      There are two kinds of Christians, those that are spiritual and those that are carnal. Spiritual meaning regenerate, and carnal meaning unregenerate.
      If mature means to be complete, or perfect, this would describe the spiritual Christian, who has overcome the world, while the carnal Christian is still a babe, bound by sin and still serving sin. Of whom a man is overcome, of the same he is brought into bondage.
      This does not mean that the babe in Christ is not saved, but is given mercy and grace to overcome the world.
      If there is no sinless perfection by the new covenant Heb10, there is no new covenant as promised in Ezek36, whereby God promised he would cause his people to walk in his statutes and to keep his commandments, by reason of the new birth, a new heart and a new Spirit.
      Also, If there is no sinless perfection, there is no return of Christ, because he is returning for a church without spot, without wrinkle. And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
      None are willing to acknowledge that they are babes, as they have not yet crucified the flesh and the lusts thereof, this is just fleshly pride, hindering the apprehension of the grace God gives the humble, to walk in his statutes and to keep his commandments. If we are guilty of one sin, we are guilty of them all.
      If we commit murder only once, we are a murderer, if we steal only once, we are a thief, but if we confess our sin, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
      We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
      Babes endure chastening, because God chastens those he loves, but if we are not chastened, we are not sons but bastards. We are chastened that we might be partakers of his holiness, for he has said, Be ye holy for I am holy. Yet in my 42 years as a Christian, I have never heard a Christian say that he is being chastened of the Lord. Being ignorant of the fact that chastening is not pleasant but grievous, and can result in trials, afflictions, weakness, sickness and death. It is also written, My people perish for a lack of knowledge.
      We are chastened of the Lord that we should not be judged with the world, and if we would judge ourselves, we will not be judged. We are to examine ourselves, whether we are in the faith.
      Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? GOD FORBID.
      We been given grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, the gifts of God are effectual.
      Be blessed, that you may be a blessing.

      @@Opin10n
      hyper grace or " free grace" is the theological system that claims that Christians with evil deeds will have eternal salvation. They deny that true saving faith is always transformative unto a changed life and falsely use scriptures such as 1cor3:15 to make these claims. Scripture says that those with true saving faith ( confidence in the Gospel promise, trust in God) will ALWAYS live in- or return to repentance of their sins. They will not end their life in sin. 1jn3:7-10, gal5:19-21, mattew13:41-42. Free grace or hyper grace denies this, which proves them to not really be operating in the Spirit. I do believe that many if not most of these hyper gracers were saved in the past, and this doctrine that they now profess is merely a sign of their falling away from Christ and going back into the world. Some who teach this false doctrine in it's purest and most blatant form here on RUclips: Renee Roland, Gregg Jackson, David Benjamin, Jacksmack77, Good Hope. Some of which have addressed me in their videos, saying that I am a wolf because I teach that scripture warns of loss of salvation, and a demand for us to endure by faith until the end to be saved. Hebrews 3:11-14, 1cor15:1-2, Luke 8:13, Hebrews 10:36.

      I haven’t heard the term hyper grace before, but it sounds like when a saved person believes they can live however with no submission to Christ, and God will just forgive it over and over again. Essentially when a Christian discounts the blood of Christ, by carelessly snuggling with the same sins His blood paid for. I think that’s what it is

    Brother in Christ. Praise God for giving you the strength to do his work. Sipitual growth is my current duty in my household feeding my little family with the word of God. And I see my son and my wife growing from their own desire and into Christs desire. My son is in a football team. The reason why coach chose him to be the captain is because after every training. He would clean up the equipments. And this is because the other day we talked about what Jesus said to his disciples that if you want to be a leader, you need to serve, if you want to be first, you need to be last. I guess my son practiced that in his football. Thank you for the reminder. May God continue to give you the strength for his work. God bless.

    Thank you Allen! This video greatly encouraged me in a time of severe depression which has also led to spiritual depression. I’ve had a past that I wish I could forget and start over from including a dysfunctional family and a plethora of social, emotional, and psychological issues. I grew up in the church but likely wasn’t saved until sometime in high school based on my fruit and convictions. I’m a freshman in my local community college and I’ve lost two of my best friends to university. I’m waking up later than some peoples part time jobs probably end, my grades are slipping, I’m on my phone for up to 8 hours a day consuming media such as RUclips which does include Christian content from various solid brothers in Christ that you know. I’m always reading deeply into theology, literally covering almost all the topics you mentioned. But I’ve had little to no motivation to read the Bible, turn in my homework, or do anything that involves me not being on my phone. I know it’s a serious addiction that’s taken over my life recently and I need prayer and change. Fortunately I recently started leaving my gospel tracts out in public again and I’ve felt the Holy Spirit’s convictions in the way I’ve talked to people and how I’ve gotten offended at things I shouldn’t have. My latest OCD introspection has led Him to sanctify me by reflecting on my very clear shortcomings but I’m burdened by the guilt of my flaws every single day which is also contributing to my life of utter laziness. All this to say, I probably have the knowledge of a mature Christian but my life at the moment is a mess and you might as well say I’m living in carnality by doing absolutely nothing most days except for hanging out with friends. I have confidence that in truly saved which is something I’ve always wrestled with but I feel just about the dirtiest, vile saved person on the planet earth. I don’t know where I fit in to any of these categories but your videos have always been a blessing to me regardless of theological disagreements I may have. God bless you brother!

You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!

    Just yesterday, I was thinking about my walk. I was unsure if I’ve been on the right track, but then I looked at my life. I’ve changed so much and I’ve never been the person I am now. My faith is in God more than ever and I find myself constantly thinking about Him and what He would want from me in that moment. I go to Him for all things now and I repent more quickly than I ever did in the past. I became a mom this year and I’ve suffered deeply with postpartum depression from hormones, isolation, and my physical health declining, but I thank the Lord because my suffering has changed my heart. The moment I realized that I was praising Him for my pain and suffering, I knew that I’ve been changed for good. I came to Christ when I was 18 and it was an unsteady journey. He’s blessing my entire house, as even my husband is growing. I still struggle, but I’m better than ever all thanks to Jesus!

      Don't believe this guy when he says " if you remain carnal you might not have ever been saved". He's a liar. The bible tells us clearly that we can lose our Salvation. It's " leaders" like Allen parr that tell you that you are secure but maybe your not saved that are making you feel the way you do. Cling to Christ with fear and trembling and acknowledge that he has the power to throw you in Hell, and then knowing that you can soberly rely on his promises to those who rely on him and do not turn away from the faith. It's very serious, but when we cry out to God because it is so serious and scary, he will always say " here I am" and he will lead us through the parted sea (death and hades) and lead us to the promised land ( eternal life). He will not let us perish, IF we lean on him until the end. Watch out for false teachers. They cannot address your fears and instead will tell you to have assurance because you got saved.

      If we confess our sin he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we would judge ourselves, we will not be judged. Examine yourselves whether you are in the faith. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
      Peter said, We are saved, not by the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but by the answer of a pure conscience toward God. Simply repent, you cannot change yourself, allow God to work in you, both to will and to do his good pleasure. The secret of Christianity is not in doing but in being. Being born again.
      Men do not gather grapes of thorns nor figs of thistles. A good tree can only bear good fruit.
      Grow in grace and in the knowledge of God and of Christ.

    I’m growing, I turned away from Sexual sin but still have thoughts and needs I’m dealing with. But I refuse to act upon those sins. Curse words still slip out but they aren’t as often as they use to be. Im trying to turn away from things, so far I’m having trouble with fasting… I want to fast but think I have a food addiction. Being ready to defend my faith I’m still trying because the only thing that comes in my head is “I believe because his word is truth, and it’s evident in today. And I truly just love GOD.” But it’s not enough I dive into the Bible 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours a day, but I still need to study more.

    Okay Allen, here's my situation. I work with our youth group under a woman. A couple of weeks ago she was teaching on anger and how it can lead to all sorts of other sins. She tried quoting the verse that was on her mind but was unable, so I looked up Galatians 5:18-19 where Paul is saying of such were some of you. I raised my hand and stepped up with my Bible open to the verse. Her response was, "Not now David, the Holy Spirit is talking to me." Initially I felt hurt. That Monday we had a meeting on Google meets, instead of bringing this up, I asked her for forgiveness. I wanted to do this in front of the other leaders. After I did she gave an excuse for why she did what she did. I'm of the opinion that holding the grudge in my heart was wrong. That is why I made the public confession to her with the other leaders listening. After she gave her explanation I let it drop. I didn't argue with her, but my feeling is those kids come first. This seems to be something she doesn't get. At one time I mentioned this before the kids. I don't do that any more, because they deserve to hear unified teaching from the adults. Pray for us.

    You may want to back track on the silence part. There are those who need time to sort out thoughts and feelings and need time alone with God to do that.
    There are those who will not allow the one who needs time and invade that space with their own thoughts and feelings. Which intrudes on the tome the other needs.
    Trusting God with each other is a sign of maturity.

    • @lookingatdaisies9901
      @lookingatdaisies9901 6 месяцев назад

      Silent treatment is not the same thing as that.
      Someone who is mature will say I need some time and space to think, I've got this issue with you etc, they'll be polite and cordial. Whilst they take their time.
      Silent treatment is passive aggressive, it's to punish someone by making them feel isolated, to make them feel invincible and unacknowledged as revenge.

    I haven't cared about my looks for years and have been going through a spiritual journey, but I do feel God is taking me through a season of beauty. I've been praying for him to send me someone, and there were some things out of my control that started all of this. I've enjoyed it, but feel a little guilty and make sure I'm cognizant not to go too far or get wrapped up in beauty too much.

    Thank you for your videos. I’ve been sharing them with family and friends. I sent a bunch of them to my daughter, the other day and some other family members. I think one thing you could add to the video is that amateur Christian shares the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ with others either through direct evangelism I’m just doing life with people inviting them over their house doing acts of service and good work so they can see Christ in peoples lives. I think that’s another example of a girl ever grow in Christian. I think a person who stuck in carnality doesn’t go to worship on the regular basis they’re always giving excuses why they don’t wanna go to church or they’re sleeping in charge they walk out they can’t even stand the service of you know getting up to go play on their phones and things like that so I think you can add those types of things or costly in service thinking about other things while they’re in worship. Those are other examples I believe of carnal Christian people who are not safe I just have the other mark and badge of being a question, so add that to your video thank you. Once again, I have grown by watching your videos. God bless and I cannot wait to meet you in glory.

    I don’t even know if I’m saved or self deceived anymore. I feel so disappointed in my experience. I ask God for more faith, to help me love Him and appreciate Him more, and to help me know if I’m a child of His or not. It feels like He is silent and never answering whenever He seems to answer other people when they struggle with similar things. The longer I feel like this the more my trust in Him seems to fade. I don’t want to give up but my heart feels very apathetic right now.
