- Justin Peters thought he was saved until this happened... In episode 18 of Zero Compromise, our hosts Patricia Engler, Rob Webb, and Jessica Jaworski interview Justin Peters who is a Christian author and founder of Justin Peters Ministries. We discuss his false conversion, how to spot false teachers, and much more!
A friend of ours left prosperity gospel largely through the work of Justin Peters. We thank the Lord for his work.
I was into Benny Hinn and Kathryn Kuhlmman as well Paul and Jan until I began watching Justin and slowly realized I was being deceived.....or should I say being doubled deceived as I was a Mormon. Now I'm studying for Christian ministry
@@iowaguy6470Justin Peters is a Calvinist, so he is still lost. Calvinism is not biblical and adds works.
@@Jesusandcoffee3382We have to be born again in order to see or enter the kingdom. No catholic nor Protestants nor Calvinist will enter the kingdom. We called to become disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the last days there will be mockers and scoffers. We’re called to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ while making other disciples on our journeys with Jesus 24/7
Amen the Holy Spirit opened their eyes!
@@Jesusandcoffee3382Not if he's a Christian, he's not lost. Apples and oranges. God knows where His own are.
It doesn't matter if you remember the day your were born again, what only matters is that you were born again. And that is it.
Amen!
You can know God knows just when that was and yes, that you were born again is the important date, which God knows. :D
Amen!!
Hi i. Agree i grew up in church i was a church girl thats all. Sang n the choir. Usher . Children’s choi.r Had no relationship with jesus. Mother was a missionary.
This is why individual Bible study is so important. It is how we internalize and relate to scripture.
And it saved me from falling from false teachers
@@RepentfollowJesus A Spirit filled believer becomes a disciple of the Lord Jesus by renewing our minds daily by God’s word starting at the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ daily while making other disciples on our journeys daily starting at the gospel of John chapter 14 onwards.
JP is one of my favorite preachers! He's speaks the absolute truth with no sugar coating..... Hallelujah
Justin Peters is a lying minister for the devil since his wicked soul is twisting verses of scripture to justify why he has cerebral palsy. He has stated that his disability is a blessing from God and that certainly is a lie since there are no such scriptures that ever relate that nonsense. Every sickness or disability is a curse from God and all you need to do is read Deuteronomy 28:58-61 to prove as much.
“If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, THE Lord YOUR GOD, then the Lord will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary plagues-great and prolonged plagues-and serious and prolonged sicknesses. Moreover He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. ALSO EVERY SICKNESS AND EVERY PLAGUE, WHICH IS NOT WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK OF THE LAW, will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed.”
Deuteronomy 28:58-61 NKJV
Scripture relates how God never changes but yet the majority of believers overlook what God related to us about sickness and plagues in Deuteronomy 28. Realize that this evil world is ruled by the devil and God promised to protect us from the devil’s afflictions if we chose to obey and follow His commands and live a righteous life. So any lost soul that believes in the nonsense that Justin Peters is relating is certainly proving how they are completely ignorant and deceive and they clearly possess very little scripture knowledge since God has never used anyone who has a disability as His messenger. Why? Because anyone who possesses a sickness or a disability is definitely a sinner who is disobeying God and His commands and that person clearly has no idea what scripture is even relating.
Now this wicked man has stated that you can only hear God by reading scripture and that you cannot actually hear the voice of God and that is another lie. He likes to claim that if you desire to have God speak to you audibly then read the Bible out loud and with that statement he clearly proves that he does not possess the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
John 10:27 NKJV
This wicked man has also stated that the miraculous gifts of the Spirit have ceased with the apostles.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
John 14:12-14 NKJV
This wicked man has even stated that he does not believe that Matthias was an apostle and that the other apostles “jumped the gun” as he so claims.
“And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.”
Acts 1:24-26 NKJV
Lastly, this wicked man has stated that just because someone teaches something that is false does not make that person a false teacher. Oh really, then what does it make them then?
“These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity-for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”
2 Peter 2:17-19 NIV
There are over 2000 different bible versions that all have different translations, words and different meanings and a lot of these bible versions are leading many souls astray. If you watch Justin Peter’s visit to Charis Bible College video you will see him reference the NASB1995 version of Exodus 4:11-12 to justify his cerebral palsy since he is insinuating that God is the one who is giving people sickness and disabilities.
“The LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?”
Exodus 4:11 NASB1995
So if you read this version of the Bible, yes it does state that God makes human beings blind, deaf or mute. But know I want to give you another Bible version and show you how it reads:
“So the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the LORD?
Exodus 4:11 NKJV
When you read this version it is not stating that God made them mute, deaf or blind but that God made the individual, whether they were someone who was deaf, mute or blind. God is not saying that He inflicted the disability on them. God loves you and He wants you to be healthy for He is the God who heals you. So why would a loving God who loves you and heals you desire to make you sick?
Sin and sickness are strictly of the devil and sickness reveals that we are disobeying God and living in sin. God made it very clear that He would remove sickness and disease from anyone who did not sin and who would obey what He commanded in scripture. This is why the devil can no longer put his afflictions on anyone who is truly born of God because they are now someone who can no longer sin since they are now being guided by God’s Holy Spirit.
“And said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
Exodus 15:26 NKJV
“So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.”
Exodus 23:25-26 NKJV
“And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.”
Deuteronomy 7:15 NKJV
“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.”
I John 5:18 NKJV
“HE WHO SINS IS OF THE DEVIL, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. WHOEVER HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD DOES NOT SIN, for His seed remains in him; AND HE CANNOT SIN, because he has been born of God.”
I John 3:8-9 NKJV
So scripture clearly relates that anyone who sins belongs to the devil and whoever is born of God does not sin and cannot sin. There are no scriptures that ever relate that a sinner belongs to God or that a sinner is a child of God! There are no scriptures that ever relate that a believer will always sin or that a believer can never stop sinning! There are no scriptures that ever relate that sickness would be a normal part of this life or that a Christian will possess sickness in their life! You can look all that you like but you certainly will not find any such scripture to back up those lies. God commanded us to live a Holy and righteous life and this can only be achieved by being someone who overcomes their sins.
Psalm 107:17. “Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.”
Know what this means? First transgression, it means an act that goes against a rule, a law or a code of conduct. Next iniquity, it means a wicked act or thing, sin. Finally, affliction, it means something that causes persistent pain or suffering. Translated it is saying that you are a fool if you do not follow God’s laws and commands and you go and sin because you will then have pain, suffering and sickness.
Believers who are suffering with a sickness, a disease or a disability certainly are not comprehending what scripture is relating and this is why they have allowed sin and the devil to destroy their lives. This is why Justin Peters is nothing more then a minister for the devil and he is leading people astray with his false and misguided interpretations of scripture in order to justify why his wicked soul possesses cerebral palsy.
He really doesn't
You are not saved via sin management. If you need to "repent" to be saved then how much is enough? No one has stopped sinning. And it's the sins that the other guy does that are the bad ones, right? In Greek, repent means a change of mind. From unbelief to belief. Keep your eyes on the Savior and not the sinner.
Amen, praise God! I agree! Repentance has been turned into the act of turning from or stopping your sins. The church teaches this heresy! Repentance is a change of mind about the fact that not only are you a sinner, but a helpless one, and therefore rest your faith in the finished work of Christ. We can repent or change our minds about a lot of things, but it is the message of the gospel that saves us when we BELIEVE it. It is what Christ did for me 2000 years ago that saved me and I only believed (trusted).
The key is this: BORN AGAIN! I never heard this in Methodist church but was 'confirmed' as a member at age 10. Did not attend at all between age 17-31. At my lowest point I 'called out to JESUS to "come get me" ' while looking (not opening) at Gideon Bible on nightstand in my hotel room. Immediately I sensed all weight of my sins lifted off, a deep sense of peace never known. Went back to church, 2 weeks later mentor confirmed as he shared the Gospel that I was now BORN AGAIN & Sealed with the HOLY SPIRIT!!! Solely by God's grace saved. Every day now that I have life I am reminded of what a wretch I really am.
I think you should read John 3:5, and Mark 16:16. You also need to be baptised
@@chief270202 Are you telling me I need to be baptised? I will tell you this. The Only baptism needed for salvation is 'IN the HOLY SPIRIT.' Water baptism is "symbolic" only of the past event of HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM. Water baptism alone is the height of vanity & contempt & leads straight to hell. I was baptised w/water @ age 10 but not saved. I will as you this: 1-are you BORN AGAIN? 2-John's baptism: was it from heaven or from men?
Bless you brother. As a Gideon volunteer your story is heart warming. Have you ever submitted your testimony to the Gideon Organization? We refer to the communications of how a Bible brought someone to Christ as “returns”, connecting them to the promise of Isaiah 55:11.

Well in my case I was most surprised when HRH the CHRIST decided to arrive in my bedroom when I was 20 years old.I am now 70 years old but it seems like yesterday that it happened!Yours sincerely,David from London,England
@@davidjohn85 what’s HRH?
Thanks Justin, I'm 62 year old lost sheep, after reading your testimony today, I have to immerse myself in the word. We have to find a Bible believing church in our area. Your teaching has me listening to John MacArthur and Voddie Bauchman and DLM ministry, thanks so much.
Praise God!
God Bless Justin Peters, his ‘Clouds without water’ series is amazing. He’s an amazing teacher ❤✝️🙏
I've often heard preachers say that if you don't remember the actual date of your salvation, you're not saved. That made me doubt. For me, it's been a process of getting religion out of me and Jesus into me. Jesus is such a gentleman. His wooing me, His mercy , grace, forgiveness, patience & love amazes me.
I don't even remember my children's birth dates.
I have no idea of the day when I was born again. God regenerated me, because I was dead, He made me alive and then as the days passed, I became aware of the fact that I was a lost sinner. I do remember the day I got on my knees and asked Him to save me, but that was later on. He didn’t woo me! He drew me, and I followed on.
I don't think a preacher has the authority or knowledge to say that someone who can't remember the actual date of his salvation is not actually saved. Plenty of people slowly move into the Christian faith, perhaps being nurtured from birth, and can't actually remember the precise moment when actual saving faith was exercised. In fact, I'm one of them. It's more important to simply know you understand and believe the gospel.
yer i don't remember the exact day because it wasn't anything i did it was all of Christ i wasn't looking to be saved i didn't ask to be saved He saved me despite me being a Christ hater..... All the Glory goes to God, Jesus saved me before the foundation of the World even though i was a filthy rebellious sinner Amen 🙏✝️
@@pruebarratt3085 When Jesus said, "Come unto me..." He meant exactly what He said. And when He said, "You will not come unto Me, that you might have life," He meant that too. And when the apostles said, "You have judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life," they also meant what they said. There's another verse in the NT that says, "They believed not the love of the truth that they MIGHT be saved." The potential for redemption existed but was refused ("might"). Yes, God spoked to your heart, brought conviction to your heart, etc, but YOU believed, and you asked/cried out to be saved in response to God's work in your heart. God did not believe for you.
Great interview guys. It warms my heart and greatly encourages me to see young folks so exited by proclaiming the message of the Gospel! BTW Justin Peters happens to be one of my favorite people by the way he so boldly exposes false teachers with no fear and no apologies. Thank You Jesus for saving me, such an unworthy sinful man.
Also, I’m now subbed and I look forward to digging into the channel plus the upcoming guests and interviews.
I was so glad to see this interview. I wanted to hear Justin's testimony , which I enjoyed, but to hear young people knowledgeable in God's Word, was fantastic!!!!! They did a wonderful job of asking questions!!!!! I can't say enough good things about this video.
I generally am with you, but I am disappointed about skinny jeans and the like to be the first thing that came to mind when it was about helping your friends to see, they are deceived.......where is that in the bible?!
There are bigger things to point out.
I love Justin. True man of God. God has used him to open my eyes to all sorts of false teachers and so-called preachers. He is a blessing to me.
Justin is a true disciple of Jesus Christ our Lord!
Justin Peters work about the prosperity gospel was excellent and very helpful.... But sad to say, for me, he is a Calvinist..... We all know, the Bible is very very very clear, "that God wants all men to be saved, grace is gift that can be accepted or rejected, that each one us accountable for accepting or rejecting Christ", etc., Please consider and meditate carefully all these truths....
Let us ask the guidance and leading of the Holy Spirit as we read His Word, with the motive of glorifying and exalting the name of the Lord Jesus alone!!!
God bless everyone...

Thanks for listening!
I'm sorry, Justin, but you go from one extreme to the other in your teachings. You go from warning against over-emphasis on the gifts of the Spirit to neglecting the works of the Spirit in our lives. In statements like "Your life is going to get exponentially harder as a Christian" and we must suffer and deny ourselves for His sake, I don't hear those negative truths balanced out by Jesus' statement, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Mat 11:28-30). Nor do I hear anything about the fruits of the Spirit like peace that passes understanding, the joy of the Lord that is our strength, the great expectation of better things to come, all things are possible for those who believe, or the wonderful love of the Lord that makes any trial we go through a joyful occasion. I get it that the joy, peace, hope, and love of life in the Messiah are not physical, earthly benefits. But why aren't those positive spiritual benefits emphasized more in your preaching and teaching? It's almost like your version of Christianity is resigned to a bleak, burdensome, sacrificial life at least half-devoid of the presence of the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit who not only enables us to "endure to the end" (Mat 10:22), but to be spiritually victorious overcomers, rejoicing always in our hearts (1Th 5:16), no matter what painful suffering or circumstances we go through. (Read Philippians which Paul wrote from prison and see how many times he mentions "joy" or "rejoice.") Sorry, Justin, but it seems to me that your version of Christianity is just another version of salvation by adhering to correct doctrine and works (keeping the commandments) devoid of the presence of the Holy Spirit who is the One who enables us to understand correct doctrine, keep the commandments, and do more than we can even think or imagine, joyfully praising God and giving Him the glory as we do it. That reminds me of an old song sung by Neil Diamond that declares, "He's not heavy, he's my brother." It also reminds me of the New Covenant which is not doing away with the Torah (Law); it is the indwelling Holy Spirit enabling us to keep the commandments of the Lord from our hearts, out of love for our Heavenly Father and love for others (Heb 10:15-16; John 14:21). Sorry, Justin, but your teachings, although Scripturally correct as far as they go, leave me spiritually impotent and empty.
Maybe because Mr. Justin is a Calvinist.
@@amerielvescor8759 Yes, I agree. Calvinists tend to minimize, in fact, quench the role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers.
Southern Baptist have become liberal. Independent Baptist are free to worship without a controlling body. I would rather be called a Bible believer.
I was Southern Baptist but now nondenominational. Why does this have to be so complicated. It is sad!
The gospel of Grace is so Simple
What s the problem
We are save Forever by faith Alone in Crist Alone
Faith not in our selfs
Our works don t save us from eternal lake of fire
We all killed Jesus
Repent of sins don t save
Batismo of water don t
It s all about Jesus
And zero about us sinners
Jesus paid All our debt in cross
We just have to accept be save
So Simple
Sinners go to hell to pay the price of sin
Jesus died in our place
Vicarius sacrifice
His divine blood shed on the cross clean our Lost souls ❤❤❤
From loosing all my friends and most of my family members, being accused of many things that I did not do, as well as loosing my husband my marriage and my home as well as my health I'm learning to go with the flow and remain joyful in the storm that I've been in for many years but it's not easy, ever day is a struggle and each day gets harder, im doing the best that i can but could use a lot of prayers, God / Jesus is the only one that i have to lean on because their is no one else in my corner, so please pray for me, and thank you for your video and the message it brings, God Bless you. ❤️🙏
It's Losing mam not 2 O's
God has healed me of 3 things. A bad back, instant healing, nothing to do with my faith. Wear and tear in my knee, I prayed every time it hurt a short simple prayer every step I took. Its been healed for 20 years. Bowel problems. It gets healed but I have to be consciously ready to fight in prayer for healing because it keeps trying to come back. I know my scriptures, pray and do not doubt. I spend a lot of time praying that I will have faith and not doubt but it is worth it. Somethings take more prayer than others. I am as certain as I can be that without the strong notion that Jesus can heal and wants to heal my friends and myself would have been dead long ago. Not everyone gets healed. Only Jesus knows why but if scripture says pray and do not doubt I will do everything that I can to pray and not doubt.
I myself love the works that our Lord gave Justin to do also love the works of Answers tv such an important place to get great Biblical programs for such low cost, bless you all in Jesus name.
Praise God for these young adults and their love for His Word and desire to stay true to Him-and for JP for guiding them in the RIGHT direction-such an encouragement to me today.Thank you for making this interview available.
Justin Peters is a Godsend. I stop dead in my tracks to listen to anything that he says, because he truly does have the best interest of the body of Christ, in mind. He seems to be a busy guy, so I look forward to chatting his ear off, at somepoint in eternity.
Bless all of you for a great and inspiring show, and thank you Justing for your insights.
This has been a real eye-opener for me. Thank you so much. What did i get out of this? Repentance is not a work that i do. It is a work of God that He has led me to, and i have a way to go in this process [not work] of repentance. i never heard of sheep-centered ecclesiology until now. i used to be a supporter of TBN , but i see such a smorgasbord of pastors, many who are false teachers that i can no longer support TBN.
Justin, help us a little here. In the Gospels, Jesus and his apostles commanded folk to repent. Likewise Ac 2:38; 17:30 and elsewhere. So, does God grant repentance as a sovereign act that we receive passively? Or Does God grant to us an opportunity to repent, since he certainly was not required to do so. There seems to be a flaw in the logic of Reformed preachers who have declared repentance to be a work that has no merit, yet God commands it, aside from the Law. Help!
Repenting doesn’t seem like work to me. It’s changing directions thinking differently. Turning from sin is not work.
Especially for someone like me who's on several medications due to ailments, some of the drugs you have to take to deal with sickness can really open you up to strange feelings and internal unrest. I ALWAYS have to come back to Gods love and clear my mind with the simple fact that He will NEVR leave us or forsake us. It's been such a lifelong process and I'm in alot of pain, but the lies I've endured has taught me alot about my own nature, fragility and dependance on God. Even when it seems He has ignored my pleas for help.
The false churches are often huge prosperity word of faith. I am grateful for the ministrie of Justin Peters because it is hard to escape a cultish church, but he help me. TX from Norway
Let us not be fooled! We do not want to be one of those who will be turned away on that day when men stand before God. The way is narrow, and the road is straight, and FEW be that find it.
Matt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Verse 22 MANY will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Verse 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.

Matt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.
Our sin has set us all on the road to hell and no amount of good will fix the sin we have done. We have ALL sinned. It is not about the type of sin or how much sin. It is about the fact that we have sinned. For that reason we need a Savior.
If we want forgiveness for our sin and peace with God. If we want to escape eternal hell. If we want to go to heaven we must understand the following. We DO NOT get saved (go to heaven), get right with God, forgiven, by being good, by being religious, by just believing in God, by praying a prayer, being baptized, asking or accepting Jesus into our hearts, accepting Jesus as our personal Saviour, confessing our sins, joining a church, cleaning up our lives, doing penance, taking the bread and the wine, or doing all these things accumulative.
Salvation takes repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Acts 20:21. testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Make no mistake. We cannot be a friend of Christ and remain a rebel against God. The word repent, from the Greek word “metanoia”, means a change of mind or direction.
God is not receiving those who almost or kind of repents. It is like the word About-face which is a 180 degree turn. We turn from not wanting God fully in our lives to willfully surrendering to Him to lead our lives.
When any person comes to the place where they are broken over their sin toward God to the point that they want to get right with God no matter what it will cost them they are in a state/spirit of repentance toward God. Luke 14:33 Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
We then take that heart we have towards God and place it on the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Master and that becomes faith. At that moment God’s grace through Christ is freely applied to us and we are born again, saved from eternal hell and sealed by the Spirit so that we will never again return to the practice of sinning. Eph. 2:8,9, 1John 3:9,10.
Our first command after salvation is to be baptized.
Repentance of sin is the result of the new birth/salvation and will be part of the sanctification process and our new life with the Lord Jesus Christ, Eph 2:10. While we may sin from time to time after salvation it will never again be our practice 2Cor. 5:17, 1John 3:9,10.
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
REV. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
I'm praising God that He gave me a local church that has: 1) a plurality of elders 2) is focused on those already saved 3) that gives expositional preaching of the scripture, and 4) has church discipline included. It took 4 years of hunting and two times of becoming discouraged, but I was guided to it by a pastor on the other side of the country from me. I thought, "Well, I should go try it as this is not something that makes sense - how could a pastor living on the east coast advise me on the west coast?" And yet, it brought me to the above-described church.
A Note for the Ladies: We have an even more intense calling, in my not humble enough opinion. That is the calling to raise children to be godly men and women. That's a HUGE task, and we get to some of these little ones (usually our own kids) before what the pastor or preacher says ever gets to them. So take heart! If you are a woman with teaching skills in the area of the Bible and it's understanding and proper application to real life, with the help of your church elders, seek a spot teaching Sunday School. Remember: He who has the children owns the future.
It is good to hear what Justin says on these modern prosperity preachers. However, let us not forget the older heresies of Roman Catholocism and theological liberalism.
Your “crew” is blessed indeed. It is a joy to read of your finding a NT based fellowship. It is sad to see NT church principles abandoned for something considered better. I agree, the role of a Christian mother is among the most influential any person can ever be assigned. God designed women specifically to fulfill this ministry.
I love reading the comments. Satan has so many workers who jump onto videos like this in order to try to cast seeds of doubt and create disorder. When the negative comments, sprinkled with bits of scripture, appear because someone who is approved by God (imho) speaks truth, it makes the devil crazy! Salvation is an amazing study and as Justin said, be a Berean and do the work yourself, taking the Word of God in context.
Very true indeed. That's why hell will b full of these God haters, both d unrepentant deceivers & those deceived🐐 whom r following/supporting these wolves🐺
I just love Justin Peters so much. He's opened my eyes so many times. Amazing person🥰🥰🥰🥰
First John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. So, John 3:18 Believers are no longer condemned, but unbelievers are condemned already, because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God. The only sin that can keep someone out of heaven is unbelief.
First John 5:13. These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. No guess work there. John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me HATH (PRESENT TENSE) EVER LASTING LIFE. Life that lasts forever.
Repentance is going from unbelief to belief.
Romans 6:23 For the penalty for sin is death, BUT, (the good news) The GIFT of God is eternal life. Not faith and not a reward for good behavior. The GIFT of God is eternal life. Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent me, that ALL that seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on Him, may have everlasting life, and I WILL RAISE HIM UP ON THE LAST DAY.
John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE, and shall not come into judgement, but is passed from death unto life. Gods word, and He cannot lie.
God is not the author of confusion. The second we believe, trust in the gospel, we are sealed by that Holy Spirit of promise unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 1:13-14. And grieve not the Holy Spirit in whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30.
The gospel. First Corinthians 15:1-4. That Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures, That He was buried and rose again on the third day, according to the scriptures.
Romans 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek;
Romans 3:26-28 For He is the just and the justifier of them that BELIEVE in Jesus. Where is boasting then? IT is excluded. By what law? By the law of works? Nay,. but by the law of FAITH, Therefore we conclude a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the Law. For by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified.
First Corinthians 1:21 For after that, by the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching to SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE.
The great commission. Go into all the world and preach the gospel. First Corinthians 15:1-4.
Galatians 1:6-9. Though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you, than that we have preached unto you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. As we said before, so say I again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received from us, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
The gospel is good news. Jesus died for sinners. That is good news. Once we believe it we are saved forever even if we never believe it again. Second Timothy 2:13. If we believe not, He abideth faithful, He cannot deny Himself. Ephesians 1:13. Hebrews 13:5. For He hath said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU. John 10:28-29. And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Gods word.
I hope by now everyone knows where you are going whenever you die. We have Gods word on it.
Faith comes from hearing, hearing by the word of God. Romans 11:6. Romans 4:5-8. Since Jesus paid the debt of sin we owe God, we can no longer be condemned John 3:18. All our sins were paid in full on the cross when Jesus said, "IT IS FINISHED". That is an accounting term, meaning PAID IN FULL. John 3:18.
The simplicity of the gospel. Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved. Period.
Now that we are saved, we should become a disciple. But discipleship has nothing to do with salvation. Salvation is a free GIFT from God. Romans 6:23. Discipleship is for rewards in heaven, First Corinthians 3:11-15, and to keep from the chastening of the Lord. Colossians 3:5-6. The wrath of God comes on the children, believers, of God who are living in disobedience. Never loss of eternal life.
And if we say we have no sin, we are deceived and the TRUTH is not in us. We are not perfect in the flesh, only in the Spirit. Colossians 2:13. The new birth did not eradicate our first birth. We still have our old sinful nature till we die. First John 1:8.
I love Justin Peters. He is one of the people that God used to help bring me to Himself. I one day want to meet him so I can fellowship with him and talk with him.
Hay,ive struggled with this,aswell,I remember around when I got saved and who lead me in salvation prayer,but your not the only one who forgets when they got saved, But you know what a lot of these people that are definitely sure when they got saved and it was years and years ago. You know sometimes I wonder about that. Is that really true about? Remembering a specific date now. If you just recently got saved and you really aware of it. And you remember I can understand that. But it's easy to forget day's date's times the week. All that stuff whatever and you know, so don't feel bad that you forgot. All that when you got saved. The most important thing is that you are saved and God loves you. God bless you and have a great day. And I love this man justin justin peters
❤... love Pastor Justin... you youngsters are gorgeous.. 😊
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12
Not only must we repent, we must also forgive.
"Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:9).
Not by works is true, of course, it doesn't negate Mark 11:26 and Mathew 6:15 "But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."
@@kristoferevins5790
There is only one sin which CANNOT be forgiven--rejecting Jesus Christ as your Savior. In other words, none of your sins can be forgiven apart from the precious blood of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:22). God is willing to forgive a person of ANY sin, except the sin of not coming to God the Father through the cross of Jesus Christ.
@gldesmarais9356 I agree again, I truly do. But no scripture you give will contradict Christ's words. But will work together, in unison for clarity. More what I would question is, does "belief" or "faith" mean a work. I would say no, because nowhere in scripture that I can think of are we lead or taught to believe in that way. It's commentaries that teach us to think it is a work.
@@kristoferevins5790
Believing is NOT a work. Romans 4:5 plainly states, "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."
God grants repentance the second we believe on the name and blood of His Son.
He just described the teaching of a lot of Churches of Christ.
I attend Griffen road Church of Christ in Davie FL .Join us Sunday 9:30 for bible class then worship service.
But never forget Justin, "Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, shall be saved." ANYONE! God offers salvation to anyone who calls upon His name. Calvinists are great at not understanding John 10. False DOCTRINE is teaching the TULIP found in calvanism, and preterism and amelleniulism, that many times goes hand in hand with it.
Amen!
Even those who do not love and believe in Jesus???
@@Κριστίνα-ψ4μ believing alone on someone does not save. I can believe in the existence of king Charles but that does not make me subject to him unless I matke him my king and let him have lordship over me. Just believing that Christ exist and He died for our sín do not save you. True salvacion is a change of heart that involves repentance and understanding of our sinful and fallen state and that Christ alone and only Him by the power of His blood through His death and resurrection is able to save us, when? When we come to Him in true repetance receiving Him as our Savior and making Him our Lord. The mere believe that the gospel is true does not save. We must repent; and forsake our old life, our flesh and all its desires that are contrary to God, that deshonor Him and commit to follow Him. In that we demostrate we are truly save. "By their fruits you will know" the fruits do not save us but they are the evidence that we have been truly saved
@@Κριστίνα-ψ4μ What exactly are you asking?
John 6
Justin Peters is an idol worshiper. Is he saved? Deut 6.4-6, Mark 12.28-32, John 17.3, John 20.17, Rom 15.6, Rom 16.27, I Cor 11.31, II Cor 11.31, I Tim 2.5, Rev 3.2, Rev 3.12, and many other scriptures.
We are not lost sheep! Never was.
We were gentiles!
Great interview! Thanks for sharing.
What a great interview!
Justin is a Calvinist, this means he was chosen by God for salvation before the foundations of the earth. Based on that alone Justin was saved when he was born. There need not be a conversion moment in his life. Justin's only obligation is repentance. Saying he "thought he was saved but was not" is not possible, based on Calvinism.
I agree. Justin Peters work about prosperity gospel was very helpful, excellent. But they (Calvinists) seems to be blind in the truth that "God wants all men to be saved, that grace is a gift one can accept or reject, etc. " May they ponder it over, for the these truths are clearly spelled out in the Bible. To God be all the glory alone. God bless everyone.
Don't listen then...good bye...no problem...bye
I watch Justin and I love him he is one of the few real preachers out here that we can trust
I've been watching you on RUclips quite awhile and I like the way you teach your message and always for the watchers to search the scriptures for ourselves. Keep up the good news
Pastor Peters has , as many other pastors, taken the responsibility to point to us believers, which ministers are teaching non biblical truths and are condemned by God’s law standards, yet, he has not perfectly done so. I reject his calling false who is or are not. EXAMPLE: He has in his list of false teacher a wonderful Christian woman who uses only biblical verses for her emotional books, that are full of the great love that Jesus has for us and what He has given and fulfilled for us, the pure gospel and the assurance of God’s presence and joy, and peace, and rest in Him. The Scriptures are her only inspiration and her life, full of dedication with God’s guidance in her writings, attest to her love for God, His scriptures and His people. Mrs. Sarah Young writings are a joy to read and the love of Jesus is in all her written pages. She is a true Christian and child of God. She, with her minister husband have been missionaries ,preaching the true gospel of our Lord, and faithfully giving Him praises, thanksgiving , glory and His love teachings to all. Her many Devotionals , naming few: Jesus Today, JesusCalling and Jesus Always , precious to all who read them, especially women who love Jesus, has not been read , I am sure, by pastor Justin Peters because if he had, he would not mis-represent her as a false teacher, because the Bible that she writes about is not a false book, it is the Word of God.
My family appreciates Answers in Genesis team AND Justin Peters! What a bonus to have you all together. Justins testimony was helpful to hear. Like this new channel!!
i i i made, i i i look within
look to jesus..yes.
i dont trust you justin.
No where in Gods word does it say to repent of your sins
Repentance in relation to salvation is simply going from unbelief to belief
BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS AND BE SAVED
FAITH ALONE!!
What a stupid way to define repentance. Was it Joseph prince who taught you that?
Let me teach you about it from the bible:
Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
By the exposition of the sermon, the person has to feel convicted of their sins, how is someone convicted? By remembering their evil deeds and knowing you are guilty and need a saviour.
Repentance is knowing you WILL GO TO HELL for your evil actions and NEED A SAVIOUR to forgive you so that you may not end there. But again.... what can we do if people follow evil teachers......
Stay with scripture and dont listen to evil teachers, SOLA SCRIPTURA
@@harryperez7745
That’s not me defining it, that’s what the word actually means (the irony of you calling that stupid)
Joseph Prince certainly doesn’t believe in faith alone
The word repentance means to change your mind.
You changing your mind is you going from unbelief to belief
No where in the Bible does it say to repent of your sins
Again, the irony of you calling that stupid
I’m not here to argue or be ugly, just trying to make sure the gospel of salvation is clear and it’s simply about BELIEF so says the the Bible… 1 John 5:13
God bless
Amen. Accepting Jesus as the only way of salvation apart from any works, Romans 4:5, Romans 11:6, Acts 16:31. Repentance is going from unbelief to belief. John 3:18. Believers are no longer condemned to hell. But UNBELIEVERS are CONDEMNED already because they have not BELIEVED on the name of the Son of God.
Saved forever or not saved at all. Romans 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, First Corinthians 15:1-4, for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Why does Jesus tell the churches in Revelation to repent?
Repentance A change of attitude and action from sin toward obedience to God. The concept of repentance differs slightly in the Hebrew and Greek minds, but an emphasis upon right behavior is consistent throughout.
what do you do if there is no sound church near you yet you desire to be with your fellow believers
First, repentance is NOT required for salvation. Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-9. Second, Mr Peters is a calvinist. He said God has to grant you repentance for salvation. So God chooses you, you don't choose Him. Completely not scriptural.
Add to signs of false teacher , a man who constantly quotes from other books, and encourages others to read those books, and of course his book. We should always point people to the pure word
Next week: some other guy explaining why he's right and most everyone else is wrong, including his past self.
WHT dint you explain the truth. Why tiptoe around it
Good one.
I had good morals I knew right from wrong my mother was a Christian she taught us but I didn't realize my goodness wasn't salvation but when God touched my heart it brought me to repent and I repent daily because I am in the flesh a thought can be sin unbelief is sin not trusting God for all things is sin but being born again is a daily walk with God a tree doesn't grow overnight it takes time to bring forth fruit our works have nothing to do with it his spirit will purge your heart for he the only one that knows your heart
I truly appreciate Pastor Justin Peter's as his teaching and calling out false teachers blessed me yrs ago, but I don't believe his view or belief that woman are not called to pastor... but at the end of the day we as human can't get it all right
An ex-friend of mine is an elder in Jonathon Chan's church. She almost worships him! His church also has tables set uo at the back of his church where you can buy all of his books and shofars and assorted trinkets! (Just like the money changers in the Temple). Chris Rosebrough calls him Jonathan CON.
Now, how can you be so fooled into thinking you were a Christian for SO LONG?
And in a Christian home. That's sad. I am a pk and it took me a long while.
I like Justin peters, helping guide lost sheep to salvation. I have so many questions that most Christian’s do that are in conflict with what the Bible says.
Are we supposed to go to a place called a church? Are we not a church? Does the Bible say anything about a church being a place? It says in revelation about 7 churches but could it be interpreted as 7 different time periods? I’m stuck on this. Thanks
Repent of Sins for Salvation is False. Repent in Greek is Metanoia and that means to change your mind. Change your mind about the Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 .
Truly, the SBC does not preach/teach the following:
The Gospel/Good News (1 of 2): Believe in your heart and receive atonement, propitiation, and His forgiveness of all sins for all time, through the shed blood, and one time death of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God. By grace through faith. Ref. Acts 26:18; Ephesians 1:1-10. #Passover #Alpha
The Gospel/Good News (2 of 2): Believe in your heart and receive the promised inheritance of His salvation, through being baptized, sealed, and kept, with the Holy Spirit by the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, in order to bear much fruit of the Spirit to the glory of Abba, Father, forever. By grace through faith. Ref. Acts 26:18; Ephesians 1:11-23. #Firstfruits #Omega
The Fruit of the Spirit:
1. Holiness - Romans 6:22; Romans 11:16.
2. Love - Galatians 5:22; John 13:34.
3. Joy - Galatians 5:22; Isaiah 61:1-3.
4. Peace - Galatians 5:22; John 14:26-27.
5. Patience - Galatians 5:22.
6. Kindness - Galatians 5:22.
7. Goodness - Galatians 5:22; Ephesians 5:9.
8. Faithfulness - Galatians 5:22.
9. Gentleness - Galatians 5:23.
10. Self-control - Galatians 5:23.
11. Righteousness - Ephesians 5:9; Matthew 6:33.
12. Truth - Ephesians 5:9; John 4:23-24.
The one who has ears, let him hear.
I remembered that I was saved in April of 1968, but I can't remember the exact day...I think it was on a Tuesday or Thursday😮.......😮
Are you too Proud to correct yourself?
By the way for you who say you FOLLOW the word of God: name just ONE, that is right just one Scripture that says Tongues or Healing has ceased or will cease before Jesus comes back after us. YOU cannot but that obviously does not stop you from lying about the Holy Spirit.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF and perhaps a little terrified to suggest lies about the precious Holy Spirit of God. I understand God is so merciful and we are saved by grace through faith, that is faith in who and what Jesus is and has done for us including the resurrection of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. But to lie about the same Holy Spirit is shameful!
Have you found me that SCRIPTURE YET? Of course not and I assume these days that the MacArthurs and Peters have gain enough knowledge to no longer falsely use the 1 Corinthian’s 13 verse. Your Cemetery or is Seminary training has really messed things up for you concerning true revelation of Jesus. A NOVICE can read 1 Corinthians 13 and know it is not talking about Tongues ceasing, nor prophecy, nor knowledge until Jesus returns and we know as God knows us now….PLEASE!
Let me back up and say no personal disrespect intended here but your teaching is so demon filled concerning these issues. Although it was before Christ resurrection and a new spirit was available to believers yet Jesus told the Devil to basically shut up when rebuking Peter just after Jesus congratulated him on his revelation of who Jesus was. So Mr. Peters the devil is using you and that is no simple matter!
You have NO SCRIPTURE from the Canon of scriptures us simple people call the Bible to back up your claim…NOT ONE! And if you have eyes to see and ears to hear in reference to the Holy Spirit in you, then neither can you even give an “principle” from the word of God that spiritual Tongues and Healing have ceased.
Are you too proud to apologize and correct yourself?
If there are contradictions to the words of God to a believer the he still not know Him
I find it very hard to call anyone my favorite minister/preacher. Especially because over the years I listened to my Mother-in-laws chats.
It is if everyone she meets are some god/dess until they trip up & then for weeks she 'll repeat how disjointed she is in this person (I almost what to scream at her what have not learned from the Bible that we all are sinners don't put your trust in ppl)
I have many different ppl that I'll follow for a season but but I try to go to the Word & measure according to what it says.
As many-many ppl I got shocked into real life when the truth on some mega churches came out, it woke me up to how easily we can be decieved by others if we do not do our own prayers.
That is how the Roman Catholic reigned for so long. Ppl were illiterate and ppl perished due to lack of knowledge.
Yes knowledge aint every thing love is, but love for God and my neighbor ❤️ must be the rule, but without Gods Word in knowing it I can't love either.
Thank you JP for reminding us to be rooted in Gods Word and not man
"Young people" are not the only ones who need to learn! I get so tired of hearing that phrase. I'm 63. I doubt anyone excepting 80+ year olds would call that "young". Thank you for this informative and helpful video.
Repentance is not a work, just line a cry for help is not a work. No one will praise someone drawning who cries for help. A work is something you do which is worthy of praise. Repentance is the contrary to work. It's the statement that "that's nothing worthy in me" and a cry for help. Repentance comes when we realize that all our good works is garbage for gaining salvation. It is however, the fruit of salvation.
Did you notice at about 3:30 at the question about him being a pastor vs preacher? Best highlite ever! A preacher is an evangelist! Every "preacher" in the Word ALWAYS speaks to the lost! Amongst the most famous preachers include, Noah and Jesus! Wow.
And the Job of a PASTOR? They lead you to the food. Then you eat! Are you eating fresh food found in the word or are you being an eater of regurgitated food? Yuck! This is the only way to apply Acts 17:11!!!
This made ABSOLUTELY no sense to me. Hope somebody can explain. He said he believed the gospel, but repentance (a work of God, not him) was not there. When he understood this, he was REALLY saved? So........God's work was not done till he did what? Believed the gospel harder?
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing! I was so confused about what and when he believes he was actually saved. I know I'm saved; not because I've repented enough or believed hard or good enough, but because Jesus Christ lived and died in my place, paying for every sin, and raised from the dead 2000 years ago to freely give me eternal life. I believe and accept that truth for myself. There's nothing for me to do but receive what's already been done. And, I do not believe that we can just go on sinning. I hate sin and want what Christ did for me to save me. That is faith! Believing God's word!
@@leighastjohn8612 Since we will contend with our fleshly bodies until we get our glorified bodies, we will sin. But we have an advocate with the father if we do.

I love reading the comments; beautiful testimonies of all of your experiences. 🙏❤️
Just peters also teaches that God doesn't heal anymore because he wasn't healed, I dont trust Justin peters, the big problem today is that a lot of people that call themselves christians they put their faith in man they love their pastor but they don't love God If you are a true born again Christian you don't need someone to tell you who's a false prophet the holy Spirit is a Christians teacher not man Jesus plane said that the anonting abides with in you and you don't need no man to teach you the holy Spirit is a Christians teacher not man, going to a seminar dosent make a person a preacher God is the only one that can do that, be a student of God's word,in second Timothy 2;15 we are told to study God's word to show ourselve approved unto God a workman that needs not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth, a lot of so called preachers have a form of godleynes but they denie the power of God, they are spiritually Dead,
We have one teacher who is The Christ there is no other mediator. Few of you should be teachers - how can you teach unless you are called! Few are called - why are there such contentions between teachers - answer: because most of them are not called! 😢
When he says he wasn't converted, he means he wasn't a Calvinists yet.
Calvinism is a man-made theology.... Salvation is in Christ Jesus alone as moved by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is inerrant and our only authority.... God bless everyone.
He hasnt said that...why do you slander?
The gospel is so simple! We just have to BELIEVE in the finished work of the cross. These Calvinists have a different gospel and a different Jesus.
@@John3-16 they believe that too friend...they just go into detail...its meat not milk.Deeper things that Apostles taught that was in the bible
@@amerielvescor8759you are right! The only thing I want to point out is the little leaven he talks about are in all the modern translations of the Bible. The only true Bible without corruptions is the Authorized version of the 1611 KJV Bible and previous translation before King James died in 1625. Do your research folks on the origins of the Bibles. All bibles after 1611 Translations are corrupted and leavened by the Vatican check out the Jack Moorman Forever Settled chart of the Preservation of the text.
Church is for the saved to prepare for witnesses
I'm amazed every day at what God is doing. Revival is in the land, and God is calling his troops. Nobody can convince me that we are not in the last days. This should give us all something to think about. It's absolutely possible to be a believer without being a born again Christian. Congratulations, Brother Peters on your true conversion to Christ! Glory to God!
You are absolutely correct one must seek the scriptures for yourself. Many people think they are Christians but have yet to experience the “conversion”, and thus the “Born Again” moment; a very dangerous place to be indeed!
I thank God for my natural skepticism and not just taking the word of someone else’s understanding of the Bible, but rather my need to seek the Truth for myself!
I had searched for the truth ever since I was a little child. Never approaching religious dogma but rather science and physics in particular. I was a person that needed to understand things in order to believe in them.
Although I was not interested in church nor it’s rituals, being a Catholic by tradition not choice, I did believe in a creator God due to the complexity and organization, and majesty I observed in nature.
In a turn of events in my life I came to the utter realization that “science” was never going to save my soul. It was at this point in my life that I joined a little non-denominational Christian church, walked down its aisle October of 1991 and received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I was prayed over by the pastor and told at that moment I was saved and going to Heaven. Really? That’s it? I didn’t feel any different, my motives, thoughts, and desires were exactly the same as before. Am I suppose to just take this Pastor’s word and trust what he says? I think not!
This is when I decided to dig into the Holy Bible with the same fervor and zeal I had always studied science. I didn’t submit myself to any denominational doctrine or any pastoral authority, but rather bought the King James Bible on CD and decided to listen to it passionately in those wasted hours during rush hour traffic. This was a total of 15 hrs of word a week for over 3 years. My reasoning was if what pastors are using to teach and guide their congregations is the Bible, why not study it on your own? I’m certainly not going to trust my soul to some guy with what I saw as a man made degree in theology; my eternal destiny is way too important for me not to do my homework!
My biblical endeavor allowed me to not only have scores and scores of scriptures memorized, but also entire CHAPTERS memorized verbatim, word for word. I could tell you what is in the Bible, and what is not. I had a tremendous amount of scriptures in my head, yet the true meaning and understanding of them had not yet DOWNLOADED into my heart.
This would soon change one Saturday morning March 25, 1995 while alone at the beach in my car, listening to Hosana integrity Worship music, reading the Bible, and loving God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength! That day I remember reading to “love your enemies”, something I could never see myself doing; how can you possibly love someone causing you harm? This is something that to me defied all understanding! I remember putting my Bible down and looking up to the sky with my heart simply overwhelmed with love towards God and fantasizing about how beautiful it would be to be just like Jesus!
Suddenly it happened, it really happened, I saw something open within my mind and all that word I had accumulated for years came rushing in, and in that one sweep powerful things took place. First I felt the DEMONS that had lived inside me all my life and I never even knew were there jump out of me with a hideous screech. Second, my eyes were opened to a spiritual realm that is hidden to us in plain sight. And third, my brain processes had skyrocketed to levels I never knew the brain was capable of!
I sat there in my car trembling in fear not knowing what was happening and asking God for help. Of course He obliged by bringing some of those memorized scriptures to the forefront of my mind:
“My son, if thou wilt receive my Words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the FEAR OF THE LORD, and find the KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.”
(Proverbs 2:1-5)
When I picked up the Bible and looked at its pages it was simply unbelievable! The Words had become Holographic, as if they were hovering just above the pages with 3-D like qualities! No contradictions whatsoever! There is no way man wrote this; I thought! The Word’s perfection was staggering! Every parable, every scripture I didn’t quite seem to understand before, was as plain as if reading a children’s book!
“Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my Spirit unto you, I will make known my Words unto you.”
(Proverbs 1:23)
“All the Words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.”
(Proverbs 8:8-9)
Everything the Bible speaks about was TRUE, and I was experiencing it first hand!
“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:”
(Proverbs 2:6-11)
It was also while I was experiencing all this in all its splendor that God revealed to me the True Gospel! It was then I was shocked to realize “Oh my Lord! This means we’re not suppose to sin at all! Once again the fear of the Lord flooded me! I had sinned all my life, I had been told that we are sinners by nature; I was convinced that it is impossible not to sin, but now it was as if I’m going to have to live the rest of my life walking on egg shells! That’s impossible! I thought; There is no way I can do this! The Lord suddenly showed me that no one makes us sin, but rather we CHOOSE to sin. It suddenly dawned on me, you’re right Lord, I know what it’s right, and and know what is wrong, I will just “choose” to do what is right! I don’t have to sin anymore! I was full of excitement and joy ready to start my new life walking in the FAITH of the gospel! I couldn’t help but burst into tears when I realized God had planned this moment from the beginning of time when I read:
“But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13-15)
People, I have taken the time to write this long post as a testimony of God’s love and faithfulness to those that diligently seek and love Him.
The Bible is “GOD” in written form:
If A=B , and B=C, then A=C
A=GOD , B=JESUS, C=WORD
If GOD=JESUS,
and JESUS=WORD
then GOD=WORD
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the WORD WAS GOD.”
(John 1:1)
But as it turns out the WORD is also the HOLY SPIRIT!
“It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are life.
(John 6:63)
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD OF GOD.”
(Ephesians 6:63)
So the equation is now :
GOD = WORDSPIRIT or G=WS
When God takes the BEAM out of your eye spoken of by Jesus that hinders you from SEEING CLEARLY and you realize those WORDS are speaking to you once the HOLY SPIRIT enters you, it turns the equation into:
G = WS^2 (squared)
Now doesn’t science claim that everything is made out of “ENERGY” which they have shown is E=MC^2 (squared), hmm what a strange coincidence.
“By the WORD of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.”
(Psalms 33:6)
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my WORDS shall not pass away.”
(Matthew 24:35)
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my WORDS, hath one that judgeth him: the WORD that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
(John 12:48)
HENCE THE IMPORTANCE OF FINDING OUT WHAT THE “WORD” HAS TO SAY!
God Bless.
Amen!!!
He’s a Calvinist. How can it be a false conversion.
A lot of misunderstandings of God’s Word will be rectified by observing 2 Timothy 2:15. We must “Rightly Divide.”
And then seek the true Gospel for salvation today in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
The God of Israel does not dwell in bldgs made by mans hands, hes not a Sunday am ritual, that's the other god
Hey Justin, what about the Gospel of Grace that our Risen Savior gave to Paul?... Don't you know about it?... So far you never talk about it...I observe a mixing of scripture!... I'm very surprised!.... And you keep saying sheep!... Paul, who is my Apostle never says we are sheep!... Come on!...2Tim.2:15.. KJB 📖😇
This is the major problem with so many “believers” today when they talk about “being converted”. Christ was not looking to make converts but was looking for disciples. What’s the difference? The only requirement for a convert is that you simply believe by giving mental ascent to the preliminary requirements that we all must meet, such as repentance, baptism, and taking the sacrament etc.. But a true disciple is someone who has forsaken everything that they have (Luke 14:33). This is something that you do not just give mental ascent to but it is something that one needs to experience. How a person obtains to this calling may be different but the goal and life transforming experience will be the same for all. When is the last time you heard this preached in any church? This is crucial to one even understanding what it means to be born again. So just like the young rich man who kept the law and seemed to have everything but yet lacked one thing, all these educated men and women who have their degrees and doctorates seem to have everything but yet lack one thing. Many are called, but few are chosen!
He did all sorts of stuff in me. I didnt see, hear or believe in Him. I was almost blind and quite deaf. He did so much in me for so many minutes and years my eyes and ears began to heal, and I decided to believe. God did not read, listen or believe or appreciate for me.
He's a Calvinist and basically worships John MacArthur.
MacArthur teaches some false doctrine, outright lies, and attacks other Christian churches.
What about when Jesus said you would do greater works, or was that just for first century church? and life and death is in the power of the tongue and you will eat the fruit therof?or is that words can build up or knock down people
I attend not a church but a gospel hall that doesnt have pastors but elders/leaders is that okay?
I have the same question as you...but no answer still🤷♀️
Thanks for this. Much of what was discussed confirmed what I already believed to be true. It was a relief for me.
Some preachers are popular because they point to the Bible and lift up the power and truth of the word of God. Your style, however just makes people question everything about Christianity because it's confusing.
Any tips please on how to approach family members who think they're saved but I'm pretty sure aren't?
Live the gospel before them, pray for them, be there when they experience difficulties, encourage them to Bible study and fellowship, and share truth with them when opportunity affords. Only God knows hearts and He loves them more than anyone else can. Obtain excellent topical tracts and booklets for use when you find opportunity. The best opportunity for a solely religions person to come to believing faith is exposure to truth. One booklet I have found to be an excellent and thorough explanation of the gospel is a booklet by Alfred P Gibbs (a church planter and evangelist now with the Lord) titled “God’s Good News”.
Your example Show them
Amen, dear Pastor Justin, you are so right about women NOT being pastors, elders, or even deacons! I know of some churches who have women who "serve" called deaconesses, when the scripture plainly says that a deacon, just as a pastor, should be the HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE! Now, what does that tell us?! LOL, I heard of a little boy saying the wife of an apostle (no apostles today, though) must be an epistle!😊
I'm sorry, but Justin has said that he is not a pastor. He doesn't have a church of his own. He's an evangelist.
Justin is not a pastor. He's an evangelist.
My mom went to seminary and has a master's of divinity. She went just to learn more about God. She is well grounded in truth and would never preach.

This is the first time I heard about zero compromise and the first time I heard about Justin Peters, I was listening to yout conversation and I agree with most Justin Peters said, and I can see that he has a good knowledge of the scriptures when he said that goats cannot turn into a sheep, a sheep is always a sheep even before he is saved.. that is exactly true and Jesus revealed that in the parable of Wheat and Tares... Jesus revealed that the sheep(wheat) are the children of God literally and the goats(Tares) are the children of the devil literally... Jesus revealed in this parable that there are only 2 kinds of people in the world, the children of God literally and the children of the devil literally.. The children of God are the descendants of Adam because Adam is the true son of God in Luke 3:38.
Therefore the doctrine that we are little gods is biblically true, because the children of God are little gods.. But only the descendants of Adam are little Gods...
Psalm 82:6 proves this: God Himself said:
"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."
WOW! So His yoke is NOT light and His commands are BURDENSOME! And the peace He gives you doesn't surpass all understanding? Being rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the kingdom of light is just a so so experience for you! Having a Spirit of love and of power and of a sound mind is (I guess) something you gotta work for? No wonder you are NOT singing a New Song but a poor me story?
Do you find any JOY in serving one another in love? Or in the process of purifying yourselves just as He is pure and helping others do the same (1 John 3:3)?
LOOK AT COLOSSIANS 3:25 < That's what's really going on in and out of the church! SUFFERING?
Deuteronomy 28:47-48 AMP
[47] "Because you did not serve the LORD your God with a heart full of joy and gladness for the abundance of all things [with which He blessed you], [48] you will therefore serve your enemies whom the LORD sends against you, in hunger and in thirst, in nakedness and in lack of all things; and He will put an iron yoke [of slavery] on your neck until He has destroyed you.
You all seem to be going to the Scriptures without the LORD! Without relying on Him to give you understanding of what His words are saying? Ignoring His presence is > Well....... It just ain't too smart is it > 🤪
Authorities interprete the bible not you

Thanks for listening!
If you believed in the gospel then you were saved.
yep and keep working for your fruit like love and all especially the poor.
We are not saved BY work but saved for works.
some thoughts on ‘repentance unto life’ (Acts 5:30-31, 11:17-18, 2Timothy 2:24-25):
. . in Scripture, repentance basically means both a change of mind/thinking and a change in direction - which God gives/grants to us, in His mercy & grace
. . when we are initially saved, God first opens up our minds to know who Jesus Christ is - the one eternal Son of the one true God - the Lord - and what He has done for us
. . God then gives us a heart-deep faith/trust in Jesus Christ, a heart-deep devotion/allegiance to Him (through which we are united to Him - ‘in Christ’ - becoming partakers of His sacrificial death for us & eternal resurrection)
. . and the effect/fruit of that is we turn to follow Him
. . which will be evident in our lives - despite our failures, being hindered by our yet being fallen ‘in ourselves’
. . God does not have mercy on us because we are good, He has mercy on us in order to make us good - we are works in progress
. . if anyone is unsure whether they have genuine, living, saving faith - we can humbly/trustingly seek it from the Lord
. . for those who believe are born of God (John 1:12-13) - God the Father brought-us-forth/gave-birth-to-us by the word of truth (James 1:17-18) (‘word of truth’ = ‘the gospel’ - Ephesians 1:13) - we are born of His Spirit, through His word (John 3:7-8, 1Peter 1:23-25)
. . faith is also described as a freely given gift of His grace to us (Eph 2:8-10; Phil 1:29) . . and 1Corinthians 1:30 - of God are we in Christ - being united to Christ through faith is to be ‘in Christ’
. . and I’m convinced that just as Jesus did not turn away the blind seeking sight (Matt 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 4:17-21) - so too, in His grace & mercy, He will not turn anyone away who wants to see-to know-the truth (1Tim 2:3-4) - and so find rest for their souls, becoming partakers of the living water (Matt 11:28; John 7:37; 2Cor 4:3-6)
. . sometimes ‘repent/repentance’ is used in a broad sense which includes faith - as in turning away from trusting in false gods, turning back to the true God by trusting in Christ (e.g., Acts 11:17-18, 17:29-31, 20:21, 26:17-20)
Remember that satan and his demons believe in the gospel. They know that repentance and receiving and following Christ save but they themselves are not and will never be saved and that is why because the know the gospel is true, they are Hard at work to detour believers and keep the lost blinded
