In the beginning we are saved by grace through faith. We are made alive who were once dead in our trespasses and sin. God delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of his son, in whom we have redemption through his blood...we did not do anything, it is a gift from God...that is all true but that is not all there is to salvation, that is just the beginning of our lifelong journey, our walk. We are out of Egypt but have not arrived at promise land yet.....then when Christ returns, the son of man will send out his angles and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that offend and those who practice lawlessness and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father. He who has ears to hear let him hear....and as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for him, he will appear a second time apart from sin, for salvation....do not marvel at this for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation....for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order, Christ the firstfruits, afterwards those who are Christ at his coming.....according to scripture there is a difference between being saved in the beginning and being saved when Christ returns, judgement our resurrection. It not only matters if we believe, remain faithful, it also matters how we live, our walk, our righteousness.....if we endure we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us.....
So you didn’t turn from darkness to light? You don’t have to walk in the light? Doesn’t Paul say that you have to do that before forgiveness of sins? Acts 26:18 to open their eyes, 👉in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, 👉that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’ If you don’t turn from darkness or sin, you don’t have forgiveness of sins. If you don’t have forgiveness of sins, you’re not saved. Again. 1 John 1:7 But 👉if we walk in the light👈 as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and 👉the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. According to John, one must walk in the light as He Christ is in the light in order to have forgiveness of sins. Again, you can’t be saved if you’re not forgiven. Also, Jesus said one must lose their life in order to have life. Isn’t losing your life doing something? Jesus talked about one selling all other pearls in order to obtain the Pearl of Great Price. Isn’t selling all other pearls doing something? Furthermore, isn’t believing and confessing doing something? Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
@@voiceoftruth in the end when Christ returns everyone will be judged by what they have done.....true if do not believe then condemned already, but there is a difference between being saved in the beginning and being saved when Christ returns, judgement our resurrection. Jesus said those that do good will be resurrected unto life. How we live matters, what we do matters.....
@@Humblestudent04 If salvation is from sin and eternal life is a byproduct. What is the difference from initial salvation and final salvation? Matthew 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Salvation is from sin:)
@@voiceoftruth salvation is being saved from everlasting death, being given a resurrected body, and receiving life in the age to come. The promise of salvation is obtained by Gods grace through faith, (allegiance, trust, loyalty and obedience) in Christ as one holds fast to the Gospel till the end.....initial salvation God made us alive who were once dead in our trespasses and sin, God delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of his son...final salvation Jesus will save us from the wrath of God, 1Thessalonians1:10... everyone will face judgement, John5:28-29, Hebrews9:27-28.. so it not only matters if we believe remain faithful, it also matters how we live, our walk, our own righteousness...............Ezekiel18:20.....
@@Humblestudent04 If you are delivered from darkness in initial salvation as you stated, then you are delivered from a heart of rebellion towards God. This isn’t God doing it without your will being involved. One must turn from their sin, darkness to light even in initial salvation. This is not your own work as Ephesians 2:8-9 states. It’s a work wrought in God. John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, 👉that they are wrought in God.
Faith alone is not a license to sin. Because saving Faith is never alone. When we preach works as part of salvation without the distinction between Christ working in us aka “fruits of righteousness” fruits and works are closely correlated. We can preach a message that could lean one to earn their salvation through works of the law;this is a very very delicate matter. The enemy is on both sides of this doctrine pulling hard to draw some into a ditch. Ezk 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. The power to obey is a result of Gods Grace abiding in us. But it should be preached as a response that works in us. Like Godly sorrow works repentance. If someone repents without actually seeing their need and being pricked in their heart; then this is reformation and not a repentance granted from heaven that leads to regeneration or a genuine new birth. There is a lot of perverting of God’s grace that doesn’t include the Holiness that should follow. And this can cause us to pull hard on the other side. But I see some who pull too hard and fall over on the individuals response and not the drawing power of the Father and the conviction of the Holy Ghost etc.. as well as I see the administration of Grace without the Holiness that should follow. It’s often times not one side or the other but a rightful dividing of the scriptures or balancing of the entire word in Love. Stay balanced Brother ❤ Pro 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - The New International Version (NIV) 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-9 not by works, so that no one can boast. works are the fruit of salvation that earn rewards, not salvation. no works means you were never saved.
Lots of professing christians out there that are not saved. Very few being purified in the heart. I believe the preaching of false doctrine has allot to do with that. Salvation I is indeed a gift, but it must be held onto as a precious gift.

I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

Romans 2:13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; James 2:24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
Amen brother it absolutely boggles the mind that confessing believers can believe this apostate “faith alone” gospel that was conceived in the heart of man who called for the murdering of other confessing believers. 1 John 3-15 says he who hates his brother is a murderer and a murderer does not have eternal life abiding in him. So why would anyone believe anything that came out of this man’s mouth! That’s why Paul warned Timothy as you quoted in the beginning of the video to avoid doctrines of demons that would come through the lying lips of perverse men! Blessings continue to spread the genuine gospel my brother. 🙏🏻
Thanks brother! If you have any sources on how he was apart of murderous acts, please text it to me. God willing, I will be doing a longer version type documentary in the future.
Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner been really busy but I would highly recommend “Will the theologians please sit down” by David Bercot he gives references for all his Luther quotes. Chapter 15 in that book is quite eye opening to the murderous tyrant that Luther was when speaking of his encouragement to the German rulers to put to death the anabaptists by saying “the stubborn sectarians must be put death”. He also encouraged the Nobility to viciously slaughter the German peasants who were rebelling against the inhumane poverty they were living in. You can Google his rant on this matter which makes an Islamic terrorist seem mild in comparison. The murdering that Luther, Calvin and Zwingli encouraged their governments to carry out was absolutely demonic. The overwhelming majority of Protestant believers have absolutely no idea that they are following the teachings of men who were egotistical murdering tyrants and for 500 years Protestant theologians has almost completely ignored and and most likely intentionally hidden this truth knowing it would hinder their adherents from excepting the faith alone doctrine so easily. Brother I believe the Protestant doctrine of faith alone is as demonically inspired as Catholicism because it produces Luke warm believers who never forsake sin and the love of this world and it’s almost impossible to get the blinders off their eyes once their indoctrinated. Blessings keep up the good fight of faith! 🙏🏻
I agree but how do you strike a balance? Luther was a murderer, yes. But everything we are is thanks to Luther. He exposed the caltholic church AND made the bible available. I do not agree with everything Luther said, but we owe him a lot. I found myself in a similar situation. I am everything I am thanks to the church I went to, but they let woman be pastors and precaht tithing and other stuff... So I want to change churches, but they tell me the reason I can study my bible is thanks to them. And that I have listened to the woman pastors in the church and their sermons have edified me. I do not know what to do anymore
you have a very obvious misunderstanding of faith alone. faith alone means the imputed righteousness from God to the sinner, and then the sinner has faith, he or she believes in the work of salvation, which was the work and merit of Jesus Christ, atoning for our sins on the cross, and raising to justify us. Not only does the sinner believe but he or she bears fruit in good works, and good morals, and good teachings according to Scripture. so no, faith alone doesn’t give license to sin. read the entirety of Romans 6. You sin less as a true believer in Jesus Christ. Read Romans 7 also if you are so invested in sinless perfectionism. If you go on habitually and willfully sinning, then you had no faith to begin with, I agree. But if you are given true faith, you have eternal security and sin a lot less due to the grace of God. if you think your salvation was merited by you, you’d be majorly mistaken, believing in a false Gospel, which if you proclaim this false Gospel, you are anathema, damned, accursed according to Galatians. you as a human must humble yourself before God before you accept the good news, if you think any part of you contributed, then you haven’t been saved yet
2 Corinthians 61 We then, 👉as workers together with Him also plead with you 👉not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And 👉in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. What grace are you saved by according to Ephesians 2:8-10? 👇👇👇 Titus 2:10 For 👉the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 👉teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, James 1:21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, 👉which is able to save your souls. Where does Jesus imply you’re going if you don’t cut willful sin out of your life according to Jesus? Christ helps a person through His Spirit that convicts the world of sin, yet you must receive the grace that teaches you to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts! We are created in Christ Jesus for good works (Eph 2:10) Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, 👉than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, 👉than for your whole body to be cast into hell. Conclusion He came to save you from your sin, NOT in your sin! You must repent and turn from darkness (sin) to light in order to have forgiveness of sin. (Acts 26:18) Matthew 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for 👉He will save His people from their sins.” Acts 3:26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, 👉in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.” He was sent to the Jews and than to the Gentiles. Same message of salvation! Acts 26:18 to open their eyes, 👉in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, 👉that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’ Humble yourself to God’s Word and stop following man-made teachings!
@@bry440 I am not living in any rebellion towards God. Does this mean I can’t sin in the future. No. Does this mean I can’t make a mistake (sin of ignorance) a sin without any rebellious malicious intent towards God? No. It merely means I am not living presently in any willful sin and nor do I plan to sin in the future. If you haven’t stopped willingly sinning against God, what were you saved from? Again, where did Jesus imply you would be going if you don’t cut sin out of your life? Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, 👉than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, 👉than for your whole body to be cast into hell. What sin can Christ not deliver you from?
@@bry440 Of course by God! The Spirit convicts the world of sin. Of sin because they don’t believe. This is THE HELPER (2 Cor 6:1-2) John 16:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 👉of sin, because they do not believe in Me; Your turn to answer my questions…
Amen! It’s so clear! 1 Timothy 63 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 👉and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. 👉From such withdraw yourself.
The only works Paul spoke against was when people were seeking salvation through the works of the Mosaic Law, rather than through Jesus. Paul was not warning people against thinking that they needed to obey Jesus and put His teaching into practice in order to be saved. James 2:24 is pretty clear. The doctrine of justification by faith alone is unbiblical and misleading and should not be taught.
Romans 2:13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; Romans 2:6 who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: 7 👉eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 👉but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness-indignation and wrath, 2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and 👉that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Oh Brother-- have you not read beyond one verse to another? Read with the context of vs 10 it proves that both James and Paul got it right! 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Amen! Good works done in faith towards God and HIS WORD are acceptable works! Acts 10:35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. The work of obedience that starts in the heart is an acceptable work. Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or 👉of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, 👉yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.
Romans 3:20-28 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 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: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 4:2-6 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
You are right, you are justified by grace and not by “ THE WORKS OF THE LAW” ! What is grace according to a Biblical definition and a man made definition? Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, Therefore, you are not justified by 613 laws of Torah, circumcision, washings or rituals. Rather by turning to Christ who through His grace that BRINGS SALVATION! The GRACE that teaches you to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. Conclusion Justification comes through the conviction of The Holy Spirit that Christ sent, who is the HELPER and not through the law of Moses! Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of 👉obedience leading to righteousness?👈 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet 👉you obeyed from the heart👈 that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.
@@voiceoftruth We are justified by faith alone in Christ alone. Salvation has nothing to do with our works, and if you think so, you're haven't trusted in Christ alone to save you, and you think you have to be "obedient" and be your own little Saviour. Nobody is sinlessly perfect except God. You're preaching a false gospel! Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 4:4-5 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 5:1-2 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:8-11 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Titus 3:3-8 (Biblia) For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 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; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 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. Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Galatians 3:23-29 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
@@voiceoftruth You think turning from sins is a requirement for salvation (which is works), when in reality, salvation is all about what Christ did for us. We are justified by faith in Christ, your works don't save you or keep you saved. Whosoever believeth in him (Christ) hath everlasting life and is SEALED until the day of redemption. We should do good works after we are saved for all eternity, but not to be saved or stay saved. What you're doing is putting the cart before the horse. Grace and works don't mix. Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 4:4-5 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
@@voiceoftruth "Turning from sins" is works and following the law (the 10 commandments). 1 John 3:4-5 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1 John 5:11-13 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

And this is life eternal, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
The Bible says that eternal life is to KNOW the Father and Jesus. How are we able to know that we have come to KNOW the Father and Jesus? 1 John 2:3-4 says
3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. So, assurance of eternal life in Christ is to keep the commandments(plural) of Christ and by this we can KNOW that we KNOW Him and have eternal life. The Bible clearly says that whoever says they KNOW Him but does not keep His commandments(plural) is a LIAR!! Plain and simple.
The gospel that is taught to many people today has been reduced down to just "faith alone". This false gospel of "faith alone" has made following the commandments of Christ null and void. Obeying His commandments have been eliminated from the gospel and have been made subsequent and optional to salvation. Walking in the Spirit has been made optional as well. This false gospel of "faith alone" changes what Jesus said in Matthew 7:14 - For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Instead of following the biblical teaching on salvation in Christ, they follow this false gospel which tells them that they can be saved by "faith alone", apart from having to keep the commandments of Christ. By teaching that we do NOT need to keep the commandments(plural) of Christ as the gospel, the saving power of the gospel has been neutralized. The end result is that millions of people have been deceived by the devil's masterpiece into thinking they have eternal life in Christ when they actually do not.
The only person who ever "earned" their own salvation was Jesus Himself. We do not obey God to earn salvation. We obey God because we have been saved. Saving faith is never alone. Romans 8:7-9
What does Matthew 16:27; John 5:28-29, Romans 2:4-13, Galatians 6:7-10; 2 Corinthians 5:10; and Revelation 20:12-14 (among many others) teach about final judgment? It’s not a trick question, you just have to read the Bible.
@Progger_Frogger those who are in the flesh cannot keep God's commandments. Those who have the spirit of God dwelling within them can. Romand 8:7-9. Salvation produces obedience, obedience does not earn salvation. By the works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:16. Either the Scriptures contradict themselves, or they can be harmonized by the full council of God. I will stand in the judgment, trusting COMPLETELY in the righteousness of Christ. His righteousness given to me by faith in Him. May God open your eyes to see the Gospel.

Romans 2:13 literally says the doers of the law will be justified. There is a way to harmonize them, you just haven’t found it. Tell me why every verse I just cited (and every verse on final judgment) has nothing to do with a person’s faith and only has to do with a person’s works.
@@ogmakefirefiregood Show me where in the Bible it says Christ’s righteousness (ie the good deeds He did 2000 years ago which you falsely believe are accounted to you while you continue live as a sinner) will be of any avail to you on final judgment day.

In the beginning we are saved by grace through faith. We are made alive who were once dead in our trespasses and sin. God delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of his son, in whom we have redemption through his blood...we did not do anything, it is a gift from God...that is all true but that is not all there is to salvation, that is just the beginning of our lifelong journey, our walk. We are out of Egypt but have not arrived at promise land yet.....then when Christ returns, the son of man will send out his angles and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that offend and those who practice lawlessness and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father. He who has ears to hear let him hear....and as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for him, he will appear a second time apart from sin, for salvation....do not marvel at this for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation....for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order, Christ the firstfruits, afterwards those who are Christ at his coming.....according to scripture there is a difference between being saved in the beginning and being saved when Christ returns, judgement our resurrection. It not only matters if we believe, remain faithful, it also matters how we live, our walk, our righteousness.....if we endure we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us.....
So you didn’t turn from darkness to light? You don’t have to walk in the light?
Doesn’t Paul say that you have to do that before forgiveness of sins?
Acts 26:18 to open their eyes, 👉in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, 👉that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
If you don’t turn from darkness or sin, you don’t have forgiveness of sins. If you don’t have forgiveness of sins, you’re not saved.
Again.
1 John 1:7 But 👉if we walk in the light👈 as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and 👉the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
According to John, one must walk in the light as He Christ is in the light in order to have forgiveness of sins. Again, you can’t be saved if you’re not forgiven.
Also, Jesus said one must lose their life in order to have life. Isn’t losing your life doing something?
Jesus talked about one selling all other pearls in order to obtain the Pearl of Great Price. Isn’t selling all other pearls doing something?
Furthermore, isn’t believing and confessing doing something?
Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
@@voiceoftruth in the end when Christ returns everyone will be judged by what they have done.....true if do not believe then condemned already, but there is a difference between being saved in the beginning and being saved when Christ returns, judgement our resurrection. Jesus said those that do good will be resurrected unto life. How we live matters, what we do matters.....

If salvation is from sin and eternal life is a byproduct. What is the difference from initial salvation and final salvation?
Matthew 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Salvation is from sin:)
@@voiceoftruth salvation is being saved from everlasting death, being given a resurrected body, and receiving life in the age to come. The promise of salvation is obtained by Gods grace through faith, (allegiance, trust, loyalty and obedience) in Christ as one holds fast to the Gospel till the end.....initial salvation God made us alive who were once dead in our trespasses and sin, God delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of his son...final salvation Jesus will save us from the wrath of God, 1Thessalonians1:10... everyone will face judgement, John5:28-29, Hebrews9:27-28.. so it not only matters if we believe remain faithful, it also matters how we live, our walk, our own righteousness...............Ezekiel18:20.....

If you are delivered from darkness in initial salvation as you stated, then you are delivered from a heart of rebellion towards God. This isn’t God doing it without your will being involved. One must turn from their sin, darkness to light even in initial salvation. This is not your own work as Ephesians 2:8-9 states. It’s a work wrought in God.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, 👉that they are wrought in God.
the faith of devils alone can save you... from disappointing your father the devil.
Faith alone is not a license to sin. Because saving Faith is never alone.
When we preach works as part of salvation without the distinction between Christ working in us aka “fruits of righteousness” fruits and works are closely correlated. We can preach a message that could lean one to earn their salvation through works of the law;this is a very very delicate matter.
The enemy is on both sides of this doctrine pulling hard to draw some into a ditch. Ezk 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
The power to obey is a result of Gods Grace abiding in us. But it should be preached as a response that works in us. Like Godly sorrow works repentance. If someone repents without actually seeing their need and being pricked in their heart; then this is reformation and not a repentance granted from heaven that leads to regeneration or a genuine new birth.
There is a lot of perverting of God’s grace that doesn’t include the Holiness that should follow. And this can cause us to pull hard on the other side.
But I see some who pull too hard and fall over on the individuals response and not the drawing power of the Father and the conviction of the Holy Ghost etc.. as well as I see the administration of Grace without the Holiness that should follow. It’s often times not one side or the other but a rightful dividing of the scriptures or balancing of the entire word in Love.
Stay balanced Brother ❤
Pro 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - The New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
works are the fruit of salvation that earn rewards, not salvation. no works means you were never saved.
Lots of professing christians out there that are not saved. Very few being purified in the heart. I believe the preaching of false doctrine has allot to do with that. Salvation I is indeed a gift, but it must be held onto as a precious gift.

Amen brother it absolutely boggles the mind that confessing believers can believe this apostate “faith alone” gospel that was conceived in the heart of man who called for the murdering of other confessing believers. 1 John 3-15 says he who hates his brother is a murderer and a murderer does not have eternal life abiding in him. So why would anyone believe anything that came out of this man’s mouth! That’s why Paul warned Timothy as you quoted in the beginning of the video to avoid doctrines of demons that would come through the lying lips of perverse men! Blessings continue to spread the genuine gospel my brother. 🙏🏻
Thanks brother! If you have any sources on how he was apart of murderous acts, please text it to me. God willing, I will be doing a longer version type documentary in the future.
Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner been really busy but I would highly recommend “Will the theologians please sit down” by David Bercot he gives references for all his Luther quotes. Chapter 15 in that book is quite eye opening to the murderous tyrant that Luther was when speaking of his encouragement to the German rulers to put to death the anabaptists by saying “the stubborn sectarians must be put death”. He also encouraged the Nobility to viciously slaughter the German peasants who were rebelling against the inhumane poverty they were living in. You can Google his rant on this matter which makes an Islamic terrorist seem mild in comparison. The murdering that Luther, Calvin and Zwingli encouraged their governments to carry out was absolutely demonic. The overwhelming majority of Protestant believers have absolutely no idea that they are following the teachings of men who were egotistical murdering tyrants and for 500 years Protestant theologians has almost completely ignored and and most likely intentionally hidden this truth knowing it would hinder their adherents from excepting the faith alone doctrine so easily. Brother I believe the Protestant doctrine of faith alone is as demonically inspired as Catholicism because it produces Luke warm believers who never forsake sin and the love of this world and it’s almost impossible to get the blinders off their eyes once their indoctrinated. Blessings keep up the good fight of faith! 🙏🏻
I agree but how do you strike a balance? Luther was a murderer, yes. But everything we are is thanks to Luther. He exposed the caltholic church AND made the bible available. I do not agree with everything Luther said, but we owe him a lot. I found myself in a similar situation. I am everything I am thanks to the church I went to, but they let woman be pastors and precaht tithing and other stuff... So I want to change churches, but they tell me the reason I can study my bible is thanks to them. And that I have listened to the woman pastors in the church and their sermons have edified me. I do not know what to do anymore
you have a very obvious misunderstanding of faith alone. faith alone means the imputed righteousness from God to the sinner, and then the sinner has faith, he or she believes in the work of salvation, which was the work and merit of Jesus Christ, atoning for our sins on the cross, and raising to justify us. Not only does the sinner believe but he or she bears fruit in good works, and good morals, and good teachings according to Scripture. so no, faith alone doesn’t give license to sin. read the entirety of Romans 6. You sin less as a true believer in Jesus Christ. Read Romans 7 also if you are so invested in sinless perfectionism. If you go on habitually and willfully sinning, then you had no faith to begin with, I agree. But if you are given true faith, you have eternal security and sin a lot less due to the grace of God. if you think your salvation was merited by you, you’d be majorly mistaken, believing in a false Gospel, which if you proclaim this false Gospel, you are anathema, damned, accursed according to Galatians. you as a human must humble yourself before God before you accept the good news, if you think any part of you contributed, then you haven’t been saved yet
2 Corinthians 61 We then, 👉as workers together with Him also plead with you 👉not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And 👉in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
What grace are you saved by according to Ephesians 2:8-10?
👇👇👇
Titus 2:10 For 👉the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 👉teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
James 1:21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, 👉which is able to save your souls.
Where does Jesus imply you’re going if you don’t cut willful sin out of your life according to Jesus? Christ helps a person through His Spirit that convicts the world of sin, yet you must receive the grace that teaches you to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts! We are created in Christ Jesus for good works (Eph 2:10)
Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, 👉than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, 👉than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
Conclusion
He came to save you from your sin, NOT in your sin! You must repent and turn from darkness (sin) to light in order to have forgiveness of sin. (Acts 26:18)
Matthew 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for 👉He will save His people from their sins.”
Acts 3:26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, 👉in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”
He was sent to the Jews and than to the Gentiles. Same message of salvation!
Acts 26:18 to open their eyes, 👉in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, 👉that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
Humble yourself to God’s Word and stop following man-made teachings!

I am not living in any rebellion towards God. Does this mean I can’t sin in the future.

Again, where did Jesus imply you would be going if you don’t cut sin out of your life?
Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, 👉than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, 👉than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

Of course by God! The Spirit convicts the world of sin. Of sin because they don’t believe. This is THE HELPER (2 Cor 6:1-2)
John 16:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 👉of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
Your turn to answer my questions…
Amen. Final judgment of works is literally part of the Gospel (Luke 3:1-18; Matthew 16:27, Romans 2:4-13), and the faith alone heresy denies it.
Amen! It’s so clear!
1 Timothy 63 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 👉and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. 👉From such withdraw yourself.
The only works Paul spoke against was when people were seeking salvation through the works of the Mosaic Law, rather than through Jesus. Paul was not warning people against thinking that they needed to obey Jesus and put His teaching into practice in order to be saved. James 2:24 is pretty clear. The doctrine of justification by faith alone is unbiblical and misleading and should not be taught.
Romans 2:13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
Romans 2:6 who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: 7 👉eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 👉but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness-indignation and wrath,
2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and 👉that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Amen brother! Thanks for the comment. Very true, Paul never spoke against obedience to Christ.
Oh Brother-- have you not read beyond one verse to another? Read with the context of vs 10 it proves that both James and Paul got it right! 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Amen! Good works done in faith towards God and HIS WORD are acceptable works!
Acts 10:35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.
The work of obedience that starts in the heart is an acceptable work.
Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or 👉of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, 👉yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.
Romans 3:20-28 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
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:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 4:2-6 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
You are right, you are justified by grace and not by “ THE WORKS OF THE LAW” !
What is grace according to a Biblical definition and a man made definition?
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
Therefore, you are not justified by 613 laws of Torah, circumcision, washings or rituals. Rather by turning to Christ who through His grace that BRINGS SALVATION! The GRACE that teaches you to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts.
Conclusion
Justification comes through the conviction of The Holy Spirit that Christ sent, who is the HELPER and not through the law of Moses!
Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of 👉obedience leading to righteousness?👈 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet 👉you obeyed from the heart👈 that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

Is turning from darkness (sin), you doing something? Forgiveness of sins or justification happens AFTER a person does that! Grant it, OBEDIENCE STARTS IN THE HEART.

John 17:3 says
And this is life eternal, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
The Bible says that eternal life is to KNOW the Father and Jesus.
How are we able to know that we have come to KNOW the Father and Jesus?
1 John 2:3-4 says
3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
So, assurance of eternal life in Christ is to keep the commandments(plural) of Christ and by this we can KNOW that we KNOW Him and have eternal life. The Bible clearly says that whoever says they KNOW Him but does not keep His commandments(plural) is a LIAR!! Plain and simple.
The gospel that is taught to many people today has been reduced down to just "faith alone". This false gospel of "faith alone" has made following the commandments of Christ null and void. Obeying His commandments have been eliminated from the gospel and have been made subsequent and optional to salvation. Walking in the Spirit has been made optional as well. This false gospel of "faith alone" changes what Jesus said in Matthew 7:14 - For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Instead of following the biblical teaching on salvation in Christ, they follow this false gospel which tells them that they can be saved by "faith alone", apart from having to keep the commandments of Christ.
By teaching that we do NOT need to keep the commandments(plural) of Christ as the gospel, the saving power of the gospel has been neutralized. The end result is that millions of people have been deceived by the devil's masterpiece into thinking they have eternal life in Christ when they actually do not.
The only person who ever "earned" their own salvation was Jesus Himself. We do not obey God to earn salvation. We obey God because we have been saved. Saving faith is never alone. Romans 8:7-9
What does Matthew 16:27; John 5:28-29, Romans 2:4-13, Galatians 6:7-10; 2 Corinthians 5:10; and Revelation 20:12-14 (among many others) teach about final judgment? It’s not a trick question, you just have to read the Bible.
@Progger_Frogger those who are in the flesh cannot keep God's commandments. Those who have the spirit of God dwelling within them can. Romand 8:7-9. Salvation produces obedience, obedience does not earn salvation. By the works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:16. Either the Scriptures contradict themselves, or they can be harmonized by the full council of God. I will stand in the judgment, trusting COMPLETELY in the righteousness of Christ. His righteousness given to me by faith in Him. May God open your eyes to see the Gospel.

You didn’t harmonize anything. You simply ignored every verse I cited and asserted verses you believe contradict the verses I cited. Romans 2:13 literally says the doers of the law will be justified. There is a way to harmonize them, you just haven’t found it. Tell me why every verse I just cited (and every verse on final judgment) has nothing to do with a person’s faith and only has to do with a person’s works.

Show me where in the Bible it says Christ’s righteousness (ie the good deeds He did 2000 years ago which you falsely believe are accounted to you while you continue live as a sinner) will be of any avail to you on final judgment day. I gave you 6+ verses proving your works are what God weighs on final judgment, now provide one verse that supports your theory.
