@Michael Lane Amen thx for that encouragement my brother

@Michael Lane Amen bro Ask the Father and believe without doubt, that's the word

Dujuan Jones you need to completely submit your life to Christ. You no longer live for yourself but for Christ. Also, a ton of praying and reading. You’ll get their brother. It’s also my goal to grow in wisdom and love for our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise to his Holy name!

@@born2win259 Amen

The SPIRIT that is in him, is the same SPIRIT that is in you. The difference is the measure of faith.

Very true! Many times, we get busy trying to think of "intelligent" ways to preach the Gospel. When we begin to focus on methods, rather than the Message itself, we're taking our focus off the Gospel's power unto salvation and focusing on ourselves. Really enlightening video.

I make the same mistake . . . Repeatedly.

well said

@robert punu that's funny, I've heard ray say not by works unless any man should boast.

@robert punu faith without works is dead.

@robert punu good works accompany faith... it's a byproduct of our faith and of our new nature...

@robert punu " there's none righteous, not one. All our good deeds are as filthy rags." I've know this for a long time... but Idk... I've never heard Paul or ray say stuff that made them sound like they were saying you earned your way to heaven. Ray has said anything we offer God isnt good enough and that it would be like trying to bribe the judge.

@@jesus-is-rad9684yes but works don’t earn the salvation. But when you are saved you will want to do good works because of your new nature.

Kim JuSung thanks

Thank you

Your step 8 is works based if you are preaching "turn from your sin". Wow, 9 steps to the Gospel. Thank God Paul fromTarsus is preaching the correct gospel.

@@timbetteridge6078 Oh, my friend, are you accusing Jesus for preaching work-based gospel? Because Jesus said, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel(Mark1:15)."

@@juiciboi_97 "repent" is change of mind. Jesus Ministry was to believe in the Messiah to be saved. Today it's Paul's Gospel. Change your mind in what you believe in and trust Jesus only for what he did on the cross, his burial and Resurrection.

No it's not

Christ be with you you have not preached the Gospel until you say who will reap its reward of eternal life. Do not be deceived; *God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.* For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; *but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.* *And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.* (Gal 6:7-9) There are those who do not tell you the necessity to repent and obey the teachings of Christ to receive eternal life. Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son. If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting; for he who greets him shares his wicked work. (2 John 9-11) we have not believed anything unless we believe what Christ taught. God bless you

You are deceived. This is not the gospel

@@john146muaythai What is then?

You are deceived. The true gospel is the good news of the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, it is concerning who Christ is and what He did to save sinners. The gospel includes the how and why, which can only be seen by faith. It is a message that declares how the eternal Son of God came down, took on a body of sinless flesh (John 1:14) as He was born of a virgin (Mat 1:23). He was both God and man in one Person. He was born under the Law to keep and fulfill it (Mat 5:18, Gal 4:4). He did that, not for Himself, but for all those He represented because they could not keep it themselves. The word of God calls these people the elect or His sheep, among several other names. His obedient life also included the part of dying. He took on the sin of His people as both a Substitute and Representative of those people. The Bible said He was "made to be sin" (II Cor 5:21) and the way that was done is by God imputing (legally reckoned or charged to the account of) sin to Christ. That means all the sin of all those people God chose was "laid on Him" (Isaiah 53:6). This sin was legally transferred to His account and He then owned it in such a way to be guilty of it all. God the Father poured out His wrath and hatred toward sin on His Son and had pleasure (Isaiah 53:10) in doing so, in that, He was completely satisfied in Christ as a Sacrifice that met all the demands of His strict Law and inflexible justice. Christ finished the work of paying the penalty of the Law and then said " It is finished" (John 19:30). He secured salvation for all God’s chosen people that would even be born. His resurrection is evidence of the acceptance of His sacrifice to the Father. The combined work of His obedience to the Law and His obedience unto death on the cross was considered establishing righteousness. This is what one of the Old Testament prophets prophesied as "bringing in an everlasting righteousness" (Daniel 9:24) as Christ died effectually and exclusively for those chosen of God before the world began (Eph 1:4). This righteousness is what God imputes to His people in the context of giving the life to believe in Christ. This puts them in a state called "Justification" and as a result they are eternally secure, in Christ. This is the gospel (Rom 1:16-17). All this takes place in such a way to show God as both a God of justice and a Savior. This is how grace reigns through righteousness (Rom 5:21).

@robert punu I believe Paul Washer is preaching once you understand the Gospel that you live to serve the Lord as the Word of God says. And He died for all, so those who live shall no longer live for themselves but for the One who died and was raised again 2 Corinthians 5 15. Colossians 3 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. 5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you:sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in. God says we are to put off the old self and put on the new self because we have been justified and forgiven by God. We live holy not to attain salvation!! But because we have salvation and have been justified through the death of Jesus on the cross, burial and resurrection. Our lives are no longer for us but for Jesus because our lives are hidden in Him. Bless you

That part is POWERFUL!....Amen!

@robert punu Your belief is false. It is a salvation issue. If your testimony of Christ does not line up with God the Father's testimony..you believe a false gospel . Read whole book of John or any other gospel account.

ss la77 so wild you mention Ryrie I was just reading last night in his book “so great salvation” about repentance and yes this explanation in the video of repentance was insufficient based on what Ryrie presents in that book. Repentance that leads to salvation is to change your thinking from your belief in Jesus as God and Savior of sin. Love how Ryrie simply explains it

Next thing you'll be telling us that the apostle Paul repented or believed of his own free will hahaha silly Jesus going to all the trouble of blinding him and knocking him off his horse. The gospel Paul preached is defined only once in scripture,; namely that Christ died, was buried and rose again 1Corinthians 15:3,4 that's the gospel, full stop. One verse earlier he told the Corinth church they ARE saved by this gospel he preached to them. A few chapters later Paul corrects them for a list of sins common to most. Scripture declares all are saved by grace (undeserved kindness) alone : through is the word that precedes faith; not by. Jesus is the author and finisher of everyone's faith. "do not think more highly of yourself than you ought, rather judge yourself soberly according to the measure of faith GIVEN unto you" " a man can receive nothing lest it is GIVEN to him from heaven" (if you don't know the verses google them). Christ came and was sent to save everyone (sinners); that was his mission. Jesus is God John 1:1 ,"God is Love", and "love NEVER fails" . Stop! teaching that Jesus failed and therefore is a liar. Jesus's last words on the cross " it is finished"; what was?, his mission of course. Now you might get tempted to tell me about "hell" or unending punishment etc: "when God's judgements are in the land men learn righteousness"; judge us Lord I say; further if you do some study you will find the word hell does not appear even once in the original Hebrew or Greek testaments, rather only in mistranslations of scripture. Stop calling God a liar " no one is cast off by the Lord forever, though he brings grief he WILL have compassion because of the greatness of his unfailing love" " As in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive" "mercy triumphs justice" "God is able to subdue all things to himself" "nothing is too hard for the Lord" "it is the will of God that all men be saved and change their mind and come to a knowledge of Jesus" "God will accomplish all that he wills" REPENT change your mind all those that preach another gospel of Christ "the Savior of the world" because you don't know him, He is love and love never fails Amen

nev billett Hi Nev. I hope your day has gone great. I just wanted to address something in your comment. I could be completely misunderstanding you, and I’m very sorry if I am. But are you saying that God will forgive everyone, or that all people will be saved? This is the main view that Pastor Washer addressed in this video. God is just. He cannot forgive sinners that do not have a savior. Because death is the penalty for sin, God in his justice has to punish sin. That is why Jesus Christ came into the world - out of his great love, he came “to seek and save the lost”. On the cross, Jesus paid the price for our sin by taking the punishment that we deserved. If someone has not believed in Jesus Christ, then they cannot be forgiven because of God’s justice. There is no righteousness to be credited to the one who does not believe in Jesus Christ. There is also much scripture stating that not everyone will be saved. A quick internet search should do the job. I hope this helps a little bit. If you have any questions, feel free to reply. Hope you have a great day!

Thank you for clarifying this very important point 😊

@@jonathanhumphries172 I also had that issue with this comment. God is Judge and Saviour. A perfect judge that has to punish sin, and a perfect saviour that has to save the sinner. Believing and receiving the salvation offered by God in Christ is the only way to escape judgement. While we do not preach hell as the main focus of the gospel, we cannot ignore it. Knowing the terror of God, we persuade men. Be ye reconciled to God! For God was in Christ reconciling the world into himself, not wanting that anyam should perish. God has done his part. It's our duty to carry out the ministry of reconciliation by telling the world of the finished work of Christ. Anyone who believes is translated into the kingdom of light and anyone who doesn't, is under the wrath of God.

Christ be with you only in obedience God bless you

You heard wrong

Continue to sow the seed, and continue to grow yourself. I have found Jordan Peterson's elaborations on the Bible very encouraging. He basically said that no matter how often you read it, you always find something new in it. No other book is like that! Nabeel Qureshi has some good talks on the various religions and the differences among them.

Hi Jennifer...plz read Edris356 comment above...it should help to deal with objections you might encounter. May you be blessed as you proclaim the Good News.

supposedly getting "saved" but continuing on in your own ways

@@cochisechops9834 oh thanks brother :)

Jonathan H. My bad replies to the wrong comment

@@Dada-qk2wn ok no problem it happens to me too

@@MrBilioner Paul washer is a false teacher. This is not the gospel

He is saying if they only "change" for the short time but never go forward with repentence and belief, meaning they continue in sin without remourse and never try to cultivate a true relationship with God, then it was never a true conversion. He could be planting seeds yes but if it never gets roots then it will not be. He is most likely refering to Christians who believe that because they said one prayer and believed they are saved at one time that they can continue living as they had because they are all "good" with god. It isnt about whether or not he converted them but whether they truly believe and now live their life differently in because they can no longer see sin the same. Hope I exolained it well.

Jesus can only Spiritual baptize you. Born from above. The cross we are crucified with Christ, old man buried, and we are resurrected a new creature; only Jesus can do that. We can get physical baptized because we’re Saved. Not to be saved. That would be adding to the finished work of Jesus Christ. Get this right! Ephesians 1:13 Ephesians 2 8-10. In Jesus Name ❤️🙏

I always encourage people to read the Book of Acts. How was the gospel preached? How did people become Christians and were added to the church? What are the steps, the pattern? If you want to know the will of God, you need to go to the Bible for answers. Nowhere else.

I think you misunderstood. Ive watched several of his videos and he never says we are saved through our works. What he is saying that when we truly believe and repent, as in changing our mind about god and sin, we will naturally change for we cannot live they way we used when we truly see the beauty of God and what he has done for us. Works arent a requirement but a natural progression. It isnt a earning it is a passion to please our lord and live the best we can by his commandments.

1. Every one is a sinner Rom 3:10: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one Rom 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God 2. Every one deserves to go to hell Rom 6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rev 20:14-15: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev 21:8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 3. Jesus died on the cross for us so we could be saved (the events of the cross, the blood, the death, burial, and resurrection) Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 1 Pet 2:24: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 4. You must believe on Jesus Christ as your only way to heaven Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 5. When you believe on Jesus Christ, God gives you eternal life (Rom 6:23) (illustration: receiving a gift: explain eternal security in detail) Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Questions 1. Do you believe that you have sinned? 2. Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for YOUR sins and rose again from the dead? 3. If you were to ask Jesus to save you right now would he do it? 4. How long would you be saved for? If understood "Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I know I deserve to go to hell. But I believe that you died on the cross for my sins. Please save me and take me to heaven when I die. I'm trusting only you, Jesus. Amen." (You were searching for the calvinism in this: it was in the "repent" and "do works to show salvation". In this presentation it was muted, but the lack of emphasis on believe-and-be-saved is a consequence of emphasising works.)

It is not necessary to believe in predestination, or the elect, to be saved. The Gospel is neither Calvinistic nor anti-calvinistic. Salvation does not depend on what one believes about Calvinism, or doesn't believe about Calvinism, but what one believes about God, who He is, and man, what our condition is before God, and God's justice needing to be satisfied. None of that mentions what happened before the foundation of the world. Praise God!

there is no such thing as a "sinner's prayer" in Scripture and it is wrong to lead people to believe that there is and to participate. You do a great disservice when you emphasize "believe and be saved." Believe what? Saved from What? God doesn't not emphasize "believe and be saved" in scripture. Neither should we.

You are leaving out the important part about who God is and who we are in relationship to a Holy God. Leaving that out results in a false conversion where everything is pie in the sky as long as we love Jesus. Jesus said if you love Me you will keep my commandments. There is so much more to being a Christian life than what is portrayed in what you have written. Not sure why you felt the need to correct what was already clearly spelled out.

20july1944 It's about sharing the truth of God and his word not what you think and what Calvinism is

If you asked Washer that directly; He would disagree with your statement. Its about freedom in Christ through His work on the cross. (Think Galatians 5) Eternal salvation cant be reduced down to a string of words, a formula or frankly, anything you can do. Has the Spirt come to dwell? If it has, there WILL be a change... and not through their doing but by the Spirts doing. A heart "litmus test" I have asked before; Does your sin break you? If you say no, I wouldn't say your not saved, as I have no idea what your souls status is nor does Washer (only God does) but I know your flesh should be dying and the Spirt should be leading you toward that, if you have time. (Think Romans 6 and James 2) Without a noticeable change in our thoughts and actions, how could we know? Don't we want assurance don't we need assurance in this place? look to John 11:25, “I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die.” Did the man hanging on the cross next to Jesus have time to change his life in the way you may be thinking? Yet, what did Christ tell him?

@@dr.chadeverettd.c.6604 “he would disagree with your statement” No he wouldn’t. Washer flat out agrees if you have no works, you will go to hell. The man is a modern day Pharisee. He preaches the “repent of your sins” law based heresy that has infected every Christian. He’s what the Bible calls “the ministers of righteousness” not the ministers of Christ, not the ministers of God, the ministers of righteousness. “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭11:13-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

@@SniffingOutPharisees-DanielP I understand an argument against Lordship salvation and I agree 100% we are not saved by works. However, what do you do with James 2? “What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “A ND A BRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and he was called the friend of God. You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” ‭‭James‬ ‭2:14-26‬ ‭

@@dr.chadeverettd.c.6604 Faith without works is dead? Sure. You can possess a dead, unfruitful faith. Did James say salvation without works is dead? No. James 2:14: “What doth it PROFIT, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?” Titus 3:8: “This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and PROFITABLE unto men.” Do you see the word PROFIT in those two verses? Works are for a PROFIT. They are not done as proof of salvation, to be saved, or maintain salvation.

@@SniffingOutPharisees-DanielP are we not save by grace, through faith in Christ alone? And yes I know we are not to boast Ep 2:8-9 It appears we believe the same salvation message direct from scripture. However, I think we may have different opinion on how to teach the flock on salvation and to provide scriptural references on how we can examine ourselves in light of assurance in our salvation. I’m assuming based of your KZfaq handle your focus and presumptions are focused on false teaches; which is honorable and necessary. In this case what you perceive as false doctrine, I perceive as sinner burdened to lead people to Jesus; haunted by the hundreds or thousands he’s seen say a string of words get submerged in water and then run back to the trough of sin to gorge themselves, never truly having a heart change or altering their destination straight to hell. The beautiful part of that brother is you and I don’t know, we just believe what we think. All I care is that you, I and all those reading this give their life to and become intimate with Christ in a believing salvation relationship

Hey there! That verse you brought up actually refers to habitual sin. Check out this article: www.apologeticspress.org/apcontent.aspx?category=13&article=919

So it seems we should really be reading the Greek Bible..

Matt Celentano "continue" makes all the difference. A true believer will not live a life of continous sin. The author of 1 John also assumes that christians will fall into sin (1:9) but at the same time assume that christians will confess (and repent) of their sin. An unbelievers life will be marked with continous sin without repentance or recognition of its offense while a christian's life will be marked with repentance and confession.

Matt Celentano he was talking about practicing sin , not falling into sin. Is impossible for you to be without sin as long as you are in this planet

That moment when you're watching gospel videos and you find a fellow artist getting down to business in the comments section :D ...you win sis. @Charlene Nash

Not true, he was saying works come after faith

lol

You need to get a KJV Bible. It clearly says unless you have believed in vain. Most people have believed in vain. Jesus Changes life’s 2 Corinthians 5:17 than we can bring forth fruit. Many are not Born Again. I hope you get this right and not find yourself believing in vain. Thrown into hell.

Christ be with you 1 Cor 15:1-4 is not the complete Gospel that is the part of first importance of the full Gospel previously preached, as it says it is. saying, “The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” And he said to all, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it. (Luke 9:22-24) you have not preached the Gospel until you say who will reap its reward of eternal life. Do not be deceived; *God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.* For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; *but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.* *And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.* (Gal 6:7-9) There are those who do not tell you the necessity to repent and obey the teachings of Christ to receive eternal life. Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son. If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting; for he who greets him shares his wicked work. (2 John 9-11) We have not believed anything unless we believe what Christ taught. God bless you

@@MrKev1664 Hello I feel concern in adding to something that Paul himself called the gospel. Was he wrong? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. There is only one gospel and they originally received it from Paul. 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. Paul did not mention eternal life, even though this is a key to understanding the gospel, but he called 1-4 (and went on to list witnesses) the gospel in this passage, he was not wrong. don't add righteousness, don't add into the gospel. 2 John 9-11. The doctrine of Christ is faith in Christ alone. Whoever transgresses that, does not have the Father or the Son. Scripture is consistent and does not contradict itself. John 3:16-18 etc. He that DOES NOT believe is condemned. Don't add to it, don't change it. Don't remove from it. People do need context to understand the gospel. We are all sinners. We have fallen short, and need God's grace and forgiveness. But Pual is explicit to what the gospel is. Once we believe in Jesus we have eternal life. If this was not true, scripture would not clearly repeat this over and over. There is the gospel. Then there is a deeper relationship with Christ, a deeper faith. Then there is studying and understanding the gospel. There is a difference between new babes in Christ, and those who study the sincere Word, the meat. There is a difference between salvation and service. Once adopted into the family, God does not boot out His children, but He does punish them. Praise Jesus every day.

(Gal 6:7-9) *You say* don't add righteousness, don't add into the gospel. *Response* That wasn’t me that was Jesus and St Paul. *You say* 2 John 9-11. The doctrine of Christ is faith in Christ alone. Whoever transgresses that, does not have the Father or the Son. Scripture is consistent and does not contradict itself. *Response* I suggest you read it then St John tells us what Christ’s doctrine is, you don’t get to make this up for yourself. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. (2 John 5-6) St Paul tells us how this doctrine is fulfilled (Rom 13:8-10) *You say* John 3:16-18 etc. He that DOES NOT believe is condemned. *Response* I suggest you read more than proof texts. Try reading down to verse 21 We see that the believers are those who turn from darkness and sin to the light and do works of God. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. *And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.* For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. *But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.* (John 3:16-21) *You say* Don't add to it, don't change it. Don't remove from it. People do need context to understand the gospel. We are all sinners. We have fallen short, and need God's grace and forgiveness. But Pual is explicit to what the gospel is. Once we believe in Jesus we have eternal life. If this was not true, scripture would not clearly repeat this over and over. *Response* No St Paul did not give us the complete Gospel He does not get to overrule Jesus and neither do you *You say* There is the gospel. Then there is a deeper relationship with Christ, a deeper faith. Then there is studying and understanding the gospel. There is a difference between new babes in Christ, and those who study the sincere Word, the meat. *Response* Sorry no a deeper relation come by obeying the commandment and teachings of Jesus Christ. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (John 14:20-21) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. (John 14:23-24) Notice how this agrees completely with what St John teaches in 2 John 9-11 *You say* There is a difference between salvation and service. *Response* Sorry that is false as you have been shown there is no salvation without service (Gal 6:7-9) That is just mocking God *You say* Once adopted into the family, God does not boot out His children, but He does punish them. Praise Jesus every day. *Response* Baptism is the first stage of us becoming Children of God but St Paul tells us this process is not complete but something we hope for. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. *For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.* For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, *even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.* *For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?* But if we hope for that we see not, *then do we with patience wait for it.* St John does tell us how we can know we are Gods Children. *In this the children of God are manifest,* and the children of the devil: *whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother. (1 John 3:10) And God will cut of those that do not produce fruit. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. *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.* (John 15:1-6) I really suggest you read scripture and not just proof test. Come to Christ

@@MrKev1664 Paul did state it was the gospel, vs 1. Clear scripture. Do you know how we know it is the full gospel? Because it is how they were saved, vs 2. He goes on to describe the gospel in later verses. Clear scripture. I see you tell me in the end to "come to Christ". I guess you are taking the place as judge here? You know my heart and know whether or not I'm saved? Well guess what, I'll trust scripture and I'll trust Jesus over anyone else. I won't add my own righteousness or my own works to salvation. Will I seek to obey Him? Yes. But my salvation is through faith in Christ alone. Good day

He does not believe in works based salvation. I have no idea why people keep saying that. He doesnt believe you can earn your way to heaven through your works but that by believing and repenting you naturally change your ways because you want obey God and because you love him. If anything he believes any good works you do is through God and God alone and all credit should go to God and not yourself or man.

@@essievandbroek Yup. I know what Paul Washer meant. He is wrong. I suggest reading what the apostle Paul had to do when it came to guiding saved Christian's through their Christian walk. He regularly had to revisit Christian's that he had saved after hearing they hadn't repented of their sins. These Christians were saved and still sinning. They weren't living "changed lives" like Paul Washer claims is proof of salvation. These Christians were still saved. They still went to heaven. That means a changed lifestyle doesn't prove salvation. A changed lifestyle is simply obeying God in your Christian walk. Keeping fellowship with the Lord. Carrying your cross. It has nothing to do with salvation. Or knowing you're saved. The word Repenting in the Gospel means changing your mind from whatever you once believed, to believing Jesus is Lord and died for your sins. I hope that clears it up for ya.

Repent or likewise perish -Jesus Christ

@@jacobnewton3816 from what?

@@lucashack5318 I want to say Amen, but there are so many (people and verses which confuse me), like "Once Saved, Always Saved: Satan’S Greatest Trick" from Stephen Pippin. He amongst other things says there, that walking in the Spirit every day till death is necessary for salvation. These are not works but happens automatically, when we obey.

@@Who_can_save_you_from_hell Walking in the Spirit every day will certainly make your earthly walk easier. God chastise his children when they sin (Heb 12:7). But salvation has nothing to do with the walk. Salvation is a gift from God ( Eph 2 8:9) . People try mixing the earthy Christian walk in with Salvation as one doctrine not realizing they are two separate things. For example, James is talking about the Christian walk. He's saying if we don't act like Christians we won't bear fruit for the Lord. We'd be dead branches because we wouldn't be bearing fruit. We'd still go to heaven. We just wouldn't bear fruit on earth. Hence : faith without works is dead. You won't win anyone to the Lord if you aren't showing your faith.

He believes the Word of God, and that is what it says. The requisite requirement being "whosoever believes in [God's only begotten Son] shall not perish but have everlasting life. The key is what must we believe about God's Son, which ties back to God and His justice, and our sinful condition in the first place.

He is a trinitarian

"Men are to be taught indeed, that devine benignity is free to all who seek it, without any exception; but... none begin to seek it, but those that have been inspired by heavenly grace." John Calvin

Amen. Paul wants you to work like him and turn from your sins like him. Works + Faith = Damnation.

@@essievandbroek Try reading the Bible like its supposed to be read. [2Ti 2:15 KJV] 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Rightly dividing the word of Truth.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9dzrbRor8Xelac.html

You are lost and so is paul washer. The true gospel is the good news of the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, it is concerning who Christ is and what He did to save sinners. The gospel includes the how and why, which can only be seen by faith. It is a message that declares how the eternal Son of God came down, took on a body of sinless flesh (John 1:14) as He was born of a virgin (Mat 1:23). He was both God and man in one Person. He was born under the Law to keep and fulfill it (Mat 5:18, Gal 4:4). He did that, not for Himself, but for all those He represented because they could not keep it themselves. The word of God calls these people the elect or His sheep, among several other names. His obedient life also included the part of dying. He took on the sin of His people as both a Substitute and Representative of those people. The Bible said He was "made to be sin" (II Cor 5:21) and the way that was done is by God imputing (legally reckoned or charged to the account of) sin to Christ. That means all the sin of all those people God chose was "laid on Him" (Isaiah 53:6). This sin was legally transferred to His account and He then owned it in such a way to be guilty of it all. God the Father poured out His wrath and hatred toward sin on His Son and had pleasure (Isaiah 53:10) in doing so, in that, He was completely satisfied in Christ as a Sacrifice that met all the demands of His strict Law and inflexible justice. Christ finished the work of paying the penalty of the Law and then said " It is finished" (John 19:30). He secured salvation for all God’s chosen people that would even be born. His resurrection is evidence of the acceptance of His sacrifice to the Father. The combined work of His obedience to the Law and His obedience unto death on the cross was considered establishing righteousness. This is what one of the Old Testament prophets prophesied as "bringing in an everlasting righteousness" (Daniel 9:24) as Christ died effectually and exclusively for those chosen of God before the world began (Eph 1:4). This righteousness is what God imputes to His people in the context of giving the life to believe in Christ. This puts them in a state called "Justification" and as a result they are eternally secure, in Christ. This is the gospel (Rom 1:16-17). All this takes place in such a way to show God as both a God of justice and a Savior. This is how grace reigns through righteousness (Rom 5:21).

Den Brodie That's why it's the essentials of the gospel

no,is his interpretation..gospels say many many different things,different ways of salvation

Only ONE gospel. All others are false gospels. What he is preaching is the true gospel. Following any other will not lead to heaven but through the wide gate and onto the path to destruction.

wrong..gospel(s) there are 4 of them called the synoptic gospels.gospel just means good news false gospel is a very very vague statement..and the "true gospel" is what ?? he is preaching HIS version simple

You are confusing the four "gospels" - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, with the Gospel of God, the truth that, when heard and used by God the Holy Spirit, at the appointed time, transforms our stony hearts to hearts of flesh. The "true" gospel is what Washer was talking about, not the false gospels that teach that we earn our way to heaven by good works, or some other man-made design. The fact that you cannot hear and understand the Word of God would indicate that you have not yet been born again and therefore would have no spiritual understanding of the truth of God.
