Looking back almost 40 years ago in 1980 when I went to Grace Community and met Pastor John MacArthur, there was a really stuck up fellow that gave me a bad impression of Grace Church. It made me go with the wrong doctrines instead of staying with Pastor John Mac. I truly regret it. But it’s been 5 years now that I have been with Grace Community and with the teaching of Pastor John Mac and I can tell it has really change my beliefs a 100%. Sound doctrine, great teaching, great example, and salvation certainty.
Thank you for posting this! I read the book. I shared the book with my mother. We, especially American Christian need to read this! My son is actually studying at TMS now. What a blessing. God is gracious!
Milly Esther , Thank you for sharing your burdens . I was suffering from panic attack and horrible depression , sleep paralyzes , extreme fear of death made me unable to live a normal life for six years . I was searching the truth by Jehovah’s witness , Unification Church , Mormon till I was encountered Christian radio station and heard the gospel messages from pastor John MacArthur. That was 34 years ago and I am still listening his sermon everyday . My precious sister in Christ . No matter what happens in your life , keep your post . Don’t runaway from the problem but stay in your post . Perseverance is the one of mark of true believers . My husband was abused cocaine that time while I had four children . By the way , my husband was at veteran administration for drug rehabilitation when I was saved and he also cried out to God same night delivered from the god of this world who has been deceived him . We are still married and he never touched any drug ever since . I hope my testimony help you to stay focus on His Word and promise of God . My tearful prayers are from California and mercy and grace from above.
@@sundelong2727 Dear Sun, I thought I had it bad until I read your comment. It seems like the ones who have had it so bad have the most compassion! As I was writing this I thought about how Jesus had it the worst and to make it even more astounding He NEVER did one thing wrong! May the Good Lord continue to bless you mightily!
hi , salvation doesnt depend on you, it depend on jesus christ finished work along. gospel(good news) als ofor you is,that jesus has died for all you sins, all is paid and he is alive from the dead(rose again for our justfication), christ died for the sins of the whole world 1.cor 15,1-4 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: dont rely 1% on you, rely 100% on the fact, that jesus christ died for all you sins, so you not have to go to hell for any and faith along in it means, you see & believe the all sufficent saving grace of god. by the way, i was in lordship lsavation, asked god to show me the turht once, came to robert breakers channel, he explaisn it well, believe in the good news(gospel) of christ, that this has saved you and thats why u trust christ as u saviour ec moore / steven atwood are also ncie preachers !
Those who bear good 🙂fruit 🍉🍌🍎🍏are the true believers. We grow spiritually through the trials and tribulations in this fallen 🌏world. Excellent message Brother John. Your one of the very few i trust to be a genuine preacher. Most are false these days.
Great sermon. Effective and rich in God’s truth. Brother John exemplifies what a true Christian pastor does. A shepherd of the church and great expositor of the gospel of Jesus Christ. John has a passion for how men and women respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ and he preaches an unadulterated gospel always. What a great privilege to be able to listen to his old sermons as well, as the Christian message never changes but, remains inerrant and immutable as God has ordained. Thank you for sharing this message and we know that God continues faithfully to draw many people onto Himself for a saving faith by His grace. The Lord bless.
The interesting thing when you preach truth, is that your message is timeless and always relevant to the time you are living in. So grateful for John MacArthur ...
Praise the Lord, great sermon! I'd like to get the book for myself! I've been a born-again Christian now for almost 46 years, and I suspect that many who claim to be true believers have never been saved in the first place, were never genuine, just professors and not possessors! It's all so very sad!
Thank you Pastor lots.of teaching in your message this I am glad that now I have your book The Gospel According to Jesus, so important to Christians and to everyone who does not want to be misled but tells us like it is and not a buttered or.sweetened version of what Jesus our Lord demands of His.followers. I like the Truth that you preach and pray God's blessings be upon you always. Thank you. Jesus is Lord.
1.cor 15,1-4 saves, what jesus did for us and you part is it, to rely on it along(you believe the gospel record), that christ died for all you sins and is alive from the dead, all is paid by his shed blood
Did anyone notice this before?.. This man's pronounciation is the most perfect at all!!!.. You can hear and understand him even when playback speed ×2. And I think it would be right at ×4 too!!!
This isn’t a shuffle groove sermon but, a powerful rhythm of God’s truth. I am a drummer and like Jeff P’s drumming as well. Check out Paul Washer’s video on UnBiblical Church Music if you get a chance. 8 Biblical points on true Christian worship. The Lord bless.
Ask any professing Christian the following question: “When you die where do you believe you’re eternal soul is going?” If their answer begins a prefix like “Well I think ….” or “I hope ….” then you can be certain that they are not born again. For a true born again Christian would immediately reply "To heaven”. Amen?
You can also say , nowhere because when Jesus resurrect the 1st resurrection millennium is on earth, not heaven. Going to heaven is the devils desire and more than likely the false prophet claim to take people to heaven. Jesus says hes coming back.
JOHNS SERMONS GOD STILL USES TO STIR A HEART AND BRING REPENTANCE. THIS MAN HAS TAUGHT ME SO VERY MUCH. ALONG WITH MY LOCAL PASTOR. I HAVE TO HAVE TEACHING ABOUT CHRIST IN MY EARS AT ALMOST ALL TIMES. I FEEL WRONG iF CHRIST ISNT BEING PRAISED OR TAUGHT ABOUT.
Never thought Pastor John came Singapore before 😶 look at Singapore and other part of the world now, the influence of joseph prince the wolf in sheep's skin is almost everywhere
@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC The Reason why you're saying all this is Because you are ashamed of the Gospel.......Nobody is Nullifying The Law..The Law has to be fulfilled and Jesus has fulfilled it on our Behalf.....read your Bible properly,you Heretic........How can you take MacArthur seriously who puts "if" and "but" in the work of Jesus on The Cross
oh WOW! l love old Johnny Mac videos! THANKS for this! l dont know why l haven't seen i before. l just discovered the man after covid ...cuz he wouldn't close his church. Best preacher l ever heard ...well him, and Sproul. :D
Was just wondering how many people believe that we are closer to the Rapture than we think? I am not a date setter that's for sure-- but seeing the worlds currents events and the speed of how everything is moving I have to say that i get so excited one minute and so scared the next...One day our Lord and Saviour is coming back..I hold onto that promise! God Bless you all and keep strong in the Faith ..Ephesians Ch.2 vrse 8..For by graced are ye saved through Faith and that not of yourselves,,it is the gift of God
Related to 15:31 in this video; I didn't come to Christ because I wanted to be saved from hell or go to heaven, or that I wanted any benefits, happiness, money, etc. I was pure evil, I couldn't be righteous and loving without Christ. I needed Christ to change me and make me like Him. Pastors thought I was ridiculous. Told my friends and family that I was basically crazy for thinking I don't need to be saved from hell and I needed Christ to change me. Because the pastors and preachers just kept saying we had to just believe and read to John 3;16, that just a prayer and confession was all I needed and then would expect me to just to find satisfaction and rejoice I'm saved. But Christ did change me drastically in ways I couldn't. I see the fruit now of the Holy Spirit from the change He made in me that only He can in a human.
Do you recognise now that you needed to be saved from God's wrath - which would send you to hell - because of your sins, and are you now grateful for this?
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away. *But* those mine enemies, _which would not that I should reign (as Lord) over them,_ bring hither, and slay them before me. [] Luk19:27 Let's read that again. JESUS: As for those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Though ive had the book since it came out and have listened to a multitude of Johns sermons, this is the first time i have heard it preached. Bits and pieces occasionally, but not the whole message of it. Thanks for your work in presenting this to us. The reverse image is i guess from the process you used to get it in this form. But, honestly, the little video tricks could have been left out. They can be distracting to folks i believe and break the train of thoughts if they arent already somewhat familiar with the teachings. Other presenters have received similar comments for inserting background music to sermons. Let the sermons and the Holy Spirit do the work is the best policy.
There’s is good reason to believe that this rich young ruler was Mark..notice that in only the Gospel of Mark says in this story,that Jesus looked at him and loved him.He did in fact later gave up his possessions,and there is good reason to believe that this was the young man who ran off naked when chased in the Garden at Jesus’s arrest
You can not be that superficial, you wish…. But guess what? It’s not written in the Bible, it’s just hearsay, you have no hard evidence. If it is not WRITTEN then is not evident!

@@DavidFuentes123 you are correct David,it’s only speculation.Not sure about being superficial would describe me though,if anything I overthink..but you don’t really know me,so I will take that your analysis of me is also superficial.Again, I am not being dogmatic about that speculation and it’s also not essential for salvation.It’s certainly not something to divide over.
Sarah Ward. And we are always longing to be with Jesus Christ. Our heart and soul longs to be in heaven with Christ.!. To be with Him and see him as He really is. . I have heard people say. Well I want to go to heaven when I die. But I wish God would leave me here to be with my grandchildren for as long as possible.. They were speaking of the Rapture.... When God Raptures His Church. The little children will be the first to be Raptures.!
Mr. Leong, I see you haven't posted anything since this, and I wonder where you have gone? I hope you will come back & continue. See this great work you've already done? I am so thankful to hear & watch this video. I see that many others have commented the same. Please pick up the gauntlet again. You did a great thing. Thank you again. 🙏🏼
Starting around 48:50 minutes in I think of the lead singer of A perfect circle who has a song titled Judith who had the same experience and I think he is angry at God due to something Jesus never said.
1.cor 15,1-4 : 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Who on Earth told you John Macarthur was chosen to lead Christianity? I doubt John did. The person who was chosen by God to lead Christianity is Jesus.
MacArthur and evidently most, if not all Calvinists equate being saved with being a disciple. He clearly and with no mistake about it states very much thinks all believers WILL automatically be dedicated disciples of the Lord or they're not really saved. He is not only wrong, but he is also in gross error. It would be wonderful if every believer became a sold-out extremely dedicated disciple willing to sell out and do anything and everything the Lord wants of them. MacArthur and anyone else who thinks this way is WAY off base, not even close to the truth. I do believe salvation changes a person, but clearly, the examples he gives in this message were never Christians to start with. Make no mistake about it no real believer in Christ who has really been born again becomes an atheist or starts worshipping Budha or some other false religion. That person "went out from us because they WERE NOT OF US". Being a believer in Christ who is really born again is NOT the same thing as being a sold-out dedicated disciple of Christ. That is false teaching and it does great harm IMHO. I do believe MacArthur is right about the liquor store owner who owned 26 liquor stores and was living in adultery being a false convert. I don't believe for even a split second that man was saved. If he were really saved God would have severely chastened him if not outright killed him for his sins. That is VERY biblical btw and it's quite clear in the Bible. I do believe salvation should produce a real change in a believer, but I also believe the carnal nature is VERY, VERY strong and we also have a powerful enemy called Satan. Most believers never really become dedicated disciples. MacArthur is seriously wrong on this.
Randy D: "Being a believer in Christ who is really born again is NOT the same thing as being a dedicated disciple of Christ." Defend that position from Scripture.
Dear Randy please don't take what I'm saying to you the wrong way because I am going through a time of struggling with getting my harmony and fellowship back with the Lord. Please try and read a booklet by Jay E. Adams called Godliness through discipline except don't do what I did. That is read it 3 times and then not apply to my life what I read! Take care my friend.
@@RHEvans Defend it from scripture? Have you read the gospels? I mean ever? Have you read the rest of the New Testament as well? Being saved or born again is one thing and being a "mathetes, disciple, or learner" from a "Didaskalos, Master or Teacher, referring to Christ as the Teacher of the disciples or learners is quite another thing entirely. That is a totally separate thing from the doctrines which tell a person how to be saved or born again into the family of God. I find it hard to believe, if you are a believer yourself, that you don't know this. The Bible is replete with plenty of proof. Salvation is by grace through faith and not so much as a single verse in the entire Bible contradicts that ALL IMPORTANT principle. Getting born into God's family is the "gift of God" and it's "not of works lest any man should boast." Being a truly dedicated disciple may just cost your life as a martyr and involves much study as well as sometimes great sacrifice including death. Getting born again is free, a gift by grace + nothing. (Ephesians 2:8,9 and Titus 3:5,6) Being a disciple takes great sacrifice and serious effort to please God in all things and do whatever He wants you to do regardless of the cost. If you don't see the crystal clear difference no amount of anything I can say will convince you one way or the other. NEVER, not a single time, does Christ ever tell His disciples that they must be disciples in order to be saved or stay saved. Here is one example and it took me all of a few seconds to find it. Is this a criterion for either being saved or staying saved? I'm almost certain MacArthur would say yes. I say NO!!!!!!!! Btw, after reading this are YOU really a disciple? I doubt it. Luke 14:26, 27 " If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." Believe me, I've been a born-again child of God since 1977 and these verses still challenge me, but I know they're not conditions of my salvation which was settled when I believed in Christ one Sunday, April 3, 1977. I was saved all those years ago and I'm only saved today because of God's grace and mercy.
Really?? So you are going to Christ what a Real Disciple(Christian) is. If you don't take up your Cross and FOLLOW me, you CAN’T be my Disciple(Christian) what you are espouse is Adding Christ to your Life and there be No Change. MacArthur is Speaking to you!
People refuse to come to God because they don't want their evil deeds to be exposed and they don't want to turn from them. They reject God and suppress the knowledge of His existence. The gospel is powerful to convert the soul, and that's why Christians proselytise.
@@michaal105 Refuse? When the evidence is so weak? When some of us have read the bible and Augustine and Aquinas and found no compelling reason to believe? Evil deeds? Are you saying believers don;t commit evil deeds? Like the Inquisition? Or raping children and covering it up? The gospels are many stories that often contradict one another and demonstrate many inconsistencies. Why should they convert someone to believe in the supernatural?
@@pblogger9065 First of all, you are clearly biased. It shows through your words. And second of all, you call the evidence weak and yet there are others who weren't Christian who encountered evidence and found it to be compellingly strong to the point where they converted. I know because I'm one of them. So what I want to make clear to you is that there are significant pieces of evidence that show Jesus rose from the dead (which you might have known had you actually looked before the evidence instead of decidedly saying it's weak before looking) and that God is real.
Only Paul's gospel saves today. Paul preached the gospel of the grace of God WITHOUT WORKS to GENTILES in the dispensation of grace (THE CHURCH AGE)... The Lord Jesus Christ preached the kingdom gospel to JEWS under the law. The word of God must be RIGHTLY DIVIDED... PAUL IS THE APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES.
What???????!!!! Can you preach the Gospel of YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH better, mate????????? SILLY!!! You should qualify your "TONGUE"!! You are a Papist I'm sure! You PERVERT the Gospel of YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH for a SURETY, mate with your superfluous innuendos and paganistic doctrines that aren't sourced from the Bible!
@@SH-zz2efhe does, actually. He teaches the Lordship salvation heresy, and is a staunch Calvinist, which is also heresy. As a former calvinistic lordshipper myself, I'm telling you, it's all heresy, very well polished and seductive heresy.
There is no other salvation then repentance and a willingness to follow The Lord Jesus Christ at no matter the cost..if not then you came on your terms not His...and that is very serious..I hope and pray you come to the truth!
@@Rahullazarus The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. KJV John 3:8
Does no one else see the obvious contradiction in his presentation? At the beginning he tells of a number of people who clearly lived a Christian life and then fell away and later MacArthur says that you don't know a Christian by where he has walked but by a transformed life....
@SlaveofChrist1521 please consider the context of 1Joh 2,19. John is not generally saying that if someone supposedly falls away from the faith, he is showing that he was never born again. Proponents of eternal salvation, among whom I count myself, use this verse as evidence. I have also done so in the past. But John is talking about a very special group of people: Antichrists. In 1Joh 2,19, the word "us" refers to the apostolic circle to which John belonged. This is shown by the direct contrast to "you" in the following verse 20. This we/you contrast appears for the first time in the prologue itself (1 John 1:1-3) and once again clearly in 1 John 4:4-6. In the latter passage, the "they" (1 John 4:5) refers to the antichrists, just as in 1 John 2:19. So the false prophets had withdrawn from the apostolic community, which probably means that they had once been part of the Palestinian community. Jerusalem and Judea had long had direct apostolic influence and authority. But roots like these could lend their teachings an aura of respectability that could have a dangerous effect on the readership to which they had come. In this respect, these people had something in common with the lawgivers of Acts 15:1, for the advocates of the law also came to Antioch from Judea. The Jerusalem council denied any connection with them (Acts 15:24), just as John does in 1Joh 2,19.
He was NOT mocking; he was actually telling the "Gospel Truth" about Pentecostals, Charismatics to and the NAR who have perverted the Words of YAHWEH. Not necessarily that all the above are UNSAVED; depends on who's an ELECT and who's NOT!!
@@michaelsamuel1069 listen to him how he humiliates us in his conferences and make a hearty laugh out of us pentecostals. The great Judge is watching and only He knows our hearts
@@michaelsamuel1069 u havent heard john macarthur berates and mocks us as pentecostals and he calls himself gospel of righteousness maybe you're also a berater and mocker of people
'' the gospel according to jesus '' ? No jesus left not one written word, everything '' jesus said '' was said by people who never knew him, and he had no eyewitnesses, so the gospel according to jesus is from other folks, not jesus. I love exposing what christianity is really about...one big lie, one big guilt trip and fear tactic.

not always, because some people doubt their salvation, even when they are truly converted

I didn't come to Christ because I wanted to be saved from hell or go to heaven, or that I wanted any benefits, happiness, money, etc.
I was pure evil, I couldn't be righteous and loving without Christ.
I needed Christ to change me and make me like Him.
Pastors thought I was ridiculous. Told my friends and family that I was basically crazy for thinking I don't need to be saved from hell and I needed Christ to change me.
Because the pastors and preachers just kept saying we had to just believe and read to John 3;16, that just a prayer and confession was all I needed and then would expect me to just to find satisfaction and rejoice I'm saved.
But Christ did change me drastically in ways I couldn't.
I see the fruit now of the Holy Spirit from the change He made in me that only He can in a human.
Do you recognise now that you needed to be saved from God's wrath - which would send you to hell - because of your sins, and are you now grateful for this?
Wow. So this man has always been that sharp huh? Amazing!
Old MacArthur. Even Jan liked!
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away. *But* those mine enemies, _which would not that I should reign (as Lord) over them,_ bring hither, and slay them before me.
[] Luk19:27
Let's read that again.
JESUS: As for those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Love J Mac!!!
Thank you Jesus and Thank you
Though ive had the book since it came out and have listened to a multitude of Johns sermons, this is the first time i have heard it preached. Bits and pieces occasionally, but not the whole message of it. Thanks for your work in presenting this to us. The reverse image is i guess from the process you used to get it in this form. But, honestly, the little video tricks could have been left out. They can be distracting to folks i believe and break the train of thoughts if they arent already somewhat familiar with the teachings. Other presenters have received similar comments for inserting background music to sermons. Let the sermons and the Holy Spirit do the work is the best policy.
There’s is good reason to believe that this rich young ruler was Mark..notice that in only the Gospel of Mark says in this story,that Jesus looked at him and loved him.He did in fact later gave up his possessions,and there is good reason to believe that this was the young man who ran off naked when chased in the Garden at Jesus’s arrest
You can not be that superficial, you wish…. But guess what? It’s not written in the Bible, it’s just hearsay, you have no hard evidence. If it is not WRITTEN then is not evident!

@@DavidFuentes123 you are correct David,it’s only speculation.Not sure about being superficial would describe me though,if anything I overthink..but you don’t really know me,so I will take that your analysis of me is also superficial.Again, I am not being dogmatic about that speculation and it’s also not essential for salvation.It’s certainly not something to divide over.
The rich young ruler went to hell. That leaves out Mark.
Sarah Ward. And we are always longing to be with Jesus Christ. Our heart and soul longs to be in heaven with Christ.!. To be with Him and see him as He really is. .
I have heard people say. Well I want to go to heaven when I die. But I wish God would leave me here to be with my grandchildren for as long as possible.. They were speaking of the Rapture.... When God Raptures His Church. The little children will be the first to be Raptures.!
i havent seen this.. where in Singapore, what church??
SO YOUNG looking in this one, and handsome as ever 😊💜🙏
Mr. Leong, I see you haven't posted anything since this, and I wonder where you have gone? I hope you will come back & continue. See this great work you've already done? I am so thankful to hear & watch this video. I see that many others have commented the same. Please pick up the gauntlet again. You did a great thing. Thank you again. 🙏🏼
Amen❤❤❤
TOO GOOD
It feels weird to see John Macarthur outside of the church where he usually preaches lol
Wasn’t “The gospel according to Jesus” released in 1988?
If we had the strict laws like Singapore we wouldn't be in half the shape we are in!!!
Anyone know what church in SG is this?
Starting around 48:50 minutes in I think of the lead singer of A perfect circle who has a song titled Judith who had the same experience and I think he is angry at God due to something Jesus never said.
Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Ephesians 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:14
1.cor 15,1-4 : 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

John MacArthur is thankful that he is all-knowing and chosen to lead Christianity. Who knew???
Who on Earth told you John Macarthur was chosen to lead Christianity? I doubt John did.
The person who was chosen by God to lead Christianity is Jesus.
MacArthur and evidently most, if not all Calvinists equate being saved with being a disciple. He clearly and with no mistake about it states very much thinks all believers WILL automatically be dedicated disciples of the Lord or they're not really saved. He is not only wrong, but he is also in gross error. It would be wonderful if every believer became a sold-out extremely dedicated disciple willing to sell out and do anything and everything the Lord wants of them. MacArthur and anyone else who thinks this way is WAY off base, not even close to the truth. I do believe salvation changes a person, but clearly, the examples he gives in this message were never Christians to start with. Make no mistake about it no real believer in Christ who has really been born again becomes an atheist or starts worshipping Budha or some other false religion. That person "went out from us because they WERE NOT OF US". Being a believer in Christ who is really born again is NOT the same thing as being a sold-out dedicated disciple of Christ. That is false teaching and it does great harm IMHO. I do believe MacArthur is right about the liquor store owner who owned 26 liquor stores and was living in adultery being a false convert. I don't believe for even a split second that man was saved. If he were really saved God would have severely chastened him if not outright killed him for his sins. That is VERY biblical btw and it's quite clear in the Bible. I do believe salvation should produce a real change in a believer, but I also believe the carnal nature is VERY, VERY strong and we also have a powerful enemy called Satan. Most believers never really become dedicated disciples. MacArthur is seriously wrong on this.
Randy D: "Being a believer in Christ who is really born again is NOT the same thing as being a dedicated disciple of Christ."
Defend that position from Scripture.
Dear Randy please don't take what I'm saying to you the wrong way because I am going through a time of struggling with getting my harmony and fellowship back with the Lord. Please try and read a booklet by Jay E. Adams called Godliness through discipline except don't do what I did. That is read it 3 times and then not apply to my life what I read! Take care my friend.
@@RHEvans Defend it from scripture? Have you read the gospels? I mean ever? Have you read the rest of the New Testament as well? Being saved or born again is one thing and being a "mathetes, disciple, or learner" from a "Didaskalos, Master or Teacher, referring to Christ as the Teacher of the disciples or learners is quite another thing entirely. That is a totally separate thing from the doctrines which tell a person how to be saved or born again into the family of God. I find it hard to believe, if you are a believer yourself, that you don't know this. The Bible is replete with plenty of proof. Salvation is by grace through faith and not so much as a single verse in the entire Bible contradicts that ALL IMPORTANT principle. Getting born into God's family is the "gift of God" and it's "not of works lest any man should boast." Being a truly dedicated disciple may just cost your life as a martyr and involves much study as well as sometimes great sacrifice including death. Getting born again is free, a gift by grace + nothing. (Ephesians 2:8,9 and Titus 3:5,6) Being a disciple takes great sacrifice and serious effort to please God in all things and do whatever He wants you to do regardless of the cost. If you don't see the crystal clear difference no amount of anything I can say will convince you one way or the other. NEVER, not a single time, does Christ ever tell His disciples that they must be disciples in order to be saved or stay saved.
Here is one example and it took me all of a few seconds to find it. Is this a criterion for either being saved or staying saved? I'm almost certain MacArthur would say yes. I say NO!!!!!!!! Btw, after reading this are YOU really a disciple? I doubt it.
Luke 14:26, 27 " If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." Believe me, I've been a born-again child of God since 1977 and these verses still challenge me, but I know they're not conditions of my salvation which was settled when I believed in Christ one Sunday, April 3, 1977. I was saved all those years ago and I'm only saved today because of God's grace and mercy.
@@randyd9805amen.
Really?? So you are going to Christ what a Real Disciple(Christian) is. If you don't take up your Cross and FOLLOW me, you CAN’T be my Disciple(Christian) what you are espouse is Adding Christ to your Life and there be No Change. MacArthur is Speaking to you!
Will always be grateful for his insights
If god is so obvious and powerful, why do people need to proselytize?
People refuse to come to God because they don't want their evil deeds to be exposed and they don't want to turn from them. They reject God and suppress the knowledge of His existence. The gospel is powerful to convert the soul, and that's why Christians proselytise.
@@michaal105 Refuse? When the evidence is so weak? When some of us have read the bible and Augustine and Aquinas and found no compelling reason to believe?
Evil deeds? Are you saying believers don;t commit evil deeds? Like the Inquisition? Or raping children and covering it up?
The gospels are many stories that often contradict one another and demonstrate many inconsistencies. Why should they convert someone to believe in the supernatural?
@@pblogger9065 First of all, you are clearly biased. It shows through your words.
And second of all, you call the evidence weak and yet there are others who weren't Christian who encountered evidence and found it to be compellingly strong to the point where they converted. I know because I'm one of them. So what I want to make clear to you is that there are significant pieces of evidence that show Jesus rose from the dead (which you might have known had you actually looked before the evidence instead of decidedly saying it's weak before looking) and that God is real.
No way that's John MacArthur 😮😮😮
It is
Only Paul's gospel saves today. Paul preached the gospel of the grace of God WITHOUT WORKS to GENTILES in the dispensation of grace (THE CHURCH AGE)... The Lord Jesus Christ preached the kingdom gospel to JEWS under the law. The word of God must be RIGHTLY DIVIDED... PAUL IS THE APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES.
He misrepresents truth.
What???????!!!! Can you preach the Gospel of YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH better, mate????????? SILLY!!! You should qualify your "TONGUE"!! You are a Papist I'm sure! You PERVERT the Gospel of YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH for a SURETY, mate with your superfluous innuendos and paganistic doctrines that aren't sourced from the Bible!
@@SH-zz2efhe does, actually. He teaches the Lordship salvation heresy, and is a staunch Calvinist, which is also heresy.
As a former calvinistic lordshipper myself, I'm telling you, it's all heresy, very well polished and seductive heresy.
There is no other salvation then repentance and a willingness to follow The Lord Jesus Christ at no matter the cost..if not then you came on your terms not His...and that is very serious..I hope and pray you come to the truth!
You shall know them by their fruits....and man is MacArthurs fruit rotten!
@SlaveofChrist1521 because he's not trusting in Christ alone. Conditional salvation
@SlaveofChrist1521 he's a Calvinist. They don't believe that
Didn't I write books didn't I speak at conferences, didn't I have a radio, and TV show
Yeah and what is the evidence of your faith.?
....???....
@@shanereynolds4952 Why look for the evidences of Faith...why not look for the very Faith itself ?!?!
@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC Do you Believe that Jesus has died for all your sins?!?!
@@Rahullazarus The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. KJV John 3:8
Does no one else see the obvious contradiction in his presentation? At the beginning he tells of a number of people who clearly lived a Christian life and then fell away and later MacArthur says that you don't know a Christian by where he has walked but by a transformed life....
@SlaveofChrist1521 please consider the context of 1Joh 2,19.
John is not generally saying that if someone supposedly falls away from the faith, he is showing that he was never born again. Proponents of eternal salvation, among whom I count myself, use this verse as evidence. I have also done so in the past. But John is talking about a very special group of people: Antichrists.
In 1Joh 2,19, the word "us" refers to the apostolic circle to which John belonged. This is shown by the direct contrast to "you" in the following verse 20.
This we/you contrast appears for the first time in the prologue itself (1 John 1:1-3) and once again clearly in 1 John 4:4-6.
In the latter passage, the "they" (1 John 4:5) refers to the antichrists, just as in 1 John 2:19.
So the false prophets had withdrawn from the apostolic community, which probably means that they had once been part of the Palestinian community. Jerusalem and Judea had long had direct apostolic influence and authority. But roots like these could lend their teachings an aura of respectability that could have a dangerous effect on the readership to which they had come. In this respect, these people had something in common with the lawgivers of Acts 15:1, for the advocates of the law also came to Antioch from Judea.
The Jerusalem council denied any connection with them (Acts 15:24), just as John does in 1Joh 2,19.
I don't think that was a contradiction. I think it was spot on. A true conversion transforms a life through and through.
@@Lizzysheart777 A logical contradiction is not a matter of personal opinion. How is it not a contradiction?
@@christologisch I gave my answer.
John macarthur preaches the bible but he mocks and disdains charismatic preachers in his strange conferences. LIVE WHAT U PREACH BRO
amen
He was NOT mocking; he was actually telling the "Gospel Truth" about Pentecostals, Charismatics to and the NAR who have perverted the Words of YAHWEH. Not necessarily that all the above are UNSAVED; depends on who's an ELECT and who's NOT!!
@@michaelsamuel1069 listen to him how he humiliates us in his conferences and make a hearty laugh out of us pentecostals. The great Judge is watching and only He knows our hearts
@@michaelsamuel1069 u havent heard john macarthur berates and mocks us as pentecostals and he calls himself gospel of righteousness maybe you're also a berater and mocker of people
@@TheWordisrael : How is a Pentecostal sanctified in this life?
'' the gospel according to jesus '' ? No jesus left not one written word, everything '' jesus said '' was said by people who never knew him, and he had no eyewitnesses, so the gospel according to jesus is from other folks, not jesus.
I love exposing what christianity is really about...one big lie, one big guilt trip and fear tactic.
