Romans 4:5; Romans 11:6; Galatians 5:16-17; Ephesians 4:30; 2 Timothy 2:13

If it's not by grace, nobody is going to heaven.

Free Grace is the true gospel and the purest form of Christianity. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved - period.

Free grace? Free grace??! The Lord gave his LIFE for us! He shed his precious blood!! How can he say free?? He paid a heavy price to redeem us.

According to Young Don: Noah, the drunkard, was not saved. David, the murderer and adulterer, is in hell. Samson, who committed suicide, is burning in eternal fire.

Can’t wait for the next parts

I honestly think that for many people, it's a matter of pride. They feel like they should have some say in whether they are saved or not. Not everyone, but many. For me, I used to know I was saved because I believed. In my mind I looked around at the world and I saw 2 kinds of people, those who believed and those who didn't. To me, that made sense. The very fact that I believed and had faith and was saved because of that made sense. I didn't even realize the bible says that as I was probably in my teens and didn't read much of the bible other than what I heard at church. But then, some years later, I heard a man on youtube say "it is not by faith alone. It takes more than faith to be saved." And suddenly, I was filled with anxiety and dread. I was deceived, and because I hadn't done much bible reading for myself, I was deceived quite easily. After some time, I found your channel and would listen. I thought "he sounds so convinced and convincing, but it just sounds too easy and I had always been told by that guy and many others that if it seems too easy, it's not biblical. That's how they trick you. I later discovered he was a calvinist, as were the others. Eventually I became so filled with anxiety and confusion that I broke. I finally gave up trying because I just realized that there was no possible way for me to talk God into saving me, let alone pleasing him enough to get saved. That's when it all made sense to me and became as clear as day. It has to be faith in christ alone because we do not deserve salvation. Nor can we earn it.

First time here. Great message. I'll definitely be back. 🙏✝️🔥❤️

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Jonah 3:9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

Such an eyes opening message.!! LOVE of Christ From Nepal ( country of mt. Everest)❤😊

If you fall short, pick up the bootstraps and change your mind. Our light in thus life will only shine brighter if we walk / abide in Jesus. 99.9 % of world religions require works. Its just very dufficult for man to accept that Jesys gave us a free gift. No one enters heaven unless he does the will of the father. That, as described by Jesus himself us to see the Son and BELIEVE on him whom the Father sent. What do we believe? 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 the Gospel! Another point: you cant have any assurance with works based logic. Abraham believed God, and it was RECKONED to him for richeousness positionally. When Abraham followed what God told him to do (Isaac), he was justified for all to see (James). This is bringing us on to perfection. Failing to abide in him and showing our christian faith (dead faithhaving respection of persons in this life) stunts our spiritual growth, can promote divine chastisement, and is useless to the world. If we let our light shine/ walk in the light (as he is in the light), the blood of Christ cleanses us of all sin. Discipleship is costly, salvation is free

He didn’t mention fornication; he must struggle with that one…. I’m halfway joking. I don’t know him. However, my experience with people like him is they don’t mention the things they struggle with and if they do, God extends them grace because they are special, it’s just not extended to others with their struggles.

Great video Pastor Jesse & BibleLine.

GOD BLESS YOU JESSE I LOVE UR CHANNEL!

Excellent refutation of Don's video. I also commented under his original video several weeks ago. I believe he is probably saved, but he is terribly confused and leading many others astray. Thanks always for your clear stand for the gospel of grace!

Amen thank you for sharing brother God bless you and your family the Lord's peace be with you Amen 🙏💓✝️🕊️

Thank you Pastor Jesse. You bring the truth out so clear! Blessed!

Another thing I noticed in this video is that Young Don is not going by the leading of the Holy Spirit unto Truth ( Scripture upon Scripture KJB) He is letting other people deceive him with their false teachings.... What did Timothy say? 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (KJV) "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

Commenting to bump this video! More people should see this!

Awesome teaching bibleLine

Amen, Happy Resurrection Day Pastor! ❤ God Bless You!

Good teaching!!!

Thank you so much, Brother. I was so filled with anxiety, depression, and fear to die because I thought I lost the Holy Spirit because I struggled with sin. You dont understand, brother. I think God lead me to hear the true gospel and I believe in the true gospel and I have changed because I have rested in the work Jesus Christ did on the cross, His death, His burial, and resurrection on the 3rd day. I was under the subtle bewitchery of works before and after works plus salvation false gospel. I was under bondage of the law and in fear. Thank you Brother. I am saved by grace through faith in Jesus complete work on the cross, burial, and His beautiful resurrection. It was not by my own works but his perfect blood that saved me from the penalty of sin. Thank you Brother. Your channel has helped me.

So clear, so concise, no confusion. Just let the scripture speak. Thanks as always pastor Jesse. I never get tired of the gospel message and I can’t hear it enough.

Hey brother (and all those in the background) I love the channel! A lot of the people you react to I also follow. It’s really incredible, the grace of God! It’s almost impossible for us small men to understand! But that’s the deal, free grace! I hope we can all do our best to honor God’s gift to us. Let’s fight against sin in our lives. Let’s do it out of gratitude and so we can bring others to Christ! Please continue to refute falsehood with grace and respect to our Christian brothers.

Amazing channel ❤

Grace is not liberty to sin, grace is the unmerited favor from the punishment of sin.

Excellent video teaching

Brother Jesse I greatly understand your offense when people say we, as " free gracers" ( I dont like titles), endorse sin, say its ok if you sin, go live the way you want because you cannot lose your salvation. Either they choose to ignore or do not see that many churches are doing their part in discipling believers . There are channels on KZfaq doing bible study . I am familiar with Don because of Corey and Smart Christians channel. He has flip flopped in his beliefs. THank you for sharing this and hopefully this will reach those who are confused about the truth. God bless you man.

Young Don is soo full of pride and arrogance. If "free Grace" (as if Grace isn't free in the first place), is a "lie from the Devil" and Salvation is by works, then what makes that man so sure that he's good enough to make it to Heaven? Just like the pharisee in the Temple, will he give an account of the things he does and doesn't do? Some people need humility more than their daily bread

God bless you brother Jesse 😊

He is lost. The narrow way is all on Jesus. He must Rightly divide positional salvation and present sanctificatiion. Relying on your own richeousness will not qualify unless you go your whole life and not sin. If u fail in one work of the law u fail in all. Our works post salvation are to honor the Lord based in love for what he did. Our works and potential rewards are useless if done for our own benefit

Amen Jesse!! 🙏🏼

Amen I went down a path of this thinking as well until my uncle directed me to Bibleline. God gets all the Glory amen!

Thank you pastor Jesse. May your channel continue to grow and bring clarity to how the Bible says we are saved. Thank you for exposing the whole "salvation by works" mentality that permeates biblical Christianity and is so dangerous. I am always astonished how the works salvationists are always quick to condemn carnal sins, but they completely ignore the white collar sins of self-righteousness and religious pride that they are guilty of themselves. They ignore the tension in the Bible between the self-righteous Jewish religious leaders that led to His brutal torture and murder and Jesus with His mission to save all those who simply believe in Him.

Any change in us is by the power of the Holy Spirit. Any change we attempt to do within our own fleshly desire is works of the flesh and not of the Spirit which dwells in us.

I totally believe that. Jesus said, Matthew 15:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” Every sin committed, past present and future was paid for through Jesus’ sacrifice on the alter of the cross. Even for the unsaved people, which is why all they have to do to is Romans 10:9-10” 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Jesus literally did it all. No religion required.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I THANK THEE, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. -Luke 18:11

I had never heard of young Don until Ono Diamante did a reaction to this very video a few a months ago. By the sounds of it he once believed the clear gospel, but it's sad that he has gone to believe and teach a works based gospel. We need to pray for him.

If believers couldn't commit sin then paul would not have needed to write to the corinthians about church discipline

I know this is a little old but thank you once again for truth

Amen 🙏 Bibleline ❤ U Ephesians 2:8-9

I never heard of this person, Don. But I know pastor Jesse and pastor Arnold with their teachings of scriptures.

This is not only sad but extremely frustrating. These people are leading others to hell. I emailed you guys a video, a young lady by the name of MiKayla Kooper. She has over 50,000 followers and doesn't know the first thing about being born again....

The demonic Chris Lasala is young Don's pastor.

Amen.

1 John 4 v 6 john 10 v 3 Thank you for your channel

I've yet to see Young Don exhibit any hint of joy. As a non believer I was protected from a few people like him. They'd flit into my life and offer freedom but I'd perceive something off and cultish about them. I would eventually be saved and retrospectively understand how God was looking after me. Those people had the same countenance as Don - robotic, miserable, pained. He needs the life of Christ.

20:42 blasphemy of the spirit Matt 12. Continuously living in sin so that the heavily sacrifice is no more Hebrews 10:26. I'm not a fan of Calvinists, but his point is not wrong.

Why anyone wants to follow a man's doctrine rather than God's word is beyond me.

What is most sad is that initially, Don who was so much different once preached salvation by grace through faith alone . He was quite humble, the very opposite of how he is now as one can see when he speaks. He entertained many different beliefs on his channel and after he had a so called Messianic Jew he very shortly afterwards began to change to a works based mindset to include going and getting physically circumcised when he himself told others of. If he ever once truly believed what he first preached he is saved but so very much bewitched by the Galatian spirit of self righteousness. His decline happened so fast and so hard it was sad to see.

Pastor Jesse! its so good to see your channel growing like it is. You bring a much needed breath of fresh air into the very muddy waters of KZfaq.

James 2:18 18 Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I by my works will show thee my faith.

So according to Young Don, the thief on the cross wasn’t truly saved. I guess when he begged Jesus to “Remember him” as he enters his Kingdom, Jesus lied to his face when he said “Amen I tell you, on this day you shall be with me in Paradise”. If there wasn’t a more glaring example that salvation is by pure faith in Christ, it’s the thief on the Cross. He had ZERO works to prove he was saved. Was mere moments from slipping away into oblivion, and he saw Jesus as his only chance. He took it by humbling himself and begging to be remembered. The thought of being allowed into heaven never crossed his mind because of how horribly distraught he was over his own sin. And what did Jesus do? He HONORED his faith by granting him eternal life, THEN and THERE!!! No works, no baptism, no fleshly evidence, just pure faith.

It's a shame that Young Don doesn't know what the bible teaches.... But as we grow closer to the rapture/tribulation/& the Lords coming....We are going to see more and more of a false gospel of faith plus works as a requirement of salvation which the bible doesn't teach. & by the way this rejects what Jesus did on the cross not only to save you from all your sins.... You are rejecting the Blood of Christ Jesus to be the only pure thing to purchase back humanity and Christ Jesus Righteousness the only pure Lamb of God who accomplished such a task.... read Romans 3:21-26.....

A *calvinist* approaching a person to preach *his* “gospel”: "Hi! I have good news for you! I don't know if God loves you, the most probable thing is that He hates you. I also don't know if He died for you in the cross, only a very few were chosen… But Listen!" Sad but true! This is the false gospel that is being preached in many churches. We need urgently to bring back the *powerful, simple* and *true gospel* summarized in *John 3:16.* If God says that he died for everyone, *it means that He died for everyone:* *Isaiah 53:6* ; *John 1:29* ; *John 3:16,17* ; *John 4:42* ; *2 Corinthians 5:14,15* ; *Romans 5:18* ; *1 Timothy 2:6* ; *1 Timothy 4:10,11* ; *1 John 2:2* ; *John 12:47* ; *1 John 4:14* ; *Hebrews 2:9* …etc Let's be very careful, let's not be found liars.

Sincere question, I was very tangled up in “works” based salvation for years. My eyes are being opened to free grace but was I not saved prior? I was literally made a new creation/person when I was saved. These aren’t changes I could have done myself. Thank you.

Another gvodeo🎉

I would love to hear your interpretation of James 2:17, from this video alone Don seems to be saying if you have been saved by faith in Christ, the regeneration that takes place will cause a change in your lifestyle that seeks to be righteous and if your life does not reflect that change he would question if you've truly had faith. Which I personally believe is biblical.

The opposite of Free grace theology is No free grace theology or works biased salvation theology. Thanks Jesse for your sharing. God bless.

Responding to the false teaching of Young Don Reborn, @BibleLine Pastor Jesse Martinez has clearly shown the Bible’s teaching on how a person receives eternal life only BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST and His finished work of shedding his blood on the cross, and NOT BY TRUSTING ONE’S OWN WORKS. In the New Testament book of Galatians, the Apostle Paul made it clear that adding works to faith for eternal justification and eternal life is a DIFFERENT “gospel” which is NOT really “good news” (the literal meaning of “gospel”). >>>“…a person is NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS of the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by FAITH in Christ and NOT BY THE WORKS of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. … I do not set aside the GRACE of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” -Galatians 2:15-16, 21 When the Galatians started following a false teacher who urged them to add works to their faith, the Apostle Paul condemned that teaching as a “different gospel, which is not another.”: >>>“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to A DIFFERENT GOSPEL, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to PERVERT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches ANY OTHER GOSPEL to you than what you have received, let him be ACCURSED.” -Galatians 1:6-9 Jesus Christ and His Apostles clearly taught in the Bible that eternal life is only available to those who BELIEVE in Him without adding their own deeds: >>>“Therefore they said to Him, ‘What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?’ Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you BELIEVE IN HIM whom He has sent.’” -John 6:28-29 >>>Jesus said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who BELIEVES IN ME has everlasting life..” - John 6:47 >>>“For we maintain that a man is justified by FAITH APART FROM WORKS of the Law.” -Romans 3:28 >>>“But we are all like an unclean thing, And ALL OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSES are like FILTHY RAGS; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.” -Isaiah 64:6 Contrary to Young Don Reborn’s false teaching, receiving eternal life does NOT require GOOD WORKS of following Jesus over time. Instead, Jesus taught that once a person BELIEVES IN HIM for eternal life, one has permanently passed from death into eternal life that can never be lost. >>>“…he who hears My word and BELIEVES IN HIM who sent Me HAS EVERLASTING LIFE, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” -John 5:24 The verb translated in English as“HAS PASSED” is μεταβεβηκεν which is in the perfect tense active indicative (third person singular-see biblehub.com/lexicon/john/5-24.htm). The perfect verb tense in NT Greek connotes a one time action with continuing results. “If you remember that the meaning of the word perfect is complete, then you can remember that the perfect tense has to do with completed action. But the perfect tense is a primary tense because it emphasizes the present, or ongoing result of a completed action.” The third person singular makes clear that the person believing in Jesus is the personal recipient of the one time action with continuing results. Thus Jesus is making clear that the person who “believes in Him” as a one time action is the recipient of the continuing result of having “passed from death into life.” In fact, as Pastor Jesse Martinez correctly points out, the Bible clearly teaches that ADDING your own payment of good works to Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for us is actually rejecting God’s offer of the FREE GIFT of forgiveness and eternal life. What you pay for is not really a gift. We must trust ONLY in Jesus Christ’s perfect sacrifice for us. >>>“For if Abraham was justified by WORKS, he has something to BOAST about, but not before God. For what does Scripture say? ‘Abraham BELIEVED GOD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.’ Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, but BELIEVES IN HIM who justifies the ungodly, his FAITH is credited as righteousness, just as David speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness APART FROM WORKS.” -Romans 4:2-6 >>>“But if it is by GRACE, it is no longer on the basis of WORKS, otherwise grace is no longer grace.” -Romans 11:6 Eternal life is a FREE GIFT received only by grace through belief in Jesus Christ: >>>Jesus Christ said, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES IN HIM shall not perish, but have ETERNAL LIFE.” -John 3:16 >>>Jesus Christ “… was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.” -Romans 4:25 >>>“For the wages of sin is death, but the FREE GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -Romans 6:23 >>>“For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH, and that not of yourselves; it is the GIFT of God, NOT AS A RESULT OF WORKS, so that no one may boast.” -Ephesians 2:8-9 The Bible warns us to be alert to FALSE TEACHERS: >>>“I know that after my departure SAVAGE WOLVES WILL COME in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore BE ON THE ALERT, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.”-Acts 20:29-31 >>>“But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and DOCTRINES OF DEMONS, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron” -1 Timothy 4:1-2 >>>“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be FALSE TEACHERS among you, who will secretly introduce DESTRUCTIVE HERESIES, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.” -2 Peter 2:1 >>>“BEWARE OF THE FALSE PROPHETS, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” -Matthew 7:15 The Bible makes it clear that we are to AVOID, NOT GREET, and HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP with teachers of a false gospel which is one type of false doctrine. >>>“Now I urge you, brethren, note THOSE WHO CAUSE DIVISIONS and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and AVOID THEM. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.” -Romans 16:17-18 >>>“Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, DO NOT RECEIVE HIM into your house NOR GREET HIM; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.” -2 John 9-11 >>>“And HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” -Ephesians 5:11 This BibleLine video is soundly Biblical and very needed today to correct pervasive false teaching with Scripture itself! If you have never placed your faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross ALONE, without trusting your own works, I encourage you to do so today! Grace and Peace through our Lord Jesus Christ, Bible Professor Al, Ph.D., Th.D.

Excellent video pastor. Grace or works either or. Never a mixture with salvation. I’m excited to see the rest of the parts. (Side note: it’s really a shame seeing young don fall so far, I believe he is saved because you can find a deleted free grace gospel video that is absolutely amazing and correct. you can find it under the channel “extra truth” It is a shame though, he is under pastor Chris Lasala which is a deliverance “pastor”.)

Feel so very sorry for people like this...Thank God it sounds like at one time he believed...correctly so he may be saved...but now Satan has confused him, and he is mixing grace and works and what's worse he is preaching it to others, and he has put himself under Gods curse... GAL 1:8-9 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. 9 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. People like Don who teach this way always fail to see that even one tiny lie will not enter the gates of heaven. Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. They also seem to selectively forget. 1st John “IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NO SIN, WE DECIEVE OURSELVES, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US.” (notice one of the greatest Apostles of all time included himself in having sin in his life) Solution to the above two passages... 2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. The only righteousness that will be accepted for entry into heaven is the perfect righteousness of Christ and it is given to us at the moment of belief. Blessings to Pastor Jesse, family & Everyone @ Calvary Community Church of Tampa on this blessed resurrection weekend Rob

What does James 2:17 mean?

Take note that don lists of the most socially despised sins... Don and many like him never list inward sins that they/everyone commits non-stop... like the biggest sin of not Loving and Worshipping GOD 24/7... that is what these 2 verses say we all must do... Matthew 22:37 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ALL thy heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with ALL thy mind.” Exodus 20:3 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” NO OTHER gods before HIM not even for a second... Which is detailed by JESUS in Matthew 22:37.

What Bible translation do you use?

Pastor Jesse, thank you for rightly dividing the word of God.

As a an OSAS believer, and new subscriber; I am so far enjoying your videos. I am in complete agreement with faith alone, without works salvation. However at around 24 minutes I had a mild "uh oh" moment. Young Don said that when you get saved you do not go on living as you did before you received the Holy Spirit...I am paraphrasing. That free grace folks believe it doesn't matter. Now I know where you are coming from. faith alone saves. But genuine faith results in a changed life. Good works do not "keep" you saved, but are evidence that your faith is real. If I see a new convert who has no interest at all in following the Lord in baptism, little interest in opening a Bible or attending church....I will question whether the faith of that "believer" is genuine. Having said that...God is their judge, not me. It then becomes a question of how much "works" and for how long? I like the illustration of a row of planted fruit seeds. Each sprouts and grows individually, some fast and healthy, bearing much fruit....others barely breaking the surface stunted and withering. But the SEED (Christ) is the same for all. Moments after I accepted Christ as my Savior I KNEW I needed to be baptized. I didn't even know why. I also knew I should begin attending services..in fact I wanted to do both, and to learn scripture. These are changes that come from the inside, through the Spirit. May the Lord bless you and your ministry...

The power of the resurrection is evidence that God/Jesus Christ is who he says he is. Jesus Christ is risen indeed! Jesus Christ is the King of Glory! The only name by which a man can be saved. Glory to his name forever and forever. Nothing but the blood of Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

The very last thing I want is justice. No one can keep the law of God. I want grace. If God offers total forgiveness by the grace of God through the WORKS of Jesus Christ, I joyfully take by faith that GIFT of complete reconciliation back unto the Father. If I live by the law, then I will be judged by the law and that won't be good at all for me.

As Christians we are called to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord. In the book of Hebrews Chapter 12:15 it talks about the possibility of a person failing the grace of God . That's in the KJV version. In the Geneva Bible it says fall away instead of fail the grace of God. Hebrews 5:9 talks about Jesus saves those who obey him. After a person is in Christ they can be taken out if they do not bear fruit. John Chapter 15 makes this very clear.

Messing up and committing a sin isn't the same as living in sin. If someone has truly been born again they will change, that doesn't mean that they'll never make mistakes, but they aren't living a wicked lifestyle, they've been given a new nature.

Does a person only need to know the name Jesus to be saved? Or do they also need to understand his deth barrel and resurrection?

❤

Remember the parable of the Virgins? Proverbs 6:23 - For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: Luke 17:9-10 - Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

Is gods chastening always severe like you losing a job or is it more like understanding you did wrong and wanting to fix it if that makes sense?

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

well, in his defense, I also think that some additional clarity needs to be had beyond "believe in Jesus", cause doesnt Satan also believe in him? Which is why he tries so hard to push us away

People like young Don and his theology are being promoted hard by KZfaq.

Can I listen to someone who preaches the gospel wrong, but talks about other topics that interests me? Thanks.

I understand we have a new nature in Christ . But the old self died and we are the new self. The Flesh is our old way of thinking, worldly attitudes and actions. I believe the video was saying we have 2 natures but that would be impossible. I hope that makes sense. I sent over a couple of videos to help explain.

Good message! By young don's standard of "fruit-inspection" Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses are believers. I feel so bad for Christians who are trapped in a system which "adds" work to the mix for salvation. After 40 years ministering in the body of Christ and discipling Christians I have never once seen any of them think that any of the things young don has enumerated are things that are beneficial and okay for them to engage in. The problem with what people think about "free grace" is that they fail to see the remainder of the teaching. Discipleship is necessary and if any Christian believes that he can sin with abandonment without bringing upon Himself the discipline of the Lord, he is sadly mistaken. Also, if there ever was a church that was in danger of losing their salvation it was the Corinthian church. Never once does Paul tell them their in danger of losing their salvation. He calls them saints and beloved, but yet some of them were still carnal walking in their flesh. He also shows us the discipline of the Lord coming upon some of them with weakness, sickness and death because of their sinful actions surrounding the Lord's supper. Jesus doesn't tell us to "try" not to sin. Jesus tells us to remain intimately connected to Him...to abide in Him. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is exactly the fruit of the Holy Spirit. We run into problems when we try in our flesh to produce His fruit which He works out in our lives. When we "try" to live the Christian life in our "flesh" we are doomed to failure because if it could be done by us then the Spirit of God wouldn't need to do it. Our job is to walk in the Spirit...to be led by the Spirit and our new man can do that. Sadly to me, lordship salvation teaches people to do the work of God in the sinful flesh. God isn't impressed with fake fruit.

He needs to get into a bible study class 101.

There are believers and non-believers. ”If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭13‬

‭Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ  - the righteousness from God based on faith. In Christ alone our hope is found. Only through Him we have peace with GOD and made in right standing. The Christian life is dependency on Christ.

Young Don is himself a son of disobedience if he didn't put his faith on Jesus *_alone_* for his salvation. If he thinks his (self) "righteousness" is more than filthy rags, he is severely confused, which is not from God but from the pul-pit of hell. Young Don's preaching is a corrupt tree producing corrupted fruit, _100%._

Jesse, When it comes to my understanding of the conflict between lordship salvation and free grace theology it is not about your performance contributing to you getting and staying saved but rather it is about whether or not your faith at the moment of salvation qualified as a genuine salvation producing faith. It is not faith plus repentance from sin that saves. The question that needs to be dealt with is can a faith that does not produce repentance of sin qualify as a genuine salvation producing faith? If at conversion the quality of your faith is such that you believe in what Jesus did and you want to receive Jesus and remain just as sinful as ever with no intentions or desire to turn from your sins then does your faith actually qualify as genuine salvation producing faith? Genuine faith produces certain things that do not contribute to you getting or staying saved. If that faith is not the kind of faith that produces those things that do not contribute to your getting or staying saved then is that faith a genuine saving faith? What genuine faith produces in your life simply testifies to whether or not your faith is genuine or not. Bear in mind that both the advocates of free grace theology and lordship salvation teach the eternal security doctrine and that you cannot earn salvation either at the moment of receiving salvation or from that moment onward. Now I have never heard of the speaker that you feature and do not know if he truly has the qualifications needed to accurately articulate his own theology. The advocates of lordship salvation that I have heard affirm that our performance does not contribute to our getting and staying saved.

Kingdom of Heaven is here on earth for those who love and obey God. You really don't want to sin so you can be in heaven on earth.

Your new man cannot sin at all. Does God join himself to sin? 1Co 6:17 KJV - But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Corinthians 6:9-11 New King James Version 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]homosexuals, nor [b]sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were [c]sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. Grace is not a credit card for sin. Be warned.

Can you be saved , still live a life of sin and still inherit the kingdom of God? Yes or No ?

I am praying for you…. I’m so confused by yet another of your ‘segments’ I watched one of your things a few days ago where you said we ‘hurt the Lord when we try and live according to the old law’ which in my Bible includes the 10 commandments. But you just said that you tell Christians “NOT TO SIN ANYMORE “. So what I hear you say is that when God tells us not to sin we should not worry about it but when YOU tell us not to sin we need to heed your words? And just one more thing I just heard you say is that you don’t make mistakes? Hmmph. Please explain James 2:14- 26! Why do you want this young man, whomever btw I have never heard of, to move away from the truth? What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

We are saved by believing the gospel. 2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?

We are saved by both FAITH & WORKS. The bible does NOT say we are saved by faith “ALONE”. Faith alone would be the same as saying “I believe”. It’s not from the heart unless you believe and repent. The book of James says faith without works is a dead faith and even the demons believe. To have faith is to be faithful to God. To obey. He isn’t just our savior, he’s our LORD and savior. To love God with your whole heart is to submit yourself to his authority, offer yourself completely and repent when you fall short. Do not despair - His grace is freely given to anyone who repents and asks for forgiveness. The meek will inherit the kingdom of God! Let him work in you, sanctify you, and draw you closer to him. Put your trust in Him, not in your faith.

You both have clear scriptures on your side. I think you are both confusing justification with sanctification. If you could sort that out, you might find that your positions are not so far apart after all. On the pastoral side, if someone is worried about their eternal future, the obvious response is: "The fact that you are not content to be trapped in a sinful habit, but want to be free, is evidence of the Holy Spirit's work in you. People who aren't in Christ are quite satisfied to keep on sinning." So many verses come to mind, here's one: Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. James 2:18 And by the way, studying church history doesn't always lead to Calvinism. Try studying the early church fathers pre-Augustine.

calvinistic lordship

You literally said yourself grace isn't free by 6:27. There's requirements to be forgiven. NOW I'm skeptical if you ever reached out for live conversation first.

I want to believe that all we have to do is Believe, but the Word also says, FEW be that find it,, salvation, so for all the people who say they believe in Jesus, being the son of God, is saved, That is Not few.

"Hyper grace", and "Free grace" are false (borderline dishonest) names given to serve as a strawman, built up by people who severely underestimate how sufficient grace is. There is no hyper grace, there is no free grace. There is only grace. I cannot think of a worthwhile teacher that teaches grace as a license to sin, and Paul explicitly says "God forbid" to the idea. Believing that grace is a license to sin is either straight from the mouth of unbelievers, or Christian universalists (many of whom are almost certainly unbelievers). Faith in anything less than the grace described in scripture is faith in yourself, and your works. It's literally only by the grace of God that we even are compelled to do good works, and hate sin. That compulsion you feel to resist sin, and the conviction you feel to not sin again after giving in? That's the Holy Spirit. Don't take credit for the Holy Spirit's work in you. (speaking to opponents of the doctrine of grace)
