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?

[@FollowerOfTheLight2782]

​@@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.

Here, eternal is juxtaposed with timeless. Matthew 25:41 KJV - Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:46 KJV - And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

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

Many of you believe some verses in the Bible, think they know and follow Christ, and are saved; and find themselves to be in the first one. Why? Because they do not truly know Christ, nor the True Faith, and are separated from the Source of Grace like branches separated from the Vine (John 15:6), which is the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church He founded and sent for salvation of souls until the end of time (Matt 28:20, Mark 16:16). Why follow false teachers and risk your eternal salvation?

@@hyeminkwun9523 Since the Roman Catholic Church is supposedly the church founded by Christ, why did Christ call it "My church" and not the Roman Catholic Church? If Peter was "The Rock" that the "True Church" was founded on why didn't he ever claim to be that rock? How did Mary remain a virgin all her life when the scriptures plainly state that Jesus had "brothers and sisters" and even named the boys? Why is purgatory needed when Christ purged our sins and sat down at the right hand of God? Where is praying to saints found in the scriptures? Since Peter the supposed first pope was sent to proclaim the gospel to the Jews who doesn't the RCC evangelize Jews? The Roman Catholic Church is a false religion and preaches a false gospel.

@@AVB2 Not supposedly. It is the One founded by Our Lord on the Apostles (Rev 21:14) with St. Peter as His Vicar (Pope) on earth, vesting him with His Authority by giving him the keys to the Kingdoms of Heaven (Matt 16:18-19). All your other objections are those raised by protestant churches, to attack the Catholic Church (Catholic means Universal, since Our Lord instituted His Church for salvation of all souls until the end of the world). Why Our Lord did not say "Roman Catholic Church" in the Bible? Because there was no need to put that name during the 3 years of His ministry. I'm not going to address every one of your questions (you can easily find the answers in Internet), but on brothers of Our Lord -- this question shows your ignorance, because in that region, cousins are all called as brothers and sisters. Our Lord had cousins, who were children of St. Joshep's elder brother. Two of them, James and Jude, are among the 12 Apostles.

@@hyeminkwun9523 If Peter was the first pope, the supposed "Vicar of Christ" why didn't Jesus plainly state this in Matthew 18:1 and Luke 9:46? He had two perfect opportunities to set the record straight as to Peter's position as THE apostle that Christ's church was founded on. THE ROCK. But He didn't because Christ's church was founded on THE ROCK< JESUS CHRIST and NOT some sinner that Jesus called Satan.

[@hyeminkwun9523]

@@AVB2 You indeed have many whys! Are you asking Our Lord why He did not explain things to your liking? Do you not think that you are quite conceited? Yes, when Our Lord said that, St. Peter indeed made a mistake and Satan, through Peter's mouth, tempted Our Lord not to sacrifice Himself for humanity in disobedience to the Will of the Heavenly Father. St. Peter had to learn hard way. Even he denied Our Lord 3 times as Our Lord told him. That was also a part of his learning process. And later after Resurrection, Our Lord forgave him (not only him, but also all the others who ran away during His passion). St. Peter, through all these trials, became holy, fulfilled the mission given him (John 21:15-19) and died as a martyr. Since you have a contempt for him, do you ignore his epistles in the Bible? Do you truly believe?

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.

[@KennethNicholson1972]

Our LORD tells us in Matthew 5: 33 to 37, not to swear on anything but to let our yes mean yes and no mean no. Therefore swearing on the Bible in court, is against Gods word.

[@KennethNicholson1972]

ASV Matthew 5 : 33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those who lived long ago: Don’t make a false solemn pledge, but you should follow through on what you have pledged to the Lord.[d] 34 But I say to you that you must not pledge at all. You must not pledge by heaven, because it’s God’s throne. 35 You must not pledge by the earth, because it’s God’s footstool. You must not pledge by Jerusalem, because it’s the city of the great king. 36 And you must not pledge by your head, because you can’t turn one hair white or black. 37 Let your yes mean yes, and your no mean no. Anything more than this comes from the evil one.

RESPECT MAN OF GOD. P.S Those who want to criticize this great teacher should earn it at least first by writing a book on anything. Even Potatoes. 😗 R.C Sproul would be LONG REMEMBERED AFTER WE ARE ALL GONE & FORGOTTEN. THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL GREAT INFLUENCE. Critics (unqualified) always remind me of the 8 spies who were sent to spy the land. They had a DIFFERENT SPIRIT to Joshua & Caleb. Oh. By the way can ANYONE REMEMBER ANY ONE OF THEIR NAMES. NO NONE OF US DO. WONDER WHY? 😇😇 Nobody remembers the Critics. Critics are those who never go to war but shoot the wounded soldiers who have gone to fight for the rest of the people. BTW I'm ALL FOR CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. BUT QUALITY YOURSELF FIRST.

[@josephdesouza4128]

To the humble guy who thinks R.C is proud, that's because HE CAN AFFORD TO BE. Those who call other proud are struggling with greater pride themselves but are unaware because of their IGNORANCE. A truely humble person WOULD NEVER CALL ANOTHER PROUD. AS THAT'S A SIGN OF GREAT PRIDE ITSELF. 🤭 TRY doing one percent of what R.C Had done & you would feel that way too. IT'S CALLED PASSION & CONFIDENCE. The great Apostle Man Paul suffered with a bit of it. We all do. 🙏

If you are guaranteed salvation how can you then get cast out into outer darkness?

[@sunnyskyz2630]

On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers'" (Matthew 7:21-23)
