Must We Keep Believing to Stay Saved? | Dr. Ralph Yankee Arnold | BBN

[@jth0mp]

In todays age, guys like Pastor Mike Maki and Ralph Arnold are a needle in a haystack. The majority wants to hear the things that tickle their ears, rather than sound doctrine. God bless and keep up the great work!

[@glanknightfalcon4246]

In Today's times, people like John Macarthur and John Piper give 'uncertainty' and adds too much to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God is the Truth. the devil is the liar and will add so much confusion.

JD Thompson, Would you please reply with a list of pastors who teach the Word of God correctly online, so I can have more good teaching to listen too? I would greatly appreciate it if you would. Thank you so much. I just learned about Pastor Ralph Arnold the other day through word of mouth, and I just now learned about Pastor Mike Maki from your comment.

@@barakoniner1644 Calvinism is a doctrine or more accurately a cohort of doctrines. Think of it as like Dispensationalism or Cessationism. Most Calvinists are Baptists, and Baptists usually split between Once Saved Always Saved (Provisionism) and Calvinism. Rarely seen an Arminiast Baptist. Its crazy to think the divisions have grown so elaborate that we have entire terminologies for it. Yet here we are.

Dr. Ralph you are blessing to those who seek the truth. Jesus saves us and keeps us saved. If I had anything to do with me keeping myself saved I would have lost salvation few seconds after I was saved :-). Thank God He told us nothing will snatch us from His hand. Here is my take on preaches who preach false doctrine. They are not saved that is why they preach false gospel. Unfortunately there is only a handful of preaches who preach GOSPEL like Ralph. blessings

Jesus Christ made the promise in John 6:37 that He would never cast out anyone who had trusted Him as Savior for any reason. "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out." He meant exactly that. There is no circumstance or instance that would cause Christ to cast a saved person aside.

YEP! It's an elitist doctrine. I've never met a Calvinist who also wasn't arrogant and elitist. THEY know more than you. YOU don't understand, THEY do. THEY study more. THEY are more holy. THEY are chosen, not you. They end up worshiping their own intellect and the church fathers. It's VERY Catholic in vibe. I've never once read the Bible and saw the words "Calvin" or "TULIP." NOT ONCE. You have to confound the Bible and pick scriptures here and there to build a MAN MADE narrative. They literally replace entire words, like "ALL," with "elect." It's evil and I don't know how some Christians are ok with it. Notice how they always use Latin too, like it's some holy form of language. CATHOLICISM.

The Lord does chasten every son. But just because He loves us so much. He wants us to have some rewards in heaven given to those who do His will on earth. First Corinthians 3:11-21. Even our faith will be rewarded in heaven. But if we lose our faith, we are still saved. What a savior we have. Romans 4:5-8. AMAZING GRACE, JESUS PAID IT ALL AND WE PAID 0. IT IS FREE, or not at all because no sinner can pay his own debt.

My dad suffered from sleep apnea for years but would not use his bi-pap to sleep. It caused irreversible damage to his lungs. He collapsed in a restaurant and slipped into a coma. He was a Believer and was never without his bible. After two weeks he came out of the coma. His personality had changed and he would say things that were out of character that were racist and vulgar. He was a different man than he was before the coma. A few days later his lungs filled with fluid and he passed away. I KNOW he is with The Lord not because he was a good man right to the end, but because He received Christ as his Savior and was Saved in that moment. I am a Believer as well. In 2006 I was a Trucker and had an accident that left me with a very bad Traumatic Brain Injury. Since the injury I have had issues with PBA, BiPolar disorder and impulse control. For the longest time I blamed myself and feared I was no longer saved because of how I would behave sometimes. I now know better, but with a brain injury I know that tomorrow I may forget. But GOD wont forget me.

I've listened to this sermon at least 3 times to help me. Over the past week or so, I've come across passages that have frightened me. Can anyone explain what these mean, if it doesn't mean we must keep believing? Colossians 1:21-23 21And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; When we believe, I thought we were seen as unblameable? What does this passage mean? 2 Timothy 2:10 10Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. If they are elect, does that not mean they are believers? This verse sounds like salvation is a process. This next one, I know he touched on briefly in the sermon but I saw someone comment on another video I watched with two passages they say parallel this one. I'll list them, too. 2 Timothy 2:11-14 11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 14Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the LORD that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. People are saying the passage in 2 Timothy a.) means we will be denied reigning with Christ. But I know that isnt what it's saying because all believers will be with Christ forever and those believers who are raptured will return with Him when He comes back to earth. b.) They said it parallels: Matthew 10:32-33 32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Revelation 3:5 5He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. We know that those who overcome are those who believe because: 1 John 5:4-5 4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? So, it sounds like if we ever get to a time in our lives where we deny Christ and walk away from the faith, that He will deny knowing us and that He wont confess our names before His Father and His angels. I'm having a difficult time understanding how these arent related to one another. If Jesus hadnt prayed for Peter's faith not to fail, would Peter's denying of Christ before men resulted in Jesus denying Peter or not confessing his name before His Father and His angels? Hebrews 3:6 6But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Hebrews 3:14 14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; I thought the moment we believe, we were made partakers? This sounds like we arent made partakers or part of Christ's house unless we keep believing. 2 Timothy 2:17-19 17And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 19Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The LORD knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Is this saying that Hymenaeus and Philetus, and those they overthrew their faith were not the Lord's? Because they didnt continue believing? 1 John 2:18-19 18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. Is this saying if they truly believed they would have continued with them? My last one is about the parable of the soils. I've seen where people say the only saved one was the 4th one. That the stony one was already hard and it took no root, which meant they didnt have saving faith. And that the third soil didnt take root and was choked out so they didnt have saving faith. I know this is a lot. I'm just a bit concerned and cant understand these passages. If faith is the vehicle which Christ gives eternal life and it is not a work, if we cut off faith, how does He give us eternal life?

The bible is clear that if you do not believe then you do not have eternal life. 2 Timothy 2:13 is the only verse that seems to contradict.

If salvation, eternal life, was not a free gift, no one could be saved. Matthew 7:21-23 Those that are trusting in their works have not done the will of His Father.

A Bridge Too Far... I LOVE your faithful teaching on the simplicity saving faith. Clearly communicating the simplicity of the gospel is highest calling. You serve it (Him) well! Lordship salvation as taught by men like John MacArthur is a wrecking ball to assurance. Years ago I read "The Gospel According to Jesus" and had to throw it away half way through because of the spiritual oppression and doubt it created. Fortunately it caused me to search the scriptures to determine the truth. My salvation depended upon knowing the truth. Did I merely have a "head faith" and was a counterfeit or was I really saved by faith alone regardless my behavior. Your teaching on the subject echoes my conclusion. God bless you brother! But...are you saying that a person can actually die in a state of UNBELIEF and still be saved? I view saving faith as the byproduct of revelation and something that cannot become "unseen" once it has been revealed. Is there an example of someone in scripture who believed and then rejected the gospel message and was still saved? Since faith is not a work, to say one must believe continually is not on par with saying one must behave continually to be saved. I liken it to knowing my name. There will never be a time when I dont know my name. You gave the example of sleeping and disease whereby one may stop believing. I'm not satisfied with the analogy. Unconsciousness/incapacitation is not synonymous with conscious rejection of gospel truth once professed. As a teen, Carl Marx wrote an outstanding essay on Chritianity.

2 Timothy 2:13 13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

[@charlie4christ536]

@@doitlikethebereans1690 Actually that verse is taken out of context. The first half of the verse follows up with “he cannot deny himself”. There is a colon that directly links the “believe not” with Christ not denying himself. What did Peter do three times? He denied Jesus three times, but Christ could not deny himself. Peter was still saved afterwards, he still believed, he couldn’t stop believing because you can’t lose salvation. 2 Timothy 2:13 is about doubt and denying the Lord. This is a grave sin, but as Paul reminds Timothy, Christ “abideth faithful”. The verse is about being faithful to the Lord. We should exhort one another to always remain faithful to the ministry and serving God. Thomas doubted when Christ resurrected and John the Baptist awfully stated, “should we look for another?” when he doubted Jesus was the Christ. Did John become an unbeliever? No, he was saved and made straightway the path for the Lord’s arrival. He believed on Jesus Christ. Matthew 11:2-4 “Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

That verse is talking about perserverance and maturity of our faith. This about obtaining our heavenly reward. Read ch. 10:35. Salvation is however a gift.

[@CVYR490]

Some people will say people will continue to sins if they think once saved all saved. To them, I will say that doesn't affect that it's once saved all saved. And they will say what is saved, some people think they are saved but they are not. To them I say that's is them, then they are not saved. Simple

I have a friend who is gay and told me that he wants to believe the Gospel of salvation and be save by Grace through Faith but he can not STOP been gay and living a gay way of life with his lover.I am going to send him to Pastor Ralph Yankee's church and tell him that there he can be save by just believing in Jesus Christ and if he chooses to continue his gay way of life until he die he could STILL remain save. Is a win win situation for him, is like a cure for gluttony were you STILL can eat all you want, indulge in high fat food and sweets and STILL be able to NOT gain a single pound and remain trim and fit because you took a special pill. He is going to love this GOOD news , that to be save one only needs to believe in Jesus Christ and after been save if one choose to NOT stop sinning one can REMAIN save for all eternity. Wow, that sound really like the gospel which is GOOD NEWS .

[@ipaporod]

@@peregrino9154 :So been comfortable when engaging in a sinful act is a sign that he is not saved?. I thought that after been saved by grace you WILL remain saved regardless of how you feel (works) about sin!. If salvation is based on how you feel (comfort is a state of mind, feeling is a work) then is by works . Anything that is required from you do to be SAVED is works, if you are required to feel uncomfortable when sinning or after sinning as a sign that you are TRULY saved then it is by works buddy!!!. So lets say I am eternally saved by grace and today I feel uncomfortable about engaging in X or Y type of sin but tomorrow I engage in it and feel comfortable doing it and without any remorse, WAS I SAVED yesterday but NOT today based on how I feel about that sin based on comfort and complacency?. You are contradicting your self because if salvation is by grace (free gift of God and NOT based on how you feel ) it is NOT by works!. If feeling happy, comfortable, joyful, complacent, sad, sorry and all other human feeling/emotions is how you can tell if someone is really saved then salvation is determined by what type if feeling you have and the type of spiritual fruits you are producing!. You can not have it both ways, Grace + Works!.

Why did Paul say I have kept the faith what did he mean

Good question: These two verses found in II Tim 4 shows that Paul keeping the faith and finishing his race was not to be saved, but to receive the CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. This is a reward. Salvation is always a gift. Keep them separate. God bless.

In Sweden where I live, people are now saying faith isn't just believing or trusting, but also to be faithful. Does someone have a comment on that?

[@psalm37v4]

That's basically the same thing as having to keep believing. I would answer that you didn't have to do works to become saved - only change your mind about your spiritual state, recognize who Jesus is, and put your trust in His finished work. So you don't have to do works to keep your salvation.

[@VictorFelipe82]

Jesus saved us because we believed in Him, we had faith in Him. If we believe no more, have no longer faith in Him, who saved us, then we are leaving the faith and as such we are abandoning our salvation. Hebrews 6:4-8, "4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned."

[@VictorFelipe82]

@@YankeeArnoldMinistries Thanks for the reply, Pastor Yankee. So one question, there are many cases of people of faith that renounced Christianity. Let's take former pastor Joshua Eugene Harris, for example. So what you are saying is he was never saved, even though he was a God-fearing believer, even a Pastor. So are you a Calvinist now, saying he was not one of us but had deceived himself? At one point in his life he did believe in Jesus. You see what I'm saying? He's clearly renounced his faith in Christ, so are you saying he is still saved? God bless you.

[@letstalktech96]

Hello friend, this verse is to do with physical salvation. In the context it is about the believing Jews who are suffering persecution in their lives for believing & following messiah. They was about to go back to the law and continue in animal sacrifices, which is to put Christ to shame as if he isn’t enough… there remains no sacrifice for sins, Jesus is the only sacrifice we need. If they was to return to the law system, they’d be caught up in the destruction of the temple and would be killed physically, they are still eternally saved. Just like when the apostle paul says we can suffer loss when our works are tested by fire, but we ourselves are still saved. Eternal life is what it says on the tin, eternal life. We’ve passed from death to life, seated in heavenly places, sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the day of redemption, we’re in Jesus & the fathers hand, nothing can separate us from the love of God, when we are faithless he remains faithful for he cannot deny himself. The scriptures for eternal security are there in abundance. Hope this is a blessing to you, take care and God bless.

[@VictorFelipe82]

@@letstalktech96 Thanks for the comment, brother. I fully agree with you on the fact that there is a large number of scriptures for eternal security for those IN Christ. If we keep believing until the end of our days that Jesus Christ is our Savior, then we are saved and given eternal life, no question about it. However, there are as well so many warnings for us believers not to walk away from the faith but to persevere in the faith. If one abandons his salvific faith, then he's abandoning his salvation; this does not happen overnight, of course. Apostasy takes time. We may fail and be unfaithful to Jesus, but He remains faithful, indeed. However, if we deny Him, He will also deny us (2 Timothy 2:12). God bless.

[@letstalktech96]

@@VictorFelipe82 thanks for the reply :) in my opinion, if you can lose it, it’s not eternal life. The verse regarding him denying us is about rewards of ruling with Christ, which I think it’s clear in the context, also it even says if we believe not or if we are faithless, depending on the translation , he remains faithful for he cannot deny himself. Jesus said to the women at the well, drink the water I give, you will never thirst again, he didn’t say keep drinking; same with him being the bread of life, eat once you’ll never hunger again. You get eternal life the moment you believe, you have it at that moment and if it’s eternal it goes on forever. There are warnings of shipwrecking our faith and the consequences of that, but it’s never a loss of eternal life otherwise it would have the wrong name. The parable of the soils show that some people believe for a while but fall away, and in the same parable it says that Satan snatches the seed lest they should believe and be saved. Once saved always saved is the reality, but warnings are there because we can be disciplined in this life and lose rewards in the next. That’s my opinion anyway, as we all interpret scripture different. God bless :)

[@randallrader680]

First of all believing is more than intellectual.. Godly sorrow leads to repentance.. Yes we're going to sin and if we confess our sin He is faithful and just to forgive us of all unrighteousness. To believe is to obey and confession and repentance will be continuous in a child of God's life. Sanctification is what it's called.. Half truths is a lie

Randall Rader read the verse right before it as well: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:8-9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ It means confess that you have sins and are not sinless. Jesus paid the debt for all of our sins when He died on the cross 🕊
