[@austinpresley6187]

He's humble. He has so much passion in the pulpit, love for the truth, and knowledge of what he's saying. I listened to him early in my faith (about 3 years ago) and hadn't really much after, but I saw he was recommended by my KZbin thing and I was truly missing out!

[@1988TheHitman]

Amen 🙏🏼

[@christophercunningham5434]

Steve Lawson is actually my favorite preacher of all time. What’s sad is that this video was made right before R.C. Sproul died.

[@truth7416]

This mans gospel is 5-Point Reformed Calvinism which is occult! My question to him is? So out of a million people, few people find the narrow road and are saved! Two out of a million would be few! And of a million people YOU, are one of the ones especially chosen for salvation and the 999,999, were not? The rest are chosen for Hell? When did god notify you that he chose you? How did god notify you that he chose you? How are you sure that he did choose you? Why is it only those who have been chosen continually preach that 99 % of people are not chosen like themselves? Simple questions that should be easily answered! Were any of you other family members also chosen? Remember one in a million means few! So , were your children? Your grand children, your wife or husband? Remember few means few! How many of your friends? How many in your church? One in a million in your church would mean that you have taken the only seat. Therefore no one else in your church can be chosen! Do you see that when you start to think thoughts like this for your self you start to smell “LIE” You smell the devil and his demon doctrines! Wake up! 1 Timothy 2 : 3-6 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. Acts 2 :21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ 38 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. 39 This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off-....

@@annerector8765 The Good news is that God loves everyone and wants them to turn to Him in repentance and receive forgiveness and be adopted into Gods family! Yet many will choose no!

Jack Graham is one of the best pastors in my neck of the woods. I am a member at prestonwood and he makes me laugh and can tell a great story and relate it to a practical biblical message. I also love me some Tony Evans. He loves the Lord Jesus and he ain't ashamed of him ever. He told a funny story about him praying at Dallas City Council once and they didn't want him to mention Jesus. Well, I think that he said Jesus like 30 times in like 120 words. It was amazing. My other favorite is Hal Lindsey and I am not talking about his Revelation prophetic preaching. I love his Romans messages and I also love his messages about the book of John. I am thinking about purchasing his other messages. I bet they are all fantastic.

[@HappyPenguin75034]

Graham. Evans. False. They are not Bible teachers. You don’t hear the gospel at either. Prestonwood is cultural and political and not biblical. Google Tom Pennington.

I have enjoyed Derek Thomas, but I do not really get inspired by him, so I would rather put YOU in his place, and though I love Conrad, I'd put his Dean of Theology, Voddie Baucham ahead of him - indeed I'd put him first equal with John MacA! Always loved Sinclair long before you Americans stole him from us, and I think I'd want his fellow Scot Alistair Begg - so I think I'd have to have a top 6! Many thanks for your helpful and edifying [and challenging!] ministry.

[@lovethelord007]

Steve Lawson, You are exalting men and creating favoritism, which Paul denounced in the Corinthian church. There are no great men of God, only weak, pitiful, and faithless men of a great and merciful God, who are always empowered by the Holy Spirit whenever they preach. Moreover, our Lord says, not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter, but those who do the will of God the Father. You can say you preach the Bible, but if you're practicing the very thing which Paul denounced as a great sin in the church, then you need to repent of your sin.

[@truth7416]

What do you think Satan's "other gospel" or "Doctrine of Demons" would sound like? We are warned that it would come so what does it look like in our day? I believe it is quite simple. Let me quote from the father of all lies. All Cults use this term! "Did God really say..." Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” GENESIS 3: 3 "DID GOD REALLY SAY?" For God so loved THE world that he gave his one and only Son, that WHOEVER believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 "DID GOD REALLY SAY?" This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants ALL people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for ALL people. 1 Timothy 2 : 3-6 "DID GOD REALLY SAY?" For I take no pleasure in ANYONE'S death, declares the Lord GOD. So repent and live! Ezekiel 18:32 "DID GOD REALLY SAY?" Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. Isaiah 45:22 YES! YES! YES! YES! HE DID! FOOLISHNESS BASED ON MANS WISDOM WILL NOT STAND AGAINST God's Word! Satan I am sure spends more time defending Reformed 5-Point Calvinism than any of his other Cults because it is so effective, has the largest kill ratio. It slanders and blames God for inventing and forcing people to carry out sin. Calvinism makes God out to be a cruel hate filled monster! People buy this lie to their own destruction more than the other false religion out there. So it is violently defended! Calvinism has no salvation in it, for it is just another cult pretending to be a branch of Christianity. TRUTH IN LOVE The good news offer to All of mankind is "REPENT and be BAPTIZED" for the forgiveness of your sins and you will be saved.

And some of the expository, greek defining, suit wearing mega stars who tell everyone else how to preach are going to last on the list.

[@longfamily7134]

Kyle Wirachowsky no, they don’t. It’s been debunked on more forums than I can count, but some yahoos always regurgitate it.

[@bandbuddy5396]

Tyler Long look up John Macarthur OUTRAGE. They have an audio of him saying the saved can take the mark.

[@longfamily7134]

Well, here you go. Debunked. Can someone die while having “the mark of the beast and still be saved?” No. Can one take the mark, repent and be saved? YES. Matt 12:31 makes clear that all sins except blasphemy of the Spirit can be forgiven. Those of you who are up in arms have no clue what “the mark of the beast” even means. The mark on the forehead is a symbol of who one worships. In the end times, people will worship the antichrist as God, and those who refuse will be forbidden from commerce and killed. But this same sin goes on today, and has since the beginning of time. If you think this sin can’t be forgiven, then nobody would be in heaven; not former Muslims or even atheists, since atheism is self-worship. In your attacks on MacArthur, you show not only your rush to judgment, but your ignorance of what the Bible even means by mark of the beast. www.gty.org/library/Print/Blog/B131030
