Onorato Diamante, you are the best Bible teacher I have ever heard and I am 72 years old. Thank you for your clear, concise and spot-on presentations. Some of the things you've said hit me like a brick upside the head. One issue I struggled with for years was succinctly addressed by you and taken down in my mind, forever. You said: "If you could lose your salvation, you would lose your salvation." So, thank you, sir. God bless.
Always clear and concise with a calm and soothing demeanor... Salvation is to trust the savior not the sinner..... and he explains it every way possible with truth..... 👍
Man I wish I was a decent man so everyone could see Gods love through my actions, but sadly I am backstabbing Gods law each day... Thank God we are saved already by Jesus because I DO NOT deserve salvation, I am actually questioning if I even have believed accurately because I have sinned several times knownfully and willingly. I know God is mercyful and loveful, He even chose Paul as apostle, but man, this guilty and shame is trully killing me... God bless you, thanks for all your work, may all people be believers and be saved.
Colossians 2:13-14 NKJV And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, [14] having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. All of your sins were forgiven when you believed the testimony concerning God’s son. You need to be SON focused and not SIN focused. When we focus on our sins, it actually leads to MORE SIN. But when we focus on Christ, and our identity in Christ, naturally we will not sin as much because we are walking in the spirit. You are COMPLETE in Christ. You lack nothing. Colossians 2:9-10 NKJV For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; [10] and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Don't listen to anyone trying to redefine the word "believe". They are simply attempting to use a bit of mental gymnastics to preach a back-handed faith + works based salvation. Believing is quite simply hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ and believing it.
@@QuietRiot3991 I have been challenged by people who ask what it means to "believe" and I struggled with how to answer it easily and succinctly without including works. I got attacked several times by other Christians when I did try to answer. Thank you for sharing; that is the perfect answer!
buds. That is the Holy Spirit convicting you. its a good thing. On the other hand, you are in Christ, you are free. Talk to God, tell him your struggles. He already knows, but tell him anyway. Love ya brother.
May these words bless you my friend, for you can find them in our Holy Bible : "None of us deserve salvation!! No one! God wants us all to understand, that we are all utterly, totally not deserving salvation. But His love through our Lord Jesus Christ is bigger than that! He saved us even WHEN we were His enemies! Now that we are His Children, no longer His enemies, what can separate us from Him? Nothing!!"
I will say this in this channel the last time. Faith will produce kindness, joy, loyalty, faithfulness, goodness. All you have to do is have faith. That why faith is the most important out of anything because it will produce every other thing you don’t have. Hope you guy understand.
You are brought into harmony with God even when you stand opposed to Him. Salvation comes to the ungodly; you don’t need to change sides to receive it. You come just as you are. “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” - Romans 5:10 (KJV)
And what are his commandments? 1 John 3:23 “And this is his commandment, That we should (believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ), and (love one another), as he gave us commandment.”
So good brother! My take away is this; there is more than just one meaning of the word KNOW in Gods Word. There is Knowing Jesus Christ as your Saviour. And then there is knowing Jesus Christ intimately by not staying a babe in Christ and starting a relationship with Him, which is discipleship(not salvation)and as Paul says..." growing in grace, and in the KNOWLEDGE(to know) of our Lord and Savoiur Jesus Christ.
Well said. I think the fault of the "free grace" movement (not grace itself) is the rejection of the bibles instruction and a hatred for any conversation regarding how we should walk and grow once saved. "Sinning so that grace may abound" is (at least from my conversations with believers as such) is something they are perfectly fine with while, of course, rejecting or attempting to cancel out scripture with scripture, also accusing those interested in work as trying to "earn" salvation.
No "free gracers I know are like that. But grace is free, it is a gift from God for belief in Christ without works. therefore I conclude free grace. ANY work after salvation is reward, and profitable unto man.
So you believe it's your faithfulness to God that is saving you or keeping you saved? yes? Or you believe of you have believed then you will never stop believing?
So you believe in faith + works. That’s wrong. Only faith saves. By itself. Trusting Jesus Christ’s finished work he did. Nothing you can do on your part to earn it.
True saving faith doesn’t need maintained, that is a work. You are saved the second you believe the gospel and you can’t lose it by somehow “not having faith anymore” so the language you’re using “as long as” is just the devil tricking you into thinking you have some end of the bet to hold up on your side of things
Hey Ono, do you maybe have a video regarding the rapture? If not, how does that work? Will we believers be raptured before the tribulation period or after?
Post tribulation rapture. The man kf perdition will already be revealed, and this means we would already be within the trubulation period. We are caught up at Jesus' second coming.
Yeah I also would love to see a video from you on the rapture. I personally believe in a pre tribulation rapture as interpreted by pastor Jesse Martinez from BibleLine ministries (another great Free Grace ministry) but I also wanted to see your perspective on it since you also are a gifted teacher who knows how to properly divide the word of God
@@pigzcanfly444so you believe that God will pour out His wrath on his Bride and then take her/us to heaven for the wedding feast after we have been brutalized by Him. And then turn around with us to return to wipe out the armies of the world????? You’ll notice that the church is no longer mentioned after Revelations 5 - only Israel. WE ARE ALREADY GONE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION!!
Love your excellent messages but, with all due respect, not so much the medieval language. The KJV was deliberately written in that style to give it an aire of "higher authority". The British weren't even talking like that by the early 1600's (re: Shakespeare). The Bible's hard enough to understand in many places without having to parse through Olde English nomenclature and sentence structure. Its been translated into over 1000 languages around the world and not one of them revert back to the way their languages were written or spoken 500 years ago. I take your teachings and then go and look up the verses in a highly-regarded version I can actually understand and relate to. Thanks again. Looking forward to more teachings.
After years of bashing Ray Comfort, you start to sound like Ray comfort. Finally you start to understands the doctrine of lordship salvation. Just believing is not sufficient for a Christian. You need to have a intimate relation with Christ or your salvation is nothing more than self deception. Salvation without repentance is like cheating on your wife without remorse. You get saved and than you change! You dont change, youre not saved! I'm glad you are on the right team now! God bless!
The Bible gives us the gospel message, and instructions for righteous living. The first, is not contingent upon the second. The reason Christianity is rejected is because a false gospel is presented. No one is required to “repent of sins”, “make Him lord”, “make a personal commitment”, “give your life” etc., to receive eternal life. Faith in The Savior is what saves us. We recognize our need for a savior and put our trust in THE SAVIOR. That’s it, nothing more. Righteous living should follow in time, but never determines our destiny. Faith in the savior determines our destiny. When you tell people they must give up the way they’re living to convert to Christianity, you are poisoning the field before it is harvested.
Ono is not teaching Lordship Salvation, never has, never will. Lordship salvation promotes faith in good works. This channel does not promote fruit inspectors. By your logic, if good works save, then Mormons, Catholics, and Calvinists are going to heaven. The ROOT of what one believes is proof of salvation. Either salvation is all Christ, or it's 90% Christ and 10% works that save. Don't be a fruit inspector and put your faith in the finished work of Christ alone.
@@lai75272 Timothy 2:24-26 LSB [24] And the Lord’s slave must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, [25] with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may give them repentance leading to the full knowledge of the truth, [26] and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
So if an irreversable event occurs that seals you the moment you put your faith in Christ as stated in your other video, wouldnt someone that believes in thier works (Lord didnt I do this type of people) wouksnt they still be saved even though they belive in thier works because they believed christ solely for their salvation at a previous point?
I understand what you are saying but it seems to me that this person never thought that grace alone was sufficient for their salvation (else why would they believe in their works to save them?).
@@hunzea2 Disagree. False doctrine can lead the believer away. It is God who saved and will keep you even if you sin unto death. 1John 5:9-21. And some believers could have nothing but salvation, at Christ judgement seat. 1Corinthians 3:1-15. Shalom...
1) That verse is about fellowship, not salvation. 2) And this is His Commandment: That we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us Commandment. (1 John 3:23)
