Praise The Lord for this message. Thank You Pr Clifford for making the most Important Doctrine of all Seventh-day Adventists teach as in why 1844 matters and the Pre-advent Investigative judgment. In all my life over 3 decades, I have never heard a Preacher makes The Gospel of The Judgment so Christ -Centered and yet does not grant visas to keep remaining in our Sin as Once saved Always Saved Teaches. As the book of Hebrews warns - If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Hebrews:6:6. Please let us share this message to all friends. Everyone must hear this message. For if our message based on the Sanctuary is not true, then the entire SDA Church is finished. God bless 🙌 Pr Clifford and his entire family more!
U.A.Вы правы, Мы не связываем евангелие в святилище со свидетельстаювом Верного Свидетеля к Лаодикии иэто урок этому свидетель,и весть о праведности по вере, для полного зерна в колосе, или 144000. Совету тебе, купить у Меня,откровение 3, 18:за твоё соблюдение заповедей "соблюдающих заповеди Божьи,144000 на 100%, как наделяемая" откровение 14, 12" белую одежду, или и веру Иисуса, Его 100% вменяемую праведность, как кровь козла и фимиам овна, в судный день. Чтобы не видна была срамота наготы твоей, или всей твоей праведности, как запачаной одежды,в памятных книгах на следственном суде, пока ты рос от зелени и до полного зерна в колосе, или до уровня 144000, реальных адвентистов.
U.A.Более того, урок не смог раскрыть то как и зачем 24 старца попали на небо без суда, евреям 9, 27; 1коринфянам 15, 22-23:еще и с Моисеем, который точно не убоялся Бога и не воздал Ему славу, ударив по скале.Если мы слепы в этом вопросе, значит мы не понимаем то, зачем Христу слава от 144000 , в 15 днях одного года семи язв, или армагеддона, и на 1000 летнем суде, или зачем Христу адвентизм? Если это так, то всё умереное и тёплое богословие будет как у Католиков и падших протестантов, здесь уже до старости получит своё и потом хорошо жить в раю, а это уже не адвентиз! Ваше мнение ?
Thank You So Much for JESUS "ATONING BLOOD"... OUR ONLY HOPE!!! ... WE really are.. "HIS GREATLY BELOVED"... DEARLY BELOVED... "CLIFFORD" ... you ease d' pain... funny ... u make me 😆 end me w/🤣 Luv ur style!
This is one of the best, to THE POINT sermons I’ve ever heard. My husband and I were so blessed! We all need to hear this message, and then hear it again, and again, and tell everyone…. Thank You Jesus for what You have done for us! 🙌🩸❤️
Joshua and the Angel is ONE of THREE missing chapters of the Great Controversy. This is a fact. They could not be included (fit) into the 1884 Great Controversy.
HOW IS IT --- that he "joined the church" and immediately went straight to the top to work in the G.C? All I hear is how he JOINED and had to learn quickly and had a hard time. And he says that joined in 1979 and has been with the GC over 40 years. This is quite interesting. I have yet to hear ANY mention of how he experienced any heart felt conversion.
"Our position on the Testimonies is like the keystone of the arch, take that out and there is no logical stopping-place till all the special truths of the message are gone.... Nothing is more sure than this, that this message and the visions belong together, and stand or fall together." - MOL 426.1
Daughter of the devil Ellen White used the word probation 1,500 times in her heretical writing. The word is not in Holy Writ. The concept is not in Holy Writ. Redeemed saints are not on probation. Redeemed saints are saved by grace, justified by faith, and seated in heavenly places with Jesus Christ. Happy Sabbath heretic.
Cliff was simply explaining the misunderstanding that his wife had of the pre-advent judgement growing up as a child. I believe someone's probation can close while they're still alive. Probation closed for the antediluvians when the door of the Ark closed but it only started raining days after the closing of the door of the Ark. They only knew they were lost when it started raining.
@@FM-ls4vu His wife had no misunderstanding. Even though she was sarcastic (as he says), she was correct. You don't know when your name comes up in the Judgment. But you WILL know when the Judgment is over because that is when the 7 last plagues of Rev 16 fall. They fall between the time that Jesus leaves the Most Holy Place and when Jesus returns. They fall on the wicked.
Yes, even though our probation is closed, yes, you can be alive. As soon as the probation is close and Jesus leaves the Most Holy Place, God's FULL WRATH will be poured out in the 7 last plagues as stated in Rev. 16. Jesus returns at the end of them. Many will perish during the plagues, but ALL wicked will perish at the brightness of Jesus' return.
@@holdthewinds do you want to embarrass yourself heretic and attempt to present biblical evidence that redeemed saints are on probation? It’s always hilarious when the crazed cultists try to defend their devilish lies. Daughter of the devil Ellen White used the word probation 1,500 times in her heretical writing. The word appears zero times in Holy Writ. Would you like to make a fool of yourself and try to explain probation for Christians when the word is not in the Bible? Eternal hell awaits you son of Satan.
An Adventist is someone who believes that Jesus's advent, aka second coming, is soon, imminent. As seventh-day adventists we also believe that the seventh-day Sabbath is a prominent aspect that needs to be proclaimed to the world - Jesus is coming soon and we need to warn the world that God's law is still valid, that He who created us has the authority, that there is a "heaven to win and a hell to shun"... That's how I see it, and hope that helps a little

If her eyes could be turned inwardly and she could see how offensive is this spirit in the sight of God, she would make determined efforts to sit at the feet of Jesus and, like Mary, learn of the Master meekness and lowliness of mind. She would be a learner in the school of Christ rather than a teacher. We cannot with safety look away from our Saviour for one moment, for a dart of Satan will be hurled at our weakest points. In the exercise of a living faith in the merits of Christ alone are we safe. The helpless soul of the sinner must hang on Jesus.

Disappointed that overcoming wasn’t stressed more. You are giving people false security. Love without justice is presumption. We are to be overcomers , not sinners when He returns.
When Christ returns each case would have been decided. The judgement is going on now and it’s only through the sacrifice of Christ that we will be able to stand through the judgement. No matter how good and obedient we are we cannot stand without Christ’s blood. At least that’s what I understand. Anyone?
@@holdthewinds The problem that arises is this: many uphold the human law model where a death penalty is issued by a broken law and someone has to pay the penalty that has now come forth from the broken law. Jesus came in order to satiate the justice the law demanded in our place. Now if we claim Jesus' blood as our own, it will cover the record of our sins; therefore, we can be declared [legally] righteous even though we are not. Then, as our name is called up in the judgement and Satan accuses Jesus is our defendant in the court room in heaven and He pleads to His Father, “My blood, Father, my blood!” Our Heavenly Father looks over the record and sees that there is absolutely no record of sins and Jesus' perfect law-keeping has been applied to their heavenly record. The sinner lived a righteous life up to they were thirty-three years old, had a perjured trial, and died on a cross. This may sounds like absolute nonsense but this how they actually teach what Jesus' righteousness does. His record of perfect law-keeping is ascribed to our record in heaven by a legal mechanism. That's because they believe sin is an *act or deed* breaking some law that the Divine Magistrate imposed and now they are in legal trouble where someone now must pay some off some legal debt they cannot pay themselves. Therefore, Jesus came to pay the debt in order that they can now be declared [legally] righteousness *even though they are not.* And so, in the penal-legal view the innocent dies in the guilty's place and now the Divine Magistrate who imposed the law lies and says you are only legally righteous and not actually righteous. It's a Roman lie that the church continues to perpetuate because they are replacing how God's justice works with how human justice works. It's a sick perversion that continues to cycle people through guilt and shame and relief because my legal debt has been paid for by Jesus applying His blood in some legal mechanism in the heavenly record books in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:21-He who knew know sin became sin (took up our humanity) in order that we might *become the righteousness of God in Him.* Not that we are declared legally righteous by some legal application of His blood in a record book in heaven.

No way except for the Blood of Jesus and His Robe of Righteousness.

Beautiful to be in compliance with the Law? The result of being indwelt by Christ through the Holy Spirit blows that juvenile fable away
