Thank you for taking the time to make this, responding on the same day, no less. I'm not here to argue for my position; I was just curious what you meant. If I understand correctly, these steps you've developed are akin to a theological statement on salvation that you've compiled, drawn from your understanding of Scripture. Your gaming community outreach sounds very interesting. Paul found a way to relate to people of disparate cultural backgrounds. This is an example worth emulating.
I’m new to the conversation but went back and listened to one of your earlier videos. From what I gathered, you had no peace when you were under Piper’s teaching, I can understand that as I don’t think Piper rightly understands justification, I am a confessionally-Reformed Protestant who had the opposite experience-it was Reformed soteriology and finally grasping the distinction between gospel and law that gave me assurance and peace. I appreciate your sincere efforts to understand scripture even if I don’t agree with your exegesis of John 6. I can’t see how you arrive at your interpretation of John 6:44-45 applying to a subset of Jews that were present as the text does not indicate that, in my opinion. I encourage you to keep searching and praying through the scriptures.
John 6;45 explains John 6;44, those faithful Jews that had listened to the prophets and were following the word in spirit and truth by faith would naturally see Jesus' miracles, hear His teachings and follow Him.
