I struggled with a muddy understanding of grace and salvation until, after some earnest prayer, God directed me to Andy Woods during the first lockdown in 2020. Thank you Lord for this wonderful teacher. Please bless him and preserve him. He is much needed.
I agree with you. I've questioned many things I've been taught over many years and I've prayed about them and I believe the Holy Spirit directed me to Andy Woods. Excellent Bible teacher and I'm glad he speaks out against calvanism as its a false doctrine but many will speak out against the prosperity n the NAR churches, yet accept and even endorse calvanism. Doesn't make sense.
Brilliant teaching. Thank you Dr Andy Woods. God bless and protect you and your family. Let's pray for Catholics to listen to these teachings ESPECIALLY This one on SALVATION so the truth can set them free John 8:32
Love this entire series, Dr Andy. It was from watching messages from this series that allowed the veil to be lifted from my eyes in terms of much false doctrine I was under for several years. Dearly appreciate you. Thank you and God bless you.
Me too! I’ve learned so much about the rapture and eschatology and so much more on Revelation and Daniel and Genesis etc... more so than I’ve ever learned at church and BSF. Thank you so much!!
As a new believer, I studied theology at university without knowing what I was doing. I just wanted to know the Bible better. What I got was a lot of higher criticism and unbelieving scholars to study. There was some good stuff, but It was disappointing to say the least. This is the type of teaching I've been looking for all along. So thankful for Andy Woods.
Progressive sanctification doesn't come without struggles in your Christian walk! In my thinking, I like to time travel back 5,10,15 years and compare that to now and fact check myself! Have I grown spiritually, did I stumble, fall, and get back up, did I struggle with sin, were there times when I thought it wasn't worth it? Yes, to all of it. So, I know from experience progressive sanctification is needed for us as Christians to grow up spiritually.
Our progress has been massively retarded due to the poor doctrine embraced by nearly the whole Christian world for 2000 years. How could we grasp the truth of salvation when nobody within the church taught it? We are all victims of Roman Catholic heresy, Calvinism, Charismatic theology and cultism in general. A few over the ages actually read Paul's writings and at least published abroad bits and pieces of the truth but they went largely irrelevant until recently. Without Dispensationalist THEOLOGY the Bible is a jumble of contradictions. You cannot reconcile Peter's Gospel and Paul's Gospel without it. You cannot grasp why we are truly free from the law without fully understanding the revelation given, in the New Testament, only to Paul. No one else ever knew about it until he told them. We are like Luther. He apprehended Paul and shouted to the world the 'Solas'. But then he fell flat on his face in allowing his truths to be adulterated by turning Lutheranism into a state religion.
Ive learned so much from Andy Woods! I love His teaching and his heart for righteousness. Andy Woods does it all! Thank you for your faithfulness. May the Lord be with you always Dr. Andy woods and you all who are reading this ! Maranatha!
Thank you so much Andy woods! You are a teacher's teacher. I keep coming back to so many of your teachings and gleaning every single time. I praise God for you and for your walk and obedience to Him.
Thank you Pastor Andy for this teaching though I’m not sure if it’s the teaching of your previous video. However I am always happy listening to all of your teachings whether new or old , following from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. God bless you Pastor and your entire ministry.
And I’ll add this too that it was because of Andy’s teaching on Soteriology that my mind was set free of Calvinism, which I didn’t know I had but I did and that was because I didn’t know what it was, yes I led a very sheltered life doctrinally, but that’s all changed with Andy’s excellent teaching on many topics including The Coming Kingdom. I’m no longer tossed by every wind of doctrine. Thank you Andy. I’m more able to express and explain the Gospel more clearly now and I can pick when a false Gospel is being presented too. Studying with your Soteriology series helped me achieve that skill.😊
Dr Woods teachings have been such a blessing of understanding. More than anything I want to keep a teachable spirit and sometimes it means unlearning what You thought was in context and it was taught outside of content and context. In reality covid has been a spiritual blessing being stuck at home with a disabled husband and my own immune compromise system. We are I our mid to late 70's.
I love this series! It has been so helpful to me! I’ve appreciated listening to the one on election vs free will (two times now!) as well as the ones on “Lordship salvation” and “easy believism”. You have helped me grab a stronger understanding of correct theology! Thank you for putting the “cookies on the bottom shelf”!
Absolutely. 100% agree with you that the “gospel of salvation” is one spiritual belief we can’t have two different views about. It’s the key message running throughout the inspired Bible . It’s God’s revealed plan for redemption✝️
Showing myself to be a fool, if I am not saved by what Jesus did and my faith in Him, then I won't be there in heaven but I will be in hell. If I am saved by confessing my sins and repent and speaking in tongues, I'm not going to make it. If I have to be a good person then I am lost. It's not that I am against confessing sins and repentance and people who speak in tongues and trying to be a good person. I just can't rely on what I do, but what Jesus did on my behalf and the gift of faith I have in Him. Otherwise I am terribly lost.
GOD WANTS YOU TO ATTUNE WITH GREAT WORK COMING TO PASS @PRESENT!!! HOW DOES ONE ATTUNE WITH GOD??? BELIEVE IN HIS SON WHO IS HUMAN AND WHO IS NOT GOING FLY FROM THE CLOUDS!!! NOBODY WILL BE SAVED HERE; ATTUNING WITH GREAT WORK LOOKING TO THE CLOUDS!!! ARE YOU LOOKING TO THE CLOUDS??? PS. 17:10 FOR HE DID NOT BREAK THRU THE HEAVENS AND DID NOT MAKE THE MYSTERY MANIFEST,BUT CAME DOWN TO EARTH SECRETLY,LIKE RAIN UPON THE FLEECE{ps. 71:6;judges6:37},BECAUSE THE INCARNATION WAS SECRET AND UNKNOWN,AND HIS COMING INTO THE WORLD ORDER WAS HIDDEN
@Samson 001 Those looking to the clouds in no way can Savior of world snatch one in such darkness from the dead. Every human has free will here and will be held responsible for their choice they will make// one will either be snatched from the dead or not~~~one will either twinkle or not~~one will either be saved or not~~nobody escapes what soon comes to pass son of mans days are numbered like noahs were and if you knew new name had your white stone you could claim your in heaven here rev 2.17
I do not really understand when Paul said, Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." I also don't understand why a person needs several sessions on soteriology in order to know if he has made peace with God through Jesus Christ. If it is that complicated then I am cursed to hell by sharing a false gospel. If it is this complicated then I give up. I won't share the gospel with anyone because I may be damning myself to hell. Keep my hands to myself.
Just share with others how Christ has worked in your life. You love Him because He first loved you, right? How are you different today then you were before you were saved?
"Work out your salvation with fear and trembling." is a commonly misunderstood scripture. The way I understand it is that God has granted you salvation, so do the works God has given you to do and that go along with salvation. I also understand it could mean to examine yourself to see if you are in the faith because many people think they are saved but really are not. I do know it does not mean works contribute anything to salvation and a person can work for it.
Therefore God does all the work: First He creates the Universe, Man and Paradise; Man sins and Paradise is cursed (and all creation); Then Christ saves Man on the cross; And yet, what did Man created in the image of God do? Nothing? He was only asked to have faith in Christ, because everything else was already done! Sorry, but either this narrative is incomplete, or it is inconsistent with a Man created in the image and likeness of the Creator!
It is very insensitive to not purposely empathize with millions who cannot fellowship with other Believers. The odds of finding a place is very small. Here’s the breakdown: 1) no Church nearby. 2) no good Church nearby. 3) no Christians nearby. 4. Only super “churches” that have swallowed up the community Churches 50 miles around. 5) guitar churches for the young people. 6) various cults. 7) etc.... It’s not like it used to be. This is a very current reality. No one will take a little dying or dead community Church and build them anymore. It’s not lucrative enough. I’m not making this up.
Great Word, and I learned a lot. I would recommend not using the word “human”. Hue-man or color of man is a fiction and if accepted, you are admitting to being a corporate person created legally by the State. Just say man.

I’m so jealous you gotta like from AW himself!

What a great teaching on soteriology, much needed in these days with so many Christians confused on this issue. Thank you brother

You can find the full playlist of Soteriology uploaded the sermon audio* app I do believe he deals with that verse and the Greek involved.
Saved?
In order to be a disciple you have to pick up your burden bearing donkey and follow Jesus.
Matthew 24 is not just for the Jews. Nothing in scripture indicates this
Its about the Jews redemption in the tribulation very clearly.
@@NWLegacyChannel Er there is no scriptures saying this is just for the Jews only. You saying so does not make this true
