I don’t think people really get what this means. As a human being you are constantly subject to emotional states, your entire brain chemistry represents the world to you as influenced by them. There’s no getting around how inherently biased just being a human subject makes you, you’re only ever aware of yourself really, everything else is filtered through that.

This phenomenon is also known as "Convert Fever." The thing about conversion is that it is very tempting to throw all your sticks into the fire all at once and watch the fire burn bright and really feel the heat and warmth of it. Thing is, if you don't go out and collect more sticks to keep the fire burning, the fire burns out and is reduced to embers or goes cold altogether. Christ doesn't want lukewarm followers, but he doesn't want burnouts, either. Keep the fire burning bright, warm, and steady, brothers and sisters.

Join the Reformed church my brother

Thanks for sharing. I've had a similar experience. I grew up Catholic and, over the past couple of years, have tried to grow my personal relationship with Jesus along with practicing the sacraments. When I've talked and met with other Christians, they always talk about a moment at which they were saved or Jesus COMPLETELY turned their lives around, and I've felt like I must not be saved because I haven't had that transformative moment. I also saw a video recently that said that, to tell whether you are truly saved, look at your life before and after you were Christian and compare the two. For me, that doesn't really work since I've been Christian my WHOLE life. LOL!

It was at an Asbury Christian festival, search it up (not that I’d recommend to tbh)

I think I have, I think it was from RZ only. Can't remember clearly though.

I did, but I was immediately skeptical and even had some concerns. Looks like I was right, or at least my hunches weren't totally unfounded.

If a revival fails, it does not mean that it was false. Then again, Asbury seems to have these things about every 6-10 years or about once per student intake. The question from my side is what happens to those who have left the college and experienced one if these revivals.

@@jeremywilliams5107 failed revivals just aren’t revivals. It ruins the whole definition of revival if it fails

I had to do a double take when I heard the word fiancé. Our boy is just about all grown up now🎉

Perhaps like he did in 1 Corinthians?

"More energy! Less truth, less mental work, less Bible!"😅

It makes me wonder if this was some kind of over compensation for the "salvation by faith alone" sentiment that came from reactions to "salvation by works" mentalities found within Catholicism at the time. That maybe this emphasis on "energy/passion" was their answer, whether conscious or subconscious, to the rejection of salvation by works. A sort of pendulum swing, if you will. After being under one extreme of living by a legalistic and impossible law to then being under another extreme of "faith alone so works don't matter," an emphasis on passion and emotion could potentially be a driving force towards an ideal where salvation comes through faith and that faith without works is dead. Maybe the "new lights" described here saw a "dead faith" that was not being backed up by works and sought to remedy that with passion and "energy," unfortunately also including the pitfalls that came with such an approach. Ultimately, as with most things, it seems there are always pros and cons to both sides of an issue.

@@Irishman8778 That's a good point. Sometimes coldness and lack of life can infiltrate a church and make it stagnant. Thankfully, the answer is not to bend the knee to crazy heterodox madness from the NAR😃

I think this also can be fixed with sacramental theology

I’m guessing you also “prayed to receive Christ” when you were like 7 and don’t even remember 😅 that’s my story pretty much

@@jrgills I probably said “ The sinners prayer” about over ten times for this reason lol. 🤣

Look at the revivals at asbury over the years... they have continuously dissolved good biblical principles and replaced them with progressive worldliness. The asbury "revival" was a big ole lgbtq festival. That's not the work of the HS.

True. That's part of the reason I stopped attending church for many years. It all felt so artificial. Like I was attending a show, where I was just a spectator. Most church services have become lifeless. They all basically follow the same structure. And don't change. You pretty much know everything that is going to happen at the service, even before it begins. I don't think that is what the apostles had in mind for church. The early church seemed more dynamic. Constantly growing, moving, evangelizing, in touch with the local community. Church happened wherever the disciples went. I have recently begun attending church again, because I know we are commanded to gather with other believers. But I find myself often distracted and not really connected with what is going on in the service. It seems like the church is not really engaging the culture or community. It refuses to change or to adapt in order to reach more people for Christ. Sometimes I think that the churches would be stronger if they didn't have church buildings. I think most people who attend church wish there was a more meaningful way to serve in the church. But most churches already have their positions filled. And usually the only positions they will allow you to participate in, is something basic like being an usher, or watching the kids. No real work for mature believers

@@nerychristian Church is the body of believers and the service needs to be aimed at the discipleship of the believer. The work of reaching the non-believer is called evangelism and that should principally be done outside the church, individually. When church tries to evangelize the non-believer and be seeker sensitive than there is no fruit for the believer and it makes church pointless and leads to a very theologically shallow congregation. This is one of the main reasons why pentecostals have such terrible theology... they'll say whatever is necessary to get someone in the door including "you can have superpowers..."

@@anthonyprose4965 I agree with you that church is supposed to be a fellowship for believers. But at the same time, I think the church is failing to disciple believers. Part of the discipleship process should be preparing men to tak on duties and responsibilities in the church. But in most churches, it's probably like 5% of the members who are actively using their gifts in some capacity. When the pastors are salaried, there is not incentive to try to train or to produce new preachers and teachers. Ideally, the pastors and teachers should be training the young men so that they can one day take over the teaching duties, or so that they can go open their own congregations. A church that is not growing and expanding every few years in not a healthy church.

​​@@nerychristianall four of the ministries in Eph.4 are necessary: the evangelists to evangelise, the pastors to look after the flock (old and new), the apostles to direct and fix doctrine, and the prophets to declare what Christ wants and explain the Scriptures (there are more nuances but that's a good start). We tend to hear a lot about evangelists, something maybe about pastors and teachers, but there's virtually nobody who ever talks about apostles and prophets. But the verse indicates that if you don't have them, you can't go on to perfection.

Read aquinas if you want to learn about it in the summa. I personally wouldn’t subscribe to TULIP (the points of Calvinism) as a catholic though

@@Idishrkdmd I understand, I’m not saying I reject Calvinism or Thomism (I’m more familiar with Thomas Aquinas), but it is unique to learn a different train of thought, even if I don’t end up subscribing to that belief. That’s how I came to understand the teachings of the Catholic Church, I rejected it completely for so long, then I learned to understand it. While I subscribe to the Catholic teachings, I do want to broaden my knowledge of other people’s beliefs even if I disagree. It’s beneficial to know what it is you’re arguing against than only to know what you’re arguing for

hi jaiden

@@disreceded hey!

​@@jaidenforrestwhat made you convert

Finney was a Heresiarch. Period.

I was born into a reformed churchgoing family and my mom took me out to Calvary Chapel during my childhood honestly it was really disappointing, when I started driving I went straight back to the CRC. Grew up in Jack Hibbs (when it started) and saw Chuck Smith preached honestly it was just a bunch of hype about the "end times". I fully believe Chuck Smith is a false prophet.

@@jdkayak7868 I'm not much into Chuck Smith, but I wouldn't categorize him as a false prophet unless he prophesied something that didn't come true. But, I don't know much about him. I had a few friends who attended Calvary Chapel and I visited the local Calvary Chapel for some time...took their Bible School classes remotely. It wasn't my thing, though. There was some lady who prophesied during services once but I think that's against the rules. I liked Skip Heitzig's teachings back then, but there are better teachers in the Particular Baptist world imho.

@@Robert_Sparkman_03 he made a prophecy about the end of the world, many pastors in the Calvary Chapel system like to speculate on the end times.

@@jdkayak7868 Ah, OK. I really didn't listen to him much. I listened to tapes by Skip Heitzig and Mark Martin. I thought both of them were fairly decent back then. I learned quite a bit from them, but at a more basic level. I don't know if Skip got into the dispensational stuff very much. I never really learned dispensationalism, I don't think, because I was raised in a church that believed in historical premillennialism. I am now amillennial.

Well a lot of this video is just old light support and anti-new light belief.

Our faith saves us. Baptism and the Lord's Supper are things we do once we have been saved.

A) Everyone is at least potentially saved already, it's just that most don't realise it. B) Faith precedes baptism: faith imputes righteousness, the confession of Jesus being the Saviour saves, and baptism regenerates and imparts righteousness. C) nobody should be left in any kind of thrological limbo that might arise through being baptised and then not being brought up in the faith, or bring forcibly baptised, and so on. This has to be left up to God's mercy to sort out, but we shouldn't cause these cases to occur.

It's a step towards salvation

Generally speaking, if you don't pray for it, it won't happen.

I felt really good yesterday, and I'm feeling pretty down today. Am I any more or less saved in either of these two states? Emotions have their parts to play and are not to be ruled out, but the thing they should be applied to, as with all other character traits and gifts, is the edification of the church. Feeling good on a personal or private level is not to be despised, but it's not the main thing.

God is surely sending a revival, but not one based on feelings and emotions, that's just your distortion of it

Brother you just stepped into an ancient debate. I could discuss it a bit if you want but I would study it for real if I were you

@@ethanmulvihill7177 debate doesn’t always lead to truth my friend. Baptism doesn’t wash away sin also the baby has no sin, baptism isn’t the new circumcision, the Bible says it’s a circumcision made without hands, why? Because when one believes that’s the spiritual baptism, then a person can physically get it done. Also Are they dunking the baby? Because sprinkling doesn’t count anyway.

There's a ton of people being baptized as adults and they never truly believed just as well many leave the church, neither did those who are circumcised.

Infant baptism is an Unbiblical concept that has no backing by scripture. Period. The Bible is our ultimate authority we should adhere to, as it is God's word. nothing else.

@@notyourtypicalcomment2399 You 1. Denied original sin 2. conflated spiritual baptism and physical baptism 3. assumed that sprinkling doesn't count for no good reason. 1. I'm still not sure why people are denying original sin especially in light of affirming Paul. 2. Spiritual baptism relates to spiritual circumcision, physical baptism relates to physical circumcision. In both cases the physical act demonstrates entering membership in a covenant and the hope for (or signification of) the spiritual reality. 3. There's actually no way you can prove full immersion from the Bible. I'm curious to see how and if you try but I'm sorry, I can't see any way.

If venomous, avoid.

You won't fully know the extent of a revival until years later. A profession of faith today is one thing, but holding fast down the line is another. It *just* happened a year ago. A tree does not grow overnight, but takes time to grow.

@@aquicklad972 Funny how there has been countless revivals over the past century and yet even with all this time for it to grow all it's bloomed into is a drastic decline in Christian faith.

@@DepravedSinner instead of showing disdain and seeming to be upset at the prospect of people coming to Christ, maybe you need a new outlook. The love of Christ seems to be far from you with your remarks.

@@aquicklad972 Why do you assume I have disdain or am upset? If anything my comments show how much I care, because I won't allow fads and trends to lead people away from Christ.

@@DepravedSinner if these people from these revivals are being "led away from Christ" why don't you explain it? If you believe that the working of the Holy Spirit is something to scoff at (which you *have been doing*) then you need to seriously do some introspection. Instead of wanting to bring good theology and teaching to these people in need of it, you dismiss their experiences as irrelevant, their very stance as Christians as moot. The love of God is not in you. Be more like Paul, who exhorts one another to teach those who need to know. Where we "come to Christ only able to have milk" but "grow to eat food" in the spirit; that is to grow and become mature Christians. "All scripture is good for teaching and exhortation." Use the Bible and your spiritual maturity to help mentor those who are newer and weaker in their faith rather than disparaging them and dismissing their understanding of God. Your unwelcoming attitude is exactly what draws believers away from the church.

Check the link in the description. He's got a map with churches he recommends. Looks like there's several Presbyterian and Lutheran ones in the LA area, and a couple of Anglican ones as well.

100% The holy spirit doesn't produce a revival to teach the opposite of what the holy spirit wrote in scripture.

The Holy Spirit has to start somewhere with what He can get. Sinful lifestyles can be remedied and repented of. If He isn't starting with you or me, who are, of course, the most perfect people He could find, that's probably because there's something stopping Him doing it - maybe our pharisaism?

@@jeremywilliams5107 No, I don't think the Holy Spirit is limited by me. You must think he's just a voice in your head or a little genie that tells you that your thoughts are infallible. And maybe don't call people pharisees when you yourself preach a false gospel.

@anthonyprose4965 Let's not get emotional. You're wrong all along the line with what you think is my relationship with the Holy Ghost, and please note that pharasaism was a hypothetical and also applied to me. But accusation of a false Gospel is heavy stuff, and not something to be done lightly. Find me the contradiction of what i have said in the Bible, please.

@@jeremywilliams5107 "Don't get emotional," says the guy from the charismatic church that places emotion above scripture.... Your shame techniques have no affect on me. And your revivalist gospel is a false gospel. How far down the rabbit hole have you gone? Oneness? Jesus was created? We can be our own god if we do enough good works? Spirit Babies? Total perfection in this life? 2 works or the spirit or 3? Christian's can be possessed? Deliverance? False tongues speaking? I have zero respect for your lies. That which has been given was the completion of scripture and it wasn't until the pentecostal movement started to make up false doctrines did that get perverted, even more so by the charismatics. You are the result of a 100 years of brainwashing. Completely unaccountable and completely unteachable, prideful and full of arrogance. The first to accuse of the very things he is guilty of.

You can argue that the greatest way of treating someone is customised to that particular person. Imagine a parent treating their child the same as they would someone who harms their child. God does otherwise - He protects His children and justly punishes those who hurt them, both the greatest ways of treating two different groups of people

@@hewziheng4587 However, the person doing the hurting is still His child. And the Bible clearly points to 1. That He wants everyone to be saved 2. Not everyone will be saved. Good eye, @jacobpottage6938

@@micahbannister1287Well I’ll say that #1 is not correct, usually supported with Scripture verses taken out of context/not read with sufficient nuance. So there really isn’t a contradiction here with a close reading of Scripture

@@hewziheng4587 You just argued against Unconditional election, the U in TULIP.

@@hewziheng4587 #1 absolutely is correct. The primary proof for that is in 2 Peter 3, where it is revealed that God even stalls His return as a mercy so that more people have time to accept Him. (You can try to find 2 Peter taken out of context, I promise you'll be trying harder and reaching more than the people who take Him at His word) And there isn't a contradiction between free will and God's sovereignty. Predestination traditions try to limit God's power by saying that it can only take place in a way that they understand. Since they only understand sovereignty to be full control, and none of the nuance of God being outside of time, they limit God's sovereignty to "having a script by which the universe runs", which is entirely their own invention. Rather, God is sovereign because He is all good and all powerful and timeless. And if He in His goodness chooses to create beings with the will to accept or reject Him, that will not interfere in the slightest with His power and His ability to orchestrate things outside of time. Do we not have the Incarnation as an example of an all-powerful God lowering Himself? His power and His ability to humble Himself are not contradictory there, why would they be anywhere else? Our God remains sovereign, but there is no reason to think that this means never allowing a choice against Him. It just means that the choices against Him will not prevail, that they will not undo His promises to the faithful, and that they will not change His nature. Calvinists simplify sovereignty to a "child playing Barbie and making certain dolls the bad guys and certain dolls the good guys" game, and get away with it because they are very intellectually sound in other areas. They remain my brothers in Christ, but predestination soteriology is part of the reason that so many people reject what is otherwise a very strong tradition.
