I was raised in a " full gospel" church/denomination full of false teaching and no assurance whatsoever. One could lose his salvation but no one could tell me if I had or what it takes to lose it. Led into despair, I fell into sin and hopelessness. I thank God for RC and people like him who preach the truth in love. One thing I heard RC say when I was very young was"sola scriptura" -it never left my mind.

I truly believe the day is coming when godless You Tube will remove every video and channel that preaches the uncompromising Word of the Bible. The warnings of scripture to those that perish will be labeled as hate speech and removed ... It's only a matter of time. I thank God we can still be edified by Ligonier's channel..Shalom and Maranatha!!
“The Baptism of Jesus (Rebirth in the Holy Spirit) The baptism administered by St. John the Baptist was a call for repentance and purification, the sign of the desire of the soul to be cleansed and to prepare the way and the space within herself for the gift of Redemption, the life of grace, the means of Salvation, which the longed-for Messiah, the Son of God made Man, would bring upon earth. The Sacramental Baptism instituted by Jesus frees the soul of the stain of original sin and activates the gift of grace within her, making her a child of God. However, the life of grace received through Baptism can be rendered sterile by lack of correspondence, or even suppressed by sin, since all Sacraments produce their effects within the soul according to her dispositions. But when the Divine Will reigns in the soul as her very life, baptizing every fiber of her being, she comes to possess the very source of grace, she lives of Divine Life; and that very Divine Will which has the power to purify, to baptize, to generate Divine Life is her Will too.” ❤️🔥
John was telling them to Repent because the Scribs and Pharisees were teaching AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD and Jesus was coming. Man can only fully Repent if God gives it. Man can do NOTHING of his own for Salvation. Salvation is ALL of GOD and NONE of man. Jesus is the AUTHOR "AND" FINISHER of OUR FAITH.
Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Not the Kingdom of God. John Baptized to Manifest Christ to fulfill all righteousness. This was the worst explanation I have heard for why John the Baptist was baptizing. Replacement theology is so disappointing!
Mathew said Kingdom of heaven because he was writing to the Jews and you know Jewish people are seriously careful to use the name of their GOD. So, if Mathew uses the word GOD, he must mention the word YAHWEH which many Jews won’t like it. That’s the reason Kingdom of heaven was written. Kingdom of heaven and GOD they are the same.
RC need not explain everything because he knows that those stuffs are basic and everyone who is following theology properly will surely comprehend what he is trying to say.
KOG is spiritual. KOH is physical. That’s a start. Get in a concordance and study this difference alone will expand your Bible understanding exponentially! 2 Tim 2:15
So what really happened is that Peter, Paul and a few other guys were watching Mary Magdalene and her friends take their weekly baths in the river. After they left they saw Jesus and John up river and they were playing some kind of naked dunking game. So Peter says, "Hey, what are you guys doing?" Jesus and John were caught off guard so John says, "Oh... um.... I'm dunking Jesus in the river like that story we heard in school about Achilles. You know, make him immortal." So the guys kinda say, "Oh, ok, whatever." As they are walking away Peter says, "Those two are always playing grab ass somewhere while the rest of us men are spying on the ladies." Then Paul says, "That John guy is Batshit Crazy, and now he's playing some naked dunking game with Jesus. I mean.... not that there's anything wrong with that." So from then on they referred to John as "John the Batshit". Move ahead a few centuries, several different language translations of the story, and "Batshit" became "Baptist". So basically baptism is based on two naked guys dunking each other in a river.
lol. John called Israel to be baptized for the forgiveness of sins. R.C Sproul doesn't teach that baptism is for the forgiveness of sins, but for babies. Sproul is a great teacher, but needs to read the his word.
Was that the only Baptism Israel received? Or do we see a pattern? Creation? Noah? Moses? I see a building upon His original covenant and absolutely no reason to fault Dr. Sproul over infant baptism.
Incorrect. Water baptism DOES NOT wash away ones transgressions of the Law and sin. Only the blood of Christ can perform that. One must Repent and believe. Then and only then is one baptized. Baptism is a public expression of ones faith in the Risen Savior.. If water baptism washes away sin why did the Lord insist John baptize Him? To forgive His sins? Was the thief crucified with the Lord not forgiven of his sin? He had only a very short time to live and no time to be baptized. Yet his sin was forgiven and the Lord promised THAT DAY he would be in paradise. Shalom.
@@HIMYMTR who can be redeemed to the Kingdom of Heaven, good question? Who did Christ pay a ransom for? The fallen angels, cats, trees? Nope, he did for humans, humans are born thru water at birth (angels were not.) Cats are born thru water but they are not Gods highest earthly creation(so they're out) trees aren't born thru water as animals so they're out. Fortunately we fit the requirements as humans, first we are born into this life thru water, then we can be born into Gods kingdom thru the Spirit.

We must all take to the depths of our souls the Lord's Word, "I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you."
Bull crap.
Sola Scriptura is falsehood.
Same with me brother. Praise God for His mercy and grace.

Beautiful, thank you Lord for your Word! Invaluable treasure
It's true what RC said, yet the main reason why John (Jesus' half cousin) came to baptize is given in
*John 1:29-34.
Where can we find the whole video ???
“The Baptism of Jesus (Rebirth in the Holy Spirit)

good explanation many thanks
why do the two witnesses come to mind when i hear this?
there must be a reason??
John was telling them to Repent because the Scribs and Pharisees were teaching AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD and Jesus was coming. Man can only fully Repent if God gives it. Man can do NOTHING of his own for Salvation. Salvation is ALL of GOD and NONE of man. Jesus is the AUTHOR "AND" FINISHER of OUR FAITH.
may I quote you on this above, please? Its true.
Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Not the Kingdom of God. John Baptized to Manifest Christ to fulfill all righteousness. This was the worst explanation I have heard for why John the Baptist was baptizing. Replacement theology is so disappointing!

He says Kingdom of heaven not kingdom of God. Very important difference!
Please do tell us the difference

Because they didn't have the Holy Spirit.

@@71superbee39 The thief died under the old law, nobody enters the kingdom of god without being born of water and the spirit
