Whatever Happened to Repentance? (A.W. Tozer) A solid exhortation from A.W. Tozer, one of our top modern era Christian Theologians, and one whose Spirit-led writings have influenced me and countless others greatly. Encouraged to come across this short devotion on Repentance that confirms what...

Thanks to those who have responded so far. I've gotten a few replies in other venues as well. One of the reasons this question has come to my mind and prompted me personally to dig deeper, is the Truth that the "Gospel" was preached hundreds of year before the Man Jesus was born. Indeed there...

Thank you for your perspective. :) Blessings to you this Christmas as we celebrate the birth of the Christ.

I will check it out. But I'd rather have your own personal opinion of what the Gospel means to YOU. There are a lot of denominational views concerning the Gospel and Salvation; but as I always encourage Pastors and Bible Teachers: speak from your own experience and understanding.

Curious what you do with Heb 5:9, and the literally hundreds of other passages I've presented which speak of the required "obedience" of those who will inherit the promises of God. Can you accept even Heb 5:9? May the veil be lifted.

Actually, been teaching in the Foursquare denomination for a while. (Similar to the AOG and Calvary Chapel doctrine.) Thanks for asking! :preach: :bible: Now, I don't agree with everything they adhere to, but there are a few of us who present such as I've presented here in this Forum, and the...

What is the Gospel? Question for the saints here on CH… From your own perspective and understanding of Scripture, what is the Gospel? When you share with someone, how do you present the Gospel, and what it means to you? Not going to debate here at all. I am actually preparing a Bible Study...

Man, you know the "Christian Religion" doctrine well. But it's not the doctrine of the Bible. For one thing, the Scripture never once states that no one was able to keep the Law, so that's why we needed a Savior. The Bible mentions several that "kept the Law blamelessly." For another...

Amen. One of my favorite verses! A great lie of the enemy that has a stronghold in the churches today, is that 'as long as we are in the world we have to sin', or something along that line of carnal thinking. No. God's Elect are commanded to "depart from iniquity." There is no provision in...

Oh yes! If you would ever just read what I actually say, and watch the teachings the Lord has given me, you'd know that I firmly believe and preach that we are saved from bondage by what Jesus alone accomplished by His own obedience to God. (And if you quote me here, please use the entire post...

You've confused me with another perhaps. That quote which includes Matt 5:48 is not from me. :) Guarantee you won't find me defining "obedience" like that. And again, from what I've seen some others share in this forum, I know the difference between the Law of Moses and the Gospel far better...

God has had great mercy upon me. If you knew from where I have come. Thank You Lord, for Your salvation, and the opportunity you have given some to become One with Christ Jesus! And what I have presented, ma'am, is RIGHT on EVERY LEVEL. :) May your eyes be opened to receive the Truth.

Indeed, that is your opinion. But it is not Scripture. "And having been perfected, Jesus became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him." - Heb 5:9 Can we deny this Truth? And no, 'accepting Him' is not 'obeying Him', as there is no commandment in the Word to 'accept Jesus.' We...

Hmmm... I believe every single verse he quoted, and I use them often in my teaching. The message I present is what Jesus, the Apostles and Prophets taught. If you had ever stopped by the site or read the Bible Studies you would know that. :) The difference is that what I teach includes ALL of...

Great passages I use often in teaching. But I would clarify that our "believing" is only proven by our behavior, our conduct, our obedience, our works. So many struggle today with the Truth that in God's eyes, He only knows what we "believe" by what we actually DO. A 'confession of faith'...

Got a chuckle from that! No, I am not confused in the least. :lol: I've actually been teaching on the Christian life for several years now in churches. :preach: :bible: What so many seem to misunderstand is what "salvation" is, as well as what the "Gospel" is, according to Scripture. That's...

What most modern preaching has patched together from favorite verses pulled out of context, while ignoring the great bulk of the New Testament, including what the Lord Jesus, Himself, taught... is not the Gospel. I'm sorry. But if ANY teaching of the Bible has to exclude large portions, then...

"The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6 And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you." - Luke 17:5-6 ESV Faith is something we must exercise. It's something we...

Ma'am, again, we are not on the same page. Same Book, just different pages. You are speaking Truth concerning "being saved", which is the very beginning of our walk with Christ. What I am presenting, as does most of the New Testament, is what is ahead for those few who will truly "walk...

Eternal Salvation requires obedience and repentance Amen. Indeed we should speak about God's saving grace and what Jesus did to those who yet have no hope, as the Lord leads. I personally do not see "blanket evangelism" in the Scripture. But definitely the Lord will open doors to share our...
