Salvation Guaranteed: The Classic Collection with R.C. Sproul

God promised that He would make Abraham into a great nation and give him children as numerous as the stars. But while Abraham trusted God, He did not see how this could happen. In his old age, how could he possibly bear a son? In this message, Dr. Sproul takes us back to the night God sealed His promise with Abraham and reminds us that He will never go back on His Word.
This is the 1st in a series of messages by Dr. Sproul. See other videos in the series: • Classic Collection - R...

Why follow false teachers and risk your eternal salvation?

[@JESUS_Saves3747]

​@@hyeminkwun9523Are Catholic beliefs and practices biblical? The question that concerns every church and its practices should be, "Is this biblical?" If a teaching is biblical (taken in context), it should be accepted. If it is not, it should be rejected. God is more interested in whether a church does His will and obeys His Word than whether it can trace its lineage back to Jesus' apostles. Jesus was very concerned about the Word of God being rejected to follow traditions of men (Mark 7:7). Traditions are not inherently wrong...there are some good and valuable traditions. To reiterate, the concern should be whether a doctrine, practice or tradition is biblical. How then does the Catholic Church compare to the Word of God? Salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is regenerated through baptism and maintained through the Catholic sacraments, except through a willful act of sin that destroys the sanctified state of grace. The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace, which we receive through simple faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that good works are the result of a changed heart worked out in salvation (Ephesians 2:10; I Corinthians 5:17) and through the fruit of new life in Christ (John 15). Assurance of salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that Assurance of salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is not guaranteed or certain. 1 John 5:13 says that the reason for writing 1 John was so that believers could be ASSURED of their salvation. Good works: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that Christians are saved by meritorious works (beginning with baptism), and that salvation is maintained by good works (receiving the sacraments, confessing sins to a priest, etc.). The Bible teaches that Christians are saved by grace through faith, completely apart from works (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 3:10-11; Romans 3:19-24). Baptism: In the New Testament, baptism ALWAYS comes AFTER saving faith in Christ. Baptism is not the reason for salvation; it is faith in the gospel that saves (1 Corinthians 1:14-18; Romans 10:13-17). The Roman Catholic Church teaches the regeneration of infants through baptism, a practice never found in Scripture. The only possible reference to the baptism of infants that the Roman Catholic Church can point to is that the entire household of the jailer in Philippi was baptized, as recorded in Acts 16:33. However, the context never mentions infants. Acts 16:31 explains that salvation comes by faith. Paul addressed the whole household in verse 31, and the whole household believed (verse 34). This passage only supports the baptism of those who have already believed, not that of infants. Prayer: The Roman Catholic Church teaches Catholics not only to pray to God, but also to petition Mary and the saints for their prayers. Contrary to this, Scripture teaches us to pray to God alone (Matthew 6:9; Luke 18:1-7). Priesthood: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that there is a difference between priests and "commoners," where the New Testament teaches that all believers hold the priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). Sacraments: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that a believer is filled with grace by receiving the sacraments. This teaching is nowhere to be found in Scripture. Confession: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that, unless the believer is incapacitated, the only way to be forgiven of sins is through confession to a priest. In contrast, Scripture teaches that confession of sins is made to God alone (1 John 1:9). Mary: The Roman Catholic Church teaches, among other things, that Mary is the Queen of Heaven, everlasting Virgin and with redeemer who ascended to heaven. In the Holy Scriptures she is portrayed as an obedient, faithful servant of God who became the mother of Jesus. None of the other attributes mentioned by the Roman Catholic Church have their basis in the Bible. The view that Mary was the co-redemptrix and is another mediator between God and man is not only extra-biblical (found only outside of Scripture), but is also unbiblical (contrary to Scripture). Acts 4:12 declares that Jesus is the only Savior. 1 Timothy 2:5 proclaims that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man. Many other examples could be listed here. These points alone clearly identify the Catholic Church as unbiblical. Every Christian denomination has traditions and practices that are not explicitly based on the Bible. This is the reason why Scripture must be the standard for Christian belief and practice. The Word of God is always true and trustworthy. The same cannot be said about church traditions. Our guideline should be: "What does the Bible say?" (Romans 4:3; Galatians 4:30; Acts 17:10). 2 Timothy 3:16-17 proclaims, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly prepared for every good work.

[@scottcarter1689]

Bob, I have a dear Methodist friend (also a pastor) who expresses the same sentiment, but in the end, faith that is salvific is of a sole location or "locus of control"... it is either in God or oneself. Arminian theology is in self-wrought faith... and thus lies the distinction. Faith is either mustered, and therefore contributed, by the individual, or it is gifted & granted by God. The Bible definitively states the latter two. The former are illustrative of the faith can be made "shipwreck of". In the spirit of charity, Arminian theology is essential spiritual discipline... and thereby called for to "make one's calling and election sure"... but God is the Author and Finisher, and He works in US that which is pleasing in His sight. For this, we can only have the awe of gratitude. Soli Deo Gloria ...and God bless you

Hell is also Guaranteed

[@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christ]

Hell is guaranteed only if you have rejected our Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and rejected the provision YHVH made for the removal of our sins through faith in His precious atoning blood shed on the cross for our sins. For those who know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, Hell is not a concern because the sword of God’s wrath is at peace with us.

Salvation only comes from practicing unconditional love as Jesus taught. That's it. There are no magic phrases to say. It really requires a change in life. There are no short-cuts.

[@BobFarley-x3g]

I thought Jesus fulfilled that requirement with His perfect blood as the offering for sin?

[@pjdelucala]

@@BobFarley-x3g There are no short-cuts or free rides. Each person must practice Jesus' two great commandments. The last sentence in those commandments is: "All the laws and prophets hang on these two commandments." Love is the requirement not a blood sacrifice. That is a human idea projected unto God. Humans want blood sacrifices. God is Our Father.

@@pjdelucala calling the Mercy and Grace of God a "short cut?" God calls our good works filthy rags?

[@pjdelucala]

@@BobFarley-x3g That is not what I said. Read what I said again. It is about how love changes a person. Here is an analogy: Imagine a dark room. That dark room represents a person living a sinful life. Then that person changes and becomes more loving. That is turning on the light in the room and the darkness disappears! But you must practice love. That is what I said. There are no short-cuts. You must become more loving. Jesus wants you to be like him. He is the way. Do it his way. "All you need is love, that is all you need." Filthy rags? I am afraid what you said contradicts Jesus. Jesus said "By their fruits ye shall know them. " Read Jesus two great commandments and especially pay attention to the last sentence. "All the laws and prophets hang on these two commandments."
