Where did Law Keeping Churches come from? Do you belong to one? This message examines the Little Flock and it's progressive development through the early days of the church.
Excellent teaching. Context & progressive revelation, I've believed that for some time now, but never heard it explained the way you have done. Now the epistles of Paul should open up to a greater understanding. Perhaps the single-most important hour of preaching I've heard since I don't know when. Thank you!
Powerful TEACHING and BIBLICAL TRUTH RIGHTLY DIVIDED Benjamin FROM Nassau BAHAMAS RODNEY I hope I can get you here TO TEACH there Lost So Call PASTORS.
This was awesome this was freeing and this was exciting Thank you so much pastor brother Rodney The light bulb for me that helped Bring so much of your Dividing in Paul's epistles To an understanding one was that there was so many law keeping churches and Paul was converting them and then it dawned on me just like it is today back then Kingdom gospel is over question remains I guess part of the part of the answer has to be concluded with the answer to another question these little flockers have the promise of the Kingdom now they could give up the Kingdom and gopher heaven is that true or false which brings me to the resurrection our Resurrection is not in Prophecy I've been trying to figure out is there Resurrection at the beginning of the tribulation or at the end of the tribulation. And of course this makes me wonder the little flockers are they going to be raised with the apostles are they going to be raised with me. User seem to be the pioneer and rightly dividing I watched you closely and I dive deep into the Bible looking for the truth and you are obviously finding and sharing truth thank you so much you are glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ
Wow! Dispelled years of confusion in about an hour. And I have been listening to Grace teaching for years. Yet I have never heard these matters clearly set forth before this.
thank you rodney it certainly all makes sense now I finally understand the bible, although for many years I read the bible cover to cover, listened to many many teachers, I knew something was not right but did not know what, thank you once again
Thanks Rodney, the volume was a lot better. The teaching was clear and very helpful into understanding the right division between the kingdom church and the grace church. Unless people understand that there was two churches, they will never understand much of Pauline doctrine and it's significance.
@@BrownBrown270Paul tells us so... 1 Timothy 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
My friend is a citizen of Israel and also a citizen of the USA. He holds both citizenships, but his allegiance is to the USA. Those of the little flock that accepted the grace gospel were citizens of the Kingdom gospel yet they became members of the Body of Christ, the Church. Surely their thoughts were with the Kingdom Church yet their allegiance was to the Gospel of Grace, not the gospel of the Kingdom. Thank you Pastor Rodney for opening my eyes to this truth. As my dear sister told you, I too am held in the grip of grace. If Judy lives within the driving distance of Middletown, OH, please let me know. I would love to visit her.
Acts 9:15-16 KJV But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: [16] For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
I just "happened" upon you today, Rodney, and am SO thankful! I'm in my 9th decade and was SO delighted to hear about Judy! What a testimony she has! If she's still with us, I'd LOVE to communicate with her. Might you be able to arrange that? I'd be SO appreciative!
Hello Annie B. I would love to connect you with Judy. However I have lost contact with her. I don't know what happened. But what I want to know is where you are. I don't want to lose contact with you. People in their 9 decades are very important to me. Please respond. I have a lot of stuff I want to send to you plus I want to speak with you in person.
Paul addressed the issue of a weak brother in Romans where they judging one another by what they doing. In Romans 2. They were too busy telling each what they were doing wrong. 😊
So would a good way to look at the little flock as it was used to lay the foundation to the world as an introduction to Christ then Paul was given the mystery and that built the church of Christ on top of that foundation?
Ryan Klos, if there is only one gospel, can you explain this. Galatians 2:7-9 KJVBut contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; [8] (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) [9] 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. Peter (Cephas) preached this to the circumcision (Israel). James 2:24 KJVYe see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Paul preached this to the Body of Christ. Romans 3:20-24 KJVTherefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. [21] But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; [22] Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; [24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Things that are different, are not the same.
The Greek word for Testament and the word for Covenant are the same.We find the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34. It was spoken by Christ at the Last Supper at Matthew 26:28. It is found fulfilled at Hebrews 8:6-13, 12:24, and is "everlasting" at Hebrews 13:20. On the Day of Pentecost Peter addressed the crowd as "men of Judea", then as "men of Israel", and in Acts 2:36 Peter said..."let all the house of Israel know." On that day about 3,000 Israelites accepted the New Covenant. We find the New Covenant Church at Revelation 12:11 in those under the Blood of the Lamb. A person cannot be under the Blood of the Lamb and not be under the Grace of the New Covenant of Christ. The Books of Galatians and Hebrews are about the battle between the Old Covenant and the New. It is still happening today. Those who claim God is going back to the Old "obsolete" (Hebrews 8:13) Covenant during a future 7 year period of time need to read their Bibles. There is no Plan B. The New Covenant Church of Christ is the Plan. In Romans chapter 11 the Olive Tree made up of Israelite branches grafted together with Gentile branches is a symbol of the New Covenant Church. All of Israel that is Israel (Romans 9:6) may be grafted back into the tree through faith in Christ. This is the "so", manner of their salvation in Romans 11:26. The covenant in Romans 11:27 is the New Covenant fulfilled for all races of people at Calvary.There is no plan of salvation outside of the Olive Tree, which is a symbol New Covenant Church of Christ.
the New Covenant is the final covenant between God and Israel in the Millennial reign. They will have the laws written in their inward parts. The New Testament is after Jesus Died on the Cross. The gospel of Grace , I believe, started after paul was saved and taught by the ascended Lord at Mount Sinai of Galations chapter 1.
Paul didn’t write all of epistles. For there were some men and women who were claiming to be Apostles. Christ mentions this in Revelations 2:1-7 to his Apostle John This preacher is definitely a follower of Paul and not of Christ’s.
Hope this helps you Lorenzo Hernandez. 1Co 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 1Co 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. Php 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
Where did Law Keeping Churches come from? A better ?? Where do Law Neglecting churches come from? The LAW is FAITH. Faith IS the LAW! Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. (THE LAW OF FAITH!) Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. (THE LAW of FAITH!) What do you do with these scriptures? True enough...We are not justified or saved by the WORKS of the law. The law will be written on our heart. This is the new covenant. If you dispense with all law - then you also dispense with the Lawgiver and all of His commandments. Then you do not hear His voice and His summary command to all from the Father to "Hear His Son!" You neglect the Father's testimony and it cannot be confirmed in your spirit. He testifies that He sent His Son and commands us to 'hear Him" No law = no command = disobedience= lawlessness!! Then Jesus gives us the commandment (law) to LOVE ONE ANOTHER as He loved us.. by obeying the Father and the Son. He obeyed His Father perfectly. We obey the Son and therefore we obey the Father (satisfy His command - His Law - which is FAITH) who gives us to the Son by commandment. How can you be under any covenant if you have no law at all? The LAW has never been abolished. It has been lifted up and it lifts all who hear it up to the LAW of FAITH - the same law Abraham - the Father of the faithful obeyed. Paul did not teach a different gospel than Peter. He received the gospel from Peter. (and from Christ's Revelation) The gentiles do not have a different gospel. There is only one truth. Lots of Good News in One Gospel! Not lots of gospels! Act 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my (Peter) mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. Dispensationalism is a WIDE lawless path that leads to destruction. Be warned! Don't go down it! 1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1Co 15:2 By which also ye are (shall be) saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; (buried, rose, etc.) How does this minister then claim that this is NOT the gospel? given this? Peter continues ... Act 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; Act 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. No difference in Jew or Greek. No different gospel! One gospel - one new creation in the same Jesus Christ!
Wouldn't people who try and keep the law be a type of perfectionism in the flesh? How do they think that abstaining from certain meats going to make you perfect in Christ. Jesus told us plainly that it is not what you put in your mouth that make unclean, but what comes out of the unclean heart. The law doesn't make you clean. 🤗
Thank you God bless you
In Every vid I've been learning something new
Excellent teaching. Context & progressive revelation, I've believed that for some time now, but never heard it explained the way you have done. Now the epistles of Paul should open up to a greater understanding.

Wow! Dispelled years of confusion in about an hour. And I have been listening to Grace teaching for years. Yet I have never heard these matters clearly set forth before this.
Thats just what I thought when I first heard this message
The BEST dispensational teaching I've ever heard. Thank you, God bless!

In the grip of grace
Powerful presentation brother Rodney...yes, most churches do teach “ you have to DO something “ to get saved and stay saved, so sad.
We’ve been saved
Thanks Rodney, the volume was a lot better. The teaching was clear and very helpful into understanding the right division between the kingdom church and the grace church. Unless people understand that there was two churches, they will never understand much of Pauline doctrine and it's significance.
Much needed teaching for all churches.
Wow that was powerful! All I can say is Amen !
Paul was the very first person saved by pure Grace outside of Israel, outside of the law and outside of the influence of the 12.
Not true. He was saved under the kingdom gospel

great teaching thanks
I just "happened" upon you today, Rodney, and am SO thankful!

Which sermon is the Corinthians 11 one please. I would like to listen. Thank you.
So would a good way to look at the little flock as it was used to lay the foundation to the world as an introduction to Christ then Paul was given the mystery and that built the church of Christ on top of that foundation?
Absolutely not!
I want one of those charts
Order the chart from Grace School of the Bible
Is there a possibility that Saul would have been there at the stoning of Stephen? If he was, wouldnt he have heard the Kingdom message?
Ryan Klos, if there is only one gospel, can you explain this.
Galatians 2:7-9 KJVBut contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; [8] (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) [9] 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.

Things that are different, are not the same.
Have anyone heard the argument of the Chruch of Christ being the only true church?
Rodney, the new Covenant and the new Testament what are the differences.When will the New Covenant Be given to the Little flock?

kept in the grip, of grace....yet this does not allow for continuous sin....such as living in adultery, of a non Biblical divorce, and remarriage...
