I have asked that multiple times while soul winning to people who say that they are not ready. "What is holding you back?" I have to do this or that, etc. I always tell them it is not about what you do for God, but what Christ did for you. You cannot clean yourself up.
Thank you Dr Yankee. I know I am a sinner and I trust Christ as my only hope and Saviour. I know I cannot trust myself, I will never be enough on my own, it is only because of what Jesus did for me. Thank you Lord. Amen.
Me too! I have no hope apart from the finished work of Christ! No matter how sinful I am or how I fail. He was and is enough!
@@leighastjohn8612Amen and amen and forever amen !
Very good truth
Thanks Pastor Yankee for holding firm on this doctrine.
Its TRUTH ...
Wow this is the true gospel.. Amen brother Yankee
Im very blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ Finding brother Arnald Yankee
Eye opening HUGH LOL
STREET PREACHERS PREACH LORD SHIP SALVATION they never tell people john Ch 3 vs 16 in The Lords context they are WOLFS ON STERIODS
Amen! Thank you, Br. Yankee! Your bold & faithful preaching of the Word is much appreciated.
Amen Preacher! Thank you so much for the truth.
Making the Lord Jesus Christ my lord sounds like he's a trophy on a wall
TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THE TRUTH
A Godly Pastor is not afraid to call out the heretics! Amen! Bless You Yankee!
I'm right there with him
Thank you Pastor for holding forth to the word of life.. Here in Kenya, Lordship salvation is everywhere... people here think I'm in error and confused. others are saying I'm promoting a life style of sin because i teach salvation by faith alone through Christ alone .
You are in error
KEEP GOING BROTHER! THERE IS ONE TRUTH, and his name is JESUS! JOHN 14:6. CHEERS
The Apostles themselves faced the same exact accusation, Nyangweso. You're in very good company, in that respect!
Thank you brethren (Morgan and ByHisCall).. The Lord bless you..
@@chrisanok9283 You are deceived and deceiving others. How much works have you done? Is it enough yet to be saved? Has anyone else inspected your fruit by some manmade metrics? You obviously do not understand the context of James 2 by your comments. Did you bother to read Romans 4 or just read that verse in James and stopped? You are justified by faith before God. Before man, you are justified by your works. Faith without works is dead in regard to profitability unto men.
Romans 4
4 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Titus 3
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
Amen Mr. Yankee Arnold. Every born again Believer has a choice as to whether they will yield to the Holy Spirit or Not. This indeed is simply a Walk Issue in the life of the child of God. As a Street Preacher based in Florida, who preaches Faith Alone, I see how rare it is to find another Christian who also preaches faith alone out there on the Streets. Many whom I have encountered preach a "muddy" and unclear plan of salvation, which, of course is no plan of Salvation at all. And the reason is, most preach Lordship Salvation. Whether it is a pastor of a local church, an evangelist, a street preacher, or even an abolitionist standing outside of an abortion Mill, so many have added works to the Gospel. They preach such a confusing message because they have mixed Discipleship with Salvation.
It is truly sad, when so many have corrupted the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God did not make salvation hard. He made it simple and easy. It surely can get lonely some times as a Faith Alone preacher, but I will not compromise on the truth of the Gospel, and as you mentioned, I will not change the message of the Gospel, simply because some Christians are living like the world. Salvation has and always will be a Free Gift, by Grace through Faith. And Discipleship is by becoming a Doer of the word, two separate issues.
@@jamesdiamond2302 hello James, what would you like me to pray for you about, sir?
Could not have been said it better. Just EXCELLENT explanation. I get accused of promoting easy believism. I respond by reminding the person how awful Christ had to suffer during the entire crucifixion process. I refuse to add or take credit for the Gift of salvation why would anyone think they could add to the Perfect Work of Christ.
@@SR-ii3js thank you S R, I appreciate that. Indeed, I do not dare to attempt to take away or to add to the finished, perfect work of Christ. Jesus said, It is finished. He did all the work necessary and all He wants a person to do is simply Believe that He did it for them. As Mr. Yankee Arnold also mentioned in his message, those who add works to Grace, they are the very ones who are attempting to cheapen it. And when they accuse of doing that, I make sure to remind them that The Grace of God is not cheap, but rather, it is simply Free.
@@jamesdiamond2302 okay, sure James. I'll lift up your request. Regarding the not going to Jail part though, that really is up to Him, depending on the nature of the wrong you committed, James. But I appreciate your transparency. We all have come short of God's glory and our Lord knows how to deal with each of us in chastening.
@@jamesdiamond2302 absolutely, you are welcome, sir. I am glad I could be a help.
I will pray that God's will be done in your life. And No matter what happens, just remember that God is good and that His word (The King James Bible) is good.
************** YES , thank you Pastor. Ralph Yankee , For this Very IMPORTANT Sermon. ---- I / WE TRULY appreciate all that you do in your service to The LORD ---- John -- UK. ---
PREACH PASTOR!! GLORY TO GOD!!!!
Amen! 🔥
So many have it wrong 😓
That was the best gospel message I’ve ever heard.
Thank you Yankee for being faithful to Christ and the GOOD NEWS!
@@jamesdiamond2302 I certainly will !
@@jamesdiamond2302
The Bible says it is by belief in Jesus Christ.
What do you need to believe?
The Bible says that Jesus as God in the flesh died for our sins, he was buried and he rose again 3 days later and he will return again.
James, we are all sinners and can’t ever do enough or be good enough but Jesus is perfect and believing who he is and what he did saves you. He adopts you as a child of God and will never leave you or kick you out !
If you believe in your heart Jesus died , and rose again and that he paid your sin debt, he gives you eternal life. You are born again ( spiritually) and he seals you forever and you can not lose this salvation he gives.
Some people pray a prayer acknowledging Jesus and what he did for us. Although that is not necessary, if you want you can pray and tell him you know you’re a sinner and that you believe that he died for your sins and that you accept his gift of eternal life.
After a person gets saved, start reading the Bible. I suggest you start with the New Testament book of John.
The King James version is the best translation but can be hard to understand sometimes so a study guide is good
Find a church that teaches the right gospel ( you can’t earn it or do anything to keep your salvation).
Pray daily and ask the good Lord to help you in this new life he’s given you as you start learning more about our awesome Savior !
Some verses to help you
John 3:16
Ephesians 2:8-9
I Corinthians 15:3-5
And, watch other teachings by Yankee. He clears up so much confusion about what the Christian life is all about.
If you believed on Jesus today, welcome to the family ❤️🙏😁🙌
Amen pastor... Most people don't understand anything about salvation they believe you have to work for salvation and work to keep salvation...In Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God 9 Not by works lest any man should boast we are not saved by works...
It's not of works but there is a striving to enter Into that rest. Paul did say run the race and press on. Paul did say fight the good fight of faith. You can't magnify one verse over another. That leads to false doctrine
@@chrisanok9283 So if you’re right, the bible is a big contradiction then. I read not of works and not of ourselves as that exactly. Then you add in how we really have to do something to be saved. What sort of a book is that?
@@krisjustin3884 Jesus made it clear in the beginning of the sermon on the mount. There is first a longing for righteousness. After a man is saved, he has a new nature. He will bear fruit as a result of resting in Jesus (john 15)..A dead faith is a trick of the devil and is actually no faith at all. True faith is living
@@chrisanok9283 So we have to do something to be saved then? Or we have to do something to show we are saved? It’s not really free at all then! And we have to strive? So Paul’s wrong? It is of ourselves! We have to make sure our new nature is working? And then we have to make sure our faith isn’t dead? Wow! Quite an ordeal to be saved! And who’s right? Paul says the one who worketh not, but believeth is saved, yet James says you have to work as well to be saved and he’s also writing to Christians? Great book you’ve got there!
@@krisjustin3884 again, your missing the whole concept. Paul is saying we don't have to work for faith. It is a gift. James is saying if we truly received that free gift, our desire will be to labor for the lord. We will want to save others whole telling them about the goodness of God. If one doesn't have this desire, it's because they aren't saved.
Luke 7:47 For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but the one who is forgiven little, loves little.”
When one is forgiven of their sins, they have a gratitude towards Jesus that will be expressed in every day living.
Not living a righteous life doesn’t mean you are not saved. It means you’re failing to understand who you are in Christ. You’ve forgotten that you were once cleansed from you former sins as 2 Peter 1:9 says. It’s a walk issue, not a salvation issue.
False..
Amen brother!
First time listener , really impressed with the message and the Holy Spirit working through this pastor. Just Subbed 👍

Fantastic!!
Awesome message of truth
Bless you Man of God. Thank you
Watching again. Still good 👍
Praise God, thank you Dr. Arnold. You have cleared up alot of confusion for me! Its so easy to be saved and man makes it so hard. Mixing discipleship with a free gift is Lordship salvation. Jesus is free🎁🙌🙏
Do you believe there is salvation outside of Christianity?? Can other besides Christians be saved
@@chrisanok9283NO!!!
@@samyoung9365 well a Christian is a disciple, so a true Christian is one who is a disciple according to acts 11.

I’ll pray that God helps you to correctly understand the Holy Bible - Ask God to Help you understand how to Rightly Divide the Work of Truth in (2 Timothy 2:15). If you are Trusting in Good Works to Help Save you; you are Lost and Still in your Sins! Salvation is Absolutely FREE Jesus Christ PAID it ALL!!!

Amen! Salvation is by grace through Faith. Without works.
Faith without works is dead

great message..........
Thank you so much pastor Yankee sorry for the late comment but I only found this message now. The greatest sermon I have ever heard on Grace. I to was sometimes confused between grace and works but you have made it so simple to understand, Grace and service are two different things. God bless your ministry.
There is. I separating grace and works. Faith without works is dead. Paul says only by God's grace was he able to labour so much for the gospel
@@chrisanok9283 Thanks Chris, yes Bible is very complex but those works don't save us, we are only saved by grace. That's the problem with different authors of the Bible, they all differ slightly on certain subjects and that's why there are so many doctrines and denominations as everybody interprets the scriptures differ differently.
@@rexchaplin-jw7kj 8 agree that we are only saved by grace. But scripture teaches that grace causes us to bear good fruit. No fruit equals no salvation
@@chrisanok9283 Hi Chris, does the Bible say grace produces fruit? or does the Bible just say we must produce fruit? Is bearing fruit not works?? where does grace end and works start?
@@rexchaplin-jw7kj 1 Cor 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
By grace, Paul was able to labour. Grace produces fruit
Thanks pastor. I love how you clearly seperate salvation from service. I have a question. You are always clear that beleiving that Jesus died for one's sin, and was buried and rose again, saves someone eternally. I also heard you say someone is saved when they "trust Christ". Are you using the terms believe and trust interchangably. Or is it possible for someone to truly believe the gospel and NOT be trusting it to be true?
Jesus IS Lord. You dont make Him Lord, He is the Lord.
Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is the Lord.
Everyone! No exceptions.
Amen.
Jam 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 15:19
James was not always accepted in the canon. Man is wise in his own eyes to try to make the Gospel hard, but the accepting of everything a church or council doles out easy. Also, a work could mean “confessing with your mouth,” in addition to believing in your heart, as in Romans.
@@craigslist6630 Do you believe That God Had James write the book of James cause its been accepted by most people and critics do you believe the Bible is the inflatable word of God or do you not believe ? I Know that Luther had similar problems with this book maybe your a Lutheran…
Also Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Do you know that people call Hebrew’s 11: the hall of faith do you know why they call it that?
John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God. What are the works of God?
I’d be carful though taking out the stuff you don’t like…. The Bible warns against adding or subtracting from its contents because it is considered to be the word of God and is meant to be taken as a complete and whole message. Any addition or subtraction to the text could change the meaning and intent of the message, and therefore be considered a distortion of the truth. This warning can be found in several places in the Bible, including Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 12:32, and Revelation 22:18-19.
I love this man I want him to know I am uz my name is patrick mcneill
Amen!!
I wish there were churches like this in England. There is only Anglican steeple liturgical staid ones, Methodist Arminian, Word of Mouth and New Apostolic Charismatic, Reformed/Calvinist or Roman Catholic. Or else you end up with non Trinitarian sects like JWs and LDS. Even the Baptist churches are mainly Reformed or overtly Calvinist, so you don't know where you are with them. Those who call themselves Free Evangelical are likely to be Reformed too.
Here we have a preacher who knows the truth of the Bible, is not overly formal but still sticks to the correct structure for the church for discipleship of his children in Christ and saved.
England: London - where are you?
Love Dr Yankee and Dr Cuccuza.
I live in Suffolk UK and I too long to find a local church that teaches this truth of the gospel
@@jamesdiamond2302 what do you specifically need prayer for?
This is true! Salvation is a free gift of God, we simply receive it by faith in His finished redemptive work. Service, isn't salvation, I believe it to learning and living out who you are already once you've trusted Christ. Praise the Lord for His mercy for underserving sinners on the cross.
Luk 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (See Jesus says right here that there are things you must do ….)
18:04 -> How to be saved!

I agree brother
BINGO !!!
TRUE SAVING GRACE, WILL ALWAYS, ALWAYS PRODUCE GOOD WORKS.....BUT GOOD WORKS CAN NEVER, NEVER P[RODUCE SAVING GRACE!!! GRACE IS....God's Riches, At, Christ, Expense....
Lordship Salvation (LS) is nothing new. It has been around since the Apostle Paul, which Paul addressed in the book of Galatians. Hear the inspired Word of God....
Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
Galatians 3:2-3
Paul is calling out LS, a damning heresy that was popular back then and is still popular in churches everywhere today. It is a serious error that is taught by false teachers like John McArthur and John Piper and many other celebrity teachers; it is largely accepted uncritically. I'm sure you've heard this manifestation of LS before....
....We are justified by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone....
Let's unpack this profound theological statement; I will demonstrate the damning heresy imbedded in it. I will refer to Galatians 2:2-3 in parentheses, translating the statement above according the inspired Word of God....
1. "We are justified by faith alone.... (recieved the Spirit by hearing with faith),
2. ...but not by a faith that is alone ("Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?) Galatians 3:2-3
Paul is basically correcting the Galatians who became Christians by faith in Jesus Christ, but fell into the serious error that they must finish their salvation by works; a hybrid of faith in Jesus Christ melded together with obedience to the Law. Sound familiar?
This damning heresy is still around today, popularized by the notion that there must be works in the life of a professing Christian. They must persevere, they must be obedient, they must submit to the Lordship of Christ, they must do more and try harder, and if these works are not present in the life of a professing Christian then they are not a Christian.
The end result of this is that you become a Pharisee. Under LS you become worried that YOU are not doing enough works to prove your justification, which leads to despair. Therefore, YOU must do more and try harder to, YOU must be obedient to God's Laws, and YOU must persevere to the end. And when you finally succeed, then YOU become proud of YOUR efforts, that Is, until you begin to worry again that YOU are not doing enough works to prove your justification, in an endless cycle of pride and despair. Do you see how LS is bondage to the Law of God and not freedom from the Law by faith in Jesus Christ?
This is no small matter. We are either justified by faith or justified by works, and the two can not be mixed. Its all or nothing.
The Bible clearly teaches over and over that we are justified/saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law. Please read God's Word. It is clear as day....
And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,
Romans 4:5
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Galatians 2:21
For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Romans 3:28
Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”
Galatians 3:11
And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith-
Philippians 3:9
Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Galatians 2:16
For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:20
Given the clear and unmistakable teachings in the Scriptures that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law, can you please explain to me how the absence of good works in the life of a professing Christian who has faith in Jesus Christ is not saved? Please reply
It is commonly taught by false teachers that a person is not saved by good works, but that they will necessarily demonstrate good works because they are saved. Therefore, if someone does not demonstrate good works as a professing Christian, then they must not be a Christian.
Question: What are good works?
Answer: Good works is this-obedience to the Laws of God-keep the commandments, be perfect, do this and don't do that, love God and love your neighbor, etc.
The Bible clearly teaches over and over that we are justified/saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law. Please read God's Word, and then my conclusion for your consideration
And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,
Romans 4:5
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Galatians 2:21
For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Romans 3:28
Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”
Galatians 3:11
And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith-
Philippians 3:9
Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Galatians 2:16
For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:20
Do you see the problem? The moment you point to your obedience to God's Laws to prove your salvation, you are basing your salvation on "your performance" and not the "finished work of Jesus Christ", contradicting God's promise of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the law.
It's amazing how before we had the technology to find out how snow forms; the Bible told us that snow isn't entirely white.

“Salvation is one thing and service is another, and never the two goes together. No man is saved because he serves, and no man has to serve because he is saved. Gotta keep them separate! And if you don't do it, the Scriptures will be confusing to you. You'll not rightly divide what God has to say.” -Pastor Ralph Yankee Arnold, “Why Lordship Salvation Is Wrong”
A Man WILL SERVE WHEN HES SAVED OUT OF THE DESIRE FROM HIS HEART
I would want to know about the group of servants that began to beat their fellow servants and why they got cut asunder and appointed their portion with the hypocrites? Can someone answer that for me Yankee may not have time for it?
Could someone help me with that verse where Jesus is talking about the servant who says "the Lord delays His coming" and then began to eat with the wicked and beat the servants and then the Master cut him asunder and cast him into outer darkness.
Jesus said he doesn’t lose any.
Is this sermon recent or older? He mentioned he was still dealing with a cough. I pray he is feeling better.
It maybe a replay.
I thought so. The message sounds like one I've heard before.
Thankfully THE TRUTH never changes. What a great God we have. I love Pastor Yankee Arnold!
If you're forgiven for all your sins then what about "only they who obey my commands will be in the kingdom of heaven!
Would like to hear his understanding of James 2. It seems to be in contradiction to this message.
James is speaking to saved people about service. It doesn't have to do with being saved. Salvation isn't service. Service comes after but you have to be obedient and grow in the Grace of God. Should not will.
@@foechicken8023rileylastname if he was speaking to already saved, Why ask the rhetorical question "Can faith save him??" He was asking that reference to a man with only lip profession and no real commitment. His faith will NOT save. His faith is dead. Only live faith saves because it shows it was real faith
@@chrisanok9283 You are sweeping the rest of the scripture under the rug.
Faith doesn't save bit service does?
The entire Bible, including the old testament tells us we cannot save ourselves but are saved by faith alone.
A man bent on his own desire to save himself will not see the truth.
Ephesians 2:8-9 destroys the argument that faith doesn't save us.
@@foechicken8023rileylastname I never said service saves. To be clear, service is the RESULT of a man ALREADY saved. It's the fruit he bears. Salvation is the root. We are saved by faith. But a faith that saves is NEVER void from good works. That is james whole point. Faith can be seen in our lives by our actions.
What a blessing Yankee is. I am grateful to hear this.
The Burden of all the sins of the the world was born upon the cross by The Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone who places the burden of sin upon a sinner to be saved is proffering a false gospel of self righteousness. Jesus paid it all, and he died in our place, taking the punishment we deserve.
Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ’s best through (repentance) belief and Faith (trust). God will not save anyone trying to be saved by their own actions (works).
God will only save those who know they need a savior, and are trusting in him to be saved. The only requirement to be saved; is to admit you are a guilty sinner in Gods sight (Romans 3:19-26) and to turn to Jesus Christ in Faith trusting in his death burial and resurrection Romans 10:9-13) You as an ungodly sinner to be saved. No one has ever been saved except the ungodly (Romans 4:5-8) God does not save the self righteous, who who are going about attempting to establish their own righteousness. (Matthew 7:21-23) we can only be saved by Gods righteousness which is through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:9 says And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that righteousness which is of faith, through the risen Lord Christ Jesus who give me his righteousness, for I have none save his.
“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
Galatians 1:3-8 KJV
Why so many commercials?
At the end of the day are saved by grace or we are not. Their is NO MIDDLE GROUND PERI0D. Chose your side and don't try convince people otherwise.
Everybody die. It's just if you go into the smoking section or the non smoking section.
One preacher said, it is a free gift, but it will cost you everything. SAY WHAT?!!!!!!! God is not the author of confusion, but some preachers are. 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. John 3:18. Acts 16:31. John 6:47. The simplicity of the gospel. First John 5:13.
People just don’t seem to realize that when someone is your Lord, it’s irrelevant whether you “make them” your lord or not. THEY ARE.
If your slave broke someone’s window, who has to pay for the window? The slave or the slave-owner? Who has to take responsibility for that sin?
What about when your child breaks a window, who has to pay for it? Who has to take responsibility for that sin? The child? Or the parent?
The Bible says you have peace between God and you, because Christ, your Lord, paid the penalty for your actions.
False gospel. When we say make him your lord. It simply means live like Jesus is Your Lord.

Christ paying for our sins is a false gospel, or Him being our Lord?
@@joshuashepard583 Christ paying for our sins while us not making Him Lord is the false gospel. There is no repentance.
@@chrisanok9283
That’s goofy.
You’re saying the power of what Christ did for us is completely broken unless we perfectly submit to Him, which by the way, you can’t do. God’s power to do for us does not come from us.
The only reason He even uses us to spread the gospel is for His good pleasure. He simply enjoys it.
He doesn’t need us to accomplish anything in the World, or in our own lives.
@@joshuashepard583 that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is the power of what Christ did for us is completely established when we are saved. We love Him in return and obey Him as a result of our love. This is salvation my friend

False Doctrine.
People no understand the grace of God's. The Grace is The Power to do God's will. Is No license to Sin.
heres what really interesting.......so many say you must surrender your life........OK.....then would God endorse one who surrenders their life when the truth is that the word surrender is NOT even in the NT anywhere......so therefore God can not accept any effort that is not even named in the bible for salvation......God only requires what is written and inspired by the holy spirit......
God didn't say surrender yourself, he went further. He said DENY yourself and follow Him.

Lordship salvation makes the cross of no effect. It is a works based gospel. It comes out of Calvinism. They do not believe John 3:16 or First John 2:2, or First Timothy 2:4, or Romans 1:16.
When will we be conformed to the image of Christ? At the resurrection. Not before. 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. Why would you persevere to get something you already possess. Eternal life.
John 10:28-29. Romans 3:26-28. Matthew 7:21-23. They never did the will of His Father in heaven. John 6:40 and John 6:29. They are boasters of themselves.
Romans 4:5 Faith apart from works. Faith is not a work. And the GIFT of God is eternal life. NOT FAITH. Romans 6:23 For the penalty for sin is death, and we all sin, First John 1:8, and we all die, but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE, through Jesus Christ our Lord. No one can earn it. John 6:47. God cannot lie. John 3:18. The TULIP is the devils favorite flower.
We do what we do because we are saved. They do what they do to be saved. Huge difference. The wheat and the tares. Some believers have been caught up in it. They are still saved. First Timothy 2:13.

“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”
-2 Corinthians 5:14-15
If you look at the love Jesus showed on the cross and your response is not to drop everything and surrender your life, you are missing something, period. Trying to decide whether or not lordship is essential for salvation is missing the point.
“Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him MUST live as Jesus did.”

It is impossible to say you know Jesus and not strive to live like him and obey him.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

Lordship salvation is so easily defeated by the Bible.
The best case they have is false conversion ideas.
I think it’s perfectly fair to think a grievous sinner who claims to believe may be deceived.
I believe they could still be saved. I don’t believe in anything but faith alone.
But it is a decent point they bring up- regarding believing sinners who claim to believe are false converts. Unfortunately i think they’re right in many cases. But biblically a grievous sinner could be a believer.
Saved by grace through faith and not of your own works, however, faith without works is dead. You can’t claim to be in Christ and still live like the world.. repent and believe not believe and keep wilfully sinning because you claimed you believe in the Lord. Antinomianism is heretical
You have to have faith first before you can do good works. Good works follows faith. Don't confuse salvation with service. This is what Dr. Yankee is saying.
The James reference, faith without works is dead, was not a salvation issue. He was explaining to fellow believers that, as saved, if we don’t have works to show, we’re useless in leading others to the Lord .. as in our faith is dead in man’s eyes .. not God’s. Read the context around the cherry-picked verse you use. People use that verse a lot to claim a person can lose their salvation, as well as claim a person isn’t saved to begin with if they don’t prove it with works.
The only proof I need is that I trusted Christ as my savior and He promised to save me.
You can hear Pastor Arnold preach that message as well.
Yes, you can.
Read Corinthians.
Repent means to change one's mind d and not turn from sin.
Repent (change your mind) about how one is saved.
Matthew tells us that a person that is dependent on their works to save them will be turned away. They never trusted in Christ alone in faith alone.
Once we are saved we should be obedient but it doesn't mean we will.
@@winterpatriot1429 Antinomians need to stop brushing off everything they can't accept about the Bible as something that isn't a salvation matter. The overall context of Jas. 2 is clearly about how God wants Christians to have the kind of faith that includes obeying His commandments. The chapter is very clear about that.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 Roman’s 4:5 (KJV)
But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
James is speaking of service after salvation .. DISCIPLESHIP - NOT SALVATION.
Not everyone that is saved will turn into a disciple.
On a separate note - read Matthew 7:21-23
That’s for those who want to teach false doctrine and also add to faith alone.
By the way, when you read it, “the will of my father” is referring to believing, not works, not following commandments .. faith alone.
What did Paul tell the Philipian jailer about how to be saved?
Did the thief on the cross come down and do some good works before dying?
Antinomianism assumes we’re still bound by the law and choose to disobey. Christ was the END of the law. We choose to obey because we love Him. Still, if we disobey, He chastens those, but nobody loses salvation. Disobedience also doesn’t mean a person was never saved. Just like those who do good works - not all of them ARE saved. Matthew 7:21-23.
Faith alone .. service afterwards is leading others to the Lord and storing up treasures in heaven. Not required for salvation.

This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen."
I'm glad you know truth
What bad decisions did Lot make? His wife paid the price for her " turning back." Just as the "saved" person who turns back will pay with death. Don't test God, or you will pay with death. Oh, we have to live a holy life... or you will pay.
Do you think we can live any way we want, because we've received salvation? I know people who think like this and freely sin with the response, "Oh, I'll repent tomorrow."
Not saved by works... as James said... I will show my faith by my deeds! Don't think you can just commit fornication and be saved... look to the Holy Spirit for your guidance. Not from this false teaching.
salvation is not about or by behavior., but by putting your trust/faith/ belief in the death burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus for the remission of sin, Justification and imputed righteousness !! not of works ,not of law , NOT OF OURSELVES!

A lot of wrangling over words. Lawyering the text. Marketing and differentiating over small matters. No one gets saved easier because of the pure grace message or puts it off the decision because vague works may be implied.
What is true is that anyone touched by the Master will bow to Him or flee Him. Intuitively they know they will build on the Rock or He will be the Stumbling Block that destroys. Few people will have a story like Augustine. By far those who want to wait for later have made the decision and later is a fleeing tactic.
At the moment of what-will-I-do? decision religious doctrine is not in play. Spirit is in play.
Oh, come on, just say yes, it's a free gift. A person rationalized into Messish through doctrine will have a rational, not spiritual, arrangement. Nothing grows in a rational arrangement. In a rational relationship. The weeds rise and the cares of the world choke the life out of them and they fade away.
He who endures to the end shall be saved.
If Jesus isn't your LORD, you are not saved, but are deceived by Satan.
I never said that Jesus wasn't the Lord, I said that the Lord Jesus said I don't have to serve him in order to go to Heaven. He said he died for me to pay for my sins and all I had to do was trust him to take me to Heaven as a free gift. Now, what part of that did I get wrong? I can now proclaim that Christ is the Lord or master of my life, but not to be saved but because I already am saved. Read Eph. 2:8-9 Yankee Give me chapter and verse that proves that what I said was wrong without taking scripture out of context.
@Yankee Arnold Ministries You are a false teacher. Please renpent of your false gospel. You didn't even attempt to address the relevant texts.

[34]And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
[35]For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
[36]For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
[37]Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
[38]Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
JESUS is God. How can you possibly believe that you don't have to serve Him to make it to Heaven?
I never said that you said that Jesus wasn't the Lord, but that if he's not YOUR Lord, you are not saved. He must be your Lord, someone you obey, to make it to Heaven.
Whomever’s works you rely on to save you is your actual Lord.
I worry about people who think you don't have to obey God to make it to Heaven. The Bible says so plainly that if you live according to the flesh, you shall die. The devil deceives people today just like he deceived Eve when he told her she would not die.
Believing what Christ said on how to get to Heaven is obeying him. Read John 3:16 where Jesus said to just believe and I would not perish (go to Hell) and I would have everlasting Life (go to Heaven). What part was Jesus the Lord lying about? Evidently, Jesus is not your Lord!!!!! Yankee
Psalms 118:18 The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death. ->. Even in the Old Testament, a believer doesn’t die as an immediate result of sin, but of original sin, and they gave sacrifices for their sins. Now Jesus completed every sacrifice, ever. Do you know someone who hasn’t died, or will not die? All flesh dies until the event called The Resurrection. The Resurrection is the Gospel. Sinful man who dies can be resurrected, because Jesus was resurrected in flesh like ours.
No one will be in heaven unless they have faith in Christ. This is Bible 101. Faith in Christ means making him your lord. If you have faith in your sin, then your sin is your lord. You cannot serve 2 masters. I have lost a lot of respect for you today Yankee.
I’m sorry but I do not make Jesus Christ a savior and I do not make him a Lord that is who he is and saving people is what he does when I trust Christ is my savior that was my decision to trust him for what he did on the cross for me When I decided to serve the Lord after I was saved I wanted Christ to be the Lord of my life but not to be saved keep them separate and you would understand the Scriptures salvation is free a gift of God not of works but serving the Lord is something I do after I’m saved if I choose to do so If I do not have your respect now it’s only because I never did because my messages have never changed I’ve been preaching the same thing for 62 years listen to many of my other sermons and it will verify that what I’m telling you the truth thank you and God bless Yankee
@@YankeeArnoldMinistries Salvation is a simple IF/THEN statement IF you put your faith in Christ 1) you are saved, 2) you are making him your lord. IF, after being saved, you put that faith elsewhere, you 1) are no longer saved, 2) you choose to make something else your lord. This is not a hard concept. The New Covenant says that IF we put our faith in Christ, THEN Christ will save us. Not IF we put or faith in Christ at least once before we die. We are called to endure until the end.

@@pipkinrahl7264 “Salvation is a simple IF/THEN statement IF you put your faith in Christ 1) you are saved”
Up to this point you are correct. If you trust in Jesus’s finished work on the cross in HIS own blood, on your behalf, then you are saved and always will be saved.
“, 2) you are making him your lord.”
(You are making?) Really? Salvation is never based upon any merit of our own. Jesus finished it, not your filthy rag works of self righteous obedience you’re trying to add to salvation. Shame on you.
“IF, after being saved, you put that faith elsewhere, you 1) are no longer saved,”
Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, not the other way around. What Jesus began in us can never be undone, not even by ourselves. ALL that the Father has given him he will never cast out or lose, not even one.
“2) you choose to make something else your lord.”
Stop projecting. You’re making your self righteous filthy rags works of obedience your lord.
“This is not a hard concept.”
Well evidently it is for you. The gospel is simple. Believe in what Jesus did for you according to the scriptures and your saved, PERIOD!
“The New Covenant says that IF we put our faith in Christ, THEN Christ will save us.”
Correct. So stop trying to add to it, duh!
“Not IF we put or faith in Christ at least once before we die.”
What did the thief on the cross do. He put his faith in Jesus once and then died and yet Jesus himself said he would be with him in paradise.
“We are called to endure until the end.”
Clearly you don’t know how to rightly divide the bible. That scripture was spoken to the pre cross jews and not to the church which wasn’t revealed until Paul after the cross.
“How do we do that?”
I’ll tell you. By rightly dividing the bible, and taking the whole of bible in context, line upon line, precept upon precept scripture with scripture. If you don’t follow this prescribed method that the bible explains then your doctrine will get all screwed up.
“By making Christ our lord.”
Jesus is the savior of the world and of both you and me. You seem to think that some future sin can surprise Jesus. Not so. ALL of our sins where yet future were they not when he died for them 2000 years ago. He’s seen them all and forgiven them all.
“You really should know this.”
Clearly you don’t, hypocrite! Being a hypocrite is a sin by the way.
“Salvation is free,”
finally, we agree on something. So stop trying to add to it.
“but we cannot have Salvation if we do not keep the covenant.”
