's speaking at a youth camp.

I believe it’s more than believing the facts about Jesus such as DBR.. the miracles He did was to get us to believe Him for what he promises, you must believe his promise to be born again, Which is (John 3:16,4:14,5:24,6:40,6:47,11:25-27,12:50) Just like Abraham believed in the Lord for the promise and it was accounted to him for righteousness, we too must believe in the Lord for the promise to be accredited righteousness. Romans 4:20-22 (NKJV) 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

Amen, I got angry at this video from Paul Washer. I also made a video on the same video from Paul Washer. If any saved Christians used the Simple Romans Road gospel, that girl would have gotten saved. He man is a calvinist, he wanted the girl to cry to make sure she is the Elect.

So Paul W says "believe" (a choice) yet preaches Calvinism. The cult of no choice. He should have told that poor girl to run home and never come back to listen to my flip flopping, and read your bible instead.

Hi Jesse, one thing you said really stood out to me. Paul washer said the phrase (true Christian). Your response was what does that mean? I’ve listened to him a lot through the years. I’m about 99% sure he means a born again believer.John3:3. In my opinion, we need to get away from this word (Christian). It’s too confusing to too many people. 80 to 90% of Americans claim the title of Christian. And most of those people really believe that they’re going to heaven. But most of them will spend eternity in hell. I heard a survey one time that said 7 to 8% of Americans claimed to be born again believers. If this is true or anywhere near true? relatively few people will be going to heaven.

If you apply the rationalistic logic of Calvinism you lose the objectivity of the 1) promise 2) work of Christ on the cross 3) intention of God to save ... YOU READING THIS. Instead everything starts to revolve around the doctrine of election where instead of faith receiving the grace and forgiveness offered for ME in the gospel everything starts to revolve around marks of the election which is genuine faith genuine conversion genuine life. Everything becomes subjective based on experience just like the Charismatic movement they like to critique because of that.

He might save you!!!! has Paul have any idea of the simple message of salvation? Anyone following Paul will never think they have been saved or if you know you are saved he will make you think you have lost it! It almost seems that he is trying to convinced himself he is doing enough works to be saved or stay saved.

Paul Washer said in a video "God does not love sinners". Which is INSANE. The Bible literally says God comendeth His LOVE toward us in that while we were yet SINNERS, Christ died for us. If he truly believes the Gospel, as he seems to, then He needs to ask The Lord for forgiveness for all the destruction he's caused and apologize profusely to the flock he has misled for so many years. In the spirit of Paul Washer: "Where is your repentance?" Wasn't it you who said that true faith is preceded and followed by repentance? As Jesus said: "And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:" There is a reason that Jesus told us not to judge. I hope he repents. :/ And I hope The Lord will help me to love and forgive him as I ought. Please bless Paul Lord. Have mercy on him.

Calvinists know the free grace gospel they just think its of Satan. The dont believe you can choose life or death by faith or rejection of Christ Jesus. The only feign a free grace gospel to deceive and recruit

PW’s voice makes me wince. It’s just a moaning and whining that makes me believe that he and Chan and Platt are related. Well…given they’re all lordship salvation cousins would explain it. Just devoid of hope in what they preach. So sad.

Are you telling us not to obey God???"If you love me keep my commandments." 🤔🤔🤔

Faith necessarily produces good works although they are not meritorious in any way

Yes I agree to trust in the finished work of Christ. But James tells us that if our faith doesn't have works, is a dead faith. Even Jesus tells to "deny yourself take up your cross and follow me...". I think This means true saving faith is obedient faith, also includes forsaking our sins???🤔🤔🤔

Im coming out of a Pentecostal church where they kept my spirit sleepy throughout endless and pointless activities. Paul Washer’ preachings have been freshwater to my spirit. So this is strange to me. Do you have the link to the whole preaching?

Amen YAH rebuke this paul washer I dont know if he is saved but that crying out to God is very bad

Yes Paul Washer is a dangerous man. For he shake your free willism comfort...and he destroys your works based salvation.

Washer always looks miserable and agitated. I think we know why.

Great video, BUT 7:34 Don't 'Amen' Washer on this. He's saying the right words, but does not believe it is available to 'whosoever', but rather only those chosen before the world was created and no one else. He's using a different dictionary and intentionally misleading people about it. He will still deny what you believe these words mean when examined. Washer doesn't even know if he's truly loved or just experiencing Evanescent Grace, just like many recent de-converts, even those in leadership, who now deny their previous confession of faith in Christ and have left the Calvinist movement. Interesting but very sad story. In June of 2001, during his message at a Ligonier’s Conference in Orlando, Fla., the late Dr. R. C. Sproul indicated that Dr. James Boice, a scheduled speaker at the conference, was dying that very night. Then at the end of the message he asked all 5,000 present to pray that Jim "dies in faith". Dr. Boyce was his friend, considered a great pastor, theologian, teacher, and author, yet Dr. Sproul was not sure that he was regenerate. Dr. Boyce did die that night. They all hoped he persevered ... but they cannot know if that was God's "gift" to him or not. No one can ever know on this side of the Grassy Knoll. The real irony lies in their 'prayer' that Dr. Boyce would truly be saved. According to "U"nconditional Election... God either loved him 'salvifically' or he hated him before he was born, just like their example of Esau. And literally nothing could ever be done to change his eternal decree. Besides, if God hated him, why would they run the risk of 'loving' him?... They just don't know, and are taught to believe they cannot know. But, most won't admit it, even to themselves. It is said that Dr. Sproul even wondered out loud near is own death if he had done 'enough'. Regardless of their claims to the contrary, Calvinists can have no real personal assurance of theirs, or anyone's, salvation. They're only whistling past the grave yard and hoping for the best, because they believe they're either 'picked' or they'll bust Hell wide open without a prayer.... literally. I have no doubt Sproul or Washer, et al, and other Calvinists confessing Christ are saved. But their own doctrine does not afford them this same confidence. That's why it's so evil. It can rob a true believer of any confidence they are truly loved by God.... Satan really likes doing that. Desperate for 'evidence' of salvation, they cling to their 'works' as pieces of a broken shipwreck at sea, it's all they have.

Religious experiences do not save ANYONE!! This poor deluded young women!!? The very word religion means and it is latin "to bind up".

What's tragic is the eternal distance of the diffetence of 12"-14" inches between a false converts head knowledge about Jesus Christ and a truly implanted new heart in the new birth gifted by Gods grace alone. Mans faith saves zero sinners. Only Christs faith saves, and that Faith is gifted to the elect sons of God at the moment of their regeneration. Many elect start out worshippers of their imaginary autonomous free will in their false conversion, so.. don't be too discouraged you false converts, just seek fruit you've been made a utterly new creature in Christ abd being MADE conformed more into His image. If you're still worshipping idols, coveting the world or the things of this world, lusting in your heart, be sure Christ is NOT in you.

You’re missing the context of that she had experienced 6 false conversions. That she had never really ever surrendered her heart. He had to make her realize how totally lost she was

Wishy Washer

Go is not the author of confusion.. meaning the authour of cinfusuon is satan. Hope he gets right with the lord otherwise he will be living a hot eternal life with calvin in HELL

i agreed with Paul Washer more than yours…

Paul Washer is a sheep in wolves clothing

Ok, I have to ask you seriously? You say you don't believe in a "sinner's prayer"? So how are you interpreting Romans 10:13 and other places where it says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." It gives clear instruction that "How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed." I can only interpret this as a synonym for confessing with the mouth of what you have already believed in the heart but doing so in prayer directly to God, not me or you. How can you call upon the Lord and not pray? Talking to God in any way, shape, or form is prayer EVEN IF it's in your head as I can prove from the Bible very clearly. I do not believe prayer is the deciding factor in salvation, but I personally called on the Lord. I was shown the clear gospel, unadulterated or confused, from Isaiah 53 one week before I got saved and was brought under the deep conviction that I was lost and needed salvation as well as the fact that Isaiah 53 was speaking of Jesus Christ who suffered and died for my sins. When I actually got saved, I went forward in a small, newly started Baptist church meeting in a grade school cafeteria. The same man took the Romans Road plan and showed me the main points and I affirmed I believed each point. He asked me if I wanted to pray and trust Christ as my Savior and by this time I was READY. He led me in a phrase-by-phrase prayer that affirmed the gospel. While I was praying that prayer I KNOW God forgave me and I was instantly born again. I had powerful assurance that I was on my way to heaven. I believed DURING that prayer. No questions about it. I went down on my knees lost and rose to my feet born again and believe me, I KNEW it. That was on April 3, 1977, and I remember like it was yesterday. Joel 2:32 "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered" is quoted in Acts 2:21 " And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." and again in Romans 10:13 " For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? " If this isn't a prayer for salvation AFTER hearing the gospel and already believing it in the heart I don't know what it is." I know that the deciding factor of salvation is faith in the gospel of grace message, but if a person has heard the message, and affirms that they believe it, I see no reason for them not to call on the Lord. Most of these people have never prayed a prayer in their entire lives as I hadn't before that day. I see no reason to cancel out a "sinner's prayer" as long as the gospel has been clearly presented. It is IMPOSSIBLE to guarantee that every person who says they believe in Christ will actually believe. Jesus didn't say that and neither should we. Would I have come to faith if I hadn't prayed? I honestly don't think so and I would be in hell awaiting the Great White Throne right now. I was sure well on my way there. If Luke 18:13 is not a sinner's prayer I don't know what is. " And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner." According to Jesus, this man went home justified while the self-righteous Pharisee who thanked God he wasn't as other men are did not. It was a simple heart-felt prayer that got the publican justified according to Jesus. bible.timelesstruths.org/Luke+18:9-14

All calvinist. You are conpletely wrong. You may as well believe that ONLY Jews or Israelites are saved while your at it.

The Calvinist teaching on the state of man after Adam's fall is that no man can or ever will seek God. The fact is that within Calvinism, she cannot 'cry out to God' as a reprobate. It's impossible. Obviously, they are in a Calvinist church environment or Washer would not be speaking. So, the girl and her father, with whom Washer confesses background knowledge, have already been fed false teaching of who, how, and why God saves. They are all working from a false premise from the beginning. Anyway, even if she thinks she's been saved, his 'work's-Lordship Salvation teaching will put her right back where she started. ... doubting her salvation and if God even loves her at all. She might just be experiencing Evanescent Grace. God forgive him he doesn't know what he's doing. But it reminds me of someone putting a millstone around a little one's neck.

As far as I can tell. Paul Washer is trying to get us to awake to righteousness and turn from sin. I'd rather take my chances listening to a preacher call me to repentance and get serious about following Jesus as Lord.

Romans 10 King James Version "1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." The above passage, particularly vv. 9 and 10, describes how one is saved.

You cause dissension amongst brethren. Repent

I loved Paul Washer but you now have me afraid to listen to him. Same w John MacArthur 😒 any true Christians I can listen to?

I don’t think his answer is different than what you point in the Bible as being correct. I imagine he refers to: the only way to trust in a savior, to think his salvation is worthy, is because you know the pain that is taking away from you. Only when you know you are cond3mned to h3ll, is when you realize how great is the salvation through Christ. Many don’t realize they’re cond3mned, thus they don’t act as if Jesus s4crific3 is really worthy.
