If Western Christians ever woke up to God's provisions & promises, we'd be a real threat to the gates of hell. We've settled for institutional church instead 😴
We can post nice, encouraging little blurbs, images, memes, scripture quotes & GIFs from now until the kingdom comes...
but unless we REPENT of our apathy, self-seeking, disobedience & refusal to take up our cross & follow Him, it's all just noise in the end
Isn't it?
John Piper explains how he can believe that Christ died to save ONLY the elect, but he can also look the lost right in the face & tell them that Christ died FOR THEM. Christ reaches out to EVERYONE, saying, "This is yours if you will come."
What utter, incoherent insanity 😵💫
TRIBULATION is promised & guaranteed by Jesus, Paul, Peter & others, yet millions believe that we will FLY before it hits
IF it's pre-trib we all win. If it's NOT [& it ISN'T] the promised apostasy [falling away] comes & many DEPART from Christ.
Simple truth & reality here. RT
Biblical love is seeking the highest and best for others, even those who despise or persecute us.
Jesus did this from the cross. Stephen did the same for the religious leaders putting him to death.
This love is supernatural. We cannot express it apart from union with him.
Once-Saved-Always-Saved [OSAS] is a recent, false doctrine that will contribute to the devastation of the faith of countless, mostly Western believers.
Hyper-grace is OSAS on steroids & leads to blasphemous, heretical ideas like this, by

I wish people would quit pointing fingers at me and saying I teach that believers can "lose their salvation."
We CAN NOT lose our salvation, but we can abandon or forfeit the eternal life that God has promised in various ways.

Once-Saved-Always-Saved [OSAS] is a fairly new doctrine, held mostly by believers in Westernized institutional churches.
Those who hold to OSAS & a pre-trib rapture will be strong candidates for the clearly prophesied, end-time falling away from the faith.
PLS RT if willing 😊
Who will join me in praying that God will bring the churches in the western world [and their global transplants] into genuine repentance and a release from our captivity?
Doug Wilson & James White discuss the SUPERIORITY of evangelism done the CALVINIST way.
You see, non-Calvinists share the gospel, then "kick themselves all the way home."
🤔 "Why didn't I say this & I forgot to say that, now this person is going to hell because of me!"
James
Scripture calls believers to WORK OUT, with fear and trembling 😳, the salvation that God is WORKING IN us.
If salvation was totally secure & guaranteed from "the moment we believe," does verse 12 make any sense at all?
🤔 Think about this, brethren who believe in OSAS.
When the disciples heard Jesus call them to follow Him by denying themselves, picking up their crosses, and losing their lives, they did not receive it as a metaphor. Within a few decades almost every one of them was executed for their allegiance to the Lamb. - Dalton Thomas
If 5-point Calvinism were true, and God regenerated "the elect" BEFORE faith, then we should expect to see Reformed Christians living far holier, more righteous, Christlike lives than non-calvinists.
There is zero evidence that this is the case.
Food for thought.
ONE brief passage utterly refutes Once-Saved-Always-Saved.
The Colossians WERE alienated from God. They are NOW reconciled & WILL BE presented holy & unblamable in God's sight IF they continue in the faith & are not moved away from the gospel.
Is this passage not crystal clear?
Question for Calvinists:
If dead-in-sin, Lazarus-like, corpse-like reprobates, the non-elect, have ZERO chance of believing the gospel & being saved...
🤔 WHY would the devil waste his time & talents blinding the minds of such hopelessly lost people?
If God decreed and preordained all things that would EVER happen, as Calvinism clearly teaches, then why do Calvinists spend so much time, effort, and energy... and work SO hard... trying to convince everyone of the supposed truth of Calvinism?
Please, can somebody explain this?
The Modern "gospel" usually begins with, "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life!"
Do you think the early Christians came to the Lord, suffered and died based on that kind of gospel? How about believers in China, Iran and other places today? Think about it🤔!
Calvinist preacher & teacher Steve Lawson clearly shows the inconsistency & incoherent nature of 5-point Calvinism.
If GOD decreed & preordained ALL things that would EVER happen, then this "preaching"... blaming MEN for the damnation of souls... makes absolutely no sense 😵💫
Calvinists insist that nobody EVER seeks God until God intervenes & changes them.
Paul debunks that idea in Acts 17, & even says that God now COMMANDS all men to repent.
In Calvinism, only "the elect" can possibly repent, meaning God COMMANDS what only a chosen few can do.
The doctrines of Once-Saved-Always-Saved & a pre-trib rapture breed complacency, self-seeking & a refusal to take up ones cross & FOLLOW Christ.
These doctrines will devastate the faith of MANY who've been justified but are among the rocky & thorny-soil believers who blow away.
Torah-keepers say we must keep the Commandments after being justified, but scripture teaches we DIED to the law, that the purpose of law is to reveal our sin & bring us to Christ, that Christ redeemed us from the law's curse.
LOVE, Christ manifest through us, fulfills the law!
The Calvinism of John MacArthur teaches that God PREORDAINED everyone who would be saved & everyone who would be damned.
What he teaches in the brief clip below sounds exactly like NON-calvinist teaching & is a great example of how Calvinists contradict their own "doctrines."
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice! [Phil 4:4]
A hard word to obey, especially when circumstances are dark and gloomy😖, but we MUST get hold of the truth that our God is working ALL things together for the good of those who LOVE Him, meaning who OBEY Him.
The doctrine that says, "Once you believe the gospel, there is NOTHING that can affect your heavenly destiny. You may be chastised for sin or lose rewards, but you are eternally secure" is false & dangerous for a several reasons.
Below is the start of a BRIEF case against OSAS.
Why do we speak of worship "services", a time & place where we sing spiritual songs, hopefully "feel" closer to God, then listen to announcements & a sermon before going home?
What IS worship?
It's submission, obedience & true consecration of all that we are & all we do, to God
CALVINISTS: If all men are born spiritually blind, even dead, as 5-point Calvinism clearly teaches, then why would Satan need to blind the minds of unbelievers, so that the light of the Gospel should not shine unto them?
Why the need to blind those who are already blind & dead?

theology, mocks & utterly misrepresents the non-Calvinist view of election & salvation.
This is SO typical of his condescending, deceptive way of making those who don't buy Calvinism look like fools.
Colossians 3:3-4 You are dead, & your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who IS OUR LIFE, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.
Jesus must BE our very life, as Lord. He cannot simply be added to our life as Savior.
Let's not delude ourselves.
There are 3 major things that WILL devastate the faith of MANY Christians when the soon-coming, prophesied heat 🔥 & shaking come upon us.
Those who refuse to see or reckon with the BIG dangers involved with these 3 things will have an extremely rough time in these end of days.
The Lord led me today to a meeting, in the park, between 3 Mormon "elders" & an older woman they were luring in. By God's grace, I joined the meeting & exposed the awful heresies they never reveal early on.
Please pray for Sandra, who clearly was seeing God's light & the 3 guys
🔥Please pray for me if you're willing. I am NOT living in the fullness of what God has promised and provided for.
I am simply PART of the weak, anemic, self-satisfied, disobedient "church" I speak of that doesn't manifest the very LIFE of Jesus in this sick, chaotic world.
We can’t "lose salvation," like a pack of gum in our pocket, but we CAN draw back unto perdition; we CAN choose to NOT CONTINUE in the faith; we CAN depart from the Living God; we CAN deny Him; we CAN be cut off due to unbelief.
Biblical warnings are absurd if they can't happen.
A pre-trib rapture expectation is not only unbiblical; it is dangerous. A false expectation of escape will result in the faith of many being devastated when it fails to come.
See 2 images below for clear, biblical evidence. No pre-tribber has even tried to refute this evidence.
@easaolus
Pre-trib rapture and once saved always saved will play a major role in the end time apostasy.
Pre-trib is absolutely, provably false. So is once saved always saved.
Both of these "doctrines" appeared very late in church history.
Most Christians believe that sin is expected & inevitable, & say "I'm a wretched sinner saved by grace. I'll sin EVERY DAY. Thank GOD for His grace!"
That is an utter rejection of the true gospel, a denial of God's power & a reproach to His name.
Get in the word & repent!
Torah Terrorists, who insist that ALL New Covenant believers must KEEP the Ten commandments [SABBATH!!], dietary laws & Hebrew Feasts, say it's NOT a NEW Covenant, but a RENEWED one, & that salvation depends on KEEPING the above commands.
Hebrews 8 says otherwise.
PLEASE RT 🥰
Many people want eternal life in heaven with Christ but do not want the life here on earth which Christ lived ~Andrew Murray
He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked (1 John 2:6)
Again, I'll ask... If Calvinism is true, and God decreed and preordained ALL things that would EVER happen, then...
Why do Calvinists work so hard trying to get everyone else to accept the supposed truth of Calvinism?
Below is my biblical case against a pre-trib rapture
Most pre-tribbers who've been challenged to debunk it have ignored the challenge & walked away
A handful have offered convoluted, heavily "theological" dissertations on why it's wrong & pointed me to the professional experts
We lose sight of the fact that this passage is God speaking to those who would take risks, do battle, defeat enemies & take hold of promises.

for posting the video below, saying that THE BIBLE TEACHES we can trust Christ as our savior, then go out & LIVE LIKE THE DEVIL!
See screenshots of their 2 hideous posts in 2nd tweet.
Here's how John MacArthur "explains" the paradox of God's sovereignty in salvation & man's responsibility.
He says, dogmatically... "There's NO QUESTION about this... & that... & also this."
NO QUESTION!
He then ends by saying, "The fact that they are apparently paradoxical
We think we can obey the command to love as Jesus loved us. We CAN'T.
Only Jesus living in and then through us can fulfill that command.
Apart from Him, we can do nothing!
Pre-trib rapture people say "God would never allow His bride to get beaten up"
He allowed Paul, Peter, Stephen & COUNTLESS, faithful disciples throughout history to suffer BEYOND our imagination, yet modern-day, comfy, western "believers" get to be snatched away. What arrogance!
Too many Christians are placing way too much trust in pastors, teachers, & so-called prophets and apostles.
Hucksters & ecumenism abound.
Jer 17: 5 Thus says the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the Lord.
IT IS FINISHED!
PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE SINS ARE ALL PAID FOR!
THE FORGIVENESS IS FINAL.
THE ABSOLUTION IS ABSOLUTE.
JESUS CHRIST PAID THE FULL COST FOR ALL SINS FOREVER!
Here's Billy, one of the BIG voices on Twitter for the requirement to "KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS," using the incredibly deceptive, Matthew 19:17 scare tactic to make YOU believe, falsely, that Jesus taught eternal life depends on commandment-keeping.
Run from these Torah Terrorists
If Christians put 1/100th the time, energy & zeal into truly LIVING the gospel as they put into politics & other such matters, we... as the early church did... would turn this world upside-down.
Instead, we are bland, boring & irrelevant, despite our massive numbers.
The 2 central "doctrines" of Calvinism, which have repulsed countless people, are:
1. God chooses some people for salvation & ALL the rest to eternal damnation, &
2. God decreed & preordained EVERYTHING that would ever happen.
🤔 Are you willing to accept these doctrines ⬇️ ?
We're not called to make converts, but to make disciples.
Non-disciples can't make disciples, and today's "churches" tend to snuff out any real desire for discipleship, rather than fan that desire into flame & nurture it
Even the lost know we are bland, boring and irrelevant.
We Christians debate & argue about countless issues, often forsaking love. Our so-called knowledge puffs up but love edifies
Unbelievers can see we're not "the real deal". It's why the church is irrelevant
Let's WAKE UP, repent & BE true Christ-bearers b4 darkness overwhelms us

@HwsEleutheroi
[James White] in which he deviously, dishonestly misrepresents the non-Calvinist view of God's saving of sinners.
He MUST KNOW that this lying nonsense is NOT the view of those not holding the diabolical, 5-point Calvinism that he peddles.
I'm often accused of "attacking" brothers in Christ.
I "attack" nobody, but do oppose, with great zeal, so-called doctrines that I'm convinced are false & dangerous to the spiritual well-being of many believers AND yet-to-be believers.
It's up to you to accept or reject this.
So many non-Calvinists assume that those who hold to 5-point Calvinist beliefs are BROTHERS & SISTERS who merely have a different perspective on salvation.
I pass judgment on no one, but I have to wonder if that is a reasonable assumption, considering the following realities ⤵️
Jesus- "In the world you WILL have TRIBULATION."
Paul- "We must through MUCH TRIBULATION enter into the kingdom of God."
Global Christians - Have suffered intensely and died down through millennia.
Western Christians- "God would never beat up His bride. We're rapture ready!"
I'm seeing more and more people tweeting about the any-moment rapture of the church.
I 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 I upset people by saying this, & I don't mean to, but a pre-trib expectation is a delusion that will devastate the faith of millions when it fails to happen.
It's mind-boggling to me that Christians can "attend" institutional, 501c3 churches, led by professional, seminary-trained "pastors", and believe that these religious institutions actually fit in with God's design and purposes for His people in a sin-sick, dying world.
God now COMMANDS all men everywhere to repent [Acts 17:30], but the god of Calvinism "grants" repentance to only a select, relative few, "the elect."
Billions of the rest of all who have ever lived [the reprobate] were doomed to eternal torment 🔥 from before they were even born
Once-Saved-ALWAYS-Saved, or OSAS, is a very recent, false & dangerous "doctrine."
The 3 text images below are a brief case against OSAS.
Show me where I'm wrong without dodging the scriptures or making them say something other than what they plainly say.

The fear of God is to hate and depart from evil.
Many aren't even aware of this and many don't really care, since they have received a watered-down, man-centered "gospel", by which everyone can do what is right in their own eyes.
People believe that we can obey the two Commandments found below. We can't. It's impossible.
This is why we are commanded to put off the old man, to put on Christ, and have Him live in us and through us.
I'm going to start tweeting about the need for believers, including me, to turn from our own ways to God's.
Many will not LIKE this.

Many insist we must "keep" the Sabbath as the day of worship, although the Sabbath is 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧, a ceasing from 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞.
This foreshadows giving up our own 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗦, which are worthless, & receiving, by faith, what God has already done 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗨𝗦, in Christ, which is perfect.
ALL THE LAW hangs upon loving God & loving others [seeking for their highest & best]. It can be "kept" ONLY by an indwelling Lord showing forth HIS life & nature in us as we put off Adam & put on Christ.
It is BONDAGE to think there is another way, like LAW KEEPING

How can so many church-going Christians NOT see & understand that this thing we "do", called "going to church" & "sitting under" 😬 a single, professional, so-called pastor, is light-years removed from genuine, organic, biblical Ekklesia?
"Attending" a local church never can & never will be the right environment for raising up a body of biblical DISCIPLES who manifest the life & nature of Christ.
The blandness 🥱, powerlessness & irrelevance of our countless institutional "churches" prove this beyond any doubt.
Torah-Observant "Christians", with their insistence that YOU must "keep" the Commandments, especially the 7th-day SABBATH, are a major threat to the true gospel & to young believers

MANY are coming under this diabolical influence.
Pray for sight... upward, inward, and outward! Then like Isaiah, as we look upward, we will see the Lord in His holiness; looking inward, we will see ourselves & our need for cleansing & power; & outward, we will see a world that is perishing, in need of a Saviour.

Israel disobeyed God & had numerous idols.
The Churches, with our tremendous advantages over ancient Israel, have gone down the same road, but we refuse to see it and repent.
We think, "Peace, peace!" when there is no peace.

demonstrates the typical dogmatic, arrogant posture of so many who promote the recent, false, dangerous pre-trib rapture lie.
They will have to give an account for this.
Below, MacArthur reveals yet more evidence of the incoherence of Calvinism.
🤔 Why would a condition of accountability; or understanding law or grace, sin or salvation; or consciously rejecting the truth matter IF God decreed & preordained all things that would ever happen?
Why was the early church so powerful & alive? They knew the basics. Do we?
Baptism is your funeral. God doesn't fix you. He gets rid of you
You must put off Adam, put on Christ & LIVE OUT that reality.
You WILL suffer intense trials & persecution, but the rewards are worth it!
Jesus said "Narrow is the gate & difficult is the way which LEADS to life, and there are FEW who find it [Mt 7:13-14]
A gate AND a way!
This contradicts the standard "gospel" preached today, which basically says:
"Believe & accept Jesus & you're IN!
I wonder who is right!
In 5-point Calvinism, there are the elect, & the reprobates. The reprobates were DECREED, by God, to damnation. They have ZERO chance to ever heed the gospel call, repent & be saved.
MacArthur's teaching below is COMPLETELY out of line with the 5-point Calvinism he professes 😖
@JoshuaVatsN
Yes I will (it's likely coming), BY HIS GRACE.
I avoid self-confidence, since scripture says...
1 Cor 10: 12 Let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
John MacArthur, a major voice in Calvinism, at a major Calvinist conference, described what he claims is essentially Arminian theology.
"The sinner, UNAIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, must make the first move, & God then will respond."
This is incredible ignorance OR blatant LIES.
Calvinist teacher Steve Lawson reveals how inconsistent & incoherent calvinist teaching can be.
If GOD unchangeably decreed & preordained ALL things that would EVER happen, then this "preaching"... blaming MEN for the damnation of souls... is absurd, & Steve doesn't even
NO, we cannot "imitate" Christ.
NO, we can't wonder, "What would Jesus do?" and DO it.
Only Jesus can BE Jesus, in and through us.
Believe it! Take hold of it! He is ALL we need!
Paul says this about those who insist that YOU keep the law:
1 Tim 1:8 We know the law is good if a man use it lawfully 9 KNOWING THIS, that the law is NOT MADE for a righteous man, but for the lawless & disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane...
If you are one of the countless Western Christians who believe the pre-trib rapture "doctrine," you are under the influence of false, delusional "teaching" that didn't exist within the church until around 1830.
