Repentance Deniers Are Not Saved! Christianity 101 What is Biblical Repentance unto Salvation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- We look at repent and repentance unto salvation and the forgiveness of sins in accordance with the Bible to uncover the truth of what Jesus and the Apostles meant when commanding people to repent and believe. I reveal who the actual Biblical repentance deniers are who have a false works gospel that won't save anyone.
#Repentance #Christianity #SavingFaith #Faith
When you believe the gospel you already repented because you changed your mind from not believing the gospel to believing it.
So you only repent once ?
@@mick9371 You repent every time you change your mind about something, it is not exclusive to the gospel.
Amen
Yes one time repentance from unbelief to belief in Christ as savior👍🏻
This is for salvation, repenting of sins is for our growth and sanctification.
God Bless
Otherwise u just got catholicism..
NO ASSURANCE of HEAVEN "@mick9371
Great teaching Brian. I have been fighting this for decades (that Repentance needed for salvation is to change your mind from "I'm a good person... to, oh dear I'm a sinner & only Jesus can save me" & that it's not Repenting/turning from sins that is required for salvation...as if one could).
I have to constantly battle that and the many mature seasoned believers, even Pastors that conflate Justification with Sanctification. And Calvinism, and Mary worship, and cessationists, and Baptismal Regenerationists and...Give me strength Lord.
Isn’t it ironic that the deformed rally against this so-called easy believing, yet they prevent others from getting into the kingdom on the grounds that God has already made up His mind as far as who gets to be saved, so might as well not even pray for your own flesh and blood to get saved because their fate has been sealed!! Mind boggling, I tell ya!
@@jars7774 Yes, so true. But it's been 👿 first & favorite go-to "Hath God indeed said?"
👿 "Surely, God only wants some to irresistibly turn to Christ & not all. Now go be a purveyor of Calvinism for me...mwahahaha!!"
It's a challenge but a "fight" worth fighting. May I encourage you to keep it up. In the end we will be victorious and it will be worth it all.
Amen and Amen!!!!! Repent "of your sins" is absolutely a WORK !!!! Acts 16:31
King James Version
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!
Faith without works is dead genius
We are saved by Grace and not by works lest any man should boast. But there you are boasting of Work, and I'm troubled that Faith in Fire did not correct you...?
@@davidc4233 works of the law genius
Acts 26:19-21 KJV
Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: [20] But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. [21] For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
Do we really want to say that repentance is optional? Or that turning from sin is works salvation?
I don't think so. Those who truly are in Christ understand that it's his redemptive work that makes our salvation possible. How we enter into that looks like repentance.
When we think about the Ninevites we see that the left off their sinning and received the word ... the fact that they turned from sin was proof of their repentance.
Thank you! I’ve been a Christian for years and this is the clearest I’ve ever seen this issue presented.
So sad to see so many not understand the necessity of repentance. Saved by faith alone, but cannot be saved without true repentance. This is the reformed perspective.
"All who call (a "work") upon the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED.". Jesus
Forgiveness is a gift, praise God! I sin every day! But I don't walk in sin deliberately, I pray about changing my thoughts that cause me to act contrary to God's will and purpose for my life. He is so faithful, I see growth and praise His name! Our thoughts must align with God's Word, not my will but His will be done.
Easy believism is biblical. The gospel is easy enough for a child to understand.
I agree that the Gospel is easy enough for a child to understand, but the reality remains that most people are on the wide road to destruction for having rejected believing in the Gospel of Christ. Easy believism is a term used by those who mock the True Gospel so I would avoid that phrase for affirming the true Gospel.
God made salvation easy precisely because He wants everyone to be saved, but people's pride prevents them from believing.
@@faithonfireministries oh I didn’t realize that was a mocking term. I go to a reformed church and some of the people there mock “easy believism” but like you said a lot of people won’t believe. Anything harder than easy doesn’t make sense to me. For example let’s say you have faith the light turns on when you flip the light switch. 99% of the time it will work. If we believe on the lord Jesus Christ it should be easier to have faith in him than the light switch since it’s impossible for God to fail.
@@zyxwfishWhy do you go to a Calvinist church???
The real issue is Jesus predicted Tares, false Christs and disciples. Regardless of your soteriology, there will be fake believers. You cannot add works to salvation but you can examine your self. Scripture teaches the fruit of the spirit, sanctification, obedience, discipleship, christlikeness.
This is truth biblical teaching. Amen hallelujah.
Thank you! I mourn the sins that I still commit. I cry. But I still do sin. I am blessed that I am covered by the Son of God. I hate my sin. But there are things that I still do. I also am so amazed by the forgiveness of sins I have committed in the past. Bless God!
Keep on. I’m impressed by your transparency and humility. It shows you’ve truly come to the light. Now comes the battle of feeding your Spirit more than you feed the flesh. There’s a Hope. Galatians 5:16.
I’m in the trenches fighting the same battle that you are. Just keep on!
Thanks for your honesty brother! We all have some sin issues we are fighting and that's the walk of a believer. With prayer and Gods power of the Spirit in us we have victory! You will have many victories in your walk with Christ I know it😁👍🏻
@johannamcfall2207 Learning to hate the sins you have trouble with is the fullness of repentance
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9
Wow Brian, you have explained repentance in a profound way I’ve never heard before! Thank you for your ministry
Stick with the KJV. All the new versions of the Bible get rid of every single time it mentions God repenting. It’s because the Catholics had an influence on it in an effort to redefine the term to “penance”
Going from not believing Jesus is Messiah to BELIEVING Jesus IS Messiah.
Easy peasy.
Amen Amen Amen!!!! We need clarity! Studying is crucial! 💜
Joh 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.
LOVE is the key. When you love Jesus you will desire to please Him and know Him and become like Him, a true disciple looks like their teacher
Well stated
best explanation for people to understand repentance ❤
Brian, this is the best video you have ever put out! Keep up the good work.
OSAS=Once Sealed, Always Sealed!
Thanks so much for the compliment. God bless you!
THANK YOU!!!
The simple, humbling Gospel of my Lord Jesus is what I fell in love with.
I think these sorts of
"constant sin repentance" people are uncomfortable with trust.
Constantly asking "what must we do to be saved?"
Jesus responds "trust me..."
"But what must I do?"
"...trust me...."
"Yeah but..."
"Just trust me!"
They are like someone giving the "guilty" confession in the courtroom,
and being offered freedom and a plea deal.
And then coming back to the court the next morning, banging on the door demanding to give a confession again.
It's a long road, Jesus just wants you to look to Him, take a deep breath and hold His hand. He'll get you through this, just love Him, just trust Him.
The key to overcoming sin is replace it with love.
Listening now Brian, thank you for covering this. I like to use Jonah 3:9-10 as a great example. (use KJV as new versions change the word repent to relent) Niniveh repents (changes their minds) and God also repents (changes his mind) and doesn’t bring judgment upon them. Change your mind from whatever you think is getting you to heaven and believe on Jesus Christ. The simplicity of the Gospel has been lost on the better part of todays church
Thank you Brian for clarifying this issue. You've cleared up a lot of confusion. Adding works, any works, to grace makes it not grace anymore at all
Here's a verse that explains further about repentance, meaning to change ones mind, as God did ;1 Chronicles 21:15
[15]And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Repent of your sins to be saved is offering one's own work to be saved
Works of Cain
It isn't. Nowhere in the Bible is repentance connected with "works." It always refers to people that think they are good because they obey God's laws. Also, repentance doesn't earn anything. You're still under God's judgement and he doesn't have to forgive you. That's why it's called grace - you don't deserve it just because you're repented. The repentant criminal before a court is still at the mercy of the judge. If the judge acquits him it wholly because of his mercy, not because he has earned it. And this is exactly why God forgives us (1 Peter 1:3)
@mimisides It is if you tack 'OF YOUR SINS' as stated above.
That is why repent OF YOUR SINS to be saved is stated nowhere. If you think it is, go find a single verse where someone must repent OF THEIR SINS to be saved
I worry that Brian is missing the whole point of salvation. There are numerous passages that tell us to repent, and Brian is correct in saying that the Greek word "metanoia" means to change your mind. But change your mind about what? Brian simply reads into all those passages that it simply means to change your mind about believing in Christ.
The whole issue in salvation is our sin and guilt before a holy and just God. We come to Christ for the forgiveness of our sins,. And justification means that our sins are forgiven and we are declared righteous in the sight of God on the basis of the perfect righteousness of Christ being imputed to us.
But how can you ask for the forgiveness of your sins without genuinely feeling sorry for your sins? Without realizing that the whole way that you have lived your life in the past was wrong, sinful, and offended God?
What the passage in John 16:8-11 actually says is that the Holy Spirit "will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment." (NKJV). "Godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation" (II Cor. 7:10).
Jesus told His disciples that "repentance and the remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations" (Lu. 24:47) Peter told his audience "Repent and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins" (Acts. 2:38).
How then can you come to Christ for the forgiveness of your sins if you do not feel genuinely sorrow for your sins, and want to turn from them? That does not mean that you are going to try to earn your way into heaven by living a better life. The basis of your salvation is the finished work of Christ on the cross. But repentance means that you want to turn from your former sinful way of life and live for Christ going forward. And you will do this as a result of salvation, and not as its cause.
I agree with you. Brian is dead wrong on this
I use to say, how God could condemn and send a person to hell if they deceived by a false teacher. If in person's heart, they believed they were doing what God wanted how would Almighty condemn them. The answer is, God does not leave us naked, he will always send someone to you with the truth. But the deceived person likes the lie so much that he rejects the truth. This is what is occurring here. I can't believe all the likes Brain is getting. Brain is 100% wrong and he need to be careful. He is going to be responsible his soul and others.
The more you ❤ God each day 🙏 The more you will despise sin each day
AMEN! GREAT JOB! OF EXPLAINING THIS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC.
I NEVER, in all my experience as a human person, realized what you are telling us here! REPENT (by changing our minds) is what we're commanded to do! WOW! Thanks!!!
Wonderful explanation so true!pharisees of are day that want Christians bond but we are free in Jesus Amen!! Thank you ❤
Thank you for exposing the ROYS heresy.

Amen! God repented (changed His mind) several times in the Old Testament. He changed His mind about bringing judgment in those cases.
Thanks Brian I want to be a better witness thanks Brian on the subject of repentance !
spot on! Thank you for your exegetical teaching
Good job Brian. So clearly taught that even a Calvinist would be able to understand it! But then again.......
Christ is our righteousness and our sanctification. 1 Corinthians 1:30: "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption"
Pensive is an English word which means to be in thought, and the French have the word penser which means to think, so in English the word repent simply means to rethink or think again. It has nothing to do with feeling sorry for or divesting oneself of bad habits or of bad conduct.
Interesting! Thanks for that insight.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
I guess Brain believe, you can hate Jesus and be saved. You just have to accept Christ as savior but you don't have to do anything he says.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments is too complicated for some people. They have to go to the Greek to figure it out and see if "keep" means "keep" or "commandments means commandments."
Brother, look forward with excitement every time you post a new video. You have the best Christian channel on YT (I never compliment anyone). This video should be mandatory viewing by every new believer, you've covered all the truths, and uncovered all the lies. God bless!
1 Corinthians 6:11 NASB95
Such were some of you; *_but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified_* in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
Great Bible verse! Thanks for sharing and for the very nice compliment. God bless you!
Hebrew word for repentance is teshuvah, meaning return, as if returning back to something you have strayed or looked away from. This would make sense in what John and Jesus was saying about repenting. And what Peter when asked what must we do to be saved. But you can't leave water baptism and say its not required, its actually commanded....why? Because is repentance you turning and changing your mind and ways back towards God, your spirit is literally starting to be born again. So then where is forgiveness of sin if not repentance? Peter said Repent and be baptized in Jesus name for the REMISSION of SINS. What is REMISSION? Remission of sins in baptizing is the forgiveness of sin, pardon, release and cancellation of a debt, deliverance from captivity. The water baptism is a sign of your repentance so you can't say you don't need forgiveness or remission of sin by baptism, its literally commanded. They should be seen as one going together, Repentannce and baptism in Jesus name. And receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. Born again of spirit (our spirit repenting) and of water (baptized inns name for forgiveness of sin.). Neither repentance or baptism or receiving the Holy Ghost are works, they are obedience to the word of God. We are therefore saved by Grace lest any man should boast.
Thanks for this post, it explains repent just how it should be , 😊
Good teaching Brother !! Spot on. This is the clear Gospel.
I've watched you for a while. I could feel the hair on the back of my neck start to rise. Thanks for the clarification.
Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
What death? Death on earth or eternal death? The verses you are bringing do not contradict by grace through faith. You are making a mistake by assigning certain meaning into the text. Sinner who is not converted from his error can still be saved in heaven, his life might be taken sooner than it was intended to stop him from sinning, but he still would be in heaven.
@@georgelopez3146 that isn't what James says. You adding that to scripture yourself.. we all die and even godly men die early. This verse is speaking of eternal death.
@@chrisanok9283 it's gotta b speaking of the sin of disbelief then
Jesus told the harlot to “Go and sin no more.” We should listen to every Word He said. Teshuvah in Hebrew and Metanoia in Koine Greek. Turn away from sin and back to God. Change your mind about sin. Free grace folks think that they can repent once and go back to living like the world loves them to live. His audience understood what He meant.
It sounds like you’re saying that one who has BELIEVED the gospel of Christ for their eternal salvation, is born of God’s Spirit, justified by Christ’s blood and sealed by the Holy Spirit, can be eternally condemned by sins of their flesh.😢
If so, you are denying that Christ’s shed blood is the propitiation, the ONLY propitiation, for all sin. You’re saying there is another way to be given everlasting life, which is not the gospel of Christ.
As I am a so called "free grace folk" there are a few in the group that believe as you stated but the majority of the ones I know and others that I have had contact with do not. We understand there are consequences if we think the way you mentioned (one such is not loss of eternal life given by God because eternal life is eternal).
First, one needs to have an understanding that once a person trusts Christ alone for salvation we are spiritually born again (John 3). As a child of His we can lose fellowship with God (1 John), miss out on blessings, lose rewards (1 Corin. 3:10b-15) and face the discipline (child training) of our heavenly Father (Hebrews 12:5-6).
Second, because some free grace believers may abuse their freedom in Christ doesn't mean we need to change the salvation message He has given to us in his word.
Scripture is clear that eternal salvation is received by believing the gospel (1 Cor 15: 1-4, Romans 1:16). It is not of works (Romans 4:5, Titus 3:5), it's given as a gift (Romans 6:23b) & received by trusting Christ as Savior.
@@krissyyoung9264 it means they were never saved in the first place. “Depart from me for I never knew you” is something He will say to people who swore by His name and claimed wonders. People can say anything, but Jesus will know our heart. If you practice sin, you are a slave to sin, he also said. He told us to repent, not continue in sin. His words.
Repenting is not a work. It’s just following His literal words. It also shows love for God by obeying Him. It’s just evidence of salvation, not the mechanism for it. We are probably having a misunderstanding I think. I think the reality is if we have a true conversion and we are justified by his blood, then we aren’t going to want to sin. The people who swear that they are saved by his blood and continue to sin and have no conviction about it, do not have the Holy Spirit. If you can sin and not feel bad about it then the Holy Spirit is not convicting you which means he’s not with you. That’s what I was saying. And I’m using the proverbial you here not directed at you.
Thank You!
Thank you sincerily - so true.
Once you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you spontaneously understand why He had to die for you personally. Your gratitude will compell you to live a life of witnessing to His glory.
*Acts 16:30-31*
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house.
Repentance unto salvation (faith) is different than repentance after day 1 Christianity (1 John 1:19, Mat 3:8, , Luke 17:3, Luke 17:4, Heb 10:26, 1 John 3:4-11, 1 John 5:18)
Thank you Brian,
I thought about staring a channel also but when I see how good you and some others are doing at making the gospel so clear I think... I couldn't say it any better so I'll just support you and pray the Lord continue to use you for the true gospel brother!😁👍🏻
The Jailor in the book of Acts has not been told by the Apostles to repent. Why? Because he already saw and realized the Apostles are servants of the most high and he asked them: Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they responded directly: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved and thy house. So the Jailor already repented and therefore only needed Faith in Christ at that point.
They did not play the Ray Comfort and expose his sins and then say: Now clear up your act and stop lusting after women that you are not married to, stop swearing and do this and that and THEN Christ may accept you.
Ray Comfort IS a Calvinist but seems to be ashamed of it. I asked him point blank if he was and he replied. I walk carefully through the Tulips.
😢😢I have believed the wrong way. Brian thank you. I mean that.
You repented.
This is my struggle. I look at my inner house and am appalled by how gross it is. I even did the "well, I'll clean first and then it'll be okay." But then I realized, I couldn't. I can't. This mess is too big. Calvinism basically verified what I already believed. I never knew I was Calvinist leaning until it was shown to me. They are a cult. Shame on them for leading people astray. How many are out there suffering, worried sick about their salvation? I was one. I'm not anymore... I pray with all of my heart that Jesus comforts those who live in constant fear. It is a real thing.
Glad I kept with the video as at first I thought it would be a works salvation video. Good job brother!
Excellent teaching. Thank you. Keep 'em coming!
Yes, I will. God bless you!
Yes, that is salvation by your performance which is exactly what we are told in Eph 2:8-9 it is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest a man should boast. I believe repent is as you said, changing our mind to understanding we are sinners in need of a Savior and put our trust in what he did on the cross for us. There have always been sin deniers and they must repent and believe. 1 John 1:5-10 is dealing with sin deniers, calling God a liar. The LGBTQ people belive they are born that way and deny they are in sin, the drunk has been convinced he is ill and therefore cannot help it, thinking it is not of his doing, so he doesn't believe he is in sin, he is told he is ill, they are blinded by the god of this world, and not believing God. Good video.
Matthew 9:13 "But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
James 5:19-20 "My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins."
Awesome video broey! Repent Ye and believe the Gospel!
John teaches belief because actions follow one's beliefs.
Change your mind from believing your ways and believe in God's ways...you don't change your mind and still walk in sin, you change from walking in the flesh to walking in the spirit. Changing one's belief leads to changing one's actions to align with Jesus Christ. Does the Bible teach that drunkards and adulterers will enter into heaven or not? Read Romans chapter 1. Rev 2 & 3 Jesus said the churches need to get their act together or else they are not going to heaven...
Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Rev 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
"I've worked in IT for decades and enjoy educating my clients whenever I can. This video reminds me of a guy I once knew who leaned in close and said, 'You shouldn't be letting customers know how to prevent or fix problems-you’re ruining your job security.' In a similar way, I think these so-called 'Men of God' you mentioned keep people confused about their salvation as a way to stay relevant and necessary. Put another way, if people believe that only the 'Man of God' has the answers to their deepest fears and questions, then they become a 'customer' of that 'Man of God' for life.
Note: I'm using 'Man of God' as a generic term for whatever he calls himself."

Joh 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Joh 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
Joh 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
You're exactly right! NLT sure enough has it in Acts 3:19 and in 2:38 also. The Living Bible actually says "change your mind"!!!! I thought the NLT was supposed to be an upgrade over the LB, but it clearly is not, at least not in these 2 places. KJV, NKJV, ESV, RSV, NASB, HCSB get it right. You taught me something today! God bless you
I remember a story of a funeral for a drug dealer. The drug dealer grew up in the church where the funeral was taking place. The pastor of the church eulogized, "I know that this young man is in heaven right now, because I witnessed when this young man made the decision to follow Christ." That is what 'easy believism' wrought Brian.
Thank you!

Like the NLT, the book of Mormon also directly says, "repent of your sins".

There is an old saying, "Make sure you know why a fence was placed before you tear it down."
Brian claims that pastors for years have been preaching repentance wrong, and in some ways, he is right.
The problem is that Brian goes to another extreme of 'easy believism.' The most balanced approach we can take is to teach that repentance is not something you do to obtain salvation but that it is evidence that the Holy Spirit is doing a life changing transformation ongoing work of righteousness in the believer.
No one expects a baby to run, we do expect a healthy adult to run the race to win
I believe repentance is a change of heart. If you do something bad and realize it afterwards a repenting heart feels the pain.
Yes, but this video is about repentance in the context of our eternal salvation.😊
@@krissyyoung9264 True, and he mentions repentance is a change of mind. But God knows your heart. Do you have a hardened heart? Or, do you have a heart filled with the Holy Spirit? 💖

Nice explanation of repenting
"How you describe and define 'repentance' totally dictates what I just said" ~Brian, @faithonfireministries
So, true. Let the Bible interpret the Bible.
Repent (according to the dictionary): to feel sorry, self-reproachful, or contrite for past conduct; regret or be conscience-stricken about a past action
Repent (according to the Bible): Change your mind
According to the dictionary, 'repentance' is an emotional experience. Remorse doesn't necessarily result in biblical repentance (change of mind). Let the Bible interpret the Bible. Don't let the dictionary or culture determine what the Bible says.
Repentance is a life long journey - as we grow closer to Jesus and are transformed into His image, from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18).
What scripture does say is if your brother sins and won't repent, consider them an unbeliever.
I agree repentance for salvation is a change of heart and mind when you hear the amazing Gospel of Salvation, but I believe you must realize you are a sinner in need of a Savior or you don't really know why you need it. Then once you are a true believer and received the Holy Spirit, I don't think the Holy Spirit makes you feel guilty. The Holy Spirit reminds you af your righteousness in Christ and encourages you to follow Him and continue to repent. Change your mind and heart of wrong beliefs you might have. I used to think the extreme guilt came from Satan. But now am realizing it is our own self condemning/judgemental thoughts. And if we are self condemning/judging, we will do the same to others. We must keep our eyes on Christ. We will fail, especially when we think we won't, but God never fails. The more you realize you are forgiven by Christ, the more you will love and forgive others:
"Therefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little." - Luke 7:47
This is a great teaching brother! One need look no further to see the true gospel than to look at the juxtaposition between how Paul treats the Corinthians, who he refers to as brothers and sisters even though they are practicing just about the worst sins one could imagine, and the Galatians, who are practicing a form of works righteousness, and whom Paul never refers to as brothers and sisters. He actually says you foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? Sometimes I wonder if these works righteousness folks are reading the same Bible as I am, because I don't know how you read the Holy Scriptures and come to the conclusions that they do.
My Bible says a lot about repentance. In not one instance when it comes to salvation is the term suffixed with 'of/from your sin/s'. Makes me wonder if there's some sort of Christian Mandela effect going on. Repentance has nothing to do with turning from sin but is a re-think or change of mind agreeing with what God says about provision of salvation through His Son that is appropriated through faith plus nothing else.
Amen💕
The basic meaning of the verb, metanoia (to repent), is to change one’s mind (A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature). It can either be seen as a positive change or negative. Either way, repentance always seems to be associated with a change in behavior. This is especially true in the Bible, both OT and NT. The following definition bears this out:
metanoia: to change one’s way of life as the result of a complete change of thought and attitude with regard to sin and righteousness (Louw and Nida, Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament Based on Semantic Domains).
Because anyone who truly believe the gospel of Jesus Christ will turn away from old life of sin, but we are not perfect and anyone who turned away from the old life of sin it's not our power that we shun evil it's the power holy Spirit that's indwelling in us and God bless us all.
In 1 Corinthians 3 we learn that the carnal Corinthians did not turn away from their old life of sin, and Paul affirmed them as the Brethren, believers who are saved and Paul said they are temples of God, indwelled by the Holy Spirit. And because of that, he rebuked them for their sins and exhorted them to stop sinning and be good witnesses for Christ, but he did not condemn them by saying they were not true believers who are unsaved.
Jesus Christ came to give rest from the works of the law unto salvation hence the term Lord over the Sabbath as stated in the verse below;
Matthew 11:28-30
[28]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
[29]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
[30]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Salvation is now assured not based on our works, but we're assured by placing our trust in the complete work of Christ as stated below;
Romans 3:19-20
[19]Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
[20]Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 4:5
[5]But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND YOU SHALL BE SAVED.
All the manmade religions, including the ones that name Jesus as their lord, all say the same thing. Repent of your sins. Surrender your life to Jesus/Krisna/the Guru/etc. Do good works. EARN heaven/beneficial reincarnation/etc. Every single one. That is the broad way that leads to destruction that many go in thereat. That is the way that seems right unto men.
Excellent vid bro!🙏✝️
Not a works based faith....but a works evidenced faith.
God's Only Son Permits Eternal Life!
😇🙏💪
-Good works are not always a proof a person is saved. Check out Matthew 7:22-23; these individuals were doing good (at least they thought they were) the Lord states "I never knew you".
-Also the absence of good works is not proof one is not save. See 1 Cor. 3: 10-15 where at the judgement seat of Christ (the judgement of Christians only for rewards) there will be some that will have their works all burned up but yet they will live eternally in heaven.
@billadams6232 I totally get that. Faith with no works is dead. Works with no faith is dirty rags.
God HAS good works for us to do.
I'm living in Christ Jesus and clean. Rather than dead and dirty.
I repent of giving my parents a house that they promptly reverse mortgaged and now that both are gone I either have to buy it back or let it go. I received a negative inheritance from them.
Bummer!
@@faithonfireministries Somehow at the time I thought I was honoring God by honoring my parents. But the truth was they were poor because they were unable to have money and be wise with it. I see that NOW.
wow 17:28 around thad time was like i needed that.. im an addict keep relapsing.. been through rehabs 12+times so that wont work since i belive its better then vefore since 3 years or so but still not perfect.. but its ok how it is.. i accept more and it even weights less and get better..
(but i did walk without real repentance but try to get better and doubts)..
while it sounds easier how you saud it.
so thanks
Regards from Kragujevac, Serbia bro 👍🙏
Why do so many people think Paul is NOT a 13th Apostle and just made up a gospel of his own and called it,"His Gospel?" I didn't know about this and it does have something to do with "Changing your mind," to a new unknown better gospel.
I don’t quite know if it’s correct to say that they aren’t saved, but I agree with most of what you’re saying
SEMPER FI!
Truly turning TO Jesus IS the act of repentance. What don't both sides get about this???
Eternal salvation is not received by "turning toward Jesus"; this is a human work and the Bible is clear that salvation is not by our works (Romans 4:5, Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:8-9), that it's a gift of God (Romans 6:23b, Eph. 2:8-9), received by believing on (trusting in) Christ alone as Savior (Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16).
Repentance related to salvation in the original language means a change of mind only.
Jesus says go and sin no more serval times in scripture. It is demonic to say, "believe in Jesus," does not also mean to behave in the manner that Christ asked us to. So what, if you know Christ is your savior but you refuse to follow his teachings. What you are saying is to accept Jesus as savior and keep sinning and everything will be alright. What spirit told you to say that?
😮💨
You are not understanding or refusing to listen.
When in this video did he ever say "continue sinning?"
It should be obviously understood that as a Christian believer in Christ we are called to put away sin and pursue being like Christ every day.
But playing a game of "Shoots and ladders" is not living with Christ in the midst of your sinfulness.
Will you make a video about James 5:16 and Mark 11:23-26 and how to use this for healing.
Thanks
Ezekiel 3:21 "Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the RIGHTEOUS SIN NOT, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul."
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 " Know ye not that the UNRIGHTEOUS (those that sin) shall not inherit the kingdom of God? BE NOT DECEIVED: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Romans 6:16 "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
Romans 8:13 "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."
Act 26:20
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
What are people changing their minds about, is it not sin? The word Turn is also translated Convert.
Act 3:19
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;...
[2Co 7:9-10 KJV] 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Whenever the Scripture says, " Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved", It is never intended to mean you believe without Conviction of Sin, or Godly sorrow for your sins. Both are the work of the Holy Spirit. Has Nothing to do with Works of the Law.
1 John 5:1. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God…
So what are you saying Brian - that we come to Christ, we believe on him as our saviour, but we continue on with our sinful life? That there is no observeable change in our lifestyle?
If you are truly saved, you will turn from sin as well.
Really? Have you turned from your sins since you were saved? God will find no sin in your life?
Narrow is the path to heaven, wide is the way to destruction.
8:09 you're Brian, nelphi 27:19 has the literal phrase, in transparent to the repent of sins doctrine. Oh wait, that's the book mormon. So basically, anybody who justifies the doctrine should call mormons their brother. Ray comfort, john maccauthor, and students have some explaining to do.
We get our (gentiles) doctrine from Paul (Eph 3:3/Rom 11:13/Gal 2:7/et al)
Sir, I have some questions and anxieties I’m dealing with right now regarding my salvation.
I hear what you are saying. Yes we agree that we cannot earn our salvation and it is a gift. In fact Jesus Christ is our salvation. BUT, Do you believe you can loose your salvation? You can walk away from God and reject Jesus if you choose. What about Forgiveness. Jesus was emphatic: IF you do not forgive others God will not forgive you. So repentance is not just a 'one time thing'. Just like faith; discipleship and repentance: It is a ongoing walk. When you know some of the greek tenses you know that believing God and discipleship is in the present tense. Repentance is not just a change of mind just like faith is not just of the mind. It involves the will; the heart and the mind. God knows who are His children but God expects there to be 'fruits of repentance'. That's NOT a work. That is just the outworking of the Holy Spirit working and changing peoples hearts.
There is no such thing as one time repentance, otherwise you would never sin, it's a lifelong process
Out of curiosity, you've said charles lawson is one of your favorite preachers, but he preaches the opposite view of repentance for salvation. Is this just one thing you disagree on?
