I prefer to call a theology as being false than the one teaching it being a false teacher. The aspects of what I see as false I cover in the video...progressive sanctification...being imputed the righteousness of God while still sinning...etc. I would say that Martin Luther is fully overblown as...

We walk it out backward. We start with His end...being crucified...and then suffer His reproach as we follow Him among so many pretenders. Just as Jesus had to learn human righteousness...we have to learn what God's righteousness is. Jesus came to fulfill ALL righteousness (at both levels)...

All made up ideology. One is either holy or not. And H2O doe not sanctify a person. That is part of the fables told by pretenders. And you need to learn what eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus is. Eating His flesh is DOING His word...man shall not live by bread alone. And...

Should we be quick to judge those who teach errors as being "false teachers"? Where would it end? Without the divine balance that includes both righteousness and holiness we are sure to be teaching half-truths at best. Join me as we investigate a John MacArthur sermon on N.T Wright whereby we...

Assumptions and presumptions. You are not in their shoes. You can't take what is written in the bible in a favourable way for yourself. That's the way of the pretender. And pretenders will be found out. Yes. And the righteous are sanctified as they serve the saints. Read Matt. 25 of the...

Our death is at the cross....to be raised into eternal life (which is a kind of life). Jesus learned human righteousness....as we also do through our sufferings. Those who have suffered a lot tend to be more merciful towards others..so then the love your neighbour commandment becomes easier...

Do we have confidence in the Lord? Then let us boldly go to the throne of grace to obtain mercy (for our iniquity and unbelief) and thus receive grace from God that rescues us in our present state. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace...

The disciples were in Jesus' presence...walking with Him daily. They left all to follow Him. So they were clean by association. Were they walking in the Spirit? No. Hence the feet needed washing. It also meant that they were still attached to this world. There was no higher walk available at the...

It doesn't take any time to die in God's economy. Certainly not 40 years. It is instantaneous. Progressive sanctification? No such thing. The reason why such doctrines exist is to NOT pay attention to the gospel. It's just....one day you will be holy. Of course no one actually believes that. But...

A person is clean until they become unclean. Try going a few weeks without a shower. Being born again is a SAMPLE of grace. Why is it a sample? Because there is no way we...with our still carnal minds, habits and outlook, can possibly last very long in a state of holiness (grace). That's why...

This is where the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. If you resist the truth it doesn't matter where you come from. Again Paul called the Galatians foolish because they indeed started in the Spirit. You need training...since you are not able to mature yourself while you have those ideas of...

You assume that having begun in the Spirit one must necessarily continue in the Spirit. That is a very naive way to think about it. Why did Paul get on the Galatians case about trying to be perfected some other way? How could Jesus spit out the Laodiceans? You have not been properly discipled if...

Why are you, and others, so sensitive about what the bible teaches? Paul said.."It is no longer I, but Christ"...It is no longer EGO... People will speak of all the benefits they have received but never admit the warnings in the bible are for them...to help them to forsake iniquity. The...

Jesus said "greater love has no man (ADAM) than this...that he lays down his life for another" What He did NOT say is..."No one can love so much that they lay down their life for another. You need first to be born again....or become doctrinally aware..." We are all created in God's image in...

Again, amen. If people were incapable of loving others as themselves, there would be no possibility of any laws from God. No judgment would be fair. We would be INCAPABLE of understanding anything of the ways of God. What I find many modern evangelicals do is that they negate ANY love is...

Amen. I see this is how the two main commandments (loving others AND loving God) are related. Loving people that we see helps us to understand how we can love God whom we don't see. And the higher love of Christ...so sacrificial and so not counting the cost of serving Him...is seen in very small...

Yes. I see random acts of kindness as a more basic form of "disinterested benevolence" which means that a person is obediently waiting on the Lord before doing sacrificial acts for others. Jesus is the prime example of "disinterested benevolence." This speaks of a vast spiritual maturity. Jesus...

Not at all....just being specific. :)

The only problem with that is that there are MANY decoys out there. If the person has a job title saying "pastor" in a building labeled as "church"...that's a decoy. Spiritual gifting doesn't come with titles.

Many will CLAIM to be born again the same way they claim everything in the bible that sounds positive to them. It's "name it and claim it" for these. I can tell if a person is truly born again by whether they also accept the warnings that come with bible reading. If they justify themselves...
