"It's part of what humbles you..." | Pastor Reacts to John MacArthur

[@inChristLife]

Amen! Father, I pray the teaching in this video will help those in bondage to the teaching that they need to prove their salvation by their deeds. I pray they will understand their salvation rests wholly in the sufficiency and faithfulness of Christ. I pray they will experience true freedom in Christ where they are able to grow in Christ-likeness from that place of freedom.

Amen 🙏🏻

Thank you Pastor Jesse... For for such a long time, years, I’ve been suffocating in despair under the weight of performance based salvation; MacArthur, Paul Washer and the like preach. You’ve helped me greatly to see and look to Jesus!, yes Jesus Alone for in Him All sustainability and security of my salvation rests in Him alone! I now have a whole new starting point and solid footing to stand on in true depth of faith. I pray your ministry expands greatly to help countless others who are struggling.

I KNOW I am saved because of what Christ did on the cross. Because of what he did I can face tomorrow. I have read many many of MacArthur’ books, had all of his commentaries, listened to his sermons and there was always this nagging question of why salvation seemed to be so difficult to attain. Didn’t Jesus say a little child could understand? I am so glad to be free from the bondage of lordship salvation.

Brother, I credit Jesus for me coming across your video. I've been praying for understanding of salvation and here I am. I have struggled in frustration, anger, confusion, and misery under a false understanding of salvation, looking unto myself for performance and obedience. I read the Bible almost every day and it had gotten to the point to where I didn't even want to read as it just further frustrated me. I listen to many pastors, sermons, messages, etc and have never felt so completely spiritually assured that a message was biblically accurate as to how I've felt watching your videos. To the point, makes complete sense, scripture-backed; you sound like an apostle. Thank you so so much, brother. God bless you richly.

[@Smerm]

It seems to me that in Ephesians 2:8-9 the point that salvation not being by works so BOASTING can’t be used is also applicable to AFTER salvation as well so people can’t have “ contest” of sorts comparing their lists with each other to therefore claim proof that one is saved or that another is not. That’s just repackaged boasting and again places the emphasis on “I “ not Jesus. The ultimate obedience that is required for salvation was done by Christ when he obeyed the Father when he willingly laid down his life for us. Anytime the pronoun I is used more than the pronoun Him , I’d start questioning a works based salvation mindset. The concept of using obedience and how we handle a trial is not how we gain assurance that we’ve been saved. Our reactions, feelings are so untrustworthy especially based on the nature of our circumstances. It’s because He promised that we would be if we put our faith in him. Love these segments defending the gospel. They’re concise yet chock full of biblical truths.

Tue thing about MacArthurs teachings is that they encourage a sense of false security and a false faith/hope of salvation. I used to listen to him all the time and i would feel anxiety because he made me feel like i wasnt doing enough to "prove" my salvation. He would say "salvation is by faith alone, but if its saving faith, there will be works." And so i felt like because i didnt have enough "works" it meant i wasnt truly saved. So then o would go on and go out of my way to do works to "prove" i had saving faith. But the works were worldly because i wasnt doing them out of love. I was doing them expressley to "prove" i had "saving faith".

Giving them the good news may evangelize them to evangelize others. Ask yourself, isn't that what He (Jesus) wants us to do? Joy and doubt is like trying to mix oil with water.

We don't get the assurance of our salvation from our works for God, but from God's work in us. Only the Holy Spirit can give us the assurance, so we only have it when we walk by the Spirit.

[@Qtip-in-ear]

If God says it, I believe it 🤷 you don’t need to have a miraculous change or work to have assurance

[@TheFightingSheep]

@Qtip-in-ear If you can hear what God says, you're miraculous. And the power of God is working in you.

[@BibleLine]

We hear what God says through his word, and assurance comes from the word of God. The true objective fact that we need believe to be saved is that Christ died, was buried and is risen having paid for our sins. If you believe He did that for you, you immediately become justified and eternally secure. That is all the assurance you need. Works, either from man or the Spirit (as you propose) do nothing to guarantee assurance of salvation. That is only found in the cross of Jesus Christ. Works simply point people to the Savior, profit others, display our obedience and have us not looking like hypocrites. - Trent

[@TheFightingSheep]

@BibleLine You're talking about self-assurance, I'm talking about divine assurance. Isn't it better to hear it straight from God than to read it in the scriptures and assume that it's about you?

There's nothing there about the eunuch feeling badly but that he he a new intellectual understanding and belief that Jesus is the Messiah and he trusted in that knowledge, asked to be baptised, and went straight back to his former life. Nothing about him being told to disciple himself (follow Jesus) or that he ever bothered doing so. Only that he believed and went on his way.

[@Cole_K_2014]

JMac would have told the Ethiopian eunuch that “professing” faith is not enough. I’m going to send you home to Ethiopia for a few weeks and we will reconvene thereafter to see if your faith is “genuine”. If the bologna tale you tell meets my standard of godliness I will baptize you.

Leave the tensions alone, believe both. I used to have a little cardboard poster that said, “God said it, I believe it, that settles it.” Actually, when God says it, that settles it. The middle part of that statement, “I believe it” is a life long journey. I have been listening to John MacArthur for 34 years. There is no one, including John, that has perfect understanding. That being said, when it comes to rightly interpreting scripture, I will stick with those whose main goal is understanding what the Bible means by what it says.

John Mac teaches a false Gospel. You are putting too much trust in J Mac and not letting scripture be your authority. Jesse is calling out John's false teachings (1Tim 6:3-5; Gal 1:8). You are attacking Jesse and have not listened to enough of his videos to make the false claims about him. We are saved by the Gospel (1Cor 15:1-4) of Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus died the death we deserved to die. Jesus paid our penalty for sin. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom 6:23 When we place our faith in Christ's finished, redemptive work at the cross, His death, burial, and resurrection, we are saved. This is the message you will hear on Jesse's videos. I used to listen to J Mac and never heard him preach the saving Gospel. He will tell his followers that a person knows they are saved by recognizing their good works of being saved. He takes the spotlight off of Christ and puts it on man's works and obedience.

It's crazy how you focus on John MacArthur when there are men like Bill Johnson, Steven F., Todd White, Michael Todd, etc... teaching blatant heresy. I agree that John does make some questionable comments and says certain things poorly, but he is not a big enough problem to focus on like you do. There are many other men making an absolute mockery of Christ and the church like the ones I mentioned.

[@coldinwisconsin2017]

I agree with MacArthur. Not you, and I haven’t even watched the video.

[@GiftofGod289]

John MacArthur is a works trusting, fruit-inspecting Pharisee. We are saved by belief in Him by faith alone, without works. John 3:16, Eph. 2:8-9. At the moment of belief, we are saved eternally and irrevocably. 1 John 5:13; John 3:36. Works neither save you, keep you saved, or prove you are saved. Titus 3:5; Romans 4:5. You are a wretched sinner deserving of hell. Your works are filthy, disgusting rags to the Creator of more galaxies than grains of sand on every beach on earth. He does not need your help. You need His. Repent and believe by faith alone today.

@@BibleLine Excellent. I got your attention. Seen enough of your videos to know your angle. No two brothers are going to agree 100%. Perhaps, instead of being salty about MacArthur’s popularity and badmouthing him, you focus your attention on apostate “pastors” like Andy Stanley, Steven Furtick, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Kopeland and the like….you know, pastors who are actually leading people astray instead of MacArthur because you take issue with an undecided, non-salvific issue?? Matthew 7:15 really doesn’t apply here, nor 1 John 4:1-6, nor Jeremiah 23:16 nor any other verse on false teachers and teachings.

John MacArthur is not a brother. He is a works-trusting, fruit-inspecting Pharisee, who believes his trials and works demonstrate his faith. He has not believed by faith alone in Christ’s finished redemptive work.

@@timothywalters23 If you are born again then you obeyed the command to come to Him in faith (John 3:21).

This right here debunks osas. Are you born again? If so, then you are now IN the true light YOU CAME TO at the new birth (by DOING truth) and the new command is walking in continued obedience started by first coming to the light (the only command a spiritually dead person can obey).
