in my heart since Jesus made everything right. 06:43.600 --> 06:50.560 I gave him my old tattered garment, he gave me a robe of pure white. 06:51.520 --> 06:58.320 I'm feasting on menna from heaven

the week this week is Colossians 321 where the Bible says, 07:07.280 --> 07:11.760 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger lest they be discouraged, 07:11.760 --> 07:16.400 which is quite the parallel verse to what we read this morning in Ephesians chapter 6 verse number 4. 07:17.840 --> 07:20.000 What the heck is Bolton's Blake though? 07:21.360 --> 07:21.860 Awesome. 07:22.960 --> 07:24.240 All right, I'm getting set up up here. 07:24.240 --> 07:24.880 What's up with that? 07:27.280 --> 07:30.320 We're here at the Sunday night service where Jason's going to be preaching this sermon. 07:30.320 --> 07:32.880 It sounds like he's preaching on what it means to be a fundamentalist. 07:32.880 --> 07:34.560 I tried to tell him that he should name it, 07:34.560 --> 07:40.240 putting the fun in fundamentalism, but he did not go with that title so what can you do? 07:41.200 --> 07:43.040 But his title is way better anyways. 07:43.040 --> 07:47.840 But we just had our big old marathon that we did in Pullman, Washington, 07:47.840 --> 07:52.640 which we had technically 18 and then we got the 19 or the one after that. 07:52.640 --> 07:54.720 So Brother Jake did a video call so that's awesome. 07:54.720 --> 07:58.640 So the official number is what we'd say it would be 19. 08:07.360 --> 08:07.760 Nice. 08:07.760 --> 08:08.320 Praise God. 08:10.240 --> 08:12.080 But that's not attached to Pullman now is it? 08:12.080 --> 08:17.920 So we have a total then of 34. 08:20.480 --> 08:21.040 44. 08:21.680 --> 08:22.160 44. 08:22.160 --> 08:22.400 Okay. 08:22.400 --> 08:23.360 Oh, I'm tripping. 08:23.360 --> 08:24.720 Yeah, 44 for the year. 08:24.720 --> 08:25.280 Okay, awesome. 08:25.280 --> 08:26.000 Praise God then. 08:26.000 --> 08:26.400 That's great. 08:28.720 --> 08:33.040 Kids choir is going to be postponed until next week. 08:33.040 --> 08:36.000 We'll do that for the Easter service that we're going to be doing. 08:36.000 --> 08:37.680 We have the Bible memory challenge, which is started. 08:37.680 --> 08:38.560 So it's Psalms 23. 08:38.560 --> 08:41.840 I didn't even realize those bookmarks back there that we have have Psalm 23 on it. 08:41.840 --> 08:43.120 So that's super cool. 08:43.120 --> 08:47.120 So if you need one of those, you can grab one of those or just memorize the Bible. 08:47.120 --> 08:48.160 It's only six verses. 08:48.160 --> 08:50.960 So it should be a pretty easy set of verses. 08:50.960 --> 08:53.840 Most a lot of people have a lot of those verses memorized anyways. 08:53.840 --> 08:57.200 So it's not too bad of a challenge. 08:57.200 --> 08:59.360 I think just as more of like a test run. 08:59.360 --> 09:02.720 And then we're going to get into a bigger challenge after that. 09:02.720 --> 09:08.400 But also we have on March 29th, we have Pastor Thompson coming up to visit and to preach 09:08.400 --> 09:10.960 both sermons for our church anniversary. 09:10.960 --> 09:12.320 So that will be exciting. 09:14.560 --> 09:16.880 Been a hot second since he's come up here and preached. 09:16.880 --> 09:19.200 Tom, he's got a lot of plans to go to though. 09:19.200 --> 09:20.000 So I don't blame him. 09:20.000 --> 09:22.720 But yeah, I'm excited to have him come up and preach. 09:22.720 --> 09:24.880 It's always good to see my parents and our pastor. 09:24.880 --> 09:25.760 It's a two in one for me. 09:27.440 --> 09:30.000 Then we have April 12th, the men's preaching night. 09:30.000 --> 09:34.240 So I'm excited to see who's going to preach at that and what you guys are going to preach on. 09:34.240 --> 09:35.280 Like always. 09:35.600 --> 09:39.200 April 18th, we have the Nez Pier soul winning marathon, 09:40.160 --> 09:43.760 which will be with Brother David in Orphino, Idaho. 09:43.760 --> 09:45.680 So more details will come on that. 09:45.680 --> 09:50.960 But it looks like he's mostly taking up the planning for the maps as far as everything goes. 09:50.960 --> 09:52.720 He probably knows the area better than I do anyway. 09:52.720 --> 09:54.640 So that'll be good. 09:54.640 --> 09:58.480 We're looking forward to that and partnering with the Strait Baptist Church in Idaho. 10:00.240 --> 10:02.800 Our kids memory verse that we have for the week is 10:02.800 --> 10:07.840 Proverbs 16, 18, which is pride go up before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. 10:08.480 --> 10:12.480 And we already sang Happy Birthday to little Titus, return four. 10:12.480 --> 10:16.240 So we'll just get into the prayer request and then we'll do our third song. 10:16.240 --> 10:16.720 Let's pray. 12:33.680 --> 12:56.800 outstanding 12:56.800 --> 13:07.600 Song number 238, Christ liveth in me. 13:07.600 --> 13:12.600 Song number 238. 13:12.600 --> 13:23.600 Song 238, let's sing it together on the first. 13:23.600 --> 13:34.600 Once far from God and dead in sin, no light my heart could see. 13:34.600 --> 13:44.600 But in God's word, the light I found, now Christ liveth in me. 13:44.600 --> 13:49.600 Christ liveth in me. 13:49.600 --> 13:53.600 Christ liveth in me. 13:53.600 --> 14:02.600 Oh, what a salvation this, that Christ liveth in me. 14:02.600 --> 14:13.600 As rays of light from yonder sun, the flowers of earth set free. 14:13.600 --> 14:23.600 So life and light and love came forth from Christ living in me. 14:23.600 --> 14:28.600 Christ liveth in me. 14:28.600 --> 14:33.600 Christ liveth in me. 14:34.600 --> 14:44.600 Oh, what a salvation this, that Christ liveth in me. 14:44.600 --> 14:55.600 As lives the flowers within the seed, as in the cull the tree. 14:55.600 --> 15:05.600 So praise the God of truth and grace, his spirit dwelleth in me. 15:05.600 --> 15:10.600 Christ liveth in me. 15:10.600 --> 15:15.600 Christ liveth in me. 15:15.600 --> 15:25.600 Oh, what a salvation this, that Christ liveth in me. 15:25.600 --> 15:36.600 With longing all my heart is filled, that I like him may be. 15:36.600 --> 15:46.600 As on the wondrous thought I dwell, that Christ liveth in me. 15:46.600 --> 15:51.600 Christ liveth in me. 15:51.600 --> 15:56.600 Christ liveth in me. 15:56.600 --> 16:06.600 Oh, what a salvation this, that Christ liveth in me. 16:56.600 --> 17:07.600 Welcome back everybody. 17:07.600 --> 17:11.600 If you could take your Bibles and turn to Psalm 11. 17:11.600 --> 17:15.600 Psalm 11 will be our text this afternoon. 17:15.600 --> 17:22.600 And as always, here at Sure Foundation Baptist Church, we read the entire chapter before the preaching. 17:23.600 --> 17:28.600 Psalm 11, the Bible reads. 17:28.600 --> 17:35.600 In the Lord put I my trust, how say ye to my soul, flee as a bird to your mountain. 17:35.600 --> 17:44.600 For lo the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. 17:44.600 --> 17:48.600 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 17:48.600 --> 17:53.600 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven. 17:53.600 --> 17:58.600 His eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men. 17:58.600 --> 18:04.600 The Lord trieth the righteous, but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth. 18:04.600 --> 18:11.600 Upon the wicked he shall reign snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest. 18:11.600 --> 18:23.600 This shall be the portion of their cup, for the righteous Lord loveth righteousness, and his countenance doth behold the upright. 18:23.600 --> 18:28.600 Let's pray for the sermon. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you God for this day. Thank you for this church. 18:28.600 --> 18:34.600 I pray that you'll fill Brother Jason with your Holy Spirit. Please give us ears to hear tonight. In Jesus' name, amen. 18:34.600 --> 18:39.600 Amen. 18:39.600 --> 18:44.600 Alright, so we're here in Psalm chapter number 11, and if you want to look down there, verse number 3, where it says, 18:44.600 --> 18:49.600 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 18:49.600 --> 18:56.600 And the title of my sermon this evening is, What is a Fundamentalist? What is a Fundamentalist? 18:56.600 --> 19:03.600 And you know, I did not name the sermon like Brother Robby wanted me to, you know, putting the fun back into fundamentalism. 19:03.600 --> 19:10.600 But I do have a little factoid for everybody. Did you know that the H in fundamentalism stands for happiness? 19:10.600 --> 19:15.600 Yeah, it's true if you didn't know that, you know, you've got to just go look it up. 19:15.600 --> 19:18.600 But you know, when people ask me, you know, like, what kind of a Christian are you? 19:18.600 --> 19:29.600 Oftentimes I like to say I'm an independent, fundamental, temperamental, pre-millennial, radical, right-wing, chicken-eating, soul-winning King James Baptist, and I'm happy about it, you know. 19:29.600 --> 19:36.600 We're not necessarily going to put the fun in fundamentalism tonight, but we are going to learn about what is a fundamentalist, okay? 19:36.600 --> 19:46.600 So, and it says here in Psalms chapter number 11, verse number 3, you know, it says, Hey, if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 19:46.600 --> 19:54.600 And that, of course, is because, you know, the foundations of any building or any structure are something that's extremely important. 19:54.600 --> 20:03.600 And if you don't have it, you know, if your foundations are screwed up or your foundations are messed up, you're going to have major problems. Amen. 20:03.600 --> 20:11.600 And foundations is synonymous with something that is fundamental. And you know, what is fundamental? 20:11.600 --> 20:15.600 Well, fundamental is basically, it's like the basics of something. 20:15.600 --> 20:21.600 Like if you could have like the fundamentals of football or the fundamentals, you know, of wrestling. 20:21.600 --> 20:34.600 And basically that would be like, you know, the very basic, you know, parts, the basic understanding of any sport or of like, you know, the fundamentals of a building, right? 20:34.600 --> 20:41.600 That would be like, you know, we're not necessarily talking about which kind of paint you're going to put on the interior when you're talking about the fundamentals of a building. 20:41.600 --> 20:47.600 You're talking about, OK, how thick is the foundation going to be? What kind of concrete is it going to be made out of? 20:47.600 --> 20:51.600 You know, how far down does, you know, do the piles have to go for this bridge? 20:51.600 --> 20:58.600 Like that's what we're talking about with fundamentals. You know, how much can this structural beam hold up? 20:58.600 --> 21:01.600 Right. That's what we're talking about when we're talking about fundamentals. 21:01.600 --> 21:04.600 We're talking about something that's like the core, the foundation of something. Right. 21:04.600 --> 21:10.600 And, of course, you know, if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 21:10.600 --> 21:17.600 And if you think of any skyscraper, if you have a foundation that gets destroyed, what's going to happen to that building? 21:17.600 --> 21:21.600 It's going down. It's not going to last long. 21:21.600 --> 21:26.600 You know, and it's important in any building to have, you know, have a sure foundation. Amen. 21:26.600 --> 21:30.600 And, you know, oftentimes you'll see you'll see houses many times that are built. 21:30.600 --> 21:39.600 And then like 10 years later, they'll call it settling, where basically the foundation, you know, it, you know, for when it was first built, 21:39.600 --> 21:43.600 it was built on maybe ground that wasn't solid. Right. 21:43.600 --> 21:49.600 And then over time it will settle. And then you'll see part of the house kind of like breaking away from another part of the house. 21:49.600 --> 21:53.600 You know, oftentimes the garage will have like an issue where it's like kind of breaking away from the house. 21:53.600 --> 21:58.600 Well, it's because that foundation was moving because the foundation wasn't sure. 21:58.600 --> 22:06.600 So you'll have other structural issues. You only have a big old crack form in the wall because of an issue with the foundations. 22:07.600 --> 22:12.600 And so, you know, when it comes to, you know, the religion, when it comes to Christianity, you know, 22:12.600 --> 22:19.600 the foundation is going to be something that's extraordinarily important because if you don't have your foundation correct, 22:19.600 --> 22:21.600 nothing else in the building is going to be correct. 22:21.600 --> 22:28.600 And of course, you know, the bigger the building, the taller the building, the more important that foundation becomes. 22:28.600 --> 22:36.600 You know, if you were making like a little teepee or whatever, you know, maybe the foundation isn't quite as important in a teepee. 22:36.600 --> 22:43.600 But, you know, when you're building like a 100-story building, all of a sudden that foundation becomes extraordinarily important. Right. 22:43.600 --> 22:49.600 And, you know, when it comes to religion, you know, we're not building a teepee with religion, my friend. 22:49.600 --> 22:54.600 You know, this is something that's an extremely important part of our lives. 22:54.600 --> 23:03.600 You know, if you want to play baseball and you never master the fundamentals of baseball, you know, you might not be a very good baseball player. 23:03.600 --> 23:08.600 But that's, you know, in the grand scheme of things, that's not the end of the world. 23:08.600 --> 23:14.600 Or if you don't master the fundamentals of like football or whatever, you know, you may not be a good football player. 23:14.600 --> 23:18.600 But in the grand scheme of things, it's okay. You're going to survive. 23:18.600 --> 23:24.600 You know, your life is probably going to turn out okay anyway, even though you weren't the best, you know, football player. 23:24.600 --> 23:34.600 But when it comes to religion, you know, that is going to play a major determining factor of how your life is going to turn out and potentially how your eternity turns out. 23:34.600 --> 23:43.600 Right. Because if you have your foundation screwed up when it comes to, for example, salvation, we'll get to that later, you know, your eternity is going to be screwed up. 23:43.600 --> 23:47.600 You know, so that's not like a little teepee, a teepee as part of your life. 23:47.600 --> 23:50.600 That's like a giant skyscraper that you're building your life in. 23:50.600 --> 23:55.600 Right. And so that foundation has to be sound. 23:55.600 --> 23:57.600 And go ahead and turn to Luke, chapter number six. 23:57.600 --> 24:00.600 I'm going to read for you First Corinthians three, verse number ten. 24:00.600 --> 24:10.600 It says, According to the grace of God, which is given unto me as a wise master builder, I've laid the foundation and another build it thereon. 24:10.600 --> 24:13.600 But let every man take heed how he build it thereon. 24:13.600 --> 24:20.600 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 24:20.600 --> 24:28.600 So the Bible here is telling us that, look, our foundation is built upon Jesus Christ. 24:28.600 --> 24:36.600 Amen. And of course, you know, you know, on to on top of that foundation, we're going to build all of our other doctrines. 24:36.600 --> 24:42.600 Right. But when we boil it down, you know, Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith. 24:42.600 --> 24:44.600 And what does the Bible say about Jesus Christ? 24:44.600 --> 24:48.600 Well, it says that he is the word and word was with God and the word was God. 24:48.600 --> 24:55.600 Right. So at the end of the day, the foundation that we're building our Christian life off of obviously is the Bible. 24:55.600 --> 25:00.600 And of course, you know, that's something that we've that we've preached, you know, six ways to Sunday. 25:00.600 --> 25:03.600 And so I'm not going to belabor that point too much. 25:03.600 --> 25:10.600 But we know that the foundation that we build upon is Jesus Christ, which would be the word of God. 25:10.600 --> 25:15.600 OK, which means we derive everything we believe about our religion from the Bible. 25:15.600 --> 25:24.600 You see, we don't we don't, you know, derive our doctrine, come up with it and then go searching the Bible to find out if there's different verses that will support our doctrine. 25:24.600 --> 25:28.600 But instead, we we go to the Bible to find out what our doctrine is. 25:28.600 --> 25:35.600 And then you can pull things from the world and pull things from logic or whatever to back up what the Bible already told us. 25:35.600 --> 25:39.600 You know, we're not working backwards the other way around. 25:39.600 --> 25:42.600 And so, you know, what what is a fundamentalist? 25:42.600 --> 25:46.600 Well, a fundamentalist is somebody that just actually believes what the Bible says. 25:46.600 --> 25:49.600 That's what a fundamentalist fundamentalist is. 25:49.600 --> 25:57.600 At the end of the day, it's somebody that just believes what the Bible says and somebody that believes what the Bible says is going to believe that salvation by the salvation is by grace of faith. 25:57.600 --> 26:02.600 And they're going to build their salvation on Jesus Christ instead of the shifting sands of their own works. 26:02.600 --> 26:06.600 OK, so I just you know, we'll get to that more here in just a minute. 26:06.600 --> 26:10.600 But if you're in Luke, chapter number six, look at verse number forty six. 26:10.600 --> 26:18.600 It says, And why call you me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say, for example, by like believing on him for salvation and nothing else. 26:18.600 --> 26:25.600 Right. Amen. It says, Whosoever cometh to me and hearth my sayings and do with them, I will show you to whom he is like. 26:25.600 --> 26:31.600 He's like a man which buildeth in house and diggeth deep and lay the foundation on a rock. 26:31.600 --> 26:40.600 And when the floods arose and the streams beat vehemently upon that house and could not shake it for it was founded upon a rock. 26:40.600 --> 26:52.600 But he that hearth and doeth not is like a man that without a foundation buildeth and house upon the earth against which the stream did beat vehemently. 26:52.600 --> 26:58.600 And immediately it fell and the ruin of that house was great. 26:58.600 --> 27:05.600 So Jesus here, he's laying out this parable of, you know, having two different people building on two different foundation. 27:05.600 --> 27:08.600 Basically, one guy builds his life. 27:08.600 --> 27:15.600 I would say on the Lord Jesus Christ, on the rock, on the solid rock, that solid foundations is not going to move. 27:15.600 --> 27:23.600 And his house remains standing through the storms, through the streams, through all the different problems. 27:23.600 --> 27:25.600 His house remains standing. 27:25.600 --> 27:29.600 And then, of course, the other guy, he builds his house just directly on the ground with no foundation at all. 27:29.600 --> 27:33.600 It's just, you know, basically dirt is his foundation. 27:33.600 --> 27:39.600 Right. So I'd be like building your, you know, somebody building, you know, their life basically on man's opinions. 27:39.600 --> 27:43.600 Right. Building their life on false doctrine, building their religious life. 27:43.600 --> 27:48.600 Their Christianity on false doctrine. 27:48.600 --> 27:53.600 You know, the storms and the winds are going to come and they're just going to destroy that house. 27:53.600 --> 28:03.600 Right. And so, you know, we need to make sure that our Christian life is built upon a solid foundation and solid doctrine. 28:03.600 --> 28:09.600 You know, because doctrine, you know, that's what is building our spiritual house. 28:09.600 --> 28:12.600 Right. Well, that's what's building our spiritual building. 28:12.600 --> 28:16.600 Is basically these different doctrines that we believe from the Bible. 28:16.600 --> 28:19.600 That's what our religious life is. 28:19.600 --> 28:23.600 And we need to build those doctrines based on what the Bible says. 28:23.600 --> 28:28.600 Amen. And that is what makes a fundamentalist a fundamentalist. 28:28.600 --> 28:32.600 Go ahead and turn to Hebrews chapter number six. 28:32.600 --> 28:41.600 And when we're going to we're going to get into some specific doctrines that we can look at to determine. 28:41.600 --> 28:44.600 OK, well, what what is what is fundamental doctrines? 28:44.600 --> 28:47.600 And we're going to get to that here in just a second. 28:47.600 --> 28:50.600 And in Hebrews chapter number six, look at verse number one. 28:50.600 --> 28:54.600 It says, Therefore, leaving the principalities of the doctrine of doctrine of Christ, 28:54.600 --> 29:01.600 the principalities of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection, not laying again 29:01.600 --> 29:08.560 the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of 29:08.560 --> 29:14.320 baptism and of laying on of hands and of the resurrection of the dead and of eternal judgment." 29:14.320 --> 29:19.720 So here in this verse it's saying, hey, we're going to leave these fundamental doctrines, 29:19.720 --> 29:20.720 right? 29:20.720 --> 29:22.600 They're going to move on to something else, right? 29:22.600 --> 29:29.520 But what I want to pull from these verses is what he gives the examples of these fundamental 29:29.520 --> 29:32.960 doctrines, these foundational doctrines, right? 29:32.960 --> 29:35.800 Because he lists off all of these doctrines. 29:35.800 --> 29:39.240 And I would say that the Bible is telling us, hey, look, these are fundamental doctrines. 29:39.240 --> 29:41.340 These are foundational doctrines, right? 29:41.340 --> 29:44.780 Because it says, hey, laying again the foundation, right? 29:44.780 --> 29:48.560 And we're going to just kind of go through these verses and take a look at some of these 29:48.560 --> 29:50.600 foundational doctrines. 29:50.800 --> 29:56.480 The first one is repentance from dead works, right? 29:56.480 --> 30:00.120 And of course, I think we all understand this pretty well. 30:00.120 --> 30:04.600 I'm not going to belabor any one of these, I don't think too much. 30:04.600 --> 30:05.960 Who knows? 30:05.960 --> 30:06.960 Maybe I will. 30:06.960 --> 30:09.120 But this first one is a pretty basic one. 30:09.120 --> 30:11.360 I think we all probably get this one pretty well. 30:11.360 --> 30:16.080 But of course, we know that salvation is not by works, right? 30:16.520 --> 30:20.700 So the Bible is saying here that there's something called repentance from dead works. 30:20.700 --> 30:21.700 And what is that? 30:21.700 --> 30:26.060 Well, that's basically somebody realizing, hey, my works don't get me to heaven. 30:26.060 --> 30:27.680 My works don't earn my way into heaven. 30:27.680 --> 30:32.780 I have to repent of thinking that they will get me into heaven and believe on the Lord 30:32.780 --> 30:34.880 Jesus Christ and receive the free gift of eternal life, right? 30:34.880 --> 30:37.840 And of course, we know Ephesians 2, 8, 9, it says, for by grace are you saved through 30:37.840 --> 30:43.180 faith and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should 30:43.180 --> 30:44.180 boast, right? 30:44.180 --> 30:46.740 So we have to turn from believing in those works to get us to heaven. 30:46.740 --> 30:52.140 We have to repent of that and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and what he did for us. 30:52.140 --> 30:53.740 Amen. 30:53.740 --> 30:58.260 And then there in Hebrews chapter number 6, it says, repentance from dead works and of 30:58.260 --> 31:00.460 faith toward God. 31:00.460 --> 31:01.700 Well, what is that? 31:01.700 --> 31:06.780 Well, in John 3, 36, it says, he that believeth on the Son, right? 31:06.780 --> 31:10.060 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not the Son shall 31:11.060 --> 31:14.260 of God abideth on him, right? 31:14.260 --> 31:16.340 So what is and of faith toward God? 31:16.340 --> 31:20.980 Well, that's putting your faith on the Lord Jesus Christ. 31:20.980 --> 31:22.180 Amen. 31:22.180 --> 31:27.380 And then there in Hebrews chapter number 6, again, it says, of the doctrine of baptism, 31:27.380 --> 31:28.380 right? 31:28.380 --> 31:31.780 And go ahead and turn to Romans chapter number 6. 31:31.780 --> 31:36.580 And so, you know, obviously, you know, the first kind of two examples there, they're 31:36.620 --> 31:40.020 kind of split up into two examples, you know, repentance from dead works and a faith toward 31:40.020 --> 31:41.020 God, right? 31:41.020 --> 31:43.780 That's basically that's your doctrine about salvation, right? 31:43.780 --> 31:48.340 You know, if you don't if you don't have that right, you just don't have anything right, 31:48.340 --> 31:49.340 right? 31:49.340 --> 31:53.980 That's that's a completely cracked and degraded and ruined foundation that you shouldn't be 31:53.980 --> 31:55.620 building anything on, right? 31:55.620 --> 32:00.420 You if that if that's somebody's foundation, obviously, they need to get a big old bulldozer, 32:00.420 --> 32:05.540 bulldoze that concrete out of there, you know, get a flat, nice flat plane, you know, maybe 32:05.700 --> 32:10.020 dig down some piles down into the dirt and then lay a new foundation actually get saved, 32:10.020 --> 32:11.020 right? 32:11.020 --> 32:14.540 And then they'll get the Holy Spirit and you know, the Holy Spirit will teach them all 32:14.540 --> 32:15.540 all things. 32:15.540 --> 32:16.540 Amen. 32:16.540 --> 32:21.660 And so, you know, without that foundation, you know, you're going nowhere, right? 32:21.660 --> 32:24.220 And so let's see here. 32:24.220 --> 32:25.220 Where was I going with that? 32:25.220 --> 32:27.420 So yeah, so basically, that's the doctrine of salvation. 32:27.420 --> 32:28.820 That's a foundational doctrine. 32:28.820 --> 32:29.880 That's kind of a basic one, right? 32:29.880 --> 32:33.160 But I think everybody in here understands that pretty well. 32:33.160 --> 32:36.280 So again, I don't want to belabor that point too much. 32:36.280 --> 32:38.840 And then the doctrine of baptism, right? 32:38.840 --> 32:44.160 This is this is another fundamental Baptist, what we are fundamental Baptist, right? 32:44.160 --> 32:47.000 This is another fundamental doctrine. 32:47.000 --> 32:52.640 And you know, this is one that there's a huge amount of so-called Christians out there that 32:52.640 --> 32:53.640 just get this wrong. 32:53.640 --> 32:55.680 And it's like, how do you get this wrong? 32:55.680 --> 32:59.360 There's a there's a huge amount of people that are that are basically baby sprinklers 32:59.360 --> 33:01.800 or baby baptizers. 33:02.240 --> 33:07.120 You know, it just completely conflicts with what the Bible says, right? 33:07.120 --> 33:09.640 Because it says in Romans chapter number six, verse number three, it says, Know ye 33:09.640 --> 33:16.520 not that that so many of us as we're baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death. 33:16.520 --> 33:23.220 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised 33:23.220 --> 33:29.480 up from the dead by the glory of the father, even so we also should walk in newness of 33:29.480 --> 33:30.560 life. 33:30.560 --> 33:34.920 And so, you know, obviously, and we preach this many times, the baptism is a picture 33:34.920 --> 33:37.740 of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 33:37.740 --> 33:41.840 And so sprinkling a baby just doesn't picture that. 33:41.840 --> 33:44.200 It doesn't make any sense. 33:44.200 --> 33:45.200 Right. 33:45.200 --> 33:48.800 And by the way, the Bible is telling us here in Hebrews number six, this is a foundational 33:48.800 --> 33:49.800 doctrine. 33:49.800 --> 33:51.360 This is a fundamental doctrine. 33:51.360 --> 33:53.360 Like this is a basic doctrine. 33:53.360 --> 33:58.360 And if you can't get this doctrine right, I don't trust you with any other scriptures 33:58.360 --> 33:59.360 at all. 34:00.160 --> 34:02.360 I don't trust you with any other doctrine, any other interpretation, nothing else. 34:02.360 --> 34:07.560 It's like if you can't get baptism right, you know, how can I, I mean, what else could 34:07.560 --> 34:09.240 you possibly be getting right? 34:09.240 --> 34:15.760 I mean, again, these are very basic doctrines and there's, you know, okay, I'll admit it's 34:15.760 --> 34:20.280 maybe not as strong as salvation by grace or faith, maybe not as strong as once saved, 34:20.280 --> 34:21.280 always saved. 34:21.280 --> 34:24.360 I think those are the strongest doctrines in the whole Bible. 34:24.360 --> 34:27.920 But there's a lot of verses on baptism, my friend. 34:27.920 --> 34:32.120 I mean, you see Jesus, he's being baptized in the Jordan River and he comes up straight 34:32.120 --> 34:33.920 way up out of the water. 34:33.920 --> 34:34.920 Right. 34:34.920 --> 34:35.920 He wasn't being sprinkled. 34:35.920 --> 34:43.000 You know, and, you know, they, when the Ethiopian unit comes, you know, they go down into the 34:43.000 --> 34:44.000 water. 34:44.000 --> 34:48.080 He doesn't like whip out a cup, you know, that he's, that he has of holy water carrying 34:48.080 --> 34:50.560 around with him and just flicks him in the eye with it. 34:50.560 --> 34:53.520 You know, he doesn't, he doesn't bring it out and just, just be there and like flicks 34:53.520 --> 34:54.520 him in the eye. 34:54.520 --> 34:56.920 It's like, ah, you know, that's not what happened. 34:57.520 --> 34:59.960 You know, he takes him down into the water. 34:59.960 --> 35:02.640 You know, he goes out like way out into the water. 35:02.640 --> 35:03.640 Right. 35:03.640 --> 35:04.640 And it's like shallow or something. 35:04.640 --> 35:07.720 He goes like way out into the middle of the river and then just like flicks it. 35:07.720 --> 35:09.120 Like what, what are we talking about here? 35:09.120 --> 35:11.760 No, this isn't, that's, that's insanity, my friend. 35:11.760 --> 35:17.280 He gets dunked underwater and then, you know, symbolizing the burial and then he's raised 35:17.280 --> 35:18.280 up. 35:18.280 --> 35:22.720 It's like, you know, again, you know, this is, this is a basic doctrine that we preach 35:22.720 --> 35:25.840 many times, so I don't want to belabor that point too much. 35:25.840 --> 35:30.800 But again, you know, these are things that, that this, this is what a fundamentalist believes 35:30.800 --> 35:31.800 because why? 35:31.800 --> 35:33.480 Because this is a foundational doctrine. 35:33.480 --> 35:37.600 Like you can't, you can't be running around saying, I believe the Bible when you're sprinkling 35:37.600 --> 35:38.960 babies. 35:38.960 --> 35:43.800 You're not a Bible believer, my friend, if you, if you believe that you're not a fundamentalist. 35:43.800 --> 35:50.120 You know, and obviously, you know, I believe that all Christians should be fundamentalists. 35:50.120 --> 35:53.280 You know, being a fundamentalist is not a bad thing. 35:53.520 --> 35:58.880 Being a fundamentalist is a good thing when it comes to the Bible, my friend, you know, 35:58.880 --> 36:05.880 because a lot of times, you know, this is something that will be used as like a disparaging 36:05.880 --> 36:12.440 remark, you know, and especially, you know, especially when oftentimes fundamentalists 36:12.440 --> 36:16.760 get a bad rap for stuff that's actually not in the Bible. 36:16.760 --> 36:21.480 Like a perfect example of this is, you know, people all the time now, they're like, well, 36:21.520 --> 36:26.480 you know, these bunch of Zionists, these are a bunch of new evangelical fundamentalists 36:26.480 --> 36:30.080 that think that, you know, when the Jews rebuild their temple, it's going to, it's going to 36:30.080 --> 36:32.680 bring Jesus in or whatever. 36:32.680 --> 36:37.320 And it's like, yeah, you know, they're, they're using fundamentalism as kind of a negative 36:37.320 --> 36:38.680 term in that. 36:38.680 --> 36:43.560 And it's really frustrating because it's like, you know, Zionism is not part of fundamentalism, 36:43.560 --> 36:44.560 my friend. 36:44.560 --> 36:48.000 Like those are not actually fundamental Christians that are believing that, you know, obviously, 36:48.000 --> 36:51.840 I know that they're, you know, the vast majority of fundamental Baptists believe in that, but 36:51.840 --> 36:55.200 that specific doctrine, that's not a fundamental doctrine. 36:55.200 --> 36:57.280 You know, that's a false doctrine. 36:57.280 --> 37:00.280 Okay, that that pushes you away from fundamentalism, right? 37:00.280 --> 37:05.120 I mean, that's like, it's like, if I'm, if I'm judging like a church or whatever, whether 37:05.120 --> 37:09.480 or not they're fundamental, that's a demarcation against them being fundamental. 37:09.480 --> 37:11.600 You know, maybe they're getting all this other stuff, right? 37:11.600 --> 37:14.760 Maybe they're riding the King James, maybe they're right on salvation, they're right 37:14.760 --> 37:16.080 on baptism and all this other stuff. 37:16.160 --> 37:19.120 I was like, okay, well, they've got these fundamental doctrines, but like they've got 37:19.120 --> 37:23.080 this other, they got this doctrine, this false, that's wrong. 37:23.080 --> 37:26.480 Like that, that's a reason for me to put them out of the fundamental camp. 37:26.480 --> 37:30.360 You know, now I don't believe it does put them out of the camp, right? 37:30.360 --> 37:32.320 But it's a problem, my friend. 37:32.320 --> 37:39.440 And so anyways, but being a fundamentalist, that is a good term, that is a positive term. 37:39.440 --> 37:42.920 But you know, again, people of this world, they try to put a negative connotation on that. 37:42.920 --> 37:46.440 You know, they'll be like, you know, oh, well, you know, it's these fundamentalist 37:46.440 --> 37:49.160 Islam people or whatever. 37:49.160 --> 37:51.200 But you know, that's a false religion. 37:51.200 --> 37:54.640 You know, it's like, who cares about what the fundamentals of a false religion are? 37:54.640 --> 37:59.000 You know, I'm sure the fundamental, the fundamentals of Hinduism include throwing cow poo at your 37:59.000 --> 38:00.000 buddy's face. 38:00.000 --> 38:03.800 Well, then yeah, I don't want to be, I don't want to have anything to do with the fundamentals 38:03.800 --> 38:07.520 of Hinduism, right? 38:07.520 --> 38:08.520 That's disgusting to me. 38:08.520 --> 38:11.120 I just want to be a fundamental Baptist. 38:11.120 --> 38:13.080 I want to be a fundamental Christian, right? 38:13.080 --> 38:17.680 And on a fundamental Christian, if somebody actually just believes the Bible, they read 38:17.680 --> 38:22.080 the Bible and they just believe the doctrines coming from that, they're going to end up 38:22.080 --> 38:25.200 becoming a fundamental Baptist, my friend. 38:25.200 --> 38:26.200 Okay. 38:26.200 --> 38:30.160 You know, and of course, you know, there's like, there's like different, there's different 38:30.160 --> 38:33.080 like, kind of like flavors of fundamental Baptist, right? 38:33.080 --> 38:37.760 You know, we're a very particular favor, flavor of fundamental Baptist, right? 38:37.760 --> 38:39.360 Which I think is the most pure. 38:39.360 --> 38:40.360 Okay. 38:40.360 --> 38:45.160 Like, you know, I believe that this is like the cream of the crop of fundamentalism right 38:45.160 --> 38:47.160 here in this room here. 38:47.160 --> 38:48.160 Why? 38:48.160 --> 38:54.320 Because you know what, we got rid of all the bad doctrine that's been associated with fundamentalism 38:54.320 --> 38:55.320 over the years. 38:55.320 --> 38:57.520 We're trying to get rid of that junk, right? 38:57.520 --> 39:02.240 And we're just sticking with exactly what the Bible says, you know, and the Bible says, 39:02.240 --> 39:06.200 you know, in Galatians chapter number three, it says, if you'd be Abraham's, if you'd be 39:06.840 --> 39:09.280 Christ, then are you Abraham's seen, my friend. 39:09.280 --> 39:14.480 So, you know, Zionism again, once again is out the window. 39:14.480 --> 39:16.920 But where was I when this? 39:16.920 --> 39:17.920 All right. 39:17.920 --> 39:22.040 So we're talking about, we're talking about baptism, we're talking about fundamental doctrines. 39:22.040 --> 39:23.400 Baptism is a fundamental doctrine, right? 39:23.400 --> 39:30.960 You know, if somebody's rejecting baptism by immersion, they're missing a fundamental 39:30.960 --> 39:33.840 doctrine according to Hebrews chapter number six here. 39:34.480 --> 39:41.480 And it says that of laying on of hands and first Timothy four verse number 14, it says, 39:41.480 --> 39:46.880 neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy with the laying 39:46.880 --> 39:51.080 on of excuse me, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 39:51.080 --> 39:56.200 Now, you know, the laying on of hands, you know, this is basically this is why we don't, 39:56.200 --> 40:00.000 you know, like if somebody just like self ordain themselves, we're like, hey, this guy's 40:00.000 --> 40:01.000 squirrely. 40:01.000 --> 40:02.000 This guy's weird. 40:02.000 --> 40:03.000 Like we don't support that. 40:03.160 --> 40:05.160 We don't see that as a legitimate church. 40:05.160 --> 40:06.160 Right. 40:06.160 --> 40:07.160 Why? 40:07.160 --> 40:10.080 Because, you know, Timothy here, he was ordained by somebody. 40:10.080 --> 40:14.280 He was ordained here by the presbytery and somebody laid hands on him and said, hey, 40:14.280 --> 40:18.160 you know, you're going to start a New Testament church. 40:18.160 --> 40:19.160 OK. 40:19.160 --> 40:24.200 And so, you know, there's there's a certain authority structure that we abide by, you 40:24.200 --> 40:26.200 know, as Christians here in the New Testament. 40:26.200 --> 40:29.360 You know, it's not just like a free for all or anybody can just kind of do whatever they 40:29.360 --> 40:30.360 want. 40:30.360 --> 40:32.320 You can just start a church whenever and wherever you want. 40:32.640 --> 40:34.560 So there's a system in place. 40:34.560 --> 40:36.760 There's the laying on of hands that has to happen. 40:36.760 --> 40:37.760 Right. 40:37.760 --> 40:38.960 For it to be, you know, a biblical church. 40:38.960 --> 40:44.040 And of course, what goes along with that is other, you know, biblical standards that a 40:44.040 --> 40:49.000 man would have to meet before somebody can lay hands on him and be sent out to start 40:49.000 --> 40:51.200 a church or to take over a church. 40:51.200 --> 40:52.200 Right. 40:52.200 --> 40:55.880 And so, you know, according to Hebrews six, this is this is this is a basic foundational 40:55.880 --> 40:58.080 doctrine. 40:58.840 --> 41:02.760 And the first one is as as the resurrection of the dead. 41:02.760 --> 41:03.760 Right. 41:03.760 --> 41:10.320 So according to the Bible here, the resurrection of the dead is a basic fundamental doctrine. 41:10.320 --> 41:16.240 And you know, there's there's a there's, you know, there's this growing idea out there 41:16.240 --> 41:18.440 that completely screws this up. 41:18.440 --> 41:19.440 Right. 41:19.440 --> 41:21.920 And, you know, what is what is the resurrection of the dead? 41:21.920 --> 41:27.200 Well, go ahead and turn to first Thessalonians chapter number four. 41:27.320 --> 41:42.240 And of course, you know, the first resurrection of the dead would obviously be Jesus Christ. 41:42.240 --> 41:43.960 You know, rising again from the dead. 41:43.960 --> 41:45.960 That would be definitely a fundamental doctrine. 41:45.960 --> 41:49.500 Like there's no Christianity without that, my friend. 41:49.500 --> 41:53.720 But beyond that, obviously, you know, this is not just referring to Jesus Christ rising 41:53.720 --> 41:56.860 from the dead, but this is talking about the resurrection. 41:57.020 --> 41:58.620 This is talking about the rapture. 41:58.620 --> 41:59.620 Right. 41:59.620 --> 42:02.060 And it says here in first Thessalonians chapter number four, look at verse number 13. 42:02.060 --> 42:06.860 It says, but I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, 42:06.860 --> 42:11.540 that you sorrow not even as others which have no hope. 42:11.540 --> 42:17.480 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus 42:17.480 --> 42:20.140 will God bring with him. 42:20.140 --> 42:26.100 For this we say unto you by the world, by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive 42:26.180 --> 42:30.620 and remain under the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 42:30.620 --> 42:35.700 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel 42:35.700 --> 42:37.860 and with the trumpet of God. 42:37.860 --> 42:41.700 And the dead in Christ shall rise first. 42:41.700 --> 42:46.540 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds 42:46.540 --> 42:50.620 to meet, excuse me, to meet the Lord in the air. 42:50.620 --> 42:54.100 And so shall we ever be with the Lord. 42:54.100 --> 42:58.580 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 42:58.580 --> 43:04.980 Now obviously at this church we believe in the post-trib, pre-wrath rapture. 43:04.980 --> 43:08.980 We do not believe in the mid-trib rapture because we do not subscribe to the stupid 43:08.980 --> 43:11.660 idea that there's seven years of tribulation. 43:11.660 --> 43:13.500 It's never said in the Bible anywhere. 43:13.500 --> 43:17.740 We believe in the post-trib, pre-wrath rapture. 43:17.740 --> 43:23.420 But fundamentally though, we believe in a coming resurrection. 43:23.420 --> 43:25.980 We believe in a coming rapture. 43:25.980 --> 43:26.980 Okay? 43:26.980 --> 43:30.820 Now there's this belief out there called post-millennialism. 43:30.820 --> 43:35.660 And I believe also the all-millennialists, they probably have the exact same view. 43:35.660 --> 43:38.980 But this is what I know that the post-millennialists believe. 43:38.980 --> 43:41.860 They basically don't really believe in the rapture. 43:41.860 --> 43:44.900 I mean they say that they do. 43:44.900 --> 43:48.620 But when you find out what they actually believe about it, it's like, ah, that's not really 43:48.620 --> 43:50.340 the rapture now. 43:50.340 --> 43:53.180 Because okay, so here's what they believe about it though. 43:53.500 --> 43:55.500 We just read what the rapture is. 43:55.500 --> 44:00.100 It's basically, you know, the dead in Christ shall rise, right? 44:00.100 --> 44:04.060 And then the rest of us, which are alive and remain under the coming of the Lord, shall 44:04.060 --> 44:09.100 be caught up with him up in the clouds. 44:09.100 --> 44:10.100 Right? 44:10.100 --> 44:12.300 And the Bible does tell us when this happens. 44:12.300 --> 44:17.100 It tells us when it happens in Matthew chapter number 24, right? 44:17.100 --> 44:20.780 You know, it says after the tribulation of those days that, you know, the angels are 44:20.780 --> 44:25.460 going to be sent into the four winds to gather up the elect from the four winds of the earth. 44:25.460 --> 44:26.460 Right? 44:26.460 --> 44:32.460 And then if you read in Revelation 6 and 7, it's like all of a sudden there's this great 44:32.460 --> 44:34.700 multitude in heaven. 44:34.700 --> 44:37.740 You know, so we know where they go. 44:37.740 --> 44:39.900 When they're raptured, we know where God takes them. 44:39.900 --> 44:42.820 Takes them to heaven, right? 44:42.820 --> 44:44.500 But this is what the post-millennialists believe. 44:44.500 --> 44:47.740 They believe that because they, you know, they don't believe in the coming millennia 44:47.740 --> 44:51.940 reign of Christ, you know, which is just retarded. 44:51.940 --> 44:52.940 Right? 44:52.940 --> 44:55.460 But so they don't believe in the coming millennia reign of Christ. 44:55.460 --> 44:58.460 They think that like that already happened. 44:58.460 --> 45:03.500 You know, they think that when 70 A.D. happened, that was the entire book of Revelation that 45:03.500 --> 45:05.060 just played out already. 45:05.060 --> 45:07.300 It's like, what? 45:07.300 --> 45:08.460 You're insane. 45:08.460 --> 45:13.660 But so they think that we're not, you know, either, you know, the millennial reign basically 45:14.660 --> 45:18.940 And we're just like waiting for Christ to return and establish his kingdom upon this 45:18.940 --> 45:20.380 earth. 45:20.380 --> 45:22.620 And then once that happens, that's the end of everything. 45:22.620 --> 45:23.620 Right? 45:23.620 --> 45:28.500 And so they say, well, you know, because this is kind of a fly in the ointment for them. 45:28.500 --> 45:30.700 It's like, well, what about the rapture? 45:30.700 --> 45:33.860 I mean, it's kind of clearly laid out here in 1 Thessalonians 4. 45:33.860 --> 45:38.860 Like, I mean, we know you don't want there to be a rapture, but it's there. 45:38.860 --> 45:40.220 So they have to deal with these verses. 45:40.220 --> 45:41.220 Right? 45:41.660 --> 45:46.420 And they're like, well, you see, what happens is, is it's just like it's just like the parable 45:46.420 --> 45:52.540 of the ten virgins, because, you know, the virgins are like waiting outside of the house 45:52.540 --> 45:56.260 and then the bridegroom comes and then they go inside. 45:56.260 --> 45:58.260 That's the rapture. 45:58.260 --> 46:01.900 Because when Jesus comes, he's going to come down. 46:01.900 --> 46:04.900 We're going to like go up a little bit. 46:04.900 --> 46:05.900 We're going to say hi. 46:05.900 --> 46:07.900 And then we're going to come back down. 46:08.580 --> 46:10.580 It's like, what? 46:10.580 --> 46:13.580 That's not the rapture. 46:13.580 --> 46:14.580 They're like, oh, yeah, yeah, no, no, no. 46:14.580 --> 46:15.580 He's going to come down. 46:15.580 --> 46:17.580 He's going to descend into the clouds. 46:17.580 --> 46:19.980 And then like all the dead in Christ are going to rise. 46:19.980 --> 46:22.180 They're going to go up and they're going to meet him in the clouds. 46:22.180 --> 46:25.780 And then all the all they which are remained, they're going to go up. 46:25.780 --> 46:26.980 They're going to like float up. 46:26.980 --> 46:28.980 They're going to meet him in the clouds. 46:28.980 --> 46:30.980 You know, and then they're just going to go back down. 46:30.980 --> 46:32.980 It's like, what? 46:32.980 --> 46:34.580 What is this? 46:34.660 --> 46:38.660 But let me tell you, my friend, this is becoming more and more popular. 46:38.660 --> 46:41.660 You got a bunch of guys running around these post-millennialists. 46:41.660 --> 46:44.660 And let me tell you one thing. 46:44.660 --> 46:51.660 You know, if you find a post-millennialist, I'll find you somebody that does not believe in the King James Bible. 46:51.660 --> 46:54.660 You know, these guys running around like Doug Wilson. 46:54.660 --> 46:57.660 These guys are not King James only. 46:57.660 --> 46:58.660 And you know why? 46:58.660 --> 47:03.660 Because one of their major things, and I've covered this before when I talk about post-millennialism, 47:03.740 --> 47:08.740 but one of the one of the major things, this is like this is like the key. 47:08.740 --> 47:15.740 This is like the foundation of post-millennialism is in Matthew chapter number 24, you know, 47:15.740 --> 47:23.740 which is like one of the big it's probably like the prophecy chapter, you know, in the Gospels. 47:23.740 --> 47:24.740 Right. 47:24.740 --> 47:26.740 This is like the prophecy chapter. 47:26.740 --> 47:27.740 OK. 47:27.820 --> 47:34.820 In the new version of the Bible, when the disciples, they come and ask, you know, they said, 47:34.820 --> 47:37.820 he sat upon the Mount of Olives and disciples came to him, privately saying, 47:37.820 --> 47:43.820 tell us what shall these things be and what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world. 47:43.820 --> 47:44.820 Right. 47:44.820 --> 47:46.820 That's what the actual Bible says is the end of the world. 47:46.820 --> 47:53.820 Well, they hang their entire doctrine on that not being world and instead being age. 47:53.820 --> 47:54.820 Right. 47:54.900 --> 48:00.900 So that's why you're pretty much never going to find a post-millennialist that's King James only 48:00.900 --> 48:09.900 because you can't be King James only and be a post-millennialist at the same time because that just blows up your entire eschatology. 48:09.900 --> 48:16.900 Your entire, and times, and times, ah, your entire eschatology is just blown away. 48:16.900 --> 48:17.900 Right. 48:17.900 --> 48:20.900 Because they asked when was the end of the world? 48:20.900 --> 48:23.900 And it's like, OK, has the end of the world happened? 48:23.980 --> 48:27.980 No, let me, let me check outside real quick. 48:27.980 --> 48:30.980 You know, I know it's windy, but, you know, still there. 48:30.980 --> 48:31.980 Right. 48:31.980 --> 48:34.980 The end of the world hasn't happened yet, my friend. 48:34.980 --> 48:38.980 So it kind of destroys their entire doctrine. 48:38.980 --> 48:39.980 Right. 48:39.980 --> 48:50.980 You know, and so, but, but this, but this is, this is a fundamental doctrine, though, is, hey, Jesus Christ is going to return and there's going to be a rapture. 48:50.980 --> 48:51.980 OK. 48:52.060 --> 48:57.060 You know, the second coming of Christ is, is, is, you know, it's going to happen. 48:57.060 --> 48:58.060 OK. 48:58.060 --> 49:06.060 Now, of course, you know, we differ from the vast majority of our fundamental brethren on the fact that we actually know when the timing is. 49:06.060 --> 49:07.060 OK. 49:07.060 --> 49:08.060 We don't screw up the timing like they do. 49:08.060 --> 49:21.060 And, you know, whenever, whenever you listen, if ever you listen to a post-millennialist talk about, you know, talk about these things, you know, they'll always generalize, you know, pre-millennialists. 49:21.140 --> 49:28.140 With dispensationalist and pre-tribbers, right, which is obviously annoying because that's, you know, that's, that's not what we believe. 49:28.140 --> 49:32.140 You know, we don't believe in a secret rapture that's nowhere in the Bible. 49:32.140 --> 49:35.140 You know, the Bible says here there's going to be a trumpet. 49:35.140 --> 49:37.140 You know, that's not very secret when you're sounding a trumpet. 49:37.140 --> 49:38.140 Right. 49:38.140 --> 49:42.140 And, you know, he's going to descend and the angels are going to go out into the four winds of the whole world. 49:42.140 --> 49:44.140 So it's going to be like a big major event. 49:44.140 --> 49:50.140 And there's other places in the Bible where it says it will be like lightning going from all the way from the east to the west. 49:50.220 --> 49:51.220 Right. 49:51.220 --> 49:52.220 Nobody's going to miss it. 49:52.220 --> 49:55.220 It's going to be a big, big deal. 49:55.220 --> 50:01.220 But the post-millennialists, I mean, they say that they believe in a rapture. 50:01.220 --> 50:11.220 But, you know, until until I was studying for the sermon, I actually didn't really know what post-millennialists post-millennialists believed about the rapture. 50:11.220 --> 50:17.220 Because, you know, they never talk about it because what they say is just is probably because it's so silly. 50:17.220 --> 50:18.220 They don't like talking about it. 50:18.220 --> 50:19.220 Right. 50:19.300 --> 50:21.300 They'd rather talk about, you know, something else. 50:21.300 --> 50:26.300 They'd rather talk about, you know, their new Bible versions in Matthew 24, where it says age instead of world. 50:26.300 --> 50:27.300 Right. 50:27.300 --> 50:30.300 And, you know, they'd rather talk about, you know, well, which generation is it? 50:30.300 --> 50:34.300 Because it says this generation, you know, in Matthew chapter number 24. 50:34.300 --> 50:40.300 And, you know, instead of realizing that their whole doctrine is dumb because the actual Bible says the end of the world. 50:40.300 --> 50:41.300 Right. 50:41.300 --> 50:48.300 And so at the end of the day, though, you know, this is this is this is a fundamental doctrine is the fact that we're going to be we're going to be raised. 50:48.380 --> 50:49.380 Again. 50:49.380 --> 50:54.380 OK, we're going to be we're not going to be you know, our bodies are not going to be dead in the ground forever. 50:54.380 --> 50:56.380 Our bodies are going to be resurrected. 50:56.380 --> 50:59.380 OK, and we're going to be made new. 50:59.380 --> 51:01.380 And we actually know when it's going to happen. 51:01.380 --> 51:09.380 Now, you know, if somebody doesn't get the timing of the rapture right, it's not it's like, OK, well, you know, you can still be a fundamentalist, I guess, if you screw up the timing. 51:09.380 --> 51:12.380 But it is weird, though, when the Bible is pretty clear about it. 51:12.380 --> 51:14.380 It's like not that ambiguous. 51:14.460 --> 51:17.460 There's actually pretty clear scriptures on when the rapture happens. 51:17.460 --> 51:21.460 OK, and the Bible here is telling us that it is a fundamental doctrine. 51:21.460 --> 51:27.460 But, you know, obviously, the important part of the fundamental doctrine is that Jesus is going to return and our bodies are going to be made new. 51:27.460 --> 51:28.460 We're going to be resurrected. 51:28.460 --> 51:31.460 That's kind of the important part about this doctrine. 51:31.460 --> 51:32.460 Right. 51:32.460 --> 51:33.460 And let's see here. 51:33.460 --> 51:38.460 So the resurrection that and this the next one is and of eternal judgment. 51:38.460 --> 51:39.460 Right. 51:39.460 --> 51:43.460 And the Bible says in Hebrews 927, it says, and after the resurrection, the resurrection is dead. 51:43.540 --> 51:46.540 And as it is appointed and a man wants to die. 51:46.540 --> 51:49.540 But after this, the judgment. 51:49.540 --> 51:52.540 And so, you know, this is a fundamental doctrine. 51:52.540 --> 51:55.540 I mean, and this this will be a fundamental doctrine for getting saved. 51:55.540 --> 51:56.540 Right. 51:56.540 --> 52:01.540 Because obviously, you know, there's a there's a judgment that we don't want to be partakers of. 52:01.540 --> 52:02.540 Right. 52:02.540 --> 52:04.540 And that's what we're being saved from. 52:04.540 --> 52:08.540 You know, we're being saved from being in front of the great white throne judgment. 52:08.540 --> 52:09.540 Right. 52:09.620 --> 52:16.620 Because when the great white throne judgment comes, those of us that are saved are not going to be judged out of the things which are written in the books. 52:16.620 --> 52:17.620 Right. 52:17.620 --> 52:18.620 We're not going to be part of that judgment. 52:18.620 --> 52:19.620 We're going to be there watching. 52:19.620 --> 52:23.620 But we are not going to be judged by those things which are are written in the books. 52:23.620 --> 52:28.620 And then, of course, you know, what happens to the people that are judged out of those things which are written in the books? 52:28.620 --> 52:29.620 Well, the Bible is very clear. 52:29.620 --> 52:32.620 It says they're cast into the lake of fire and death and hell were cast in the lake of fire. 52:32.620 --> 52:33.620 This is the second death. 52:33.700 --> 52:38.700 And whosoever is not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 52:38.700 --> 52:43.700 I mean, how about I mean, what what's the fundamental doctrine of Christianity? 52:43.700 --> 52:44.700 How about hell? 52:50.700 --> 52:53.700 You know, hell is a fundamental doctrine to Christianity. 52:53.700 --> 53:00.700 And these people running around screwing up hell as a doctrine, they are not fundamentalists. 53:00.780 --> 53:03.780 And I believe that probably 90 percent of them are not saved. 53:03.780 --> 53:04.780 Right. 53:04.780 --> 53:09.780 I mean, maybe somebody could get confused and somebody could brainwash them about hell or whatever. 53:09.780 --> 53:17.780 But let me tell you, my friend, all these different sects of Christianity, of so-called Christianity that are screwing up hell, they're not saved, my friend. 53:17.780 --> 53:24.780 And, you know, when these people are running around, you know, messing with the doctrine of hell and saying, well, it's not eternal. 53:24.780 --> 53:25.780 You just kind of burn up. 53:25.780 --> 53:26.780 You know what? 53:26.780 --> 53:29.780 You know what's so sick and disgusting about that? 53:29.860 --> 53:34.860 That lessens the sacrifice and the value of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. 53:34.860 --> 53:35.860 Right. 53:35.860 --> 53:42.860 Because what you and me deserved for our sin was to be eternally damned to hell. 53:42.860 --> 53:43.860 Right. 53:43.860 --> 53:52.860 Like the Bible says, where it says, where the worm dith not and the fire is not quenched, where the Bible says the smoke of their torment arises up forever and ever. 53:52.860 --> 53:54.860 And there is no rest day or night. 53:54.860 --> 53:57.860 I mean, this is what the Bible says, my friends. 53:57.940 --> 53:59.940 And it says that's what we deserved. 53:59.940 --> 54:02.940 But Jesus took that punishment for us. 54:02.940 --> 54:07.940 But then people want to come along and then reduce the punishment and say, well, it's not that at all. 54:07.940 --> 54:15.940 I mean, basically, if you go from eternal punishment in hell to being burned up, that's basically you may as well make the punishment zero. 54:15.940 --> 54:16.940 Right. 54:16.940 --> 54:17.940 Yeah. 54:17.940 --> 54:24.940 Because, I mean, if you compare infinity to something that's temporary, at the end of the day, it's an infinite difference. 54:24.940 --> 54:25.940 Yeah. 54:25.940 --> 54:26.940 It's good. 54:27.020 --> 54:32.020 So in their minds, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is infinitely less valuable. 54:32.020 --> 54:36.020 So it's like an infinite slap in the face to Jesus Christ. 54:38.020 --> 54:40.020 Tampering with hell is a wicked doctrine. 54:40.020 --> 54:43.020 It's a fundamental doctrine to the Christian faith. 54:43.020 --> 54:52.020 Somebody is just rejecting the fact that hell is an eternal punishment where somebody goes after they die to be punished for their sins. 54:52.020 --> 54:56.020 I would say they just don't believe the Bible and they may as well just not be a Christian at all. 54:56.100 --> 54:58.100 Because you're getting that from somewhere else. 54:58.100 --> 55:00.100 That's not what the Bible said. 55:00.100 --> 55:03.100 And if somebody says, well, you know, I believe in hell. 55:03.100 --> 55:05.100 I just think it's temporary. 55:05.100 --> 55:07.100 You just don't understand what hell is supposed to be. 55:07.100 --> 55:10.100 You just don't believe in hell at all. 55:10.100 --> 55:11.100 Right. 55:11.100 --> 55:14.100 And so, you know, it's the eternal judgment. 55:14.100 --> 55:15.100 Right. 55:15.100 --> 55:17.100 It's not a temporary judgment. 55:17.100 --> 55:20.100 It's not something that just happens temporarily and then it's over. 55:20.100 --> 55:22.100 You know, it's not probation or whatever. 55:22.100 --> 55:25.100 It's eternal judgment, my friend. 55:25.180 --> 55:28.180 You know, and so this is a fundamental of the faith. 55:28.180 --> 55:34.180 And so, you know, these Seventh-day Adventists, you know, all these different Christian groups that what are they? 55:34.180 --> 55:36.180 Jehovah's Witnesses. 55:36.180 --> 55:41.180 You know, I don't know what the Mormons believe about, you know, and who cares what the Mormons believe anyway. 55:41.180 --> 55:42.180 Right. 55:42.180 --> 55:45.180 But, you know, they're not Christians. 55:45.180 --> 55:47.180 That's a cult. 55:47.180 --> 55:48.180 Right. 55:48.260 --> 55:49.260 Right. 55:49.260 --> 55:59.260 Any Christian group that's running around teaching that hell is temporary, that hell basically that's just saying that hell doesn't exist is a cult. 55:59.260 --> 56:00.260 OK. 56:00.260 --> 56:02.260 It's a false, wicked cult. 56:02.260 --> 56:05.260 And they're not part of Christianity. 56:05.260 --> 56:06.260 Let's see here. 56:06.260 --> 56:11.260 Go ahead and turn to Matthew chapter number 28. 56:11.260 --> 56:12.260 Matthew chapter number 28. 56:12.260 --> 56:14.260 So what are we talking about? 56:14.260 --> 56:16.260 We're talking about what is a fundamentalist. 56:16.260 --> 56:17.260 Right. 56:17.340 --> 56:18.340 What's a fundamentalist? 56:18.340 --> 56:21.340 Again, a fundamentalist is just somebody that believes what the Bible says. 56:21.340 --> 56:22.340 Right. 56:22.340 --> 56:27.340 So a fundamentalist comes to the Bible verse where it says, hey, the smoke of their torment arises up forever and ever. 56:27.340 --> 56:29.340 And there's no rest day or night. 56:29.340 --> 56:32.340 They're like, oh, well, I guess it's forever. 56:32.340 --> 56:41.340 You know, there's somebody that comes to a verse in the Bible where it says, you know, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 56:41.340 --> 56:46.340 They say, oh, well, I guess if you ask Jesus to save you, then he does. 56:46.420 --> 56:48.420 You know, imagine that. 56:48.420 --> 56:49.420 Right. 56:49.420 --> 57:00.420 Somebody that they come along a verse in the Bible where it says, hey, we're going to be caught up together with him and with the Lord, you know, and we shall ever be with the Lord. 57:00.420 --> 57:07.420 They're like, OK, well, I guess Jesus, he's going to return someday to, you know, gather his children to to to rapture the children. 57:07.420 --> 57:08.420 Right. 57:08.420 --> 57:10.420 It's somebody that they just believe the Bible. 57:10.420 --> 57:11.420 Right. 57:11.500 --> 57:20.500 You know, what about what about what about, you know, you know, me and Ryan were talking about this earlier, you know, so I don't want to ruin his sermon. 57:20.500 --> 57:23.500 Well, what about what about the Ministry of Reconciliation? 57:23.500 --> 57:25.500 You know, we're here in Matthew, chapter number 28. 57:25.500 --> 57:28.500 This is a pretty fundamental doctrine to Christianity, my friend. 57:28.500 --> 57:33.500 This isn't necessarily one of the ones that's listed, you know, in Hebrews, chapter number six. 57:33.500 --> 57:38.500 But look, Hebrews, chapter number six is not an exhaustive list of all the fundamental doctrines of the Bible. 57:38.500 --> 57:39.500 Right. 57:39.580 --> 57:42.580 And it's not all the fundamental doctrines of Christianity because this is a big one, my friend. 57:42.580 --> 57:53.580 And in Matthew, chapter number 28, verse number 19 says, Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I've commanded you. 57:53.580 --> 57:56.580 And lo, I am with you always, even on the end of the world. 57:56.580 --> 57:57.580 Amen. 57:57.580 --> 58:01.580 Notice there, it says the end of the world, not end of the age. 58:01.580 --> 58:02.580 Right. 58:02.660 --> 58:09.660 But, you know, the Great Commission is a fundamental doctrine, is it not? 58:09.660 --> 58:14.660 I mean, this is the last thing that Jesus Christ told to the disciples before he went up into heaven. 58:14.660 --> 58:16.660 So this is a fundamental doctrine. 58:16.660 --> 58:20.660 And so, you know, and what is the Great Commission? 58:20.660 --> 58:23.660 Well, obviously, you know, we've talked about this many times. 58:23.660 --> 58:30.660 It's preaching the gospel, basically getting people saved, getting them baptized, and then teaching them Bible doctrine. 58:30.740 --> 58:35.740 OK, that's the threefold ministry of the Great Commission. 58:35.740 --> 58:43.740 But, you know, we covered baptism already, you know, and I'm currently doing the Bible teaching right now, so we're not going to, you know, we're doing that, right? 58:43.740 --> 58:46.740 So but I want to talk about that first part for a second. 58:46.740 --> 58:52.740 You know, going out and preaching gospel, getting people saved is a fundamental part of Christianity. 58:52.740 --> 58:57.740 Jesus said, If you be followers of me, I will make you fishers of men. 58:57.820 --> 59:00.820 He didn't say some of you will make fishers of men. 59:00.820 --> 59:03.820 He didn't say, well, the ones that have the special talent for it, I'll make fishers of men. 59:03.820 --> 59:07.820 He said, No, if you follow me, you will become a fisher of man. 59:07.820 --> 59:13.820 OK, it's not optional to be an actual follower of Jesus Christ. 59:13.820 --> 59:19.820 OK, to be a follower of Jesus Christ, you know, hey, what did he say in Luke chapter six? 59:19.820 --> 59:22.820 And why call you me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 59:22.900 --> 59:29.900 That the last commandment that Jesus gave us is, hey, go, you know, go preach the gospel to every creature, right? 59:29.900 --> 59:35.900 And, you know, as as a fundamental Baptist, you know, I want to do that correctly. 59:35.900 --> 59:37.900 I want to do that the right way. 59:37.900 --> 59:44.900 You know, what I want to do as a fundamental Baptist is I want to make it as easy as possible for people to get saved. 59:44.900 --> 59:47.900 I'm not interested in making it hard. 59:47.980 --> 59:56.980 OK, now a lot of fundamental Baptists have had some issues and have some problems with getting people saved. 59:56.980 --> 01:00:04.980 OK, they want to spiritualize everything and they want to cast stumbling blocks and stones in front of people for them to get saved. 01:00:04.980 --> 01:00:07.980 They're trying to make it more difficult than it actually is. 01:00:07.980 --> 01:00:12.980 You know, and I believe that this church, we do a good job of making it easy for people to get saved. 01:00:12.980 --> 01:00:15.980 But, you know, you know, and how do we do that? 01:00:16.060 --> 01:00:21.060 Well, obviously, you know, we do what's called confrontational soul winning, where we confront people with the gospel. 01:00:21.060 --> 01:00:24.060 We straight up ask them, hey, do you know that you're going to heaven when you die? 01:00:24.060 --> 01:00:25.060 Right? 01:00:25.060 --> 01:00:28.060 And if so, why do you think that? 01:00:28.060 --> 01:00:30.060 And if not, can I show you? 01:00:30.060 --> 01:00:31.060 Right? 01:00:31.060 --> 01:00:34.060 Because the Bible tells us how we can know to go to heaven. 01:00:34.060 --> 01:00:37.060 The Bible gives us all kinds of different scriptures on how we can know that we're on our way to heaven. 01:00:37.060 --> 01:00:38.060 Amen? 01:00:38.060 --> 01:00:39.060 And so we just show them. 01:00:39.060 --> 01:00:41.060 We show them how they can know, right? 01:00:41.060 --> 01:00:43.060 We show them, hey, look, you're a sinner. 01:00:43.060 --> 01:00:44.060 Look, you deserve hell. 01:00:44.140 --> 01:00:47.140 Look, Jesus Christ paid for all of your sins. 01:00:47.140 --> 01:00:50.140 Look, salvation is a free gift and all you have to do is put your faith in him. 01:00:50.140 --> 01:00:52.140 In order to get it. 01:00:52.140 --> 01:00:53.140 What are we doing? 01:00:53.140 --> 01:00:55.140 We're trying to make it easy for people to get saved. 01:00:55.140 --> 01:00:59.140 We're trying to break it down, make it make it easy for them to understand. 01:00:59.140 --> 01:01:01.140 You know what we don't do? 01:01:01.140 --> 01:01:03.140 We don't have them go to church for three years. 01:01:03.140 --> 01:01:08.140 And then when they asked to get saved, hand them a tract and say, read that and get yourself saved. 01:01:08.140 --> 01:01:09.140 What is that? 01:01:09.140 --> 01:01:12.140 You know, that's a problem in the fundamental Baptist movement. 01:01:12.220 --> 01:01:18.220 You know, if somebody has skin cancer, and I'm the, if I'm the doctor and somebody comes in with skin cancer, 01:01:18.220 --> 01:01:22.220 I'm not going to hand them directions on how to perform skin cancer surgery. 01:01:22.220 --> 01:01:24.220 And I say, here's some scalpels. 01:01:24.220 --> 01:01:27.220 Why don't you do perform surgery on yourself? 01:01:27.220 --> 01:01:28.220 Why don't you get rid of your cancer? 01:01:28.220 --> 01:01:30.220 No, they need help. 01:01:30.220 --> 01:01:32.220 They don't know how to get saved. 01:01:32.220 --> 01:01:34.220 They need somebody to show them how to get saved. 01:01:34.220 --> 01:01:37.220 That's what the Great Commission is. 01:01:37.220 --> 01:01:40.220 It's showing people how to be saved because they don't know how. 01:01:40.300 --> 01:01:43.300 And giving somebody an instruction manual just, hey, read this. 01:01:43.300 --> 01:01:44.300 You know what the Bible says? 01:01:44.300 --> 01:01:47.300 The Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. 01:01:47.300 --> 01:01:51.300 The Bible never says anywhere that people are going to read the Bible and get themselves saved. 01:01:51.300 --> 01:01:53.300 That's false doctrine, my friend. 01:01:53.300 --> 01:01:54.300 It's not true. 01:01:54.300 --> 01:01:55.300 That's not right. 01:01:55.300 --> 01:01:57.300 We need to help people get saved. 01:01:57.300 --> 01:02:02.300 OK, and, you know, I'm, you know, again, this is not what we do here. 01:02:02.300 --> 01:02:05.300 Nobody here is doing this, but I just get fired up when I hear about stuff like this. 01:02:05.300 --> 01:02:07.300 It makes me mad. 01:02:07.380 --> 01:02:10.380 And you know what else we do to help people get saved? 01:02:10.380 --> 01:02:12.380 We help them pray. 01:02:12.380 --> 01:02:14.380 We don't force people to make up their own prayer. 01:02:14.380 --> 01:02:15.380 Why? 01:02:15.380 --> 01:02:17.380 Because they've never prayed before. 01:02:17.380 --> 01:02:20.380 This is the first time they're actually calling upon the name of the Lord. 01:02:20.380 --> 01:02:22.380 They've never talked to God before. 01:02:22.380 --> 01:02:23.380 They don't know. 01:02:23.380 --> 01:02:24.380 How are they going to know what to do? 01:02:24.380 --> 01:02:26.380 How are they going to know what to say? 01:02:26.380 --> 01:02:29.380 This is what we're removing the stumbling blocks. 01:02:29.380 --> 01:02:31.380 We're making it easy. 01:02:31.380 --> 01:02:34.380 We're like we're trying to straighten the path, right? 01:02:34.380 --> 01:02:36.380 We're trying to straighten the path. 01:02:36.460 --> 01:02:38.460 I mean, there's limbs and stuff. 01:02:38.460 --> 01:02:40.460 We're trying to cut down the limbs in the trail. 01:02:40.460 --> 01:02:42.460 We're trying to pave it. 01:02:42.460 --> 01:02:44.460 We're making it easy, right? 01:02:44.460 --> 01:02:54.460 That's the job of an ambassador for Christ, is to go out, make the gospel clear, and help them believe in Jesus. 01:02:54.460 --> 01:02:55.460 Right? 01:02:55.460 --> 01:02:56.460 That's our job. 01:02:56.460 --> 01:03:01.460 You know, and, you know, a lot of the old IFB has a problem with this. 01:03:01.460 --> 01:03:04.460 A lot of them have an issue with this, where they want to over-spirit. 01:03:04.540 --> 01:03:07.540 Like they think they're more spiritual because they don't force people to pray. 01:03:07.540 --> 01:03:10.540 So you're just making it hard for them. 01:03:10.540 --> 01:03:12.540 That's all that is. 01:03:12.540 --> 01:03:14.540 You know, and you know what it is? 01:03:14.540 --> 01:03:17.540 It's people that don't want to help people get saved. 01:03:17.540 --> 01:03:19.540 They don't want to go soul winning. 01:03:19.540 --> 01:03:26.540 You know, for whatever reason, they don't want to preach the gospel, so they come up with, well, you know, it's just more spiritual if they force them to make their own prayer. 01:03:26.540 --> 01:03:29.540 You know, and just handing tracks to people. 01:03:29.540 --> 01:03:30.540 But here's the thing. 01:03:30.620 --> 01:03:33.620 You know, people grow up in an environment where they're doing that. 01:03:33.620 --> 01:03:34.620 Right? 01:03:34.620 --> 01:03:46.620 And so, I mean, if you go to a church your whole life where it's like, well, just hand somebody a track and hope they get saved by themselves, you know, you're probably going to end up doing something like that too. 01:03:46.620 --> 01:03:49.620 So it's a problem with the leadership of the old IFB. 01:03:49.620 --> 01:03:59.620 You know, instead of sticking by the old paths, you know, because this used to be like the bread and butter of the old IFB. 01:03:59.700 --> 01:04:04.700 I mean, a major thing that Jack Howell preached all the time is soul winning. 01:04:04.700 --> 01:04:09.700 You know, that was one of his most famous sermons. 01:04:09.700 --> 01:04:13.700 You know, it was the four, how did it go? 01:04:13.700 --> 01:04:15.700 The four calls for soul winning, right? 01:04:15.700 --> 01:04:22.700 You know, and he'd get up there and he's rocking the thing back and forth, pulpit or whatever, and you know, he's making a big deal out of it. 01:04:22.700 --> 01:04:23.700 Why? 01:04:23.700 --> 01:04:25.700 Because that's what the fundamentalist movement was built on. 01:04:25.700 --> 01:04:27.700 The soul winning, my friend. 01:04:27.780 --> 01:04:32.780 And you know what, Jack Howells, he preached a good soul winning message, my friend. 01:04:32.780 --> 01:04:36.780 And you know what, the old IFB would be wise to get back to that. 01:04:36.780 --> 01:04:40.780 Instead of this just over-spiritualizing, well, I don't force people to pray. 01:04:40.780 --> 01:04:42.780 You know, that's just foolishness right there. 01:04:42.780 --> 01:04:48.780 You know, it's like they think it's just less spiritual or something. 01:04:48.780 --> 01:04:49.780 Well, why? 01:04:49.780 --> 01:04:50.780 Why is it less spiritual? 01:04:50.780 --> 01:04:51.780 Explain it to me. 01:04:51.780 --> 01:04:52.780 Make it make sense. 01:04:52.780 --> 01:04:54.780 Why is it less spiritual to help people pray? 01:04:54.860 --> 01:04:57.860 There's nothing unspiritual about it at all. 01:04:57.860 --> 01:04:59.860 I mean, I don't know. 01:04:59.860 --> 01:05:01.860 It's just insane to me and it makes me mad. 01:05:01.860 --> 01:05:03.860 Maybe you can see that. 01:05:03.860 --> 01:05:05.860 Maybe it's coming across in the sermon. 01:05:05.860 --> 01:05:09.860 But Isaiah, go ahead and turn to Isaiah chapter number 58. 01:05:09.860 --> 01:05:13.860 But you know, soul winning again, it's a fundamental doctrine, right? 01:05:13.860 --> 01:05:16.860 And I believe that we should just be doing it right. 01:05:16.860 --> 01:05:18.860 We should be making it easy for people to get saved. 01:05:18.860 --> 01:05:20.860 We shouldn't be making it hard, right? 01:05:20.860 --> 01:05:23.860 You know, as a person, I think it's important to be doing it right. 01:05:23.940 --> 01:05:26.940 You know, and maybe a lot of people, they just need some training, 01:05:26.940 --> 01:05:29.940 you know, on how to make it easy, right? 01:05:29.940 --> 01:05:31.940 And why we're making it easy, right? 01:05:31.940 --> 01:05:35.940 You know, sometimes people just need a kick in the pants for them to get it right. 01:05:35.940 --> 01:05:36.940 Amen? 01:05:36.940 --> 01:05:39.940 And you know, another thing about fundamentalists, 01:05:39.940 --> 01:05:42.940 how about another fundamental doctrine that, you know, 01:05:42.940 --> 01:05:46.940 that we expect to have and expect to see at a fundamental church 01:05:46.940 --> 01:05:48.940 is how about hard preaching, right? 01:05:48.940 --> 01:05:51.940 You know, Isaiah chapter 58, it says, verse number one, 01:05:52.020 --> 01:05:55.020 it says, cry loud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet 01:05:55.020 --> 01:05:58.020 and show my people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sin. 01:05:58.020 --> 01:06:00.020 You know what? 01:06:00.020 --> 01:06:01.020 Excuse me. 01:06:01.020 --> 01:06:05.020 A fundamental part of Christianity is hard preaching. 01:06:05.020 --> 01:06:07.020 Why? 01:06:07.020 --> 01:06:09.020 Because we're all sinful, right? 01:06:09.020 --> 01:06:11.020 We all screw up in some way. 01:06:11.020 --> 01:06:14.020 You know, there's a lot of fundamental Baptists that grew up in a church 01:06:14.020 --> 01:06:16.020 where they're making it hard for people to get saved. 01:06:16.020 --> 01:06:20.020 Well, they need some hard preaching to get that stupidity out of them, right? 01:06:20.100 --> 01:06:24.100 And so, you know, again, though, I use that example of soul winning, right? 01:06:24.100 --> 01:06:27.100 But look, we all have issues and problems in our lives 01:06:27.100 --> 01:06:31.100 and we need hard preaching to get, help us get the sin out of our lives. 01:06:31.100 --> 01:06:33.100 That's a part of Christianity, my friend. 01:06:33.100 --> 01:06:36.100 You know, we preach to people all the time, hey, look, you know, 01:06:36.100 --> 01:06:39.100 for you to be saved, you don't have to do any works, 01:06:39.100 --> 01:06:41.100 you don't have to get any sins out of your lives, 01:06:41.100 --> 01:06:43.100 you don't have to do any of that. 01:06:43.100 --> 01:06:46.100 All you have to do is put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, right? 01:06:46.100 --> 01:06:47.100 But guess what? 01:06:47.100 --> 01:06:49.100 That's not all of Christianity. 01:06:49.180 --> 01:06:51.180 It's like, hey, you need to get right. 01:06:51.180 --> 01:06:53.180 Hey, you need to stop screwing up. 01:06:53.180 --> 01:06:55.180 Hey, you need to get sin out of your life, right? 01:06:55.180 --> 01:06:57.180 And so what do we need for that? 01:06:57.180 --> 01:06:59.180 We need hard preaching. 01:06:59.180 --> 01:07:01.180 This is part of Christianity. 01:07:01.180 --> 01:07:03.180 And what, you know, what's hard preaching? 01:07:03.180 --> 01:07:07.180 It's preaching that's going to specifically help you 01:07:07.180 --> 01:07:10.180 to correct problems and issues in your life, right? 01:07:10.180 --> 01:07:17.180 And so, you know, it's just, it's part of, it's part of Christianity. 01:07:17.260 --> 01:07:23.260 And, you know, we don't, we don't need any more preaching in this world. 01:07:23.260 --> 01:07:27.260 It's just this, this soft, pathetic preaching where you never change anything. 01:07:27.260 --> 01:07:30.260 You know, I went to, you know, a new evangelical church 01:07:30.260 --> 01:07:32.260 until I was like 14 years old. 01:07:32.260 --> 01:07:34.260 I went to a Nazarene church for five years. 01:07:34.260 --> 01:07:40.260 You know, and in those churches, I can't even remember hardly any of the preaching at all 01:07:40.260 --> 01:07:42.260 because it was just forgettable. 01:07:42.260 --> 01:07:43.260 Why? 01:07:43.260 --> 01:07:45.260 Because none of it was hard. 01:07:45.340 --> 01:07:48.340 I never had my stove stepped on. 01:07:48.340 --> 01:07:52.340 You know, I probably wasn't even paying hardly any attention half the time. 01:07:52.340 --> 01:07:54.340 And, you know, in the Nazarene church, I was a little bit older. 01:07:54.340 --> 01:07:56.340 You know, I was, I was paying attention. 01:07:56.340 --> 01:08:01.340 And, you know, I can only remember like a couple things that were ever taught at that church. 01:08:01.340 --> 01:08:06.340 You know, I remember this, the preacher up there, the pastor up there, 01:08:06.340 --> 01:08:09.340 he was saying like, he was like, oh yeah, you know, I don't think there's any problem 01:08:09.340 --> 01:08:10.340 with having a bunch of different Bible versions. 01:08:10.340 --> 01:08:13.340 I want people to be able to help and understand, read the Bible or whatever. 01:08:13.420 --> 01:08:16.420 You know, so I can remember him teaching false doctrine. 01:08:16.420 --> 01:08:17.420 Right? 01:08:17.420 --> 01:08:20.420 Well, I can hardly remember anything else. 01:08:20.420 --> 01:08:21.420 Why? 01:08:21.420 --> 01:08:26.420 Because, I mean, I mean, it's just like, you know, reading some Bible story and then, 01:08:26.420 --> 01:08:29.420 you know, a little bit of light preaching, a little sermonette or whatever. 01:08:29.420 --> 01:08:33.420 And, you know, did I ever leave like a changed person? 01:08:33.420 --> 01:08:35.420 No, no. 01:08:35.420 --> 01:08:38.420 And so, you know, we need, we need hard biblical preaching. 01:08:38.420 --> 01:08:39.420 Right? 01:08:39.420 --> 01:08:42.420 And it says in 2nd Timothy chapter number four, verse number one, it says, 01:08:42.500 --> 01:08:43.500 Right? 01:09:08.500 --> 01:09:11.500 So, what is the Bible saying here? 01:09:11.580 --> 01:09:14.580 We need to preach the Bible. 01:09:14.580 --> 01:09:15.580 Right? 01:09:16.580 --> 01:09:18.580 Seems like a fundamental doctrine to me. 01:09:18.580 --> 01:09:22.580 Like, we're not getting up here and preaching my own opinion and preaching just what I think. 01:09:22.580 --> 01:09:23.580 Right? 01:09:23.580 --> 01:09:24.580 We're preaching the Bible. 01:09:24.580 --> 01:09:25.580 Right? 01:09:25.580 --> 01:09:31.580 Like, we're preaching about, you know, how soul winning is making it easy for people to get saved. 01:09:31.580 --> 01:09:32.580 Right? 01:09:32.580 --> 01:09:40.580 And, but people, they want to have these fables and these itching ears and they want to hear some alternative way of doing soul winning. 01:09:40.660 --> 01:09:41.660 Right? 01:09:41.660 --> 01:09:43.660 Where you're just doing door hangers. 01:09:43.660 --> 01:09:50.660 You know, I heard in a Baptist church one time, you know, they're like, oh, well, you know, you can just, you can just go up the door. 01:09:50.660 --> 01:09:51.660 You know, you knock on the door. 01:09:51.660 --> 01:09:55.660 You just hand them the invitation and you say, we're inviting people to church. 01:09:55.660 --> 01:09:57.660 And then you say, haven't I, Stan? 01:09:57.660 --> 01:09:58.660 You run away. 01:09:58.660 --> 01:10:00.660 And there's, is that soul winning? 01:10:00.660 --> 01:10:01.660 Yes. 01:10:01.660 --> 01:10:03.660 Yes, that's soul winning. 01:10:03.660 --> 01:10:09.660 You know what that, but the truth about that is though, if you go by what the Bible says, that's not soul winning. 01:10:09.740 --> 01:10:10.740 Why? 01:10:10.740 --> 01:10:18.740 Because soul winning is preaching the gospel to every creature and is handing somebody a tract preaching gospel? 01:10:18.740 --> 01:10:19.740 No. 01:10:19.740 --> 01:10:20.740 You know what? 01:10:20.740 --> 01:10:26.740 And really the only reason why we even have the invites is as an icebreaker. 01:10:26.740 --> 01:10:27.740 Because it's awkward. 01:10:27.740 --> 01:10:31.740 It would be really awkward to just be like knock on somebody's door and they open the door. 01:10:31.740 --> 01:10:34.740 We're just like, hey, we're from a Baptist church. 01:10:34.740 --> 01:10:36.740 Are you going to heaven when you die? 01:10:36.740 --> 01:10:38.740 That'd be awkward, right? 01:10:38.820 --> 01:10:44.820 It makes it way better to be like, here, we're from a Baptist church, right? 01:10:44.820 --> 01:10:46.820 It's just 10 times better, right? 01:10:46.820 --> 01:10:50.820 And so, you know, that's what that is for, right? 01:10:50.820 --> 01:10:55.820 We're not just handing out invites just for the sake of handing out invites, right? 01:10:55.820 --> 01:10:58.820 I mean, how many people have actually come to our church due to the invite? 01:10:58.820 --> 01:10:59.820 Five? 01:10:59.820 --> 01:11:01.820 You know, and how many years? 01:11:01.820 --> 01:11:07.820 I mean, we've been here seven years and we've had five people come because of the invite, right? 01:11:07.900 --> 01:11:12.900 So the invite is not there to get people to come to our church. 01:11:12.900 --> 01:11:15.900 It's a great side effect whenever it happens, amen? 01:11:15.900 --> 01:11:18.900 We love it when people show up because of the invite. 01:11:18.900 --> 01:11:20.900 But that's not the purpose, right? 01:11:20.900 --> 01:11:27.900 But, you know, again, the Bible says, you know, we're ambassadors for Christ, right? 01:11:27.900 --> 01:11:30.900 We're trying to reconcile people to Christ, right? 01:11:30.980 --> 01:11:37.980 We're going and negotiating, you know, with people to get them to come on to Christ's side, right? 01:11:37.980 --> 01:11:40.980 I mean, that's what, like, an ambassador is going to be doing. 01:11:40.980 --> 01:11:42.980 He's, like, negotiating, right? 01:11:42.980 --> 01:11:45.980 And, you know, the negotiator, again, he's supposed to try to make it easy 01:11:45.980 --> 01:11:48.980 because we want everybody that can possibly come to come on our side 01:11:48.980 --> 01:11:51.980 so we're going to make it as easy as possible, right? 01:11:51.980 --> 01:11:52.980 Amen? 01:11:52.980 --> 01:11:56.980 And so, again, you know, we need biblical preaching, right? 01:11:57.060 --> 01:12:02.060 And, you know, this is something that a lot of fundamental Baptists have screwed up on over the years, 01:12:02.060 --> 01:12:07.060 you know, where they're getting up and they're preaching a lot of unbiblical doctrines. 01:12:07.060 --> 01:12:10.060 Like, you know, they're getting up and they're preaching dispensationalism. 01:12:10.060 --> 01:12:12.060 Sorry, my friend, that's not in the Bible. 01:12:12.060 --> 01:12:16.060 You know, they're getting up and they're preaching, you know, these weird sermons 01:12:16.060 --> 01:12:18.060 where they're making salvation confusing. 01:12:18.060 --> 01:12:22.060 And, you know, unfortunately, a lot of fundamental Baptists are just wrong on salvation. 01:12:22.060 --> 01:12:26.060 They have a repent of your sins, a false doctrine, and they're just wrong. 01:12:26.140 --> 01:12:31.140 And they need to scrape that foundation and they need to pour it again and get salvation right. 01:12:31.140 --> 01:12:36.140 Okay, they need to have, you know, Bible preaching, right? 01:12:36.140 --> 01:12:41.140 And so, you know, again, what's a fundamentalist? 01:12:41.140 --> 01:12:46.140 Well, that's somebody that just picks up the Bible, reads it, and believes what it says. 01:12:46.140 --> 01:12:51.140 You know, and, you know, again, there's kind of like these different levels of fundamentalism, right? 01:12:51.140 --> 01:12:55.140 You know, because, like, you have certain, like, fundamental Baptists 01:12:55.220 --> 01:13:00.220 that are just not even saved, like Stacely Shiflett, this guy, you know, he's not even saved. 01:13:00.220 --> 01:13:03.220 So he shouldn't be calling himself a fundamental Baptist. 01:13:03.220 --> 01:13:06.220 He should be just like a Methodist or something else, right? 01:13:06.220 --> 01:13:10.220 You know, or a Catholic. He can be a Catholic, he can be a Methodist, he can be a Presbyterian. 01:13:10.220 --> 01:13:12.220 He can be pretty much anything else. 01:13:12.220 --> 01:13:15.220 He should link up with, like, Doug Wilson and have a false Bible version. 01:13:15.220 --> 01:13:19.220 I mean, if you're going to get salvation wrong, you may as well go all the way, right? 01:13:19.220 --> 01:13:23.220 And distinguish yourself from the actual Baptist, okay? 01:13:23.300 --> 01:13:29.300 But, you know, but then you have kind of the general life be where, you know, they got salvation right. 01:13:29.300 --> 01:13:31.300 You know, they've got the King James Bible. 01:13:31.300 --> 01:13:34.300 You know, they're not post-millennial, right? 01:13:34.300 --> 01:13:37.300 They might be screwed up on dispensationalism, whatever. 01:13:37.300 --> 01:13:41.300 But, you know, but they're still a fundamentalist, right? 01:13:41.300 --> 01:13:44.300 But then you kind of boil those things away, get rid of the false doctrine, 01:13:44.300 --> 01:13:48.300 and you get rid of, you know, the Zionism and the dispensationalism, 01:13:48.300 --> 01:13:52.300 and you get rid of the bad soul-witting practices. 01:13:52.380 --> 01:13:57.380 You get rid of all that, you know, and eventually you just become new IFB, right? 01:13:57.380 --> 01:14:01.380 You just become, you know, the pure fundamental Baptist, right? 01:14:01.380 --> 01:14:06.380 And in Isaiah chapter number 58, if you want to go back there, 01:14:12.380 --> 01:14:16.380 back to Isaiah chapter number 58, look at verse number 12. 01:14:16.460 --> 01:14:19.460 And they shall be, excuse me, 01:14:36.460 --> 01:14:41.460 And so, you know, in this, we'll call this the building of fundamentalism, right? 01:14:41.540 --> 01:14:46.540 In this building of fundamentalism, you know, over the years, 01:14:46.540 --> 01:14:50.540 there's different people that come along, like vandals, right? 01:14:50.540 --> 01:14:55.540 You know, I guess that's the Idaho Vandals, that's their mascot, right? 01:14:55.540 --> 01:14:57.540 You know, you've got these vandals coming in, 01:14:57.540 --> 01:15:00.540 and they're punching holes in the wall, and they're scratching things up, 01:15:00.540 --> 01:15:03.540 and they're messing stuff up, right? 01:15:03.540 --> 01:15:06.540 And so, you know, eventually somebody's got to come along, 01:15:06.540 --> 01:15:10.540 and they're like, hey, there's these problems with our building here. 01:15:10.620 --> 01:15:14.620 Let's get some mortar, let's get some bricks, let's get some timber, 01:15:14.620 --> 01:15:17.620 let's get some drywall, or whatever, if we're in America. 01:15:17.620 --> 01:15:20.620 We need to fix these problems with the temple. 01:15:20.620 --> 01:15:24.620 We've got to fix these problems with our building of fundamentalism here. 01:15:24.620 --> 01:15:25.620 There are some issues. 01:15:25.620 --> 01:15:28.620 And so, in every generation, you know, there's got to be somebody 01:15:28.620 --> 01:15:31.620 that comes along and does an inspection. 01:15:31.620 --> 01:15:34.620 We need a building inspection on fundamentalism today, my friend, 01:15:34.620 --> 01:15:38.620 that comes along and looks around, finds the cracks, 01:15:38.700 --> 01:15:41.700 and identifies the problems and the issues, right? 01:15:41.700 --> 01:15:44.700 Now, hopefully, there's nothing wrong with the foundation, right? 01:15:44.700 --> 01:15:46.700 Because, you know, we're believing in Jesus Christ, 01:15:46.700 --> 01:15:50.700 we're King James only, you know, we're not off on some weird squirrely doctrine 01:15:50.700 --> 01:15:52.700 of repent of your sins or something like that, right? 01:15:52.700 --> 01:15:55.700 So the foundation's good, we've inspected it, it's fine, 01:15:55.700 --> 01:15:58.700 but you know what, there's a major crack in the wall over there 01:15:58.700 --> 01:16:00.700 called dispensationalism. 01:16:00.700 --> 01:16:02.700 There's a major crack in the wall over there 01:16:02.700 --> 01:16:05.700 called the pre-tribulational rapture, right? 01:16:05.780 --> 01:16:08.780 We need to come in and, hey, we're going to fix that crack. 01:16:08.780 --> 01:16:13.780 You know, there's a leak in the ceiling called bad soul winning practices 01:16:13.780 --> 01:16:17.780 and it's causing mold and it's causing damage 01:16:17.780 --> 01:16:18.780 throughout the building, right? 01:16:18.780 --> 01:16:21.780 We're going to get up there, we're going to fix that leak. 01:16:21.780 --> 01:16:22.780 Right? 01:16:22.780 --> 01:16:26.780 And I believe every generation needs to have a group of people 01:16:26.780 --> 01:16:29.780 that come in and they're inspecting that building 01:16:29.780 --> 01:16:32.780 and finding the issues and finding the problems, right? 01:16:32.780 --> 01:16:33.780 And fixing them. 01:16:33.860 --> 01:16:36.860 Because you know what, we could just be, you know, 01:16:36.860 --> 01:16:41.860 if we're just lazy and we just decide, no, you know, it's fine, 01:16:41.860 --> 01:16:43.860 what we've been doing here has been working 01:16:43.860 --> 01:16:47.860 and we just kind of let the doctrine just kind of creep away 01:16:47.860 --> 01:16:50.860 and let the doctrine get bad, 01:16:50.860 --> 01:16:54.860 where we're not making our doctrine clear, 01:16:54.860 --> 01:16:58.860 and we're not being clear about the Trinity, right? 01:16:58.860 --> 01:17:01.860 All of a sudden we're all wishy-washy on the Trinity, 01:17:01.940 --> 01:17:03.940 and we're going back on what we said about the Trinity 01:17:03.940 --> 01:17:04.940 and all of a sudden we're just agreeing 01:17:04.940 --> 01:17:07.940 with whatever the Catholics said for some stupid reason, 01:17:07.940 --> 01:17:08.940 which, you know, if the Catholics, 01:17:08.940 --> 01:17:11.940 I mean, why would we agree on the Catholics, 01:17:11.940 --> 01:17:14.940 we're just going to assume that the Catholics are just always correct 01:17:14.940 --> 01:17:16.940 in the Trinity just because that's what the Catholics said? 01:17:16.940 --> 01:17:17.940 No! 01:17:17.940 --> 01:17:20.940 The Catholics, okay, in general, I suppose the Catholics, 01:17:20.940 --> 01:17:22.940 they get that there's the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. 01:17:22.940 --> 01:17:26.940 Okay, we agree on the Trinity, you know, to that effect, right? 01:17:26.940 --> 01:17:29.940 But if you get down, you're digging deep on the Trinity 01:17:30.020 --> 01:17:32.020 and you're just going with what the Catholics says 01:17:32.020 --> 01:17:35.020 instead of what the Bible says, that's a problem, my friend! 01:17:35.020 --> 01:17:39.020 So we shouldn't be lazy and just let, you know, let the building decay. 01:17:39.020 --> 01:17:42.020 We can't be letting the building decay. 01:17:42.020 --> 01:17:44.020 We need to tighten things up on the Trinity 01:17:44.020 --> 01:17:46.020 and make sure people aren't being screwed up 01:17:46.020 --> 01:17:48.020 and messed up on the Trinity, my friend. 01:17:48.020 --> 01:17:50.020 We need to tighten these things up 01:17:50.020 --> 01:17:52.020 and we need to inspect the building 01:17:52.020 --> 01:17:55.020 and check for problems, right? 01:17:55.020 --> 01:17:58.020 You know, every once in a while you need to peek up into the attic 01:17:58.100 --> 01:18:01.100 and make sure you don't have water damage coming in, right? 01:18:01.100 --> 01:18:04.100 And peek up into the attic and check and make sure 01:18:04.100 --> 01:18:08.100 that the two by fours and everything are actually up to code. 01:18:08.100 --> 01:18:10.100 Make sure they're actually two by fours. 01:18:10.100 --> 01:18:12.100 You know, instead of lap boarding or something like that, 01:18:12.100 --> 01:18:14.100 holding up the roof under your garage, 01:18:14.100 --> 01:18:16.100 it's like, oh, that's not good, right?
