Thank you brother for this message. It's so hard to find people these days who teach/preach the true gospel of Jesus without adding a bunch of works to it. The gospel message should bring with it a joy and peace and assurance in knowing Christ has brought us eternal life, not the condemnation and questioning that legalism brings.

Your faith is dead without works (James says that) and do it won't help you. Even demons believe in Christ.

[@manuelester7420]

Salvation produces good works, not the other way around. Therefore, a changed life proves one is born again. No change, means your faith is dead and cannot save you. That's all in the bible. Doing good works dont save you, they just show that you're saved. A saved person doesn't credit his salvation to his good deeds. A saved person can't help but do good deeds. Because children of God, do good deeds and bare good fruit. They can't help it. Satan's kids can't help living in a constant sinful lifestyle and think nothing's wrong with them. Same with people who think they're saved but aren't. They think that their constant sin and growing sinful patterns doesn't prove that they're really children of the devil, when they are. Thats So sad.🥺

@Alvin Fen come as little children but leave born again and made new. The works follow true faith. No works means no faith. Doing work s don't save you. They prove you believe and are saved. Now if you think that your works save you, you're not saved. You're deceived. All of you who have something against works, y'all are deceived. Because saved people produce good works that God ordained for them to do, before he ever created earth. Salvation produces good works, not the other way around.

There is no such thing as a gay Christian. He's saying repent and believe the gospel, and the rest is a matter of Christian maturity. Practising homosexuality is so blatantly a sin that as a regenerate person, you will turn from it, as you will all other sins.

The problem today is that many false teachers from the Calvinist/Lordship Salvation camp will falsely teach that LGBT people cannot be saved based upon a faulty understanding and eisegesis of 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. However, the above text says "WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD". There is a difference between "inheriting the kingdom" versus "ENTERING THE KINGDOM". Entering the kingdom of God is FREE as eternal life is a free gift that is not of our works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Romans 4:2-6, Romans 9:31-32, Romans 10:4, Romans 11:6, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:21, Galatians 3:6, Galatians 5:4, Titus 3:5, Genesis 15:6. INHERITING THE KINGDOM has to do with ETERNAL REWARDS and REIGNING WITH CHRIST which are EARNED privileges based on our performance here in this earthly life - 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, Matthew 25:14-30, Luke 19:11-27, Revelation 2:26, Revelation 3:21, 2 Timothy 2:12-13. If saved believers including people from the LGBT community fail to abide, endure, and persevere in their faith, then they will NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD in the form of eternal rewards and the privilege of reigning with Christ, BUT THEY ARE STILL SAVED AND WILL BE GOING TO HEAVEN. 1) FAITHFUL CHRISTIANS in this life that lived obediently, and faithfully and did things that have eternal value will be granted with eternal rewards, and for some, the earned privilege of reigning with Christ in the Millennium is granted - 2 Timothy 2:12, Revelation 3:21, and Revelation 2:26. Their lives will be tested with fire (Christ's fiery scrutiny) and WILL PASS THE TEST and be granted eternal rewards and some will reign with Christ. 2) UNFAITHFUL CHRISTIANS in this life that lived disobediently, and carnally will have their works tested with the fire of Christ's scrutiny at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Their lives, that is, their works had no eternal value and WILL FAIL THE TEST and be denied eternal rewards, BUT are still saved because eternal life is a free gift apart from works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Romans 4:2-6, Romans 9:32, Romans 11:6, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:21, Gal ch. 3, Galatians 5:4, Titus 3:5. If we Christians deny Christ in this life by living unfaithfully, disobediently, or carnally in this life, then Christ will DENY us ETERNAL REWARDS (latter half of 2 Timothy 2:12), but our eternal salvation remains intact and untouched as 2 Timothy 2:13 clearly states. 2 John 1:8 - Watch out that you do not LOSE what we have WORKED FOR, but that you may be REWARDED FULLY. God sometimes punishes unfaithful Christians who are saved with SICKNESS and premature PHYSICAL DEATH who are living in willful sin which is in essence defiling themselves - 1 Corinthians 3:17, 1 John 5:16-17, but they are still saved. The Christians in the Corinthian church who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper are a classic example - 1 Corinthians 11:20-22, 1 Corinthians 11:29-30. Eternal life is FREE, BUT inheriting the kingdom/eternal rewards/reigning with Christ are EARNED. There is a big difference. This is what 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 is talking about which takes place at the future Judgment Seat of Christ (Bema Seat) 2 Corinthians 5:10. 10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder WILL SUFFER LOSS, but YET WILL BE SAVED-even though only as one escaping through the flames. The "gold", "silver", and "costly stones" represents faithful Christian's works in this life that had eternal value and will STAND UP to the fire used to test it, but the "wood", "hay", and "straw" represents unfaithful Christian's works in this life that had no eternal value, but will BURN UP in the fire used to test it. The "gold, "silver", and "costly stones" symbolize a life of obedience, commitment, perseverance, faithfulness, endurance under trial, etc. but the "wood", "hay", and "straw" symbolizes a life of unfaithfulness, disobedience, carnality, laziness, etc. Again, the "burned up" and "flames" in verse 15 is not referring to the flames of hell, but is referring to the works of the carnal, unfaithful, and disobedient Christians in this life that had no eternal value that is BURNED UP when tested with Christ's fiery scrutiny. Their eternal salvation remains intact and untouched, for eternal life is a free gift apart from works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Romans 4:2-6, Romans 6:23, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 2:21. 2 Timothy 2:12-13 - 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, YET HE ABIDETH FAITHFUL: he cannot deny himself. If saved Christians, including those in the LGBT community fail to endure/suffer/persevere under trial, etc, in this life, but live carnally, disobediently, and unfaithfully, then Christ will deny them eternal rewards/reigning with Christ at the future Bema Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, BUT THEY ARE STILL SAVED - 1 Corinthians 3:14-15. In conclusion, UNFAITHFUL Christians in this life who lived disobediently and carnally will experience chastisement in this life from God including SICKNESS and premature PHYSICAL DEATH for some - 1 John 5:16-17, Proverbs 15:10, Hebrews 12:5-11, Jeremiah 2:19, 1 Corinthians 11:29-30, Acts 5:1-10, and experience SHAME (1 John 2:28) and a forfeiture of ETERNAL REWARDS at the Judgment Seat of Christ, but loss of eternal life is NEVER one of the consequences - 1 Corinthians 3:15, 2 Timothy 2:13.

[@irataylor5083]

I'm afraid you are mistaken dear friend. Those unfaithful, disobedient, carnal "christians don't belong to Christ and will sadly hear those words our Lord Jesus warned about in Matthew 7: 21-23. "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, will ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, but only the one who DOES the will of My Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, drive out demons in your name, and do many miracles in your name? Then I will announce to them, I Never knew you. DEPART FROM ME YOU WORKERS OF INIQUITY." Those who practice a lifestyle of sin and refuse to repent will neither inherit nor enter the kingdom of God. "Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous." "He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the work of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin ,(does not live a life of willful sin) for His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin ( practice intentional sin ) because he has been born of God." "In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NOR IS HE WHO DOES NOT LOVE HIS BROTHER." 1st John 3:7-10.

@@irataylor5083 Unfaithful, disobedient, and carnal Christians that are saved still belong to Christ because CHRIST IS AN UNFAILING SAVIOR who does not go back on His promises in His Word in spite of our many failures, shortcomings, and screw ups in this life - John 10:28-29, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15. Our salvation and eternal security in Christ is not dependent upon our performance in this life as all our righteousness are FILTHY RAGS in God's sight. You have taken Matthew 7:21-23 out of context and misapplying it. The WILL OF THE FATHER is NOT obedience, commitment, perseverance, faithfulness, practicing righteousness, etc, but the WILL OF THE FATHER is John 6:40 and John 6:28-29. John 6:40 - And this is THE WILL OF HIM that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH ON HIM, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:28-29 - 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, THAT YE BELIEVE ON HIM WHOM HE HATH SENT.

Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. Acts 20:21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith (believe) in our Lord Jesus. Acts 22:16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name. Baptism follows repentance. Acts 26:20 First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds. Read Paul's dire warning about those who reject repenting of sin. Romans 2:4-8 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” a 7To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

Where does conversion come into this? Can LGBT say "Thanks for saving me, but I'm going to carry on as I have been, I have *pride* in my lifestyle and I will not change because I don't want to" I can understand how someone would battle with sin, but I find it hard to believe that someone who is born again would still willingly, pridefully want to disobey God's ways even though they've been enlightened and equipped by the Holy Spirit to make war against sin. Romans 6 1¶What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Samson is a true man of God and at the same time a FORNICATOR - Judges 16:1 who led Israel for 20 years - Judges 16:31. The Bible is clear that he saw a prostitute and spent the night with her and what is described in Mark 7:20-23 and Galatians 5:19 was in Samson's heart at that very moment. God departed him in regards to fellowship because of his fornication with a prostitute and then he later foolishly revealed the secret of his incredible strength to Delilah whom he fell in love with (Judges 16:17) As a painful consequence of his giving away his secret, Samson was captured by the Philistines and had both his eyes gouged out - Judges 16:17-21, and the Philistines also degraded and ridiculed Samson publicly - Judges 16:25. Samson may have loved Delilah, but it was obvious that Delilah did not love him as she revealed the secret of Samson's great strength to the Philistines. Samson's last prayer just before his simultaneous murder/suicide was NOT a prayer of repentance, but was a request to God to strengthen him so that he could get REVENGE on the Philistines for the loss of his 2 eyes. Then in Judges 16:28-30, Samson commits a simultaneous MURDER/SUICIDE.Yet Samson is listed as a Godly man of faith in Hebrews 11:32. Samson would not be listed there if he was unsaved. Samson is a true man of God who is saved as indicated in Judges 13:7, and Judges 13:24. Samson lost his fellowship with God, lost his strength, lost his 2 eyes, and then lost his physical life as a result of his fornicating with a prostitute and revealing his secret to Delilah which resulted in his capture by the Philistines, but Samson did not lose his salvation in God. People in the Old Testament were saved the exact same way as people in New Testament times, otherwise the apostle Paul would not have quoted Genesis 15:6 in Romans 4:2-6, and Galatians 3:5-8 in support of SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE APART FROM OUR WORKS.

There are many people who are Roman Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah's Witnesses, Calvinists, Arminians, etc, who experience life change, but are not saved. Calvinists/Lordship Salvation people will no doubt dismiss Christians who don't exhibit positive life change and exhibit good works as "unsaved false professors with non saving faith" based upon a faulty understanding and eisegesis of such passages like Luke 8:6-7/Luke 8:13-14, 2 Corinthians 13:5, 1 Corinthians 9:27, James 2:14-26, etc, that are all taken in isolation and out of context. There are scores of people who experience life change after spending many years in prison and then going through rehab, but many are not saved and are of a false religion like Buddhism, etc. Good works and good moral behavior and ethics can be seen in people like philanthropists, humanitarianists, the Boys/Girls Scouts of America, some martial artists, Yoga practitioners, and even among some atheists, but again, many of these people are unsaved and sometimes these people can exist side by side with Free Grace believers who don't exhibit good attributes.

@Alvin Fen I see my previous response to your reply was not retained so I will make another attempt. AF, you wrote "Jesus never told her she needed to leave the affair she was having. Even though He did not approve of it." Pure speculation on your part. Scripture does not reveal all that may have been said in this conversation or the final fallout for this woman. The point of this video isn't eternal security of the believer which scripture does teach, but about LGBT people. No one can encounter Jesus and His gift of salvation, profess belief and continue to lead an immoral lifestyle such as gender confusion or living as a reprobate. True belief in Christ leads a person to realize there is no reconciliation with sin. Scripture teaches that any believer retains their sinful nature while at the same time, becomes a vessel for inhabitation by the Holy Spirit. A dichotomy which produces new things: a will to follow after the Spirit, a newfound appreciation of the destruction of sin, and a realization that we are bought with a price, that is, the precious blood of Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Those who teach that a person can profess faith in Christ and His work and then continue on with same attitude toward sin as before, are teaching heresy. For example, Romans Chapter (1) makes clear God's view on His design for sexuality. Those embracing gender confusion and LGBT lifestyles are just raising their middle finger to God's face. Can these folks be saved? Of course. If they are "born again" will they continue to support their distorted lifestyle? No.

A believer's sins are not counted against them, and they have God's perfect record of righteousness given to them. After one is saved, their sinful flesh birth is still the same as it was, that is why saved people still commit sin with their body. 1 John 3:9 states that he who is born of God (new spiritual creature inside the believer) does not commit sin, and cannot sin. Philippians 3:21 shows that God will (future) change the vile (evil) body of every believer into a glorious body. 2 Corinthians 5:19 - To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:20 - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 - For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 1 John 3:9 - Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Thank God for you + Almost every one of the former pastors that I have communicated with on-line will roundly condemn Lordship Salvation, insist that metanoia/repentance is a change of mind about how one is saved (through faith alone, by grace), THEN when they learn that you are gay they will insist it is a sinful 'choice' and that you must repent of being homosexual in order to be born again and saved, thus completely controverting the very message of salvation that they preach! It is maddeningly frustrating that almost every Bible-believing pastor insists on this double standard for LGBT people coming to Christ. They refuse to believe that anyone could be born with same-sex attraction and that it is not a conscious, sinful and perverted choice. This is the problem many LGBT Christians face when it comes to finding a church community. If they go to a welcoming & affirming church, they are warmly embraced and unconditionally loved but hear a social gospel, watered down, focusing on this world and ignoring evangelical truths. If they go to a 'Bible-believing' church they will be told that they must first stop 'promoting homosexuality' (which in their understanding means simply being LGBT and breathing, completely regardless of anything they may do or not do in their daily life!) otherwise they are not saved, born again, redeemed by the precious Blood of Jesus Christ or indwelt by His Holy Spirit (otherwise, if they truly were, they would have 'stopped being gay'). So, many of us are caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place and remain without any church community to call home. Please, continue to preach the truth about LGBT people and pray for those of us who can find no Bible-believing church or pastor that, like you, holds to the unconditional promise of salvation for all who seek it in Christ Jesus through faith alone by grace.

A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 1 Peter 1:14-16 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:” John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.” 1 John 5:3 In In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome. Psalms 32:5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin..

Ephesians 1:13 Means In which sense the word "sealing" is used here, and intends that assurance which God gives his people of their interest in his love, and the covenant of grace; of their election of God, and redemption by Christ; of their interest in Christ, and union with him; of their justification by repentance by Him, and adoption through Him; of the truth of grace in their hearts. Their perseverance in it, The persons thus sealed ARE NOT CARNAL AND NOT unconverted unrepentant persons, only true believers in Christ, and these, after they commence such; the seal by which they are sealed, is not any of the ordinances, such as circumcision under the Old Testament. To receive the gift of the Holy Spirit repentance must come first. Acts 2:38,41 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 41Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. The disciples would not water baptize anyone until they repented of sin. Acts16:32-33.

Where does the Bible say that we must renounce sin to be converted?

[@kenjohnson6164]

@@GoyimNewsNetwork The Bible teaches that repentance is an essential component of conversion, which involves turning away from sin and turning towards God. The word "repent" means to change one's mind or direction, and it is used throughout the New Testament to describe the act of turning away from sin and towards God. In Acts 3:19, Peter preaches to the crowd, "Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out." In this passage, repentance is connected to the forgiveness of sins. Similarly, in Acts 26:20, Paul describes his ministry, saying, "but declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance." Here, repentance is connected to a changed life and behavior. In 1 John 1:9, it says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This verse implies that confessing our sins is part of repentance and conversion. In Luke 13:3, Jesus says, "No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." This emphasizes the importance of repentance and its connection to eternal life. In conclusion, while the exact phrase "renounce sin" may not appear in the Bible, the concept of turning away from sin and towards God is a central part of repentance and conversion. Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, we can receive forgiveness of sins and new life in Him.

you love them and teach them. even if it appears they are rolling their eyes and rejecting the teaching, if they have truly believed, God deals with their heart. thats why churches should make a DIFFERENCE between being a mere believer and being a church member. most churches say ur a member once they baptize you. but that shouldnt be the case. you should TEACH them what is required to be a church member, THEN give them the option to join. IF they join, knowing what the church expects, THEN discipline them once they fall outside those requirements. probably baptism should come AFTER the church teaches them, since Jesus said, "go, teach, baptize". however, if at the point of teaching, they decline to join the church, they are still saved, but God will pursue their heart and urge them toward holiness

Acts 26:20 says, "I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds." In this chapter, the apostle Paul is giving his defense before King Agrippa and other officials. He recounts his conversion experience and how he went from persecuting Christians to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. In verse 18, Paul states that his mission was to open the eyes of the Gentiles and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God. He also notes that this turning would result in the forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus Christ. In verse 19, Paul declares that he did not disobey the heavenly vision he received, but instead he preached the message of repentance to both Jews and Gentiles. He emphasized that he preached not only that people should repent, but also that they should turn to God and demonstrate their repentance through their deeds. The context of this passage highlights the importance of repentance as an essential component of salvation. Paul's message was not just about believing in Jesus, but also about turning away from sin and turning towards God. The evidence of true repentance is a changed life that reflects obedience to God's commands. In summary, Acts 26:20 underscores the importance of repentance as an essential aspect of salvation. Paul preached not only that people should repent of their sins, but also that they should turn to God and demonstrate their repentance through their deeds. This passage teaches that true repentance leads to a changed life that reflects obedience to God's commands.

@Alvin Fen So based on your assumption John should be the Only Gospel we look to for instruction? Nothing else should be used? What do you mean repentance as to with harmony with God? We can have a relationship with God without actual repentance? No, we cannot have a relationship with God without repentance. Repentance is a crucial element of the gospel message and is necessary for our salvation and our relationship with God. Acts 2:38 (KJV) - "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." In this verse, Peter tells his listeners that repentance is a prerequisite for receiving the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Luke 24:47 (KJV) - "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." Here, Jesus instructs his disciples to preach repentance and the forgiveness of sins to all nations, indicating that repentance is an essential part of the gospel message.

@Alvin Fen By the way, if you believe changing from unbelief to belief is what repent means, You should also know that unbelief is also a sin. So you are repenting of sin (unbelief) Yes, the Bible does teach that unbelief is a sin. Here are a few verses that address this topic: John 16:8-9 (KJV) - "And when he come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement: Of sin, because they believe not on me." In this verse, Jesus tells his disciples that one of the roles of the Holy Spirit will be to convict the world of sin, specifically the sin of not believing in Jesus. Hebrews 3:12 (KJV) - "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God." The author of Hebrews warns his readers against the danger of unbelief, which can lead to a departing from God and the loss of salvation. Mark 16:16 (KJV) - "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." In this verse, Jesus emphasizes the importance of belief as a condition for salvation and warns that those who do not believe will be condemned. These verses (and others) teach that unbelief is a sin because it involves a rejection of God and his truth, and it can lead to spiritual death and separation from God.

If you don't believe that Jesus gives everlasting life to whosoever believes then you simply don't believe in Jesus Christ. If you're not truly safe then you're not truly saved, think about it.

Lifestyle change is evidence of salvation. Sure we sin less as we grow in Christ, from faith to faith, but if you say you believe in Jesus and you only sin more and more, you're not saved at all. Your lifestyle proves it. Born again means you're a new creature. The old ways are gone and all things about you are literally new.

James 2:21-24 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”-and he was called a friend of God. 24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

It is harmful to promote cheap grace... Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:6‭-‬14 ESV

If all we have to do is say we believe and that's it then why didn't John stop after verse 18? 19And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God. 36Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. To merely say I believe while loving darkness,and living in unrepentant sin HATES THE LIGHT by not obeying the Son. Repentance followed by obedience results in a lifestyle change that is saving Faith.

Actually, the "gospel" is not an "invitation", rather, it is a declaration or proclamation that ALL are saved in Christ. Virtually all of Christianity believes that people must make a "decision" before dying. That is not true, otherwise, countless millions who never heard of Him would be lost, and the father DESIRES that no one is lost. "Scripture" even states that the Father WILL make all his desires come to pass!. God has no time limit on how long it takes to change a person with HIS love. The bottom line is that none will perish because ALL have been made alive with Christ and will realize it and bow their knee in gratitude in this life or beyond. No one can resist the love of God when it is revealed to them. Peace.

@Alvin Fen Saying faith is propositional. And therefore salvation is based on proposition's. Matt 7:21-23, John 8:24,... Again, is walking on dangerous ground. I am trained more in the technical field. Hence, i rely on benchmarks, not propositions. And i think, you are, miss-interpreting ,what i am ,trying to say. I don't believe in works ,or progressive salvation. And i will explain. Where i am coming from. In the proposition statement 'Most in Christianity believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead, but do not believe that anyone who simply believes in Him has everlasting life' versus the idea of ,law or works. Is like saying being Holy, and being Righteous, are incompatible. You cannot separate them ,these two things , work together. However, being Holy ,and being Righteous ,are not the same thing. YHWH says be Holy Lev 19:2. YHWH says if we obey HIS commandments. We will be counted as Righteous Deut 6:25. And Righteousness, can even be imputed. And Abraham believed, therefore YHWH counted him as Righteous ,because of his faith Gen 15:6. YHWH never says that we are to be Righteous. YHWH says be HOLY, in the state of HOLINESS, not imputed, or works. And the Hebrews understood ,long before ,John 3:16 was ever penned. They understood the consequences. Of not being Holy, following the Law (Romans 1 in NT context). I agree Matt 7:21 does not refer to progressive sanctification. Notice, however, the paragraph preceding 7:21. Why would Yeshua ,warn of ,false prophets, before making these statements. Of not following the Father's will ,or breaking YHWH's law. And where in Matt 7 does it ,implicitly, or explicitly ,say that ' the will of the Father' refers to believing in his Son ? Where ? In fact, again, Yeshua says ,' Get away from me, you who BREAK GOD's LAWS' Matt 7:23

If the sacrificial blood of the Eternal God is not enough, then none of us will make it.

Our Heavenly Father God is a holy righteous judge and can’t wink at sin. By God’s grace we are saved through the cruel cross where Jesus Christ took the punishment that we deserved. But we have a free will to accept that free gift of Salvation. That means to repent, no longer living for self but after the things of God, according to His word the Bible. Jesus didn’t die on the cross for us to continue living a sinful lifestyle as we did before we were born again. There is something seriously wrong with our walk if we are not moved to change our ways, whatever the sinful practice was. We are always to strive to follow Christ’s example. God is the same, yesterday, forever He hasn’t changed His moral laws they still apply today. Jesus said if you love me, you will follow the will of My Father, as in His commandments and laws. “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God”. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) As with false prophets in the Bible they were popular because they told the people what they wanted to hear, a feel good message. God’s true prophets were hated because nobody wanted to hear the truth of the matter that God hates all sin. Those who don’t preach the whole counsel of God in or out of season, popular or not, will be held accountable for leading people astray. BUT the good news is that no matter what we have done or how far from God’s grace we have fallen there is a way to be part of God’s family and have the peace, joy, love and assurance of where we will spend eternity, that is to own up and tell God we have sinned, thank Jesus Christ for dying in our place and ask for His daily help to live a new life. Then enjoy a future now and for all eternity in His new kingdom. “And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. (V11). They were homosexual, thieves, drunkards etc BUT NO MORE!! Doesn’t mean we don’t fall at times, or struggle but we know that when we are tempted or start to fall, Christ Jesus is there at the bottom to lift us up.!!🙏🥰. Taking up our cross and following Jesus isn’t easy, that’s why He said narrow is the way, to run the race and finish well. Many are called but few are chosen. Many will hate this message I speak He doesn’t desire anyone to perish neither do I, but this isn’t my word it’s from God’s Word, and He is not man that He should lie.🥰🙏

[@paulaivens8063]

@Alvin Fen Jesus is gracious and merciful, but He never ceases to be Holy. As Christ is our example for living, we too are to be set apart from the world and be holy as Christ is Holy. (That does not mean we are not tempted and even fall into sin at times, the difference is when we are tempted or we do sin, the Holy Spirit within us convicts us and we are so grievous that we fall at the Fathers feet in repentance and restoration, than we are forgiven, whatever sin that maybe). He calls us to a life of holiness and obedience to the Father, and He gives us the spiritual resources we need to walk in righteousness. John 14:21 Jesus said…He who has My Commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. This is one of many verses where Jesus says about following the commandments and laws. Matthew 6:12 The Lords Prayer “And forgive us our debts”. 6:13. “And do not lead us into temptation”. Jesus confirms that we are still going to be tempted and do fall into sin, so we need to pray the Lord’s Prayer daily and apply it to our lives. God’s grace is not a free to live and do as we please card. We are free to choose, but we are not free from the consequences of our choices. Sin is still sin in God’s eyes and we should not see His silence and great patience with us as acceptance to sin. That’s the wonderful thing about God’s grace no matter what we have done He is willing and able to forgive us, to no longer live for ourselves but pleasing to the Father and be part of His family and spend eternity in the new heaven and earth prepared for those who know and love Him. As God’s word says…”Choose this day, whose side you are on”. ( Everlasting in context are on condition that we are walking’ according to the scriptures.).

WOW. Teach people how to read the Bible. The Bible is not hard. The "smart people are the ones that know the truth" and the only ones that can read the Bible and tell you what it means. Learn to read it slowly and in context. Read each Gospel. And each letter. Learn the basics. What is the Gospel. Mat 4:23. What did the Jews understand when Jesus proclaimed the Gospel of he kingdom. Learn what is the trinity. Really understand the deity of the trinity.

When you truly understand what you are doing is sin and you need a savior because you cant fix it on your own come to Jesus in submission to him. Surrender totally to him and accept him and you will transformed in newness of life as it says in Romans 6:21. How can you be truly sorry for your sins and still put them above your Lord and savior? Cast down idols (which can be practices) that go against his word. Accept him and submit to him. Let him abide in you and protect you. Step by step praying to be drawn closer to God. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 The time will come when people will turn away from truth to seek pastors who pervert the word of God to make people feel good about their sin. Like this man who tells you unrepentant sin has nothing to do with salvation. Jesus loves you and I love you, please understand this man left out many parts of scripture that deal with repentance and take a moment to look into it. Don't stop your journey to God here with this video. There is so much more. Keep searching for the truth and make sure its backed up by scripture.

Bob believes that you can be a homosexual and still be saved, no repentance. Bob believes you are saved by faith alone and he believes in OSAS, so if you believe and you are a homosexual, Bob believes you are saved.

God didn't create people of letters, they made themselves. I hope you don't think murderers are made like that.

Jesus said "go and sin no more".

By repenting, and believing in Jesus, and overcoming their sin! OSAS- 3 verses in the Bible say your name can be blotted out of the book of life; Psalm 69:28, revelation 3:5, 22:19! Never receiving Jesus is not the only way to go to hell Says Matthew 7:21-23 ; verse 23 ‘away from me I never knew you’ does not apply to everybody, Jesus says this twice in verses 21 and 22! “Not everyone will say to me (on that day)……., yes many will say…..” If OSAS was true he would’ve said “everyone and all” instead of “not everyone and Many”! So not everyone will go to hell based on never knowing Jesus, and other verses will back this up as well! you can no longer use Matthew 7:23 or say they were never saved to begin with! Same with 2 Peter 2 “after knowing the Lord, they went back into their vomit as a dog; or back into the mud as a pig wallowing in the mud”. The word ‘knowing’ is the same word in Matthew 7:23, it’s ‘ginosko’ in the Greek- it’s a salvific relationship with Jesus! So you can lose your salvation, says this verse as well! 2 Peter 2:20 “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning!” THEY ARE ENTANGLED IN THE CORRUPTION OF THE WORLD…AGAIN- says this verse! Jude 12 - “twice dead”; Dead in sin, born again, dead again! And there’s many more; Revelation chapters 2 & 3 are full of ultimatums and all Jesus is focused on is our works! Revelation 2: 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place! Revelation 2:14 there are some among you….. 16 Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. These are just 2 and Jesus says “he who overcomes” , Overcomes is present - future tense, and Jesus says this to all 7 churches even the 2 good ones! You have to stay faithful to the end of your life to go to heaven! John 3:16 is he who continues to believe will have eternal life! it doesn’t say ‘believed’ past tense, you have to maintain your faith to go to heaven! The Greek word ‘believes’ is ‘Pistis’ which basically means faithfulness so faith equals faithfulness, according to the Bible! So if you have problems with this, then you have problems with the word of God, the Bible! You need to study these passages so that you can make it to heaven! If your pastor cannot answer these questions according to what I just said, then you need to leave that church!

@alvinfen4511 keep talking to me so we can fix the problem! you can’t tell somebody how to get saved, you use half the Bible I use the whole Bible! To prove it, refute my first message with all those verses, I mentioned, & this message! You didn’t do that!! When Jesus is lifted up, he’ll draw all men to himself - John 12:32, that’s why we give the gospel message to all people! God wants all men to be saved first Timothy 2:4, second peter 3:9! God, predestines groups or plurals only, never individuals. Ephesians 1 -2 points: “ us and we” are pre-destined never “you and I“! And 11 times in 11 verses from 3-14 you have to remain “in Christ“ (in him, in whom) to be predestined! Romans 9:1-3 Paul is talking about the nation of Israel, all the way to the end of chapter 11 ! So, “Jacob, I loved, Esau I hated“ is genesis 25:23 “there are two nations in your womb“! It’s talking about ‘Nations,’ not individuals in the whole context of those three chapters! Stop taking it out of context, along with Ephesians 1! Of course, we have the story of Jacob and Esau and how Esau despised his birthright ! So God truly does love all people, he truly did make hell for the devil and his angels just as Matthew 25:41 says ! Even the 42 youths, mauled by the 2 bears, was because they mocked Elijah‘s rapture, a.k.a. the resurrection , they were saying “go on up Baldy “ ; and ALL their prophets just recently Were killed by Elijah and they should’ve known to stop worshiping Baal! Bethel was the headquarters of Baal worship, where this took place! 490 priests got killed by Elijah, There was no Priests around,; should’ve been a gigantic clue. So God never arbitrarily and haphazardly deals with any human being ! His love cannot be measured says Romans 8! But if you’re a Calvinists it’s “his love cannot be measured , (Wink, wink)“! Come out of the false belief system of Calvinism ! Now you have no excuse because you cannot out argue this, let’s hear you try! Read Matthew 25 the parable of the Calvinists, a.k.a. talents ! Where the guy buried his talent calling God,- somebody who doesn’t judge rightly & he was thrown into hell as a result! He had the wrong view of God, & So Will a Calvinist, they’ll have a callous view of God & The love of Christs sacrificial death on the cross!

Don't get me wrong, I believe LGBTQ is a sin (every single letter of that acronym stands for sin). However, preaching that the gay person must "stop being gay" to be saved is blatant works based salvation [Ephesians 2:8-9]. None of us have "stopped sinning". We will all sin until we die. Repenting or turning from all of our sins is impossible. So the gay person can be gay all he wants and still be saved, according to the Bible. Also, a gay person isn't justified by the deeds of the law (such as not being gay) [Romans 3:28]. I'm not giving LGBTQ people I license to sin, though. They should still "stop being LGBTQ" though, in honor for God. I am almost certain this is not a sin that God would leave unchastised or uncorrected in the life of a believer [Hebrews 12:6-8]. Sadly, many people in the LGBTQ community are in denial that their lifestyle is sinful. Most of them are under a "double heresy" 1) because their lifestyle is sinful, but they don't want to admit it --- and find every reason to pick arguments with the Bible through biased interpretation 2) because even if they did realize their lifestyle is sinful, they would "repent of it", just like the people who believe in "repenting of your sins to be saved", so their salvation proves to be a works-based one. Not all LGBTQ professing Christians are under this "double heresy" but I believe many of them are. Even if they believed in Free Grace, I still think there's a good chance they would defend their sexual orientation so that they can claim to willfully live a godly lifestyle.
