Yes, but did Peter ever do it again? No, this is what he said - “Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.” I Peter 4:1-2 NKJV
I’m still faith alone person I haven’t done enough ….. God has done everything for me! I believe in Jesus I believe in Jesus I got church because Jesus I was baptized because of Jesus I love my enemies because of Jesus I do not take credit for my works there the works of the Holy Spirit. I don’t look to obedience I look to Christ.
If you chose to ignore the Scriptures I gave and the meaning of faith, that’s on you and you will be judged for rejecting Jesus’ words - “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him-the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”” John 12:48-50 NKJV
faith mean nothing without hope and love how can we saved by faith alone if in scripture we need hope and love tot to be saved so word "faith alone" is scam because faith never alone to saved us
How much can I mess up before I’m considered to no longer be faithful? How many times can one fall a away from God and come back? Is it 70x7, or zero since we are not to crucify Christ a second time putting him to open shame? Did Christ die for every sin you will ever commit, or just the ones you committed up to your salvation? You are playing with fire and assuming the free grace believers lover their sin.
Better yet, why don’t you ask Paul that? He’s the one who said it, not me. Take it up with Him. Or better yet take it up with Jesus! “Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in 👉all things.” I Timothy 3:11 NKJV
@@abideintheWord If I were to ask my wife how many times she would forgive unfaithfulness (infidelity), the answer would be zero. That's a deal breaker, and I wouldn't blame her. That being said, Christ has much higher standards. Just having lustful thoughts over another woman, even if I don't act on them, Christ considers that adultery. And yet there is no limit to how many times Christ will forgive me for such thoughts. Christ's love is perfect, our love is not.
Yes and no. We can frustrate or resist the grace of God. We can outrage the spirit of Grace or quench the Holy Spirit. It’s our job to work out what God works in us.
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” Philippians 2:12-13 NKJV
"Only God is perfect, but can you be faithful?" Well said, very well said. Thats what these people dont understand. They think they have faith, but they cant even repent from looking at p*rn and think it doesnt matter if they change, because they cant be perfect anyways? What kind of faith is that? I watch their videos often and its unbelievable how they twist their verses to be comfortable with their own sin. And in the end they say "no, you dont believe Jesus death on the cross was enough, and verse so and so says if you believe you go to heaven" ... as if they have never read the bible. I honestly didnt even know this belief exists until like 2 or 3 years ago. Good work, God bless you and everyone here
Free gracers teach that faith without works (visible results) is dead so whats with the misrepresentation over here? Its not the faith alone peoples fault you dont even understand their position.
How does one Believe in Jesus? Is it by praying a prayer? Or by committing a ritual? Perhaps by turning away from sin? Or is it just this. Doing the will of the Father, whixh is, believe on the Son. I do not even judge myself, if God has washed me from my sins. Does that mean good works are bad? Absolutely not, they are good things when done out of Faith , which is only good because God is faithful even if we are faithless. These vidoes are going to cause many to stumble, both babes in the faith, and those who have yet to trust in Jesus work on the cross. Be careful what you say.
@theccc8318 Amen! For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
well explained brother, the free grace community and their beliefs are beyond my own understanding. I said in a comment section of some free gracer content guy that as Christians we should make an effort to repent and turn away from our sins and not remain in the bondage of sin as Jesus clearly states he will do for us in the gospel of John, and I was just met with the most ignorant, emotional, and non-intelligent rebuttals ever. I would've been glad to have had an intellectual conversation and get debunked with any of these people but it's actually impossible. One guy called me self-righteous even though I was preaching repentance and repentance is a humbling act, another guy said that because I was telling people to repent and I was "saying a foolish thought" and all sin is equal so I "committed murder" in the eyes of God, and another guy said that "God repented 38 times in the bible so we don't need to repent". You actually can't make this stuff up, and the guy who said I committed murder in the eyes of God ended up agreeing with me because I debunked his claim with scripture, and I did not get properly debunked by any of them because they really don't know the Bible, and I don't feel any better about myself because I couldn't get debunked, I just get righteously angered because I strongly dislike seeing that these people want to accept the gift of salvation, but then not turn away from their sins to draw closer to God, it's like a slap in God's face. It's sad, their beliefs keep lots of people in lukewarm Christianity, keep doing what you're doing my friend, God bless you.
Yes, I know just what you mean unfortunately. I am fully convinced these people are the antichrists spoken of in 1 John where John comes against Gnosticism and warns them - do not be decieved, whoever practices righteousness is righteous as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil. These people don’t care about Scriptures. They just parrot each others’ talking points. Once you’ve spoken to one of them, you’ve heard them all. These I believe are those John speaks of here as well to not even greet or to accept in your home - “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. 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.” II John 1:7-11 NKJV
I’ve always put it like this. Faith is when you hear Gods word, (Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God) and then doing what you confess you believe. Example- You believe ( have faith) that the car in your driveway will get you to work in the morning. Yet that faith is in vain just to say you believe it, until you act on what you confess you believe. Because the car will only get you to work, if you act on that belief, and get in the car, put the key in and start the car, put it in gear, and drive it. It goes nowhere unless your belief has works!
A person receives eternal life for FREE, NOTHING required by you, no strings attached, all because Jesus died upon the Cross. He is God who died for the sins of the whole world. The third day He rose again unto eternal life, He came back to life, and can never die again. He said that He will give eternal life to ANYONE who believes on Him for it, He died for our sins and rose again. All our sins have been paid for. God bless. John 11:25-26 KJV “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”
You guys simply just parrot the talking points of your false teachers and refuse to engage in anything that contradicts your beliefs. That says it all.
Nothing required of us? So we don’t have to believe? Answer me this. How MUCH faith must I have? Must I have the faith where Jesus rebukes me and says “O you of little faith”, or the faith that moves mountains? Or how about the faith of Abraham where I would sacrifice my only child? Or how about the faith that had Moses trust God and split the red sea? Or how about the faith that casts out demons? If the faith I have is not the faith I listed, could I even say I have faith? Jesus says if I believe, it will happen. That means if you believe in God’s power, you’ll act on it. So how much faith do I need to be saved?
Yes brother but you must be born again. A spiritual rebirth, where the power of sin has no dominion over you and you’re led by the Holy Spirit. It’s a complete transformation of the mind and heart a true real living relationship with Jesus. We must repent and abandon all hope in ourselves and trust in Jesus
@@Ornamentmountainif someone is sinning every day which is of the devil then they obviously did not repent for jesus. Jesus came to free us from sin. The devil wants us to remain enslaved to sin. If one was the fall into sin they must quickly repent. But if someone is sinning every day they showed to be a bad fruit tree that practices lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness
@@Ornamentmountain The question is, does God force anyone to repent if they choose not to repent? Why would God command repentance if He makes us repent? He gives us a choice and if we choose to truly repent, He will grant it to be so. But He doesnt force it. If im smoking crack that leads me to lying and stealing, Should I repent and go to rehab? Or should I let Jesus repent and go to rehab for me so i can stay home to smoke crack? Ill do whatever it takes to love Jesus by keeping His commands. If I repent by going to rehab in the name of Jesus, then He will work with me to grant me repentance. Work with Jesus and He will work with you. Work against His commands, then you work for the devil. Acts 3:19 19 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, 2 Peter 3:9 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,[a] not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Chronicles 7:14 14 IF IF IF my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Matthew 3:8 8 Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. Acts 17:30 30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, Luke 13:3 3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish Matthew 3:7-8 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 2 Timothy 2:25-26 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross to show the greates love to us. Its time we do our part and Love Him back by keeping His commands by sacrificing our sins by repenting. IF YOU REPENT, HE WILL GRANT IT.
God is indeed sovereign, but He won't do whatever He wants to (at least not at the face value of that). A well-known comedian (Carlan), who apparently was raised in a Catholic setting, said he would ask the nuns if God could make a rock big enough that even He couldn't lift it (all in mocking). I would hope they answered, "Yes". Even though He is sovereign, God has made (could even be said that He has confined Himself to) promises that no matter what, He will not break, even if He wanted to. Think of how much that Gethsemane prayer from His only begotten Son who had been with Him from before creation, must have impacted the Father. If ever God was going to do what He wanted and disregard His promise and plan, it was then, but He didn't. And praise God He didn't. It is the same for our salvation. God has laid it all out in His word, and we can be sure of receiving that salvation if we hold fast to the call He has placed before us. Be faithful is number 1, but we are to abide in and keep His word. We are to endure in it, and faith, until the end. And if we are doing all those things, then we have every assurance of hope that His word/promise of salvation to us is even more faithful. Out of a love that we can barely understand, God gladly built that unmovable rock that not even He could lift. PS. I know you likely already knew all this. I just thought it was worth mentioning.
Yet, God allows bad things and doesn’t force his will. I say this because God wants Israel to be righteous in the Old Testament, that was his will… yet they were not, and were punished. Just put this out there because people read that God is then responsible for bad things, because he is is sovereign…
@soundlycreative HE is SOVEREIGN doesn't mean HE is responsible for the bad stuff that happens we are it's from the free will HE gives us from the choices that we make in our lives
Not very good fruit with that guy. He doesn’t come against OSAS and I tried calling him on it and he got upset with me. He also did a video where he said Paul went around arguing with people in synagogues because he still had an argumentative spirit from when he was a pharisee. Blasphemy.

Nowhere in the Bible does it talk about church membership, although many pastors will make you think you need to be a member of a church. The important thing is being used by God among fellow believers to love them, as that’s what we are going to be saved by - our love for the brethren.
Are you going to tell me this wasn’t about salvation? “And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.” James 2:23 NKJV

Yup, context was SALVATION! Can faith SAVE!!! It even talks about HOW Abraham was JUSTIFIED before God!
Are you going to tell me this wasn’t about salvation?
“And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.”
James 2:23 NKJV
Left free grace recently for the Catholic faith.
