Salvation is not merely a one time event. Salvation, in its entirety comprises of Justification; which means forgiven for your past life of sin and saved from the bondage of sin. Next is Sanctification aka discipleship, which is the renewing of the mind to be like Christ’s and being prepared to be holy as God is Holy, obeying Christ and abiding in Him. The last is Glorification which is when we actually do acquire the inheritance of true salvation by receiving rewards and reigning with Christ with our new heavenly bodies. In the New Testament, you would realize these in phrases as Saved, Being saved and Shall be saved respectively. Salvation is a race of faith, you’ve got to endure and finish it in order for you to be glorified.

@@timothy4557 your verses absolutely do nothing to disprove my point. Tear my argument apart then we can have a discussion. Seems like you were trying to make an argument for universalism which would make your stance even worse because that’s fallacious at best. However, considering some of your verses like Tim 4:10 “This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.” actually argues against your stance because it states clearly that we must STRIVE to achieve our final reward. Also, 1 Corinthians 15:22 “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Verse 23 refutes universalism because it clearly states those who belong to him will be the ones to be taken. Now, address my earlier comment. Thank you.

It is misleading the public to say that nothing is required by God for Salvation. Jesus said that it is hard to be his follower. Matthew 7:14 "For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Luke 13:23-24 also says that many will be rejected by Jesus: "Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able." Jesus said that there are requirements that one has to meet if they want him to accept them. Luke 14:25-33 "Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, ..." Jesus said that their is a cost to find Salvation. When Christians contradict Jesus by teaching that God requires nothing of us, they are decieved and are deceiving others.

Keep preaching the truth brother! Salvation is by faith alone through Christ alone! If it was by our works then there would have been no point in Jesus coming to earth. Massive respect for preaching the real truth about salvation. So many christians have been preaching a false gospel.

I just broke down in tears listening to this because I had no idea I was deceived for so many years. I know I was saved but I let these outfits convinced me I wasn't. And now when I listen, there are three things that I've observed 1. Lordship salvation is a tiny bit of leaven (one grain of yeast in one measure of flour) 2. One grain will "contaminate" the entire measure of flour 3. My soul is grieved for the bait these teachers lay out. Bait is necessary to catch a fish. It is also a trick to the fish- come here for this lil tasty morsel....there's more where this came from. To expect everyone to be skilled fisherman to know which bait to reject and which bait to accept is like asking the fish if he knows which hook will get him thrown back into the sea for another swim or served as lunch later on that day. These outfits bait you with the Gospel...of false Jesus. A snare. An entrapment. Look around you. God is in Christ reconciling the world back to Himself, and they are arguing over Lordship Salvation, Calvanism and Armenism. Remember Satan gives you two choices and they're both wrong. That's how you know they're from him!! ( I know for allegory purposes there were three things mentioned, but I think you understand what I mean. Another example: I use "discipline" as God's middle ground, which is where truth rests. Satan gives you two choices: beat the crap out of your child, or let them run the house and do whatever they want.)

When Christians contradict Jesus by teaching that God requires nothing of us, they are decieved and are deceiving others.

When you are Christian you are a disciple of Christ. As you grow in your relationship with Him you will continue to surrender your old ways to Him. You are giving things up for your relationship with Him. Discipleship is your sanctification process. Being a disciple isn’t being saved, it’s what you become after you’re saved. You become a student of Christ. A follower of Jesus.

Child like faith, It is finished.....lordship salvation is the Gospel plus... Thanks Onorato clear as day!

These people are diluting the simplicity of the Gospel. John MacArthur does not determine how a person can be saved, Christ determined how to be saved. The whole book of John explains that to us. John 20;30-31 Thanks for exposing these liars. Lots of people are following these people though, and even their website is full of much of this garbage ♻️ .

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." - Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV. I always hear the voice of Dr. Charles Stanley whenever I read that verse. Listening to his sermons years ago is partly what led me to put my faith in Christ.

First, you must be under conviction, drawn to Christ by the Holy Spirit. I felt as if I was being given a choice to choose Christ or to reject him after years of running from Him. I knew that if I turned away and rejected Him it might be my last opportunity. I asked Jesus to come in and change me and immediately the feelings of guilt and stress left me. I physically felt it. That was almost 20 years ago and I am still struggling to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ, and although I stumble and fall a lot, I have NEVER lost my salvation. Like the Johnny Cash song, "I was there when it Happened"!

Amen! Good one Ono! Simple Gospel and simple explanation. God bless you bro!

Excellent pointing out of the error of lordship(works) salvation. If anyone had an hour to ask all who believe in that false gospel certain questions, maybe they might see that they are way more sinful then they think. Especially if they would answer honestly about their thoughts which never seems to come up on works based gospels because all would rightfully fall on the sinful side. Salvation is totally free, serving Christ will demand sacrifice which is why the reward for service is so precious and amazing.

Yes! Justification happens once and sanctification is ongoing. Lordship salvation is works based and is front and back loading the pure Gospel message of faith alone in Christ alone.

We are not perfect. But we no longer live for ourselves but for the one who bought us with His blood. We are new creations created in Christ Jesus for good works. He is the prime mover. We can't earn our salvation. We can't earn His favor. We obey Him because we love Him And His commands are not burdensome to us. Please read your Bibles. Salvation is the gift of God and comes with a brand new heart!

Justification is once off, Sanctification is a life long process of learning to love the lord, showing the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit in ones life

We're coming to Jesus in humility, contrite in spirit, with an empty hand that reaches out to Jesus with all of our heart and all our soul. We're coming to Jesus with nothing. Having nothing before Jesus, but a temporary life, knowing temporary pleasure, temporary relationships, false hope and false peace. We're trading a whole lot of nothing for a great big eternal Almighty God that changes our lives forever from the moment we meet and are set apart. If you think you have something holding onto worldly things, with the other hand dipped into a religion, you're a fool, worse than an unbeliever, that's the bottom line.

These false teachers are the ones who turn the majority away from Christ because the average thinking person know in their hearts they can never be good enough so think forget that I'm going to hell anyway. Not realising if you can never be good enough qualifies you for salvation by simply believing turning to Christ. Thank you Brother you deliver only Good News. Praise Jesus Christ ✝️

I'm so glad I had a mama who was raised in an old fashioned style, mourner's bench, Baptist church and showed me the right way. Sure no Christian is perfect. We still need to learn, grow, go on into sanctifaction and greater discipleship. How can one be born again, transformed by the power of God, made a new creature in Christ, a child of God, a citizen of Heaven and NOT be surrendered to the authority and Lordship of Jesus Christ. "God forbid. How shall we who are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" My high school pastor summed it up well, "works are the fruit of our salvation NOT the root of it." I have more respect for some Catholics than I do some of these anti repentance/Lordship folks.

Billy Grahm did preach repent of your sins .That is incorrect. Correct ?

Thank you for making it so clear.

Excellent teaching

Good word sir

Amazing!

I thank thee holy Spirit helping us thru you

Great exposure onorato God bless you so much

So sad they just refuse to believe Jesus is the only way. Can't have it both ways. Either Jesus or your works. I choose Jesus. So easy and so simple.

Wow amazing understanding. ❤

MacArthur's "Gospel According Jesus" is a very misguided book. Check out Robert Wilkin's "Gospel of Doubt" refuting his book.

I like to explain it in this simple manner: Salvation is easy. Being a good Christian is difficult.

Your videos are very encouraging to me and a real blessing in my life. I am sure they have also been a blessing to so many others who have been deceived by the confusion caused by Lordship Salvation preachers.

Thank you for the clear distinction between salvation and discipleship it’s a very clear message unlike the false prophets double talk causing more confusion instead of understanding. God bless ✝️🕊🙏🏽♥️

So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?” He answered them, “I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?” They reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.” The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes. We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him. Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.” They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they put him out. - John 9:26-34

It's really strange that Calvinists actually seem to take pride in teaching contradictions. They seem to gloat over their own ignorance as if it is proof of spiritual enlightenment. It's creepy.

It is only a high cost to someone who desires to live in sin/follow their own heart more than they desire to live in Christ. The rich young ruler proves this.

@@OnoDiamante I agree with your video. We appear to be affirming each other here. I also agree that faith is a free gift, however just because a gift is free does not mean that it is maintenance free. Faith is not a passive state but rather an active one. For example, God commands all followers to spread the good news. Willful and constant rebellion to this indeed puts one's faith in jeopardy. If you love someone and trust someone, you obey them. Constant willful disobedience and unrepentance is a sign contrary to both total love and trust. On the outside we can say hmm that person is probably not truly saved, but ultimately only God knows. Bearing one's cross is in reference to the Christian walk of faith and the suffering therein. Saving Grace is indeed a free gift. But the temptation to throw that gift away for the world or for sin is an ever-present temptation until the day we die. Therefore, taking up one's cross is the active striving against that temptation and the abiding of one's self in Christ through following his commands, fellowship, scripture reading, worship, etc. no matter how difficult any of those may become. Indeed if a Christian does not take up his cross everyday, he is in the greatest danger he could ever possibly know.

1 John 2:3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

Yeah, gotquestions is chalked with this. The gospel message is good news to believed as we are hopeless without christ.

Salvation is free. Discipleship is costly.

great vid

“Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him MUST live as Jesus did.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭

Amen!!

Also even when Jesus talks about people not being worthy of being his disciple it doesn't mean one should give up on descipleship. People can get discouraged with dicipleship, because the cost is high, but even Peter wasn't worthy when he denied Christ 3 times, but he grew stronger later on. That also shows that salvation is different from discipleship, as Christ didn't abandon Peter when he failed as a disciple. Not only was there no loss of salation, but there was no loss of discipleship either. When Jesus scorns people who put their hand to the plou and look back he's not saying they can't be a disciple, only that they're not worthy to be one. He's just encouraging them to practice not looking back, and to get worthy as a disciple. It takes time to get that spiritually mature, which is why it's daily. No one is worthy as a disiple from day 1.

My brother, I'm enjoying these videos. Faith alone - Ephesians 2:8-9. Salvation - The debt has been paid. Discipleship - There's a cost. Paul said "I die daily".

This verse is often misunderstood. Notice the part “never knew you”. These are not born again believers who are saved by faith alone. If they were Jesus would have known them. They were never saved to begin with. They didn’t put all their faith and trust in Christ, but rather relied on their works. They did. Or accept the free gift of salvation and instead wanted to earn it by right. Transfer your trust from yourself and your works to the Savior! I genuinely hope the best for you. Shane

100% correct

I swear people treat John Macarthur like he's the pope.

Love your channel....Just a question about the verse...If you right arm causes you to sin, it is better to cut it off than than not entering heaven...or something to that effect, Does this mean that believers who enter heaven, must cut of their sin before they enter heaven? Thank you!!!!

Jesus is emphasizing the severity of sin’s consequence (Hell) and the standard that must be met (perfection). If the law must be kept AT ALL, then ALL THE LAW must be kept. We need the imputed righteousness of God himself which is by faith in Jesus Christ.

Well said brother. How could a young child understand Luke 14:26 and be saved if discipleship and salvation are the same.

Perfectly example

Amen bro, Lordship salvation is rank heresy, nigh Roman Catholicism, and front or backloads the Gospel. Typical Lordship salvation can not distinguish betwixt salvation and service. God bless.

When Jesus spoke any words we have wrote down it is under the law, the new covenant did not even start until after his death burial and resurrection. I do not understand how so many people who claim to know the bible can not understand this very important fact, that is where a lot of confusion comes in.
