If their is no mercy and love the faith is fake. Met too many who say they can hate and abuse people and are saved by faith alone. They end up dying full of demons. Seen it with my own eyes too many times. The cross is the way. To say the cross is not the way…….false teaching. Now we must learn what the cross is. What it is to die to self. Repent. Etc. Faith is never alone. Never. Every teaching in the Bible has a Trinity in it. Faith -> Trust -> rest Repent -> believe -> receive. This whole “alone” teaching is from Hell. Why add what’s not in Gods word? Christ died alone. He alone paid. He is our high priest. He is all and in all. Yes. But faith is never alone. Grace is never alone. Truth is never alone. Charity is never alone. “Unless a seed falls to the ground and dies it abides alone” Read the verily verilies. They are truth.

Amen! We love Him BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US! Such a different motivation. One is a grateful service out of love for our merciful Savior. The other is a grasping of works to retain or prove salvation. One is a reliance on Christ, the other is a post Christ self-reliance. One is: love God, love each other, share Jesus because the gospel is good news! The other is: love God, love each other, share Jesus because if you don't, you are not saved. PRAISE JESUS EVERY DAAAAAY!

@@Rileyed I’m not sure if any of us listen or read any more on social media. If no cross is what you took from my post then it’s pointless. We all seemed wired just to set each other straight. We are saved then we pick up the cross. If we don’t we won’t lose the family if God but there will be a cost we won’t want to pay. Why is it all or nothing? It seems even the most staunch believer thst thinks we can be cast into hell after we receive salvation should be saying to those that don’t “I hope your right”. But it’s a sad state of the church.

@@Rileyed I believe in surrendering so I don’t appreciate the accusation which seems to be every where. If you think you are perfect I’m not going to convince you because everyone else not with you will fall short of your judgements. So peace and out

@@Rileyedrelax brother I’m not doing as you write Reader either we are permitted to come as we are, sin and all, or we must first stop sinning and cleanse ourself by surrendering then we can come. I know there are many people that love the Lord that are gentle (And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.) that believe that we have to press on or we will go to hell. I respect them for warning us. Some are my close brothers and sisters. The Holy Bible tells us to believe in Christ first and then we are forever in the family of God. Then we are admonished and encouraged to walk in the Spirit (taking up our cross) in both surrender and brotherly love. The gait keepers and fruit inspectors on social media will twist our observations and that will not end but I submit that the only requirement to be saved is a mustard seed of belief in Christ. However to the Calvinists damned if you do damned if you don’t

Agree. Sadly, this is also a dangerous neo-Calvinism, a slippery slope back to Rome!

Amen

God doesn’t force us. We must be willing. We have to come to Him for life. Those are the conditions. And the law is mercy and truth….faith and love. We can’t do it without Him and he won’t do it without us. We are co labourers with Christ. We must yield daily. To take obedience out of salvation is the most satanic thing anybody can do. Same thing Satan told Eve. But maybe not at bad at what Calvinisms does to the soul. But both sides are not on the narrow path of righteousness by faith. Jesus declares this righteousness and showed us. For us to say “that’s works” to mercy and love. Is not the gospel. It’s the works of God. Not of flesh “If you by the spirit put to death the deeds of the flesh you shall live” Ignore Gods word at our own peril. Cute doctrines don’t lead to godliness. Only pure truth

@@LookinUp_ and do what he says…..don’t skip the second half. Why do that? God said to Obey Jesus. And Jesus gave us the commands. Forgive and love and be honest with all men with no respect of persons. The perfect law of Liberty. This is how we walk in victory!!! “Be ye not deceived only doers of the word are justified before God”…… This is the righteousness that is by faith. The kingdom laws. But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

@@Rileyed If we have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, then we have obeyed Him. Christ gives us new hearts, obedient hearts.

@@RobertLassche to believe on the Lord is continuous life = I am means “the ever present one” = to humble self = to deny self/cease from dead works = “I can do nothing and have nothing, work thou in me” Then we get the daily bread; blood and flesh. Etc. Why he says now is the time; today is the day. Bc God lives in the eternity of the present moment. He is always here now. Overcoming = abiding/resting in Christ. Grace = God does for me;in me;through me. Grace is stronger than SIN. Love is stronger than SIN. “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned……If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. His commandments are mercy and truth from heart and to love and forgive all men and God. “Mercy and truth uphold the throne of Grace” Read what happens to people who claim Christ and don’t give mercy and truth. The hypocrites. Not good

We give the biblical answer in the video. You are saved the moment you believe in Jesus Christ who died to pay for all of your sin, was buried and rose again. - Trent

Thank you brther Trent. God bless you.

The standard is God, love like God, act like God, think like God. They basically have 0% chance of entering the narrow gate by the way they "strive" to enter it.

Lol

Rest in the finished work of Christ. He only makes us pure. He is spotless, not me. He is our merit. Can I pull myself up by my bootstraps to enter into a perfect heaven, reserved for one with no spot or blemish?? 1 John 3:2-3 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this HOPE in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. So we can see that Obedience in this flesh in no way makes us entirely pure like Christ until he makes us so when we see him. But it does brings honor and profit to God by being a light for the lost right now. Why would we as the redeemed want to get entangled in sin now that we're justified and free to live in righteousness? That's the true question and exhortation. I run for the crown and prize! But my salvation was a free gift, I cannot boast.

@@jameswilson9361 “When sin came it destroyed the love. Love vanished from the world. There may have been examples of love, but only as a remnant of what had been lost. The worst thing sin ever did was that it made men selfish and selfishness cannot love. Selfishness can lead me to love someone who pleases me or makes me happy. But that is not real love. The true unselfish love that loves the unworthy or unlovable sin destroyed. To bring this love back to us Jesus came. He came as the manifestation of divine love. “Having loved his own; he loved them to the end.” The world is to know Christ from our love for one another. The mark of a believer is he is to be a man of love. “Fill me with love” Jesus came to fill us with the divine love. True love cannot be conquered by hatred or anything in heaven or earth. The more hatred the more love triumphs. Love is humility. Love says,”I only live to be a blessing to others” love cannot be selfish. Love gives itself to its object. Christ main teaching was to let us see human nature and how incapable it is of divine love without the Holy Spirit in our hearts.

@@jameswilson9361 it’s just if we are sincere. We don’t overcome all of our sins after being born again. Just like the Isrealites. They were saved, but not ready to enter into the promised land. John 1 and other places says we become young men in Christ when we finally overcome Satan. Takes years of learning to discern Gods will from Satans deceptions/the flesh. After we overcome we can now reproduce. We went from lambs to sheep. Then as old men we can be shepards…..leading the sheep. But most of us are elected as sheep. The false teaching that we are perfect on day one in experience only causes people to hide their sins or get caught under self effort/the law and thinking we are never saved until we are perfect. Which keeps us from moving forward sadly. When we rest he works…..when we work he stops working until we learn. It’s opposite of what our carnal mind things as right. We think if we strive harder we will do better. God says if we depend more on Him we will overcome sin/self. Independence -> dependance(tree of life) is the only way. And takes us decades often to learn this lesson

Jesus also makes it clear that if our eyes causes us to sin, we must gouge it out, what's your point?

@@arthurlesiv4969 simply that only those that love God through obedience will make it to heaven. Hebrews 5:9, John 15. He that does what Jesus commands make it to heaven, not those who stay in sin.

@@arthurlesiv4969 Hebrews 5:9 Jesus saves those that obey him. John 15 talks about staying in Jesus love by keeping his commandments.

The proof you are saved is the fact that Jesus died and paid for all of your sin, was buried and is resurrected. If you believed, then you are saved. - Trent

Yeah you can't look at chastening because any person can take a bad thing in there life that's going on say see I'm getting chastised an that's just not the case every person in life everyday is going threw something believers an unbelievers

We all sin. If you are a son of God and have believed the Gospel of grace then God is your heavenly Father and He, in His love, disciplines and teaches you to live a holy, set apart life that you'd follow Jesus instead of your own fleshly desires. If a son of God, a believer in Christ, does not repent of a given sin and hardens himself then he may die at the end of that fleshly path but he never loses his salvation. Hence salvation and discipleship are not the same.

@@NikoFinn Thanks for your response. I can agree with your 1st sentence, but would take exception with the 2nd. How can an unrepentant person be a son of God, a believer in Christ? Who do you think Jesus Himself was addressing in Mt 7:22-23? What about 1Cor6:9-10? What was John the Baptists message and can we just ignore it?

According to the bible...yes it does. The gospel is offensive to many self righteous people.

@@bobbaker5199 If I may add...Matt 7:21 says only those that do the will of the father will enter into the kingdom. The will of the father is stated in John 6:40...to believe unto Jesus for salvation. Those who Jesus said He never knew, called him Lord and did lots of works, but never trusted Him COMPLETELY.

If they sin without internal suffering and discipline in life…..they aren’t born of the spirit yet. Mercy and truth is the law. If we lie and don’t forgive. We can’t love and don’t know God.

I believe that you don't have to actually go to a building for church. Most of the churches that I have been to want you to donate to their building fund and other various funds for the church. You could have fellowship with fellow believers anywhere such as someone's home. Sometimes you can have fellowship online and listen to pastors like Jesse Martinez on this channel. The description has other options that teach being justified freely by God's grace.

That's what I did...until I find one that preaches the correct gospel. I still fellowship with others, and serve with others, just no service or bible studies with others. 99% don't read scriptures the way I see them.

That's a hard one. I'm there too buddy. I mainly have the choice of churches that preach make Jesus lord of your life to be saved or the ones that preach nothing matters so roll on the ground lol. I found some small Baptist churches are very similar to Calvary with Jesse, but no church is going to be perfect. Just got to look around or start a biblestudy with a friend and maybe it'll grow. I'd start one with you if I lived nearby, I am trying to start one right now in my hometown!

There are no perfect churches as there are no perfect people. Know what you believe and be a vessel for God to use wherever you go, whether to church, to work, or to the grocery store. Works are not the cause or method of salvation, works are the evidence of salvation. You can read the book of James for this teaching and know that it in no way contradicts that salvation is through faith in Christ.

I had to apology to my Christian neighbor after badgering him that there is no perfect church and the “one more hypocrite won’t hurt jokes”, oh and don’t forsake the assembly. One day I was an elder, teacher, and “worship musician” that had spent 25 years giving and the next day I was not going to church on any regular basis. It all started with realizing how much of a controlling one man show (pastor) the church is compared to an organic body. It’s a lecture generally riddled with preferences, widespread errors, and accusations at times with a few people that go up and sing or pray. Prayer 🙏 is always good but how do we fellowship during a lecture? I go once or twice a month, especially if it’s a home church, I’ve tried starting a lake fellowship. Bottom line is I struggle especially with all those that can’t see the problem and insist if you don’t go to church you are disobedient.

If there is process of salvation that means you have to be doing something to require it means you are working to get it

No there is no process of salvation, you are saved the moment you first believed Ephesians 1:13 sealed with the Holy Spirit. Sanctification is a process, it is your Day to Day walk with the Lord. Glorification is at the rapture/resurrection. You cannot take a test for this you either rest in Christ finished work or you do not.
