If you would raise your hands in the air, a person will come and give you a bulletin. Brother James, please. Hello, everybody. Good evening. Welcome to Pure Words Baptist Church. Thanks for coming tonight. We're just going to go through our bulletin real quick. If you do not have a bulletin, Brother Jeff can get you one. Just raise your hand. Our service times are there on the top left. 1030 a.m. on Sunday, 530 Sunday evening. And tonight is our Bible study night, 7 p.m. And then we have our soul winning times there and the respective leaders. If you want to start a soul winning time, let Brother Nick know. You can get a soul winning time going in your area if you need to. And then there are our stats, our salvations and baptisms. Is there any numbers to report for this week? Any soul winning? Anybody have any salvations? Okay. Well, keep up the soul winning, guys. We also want to be in prayer for our expected mothers, Ms. Darnell. And so she's having a baby girl here in June. So keep her in your prayers. And then we have some upcoming guest preachers. Of course tonight, Brother Segura from Faithful Word. We love having him here. He's here so much, too. He is technically a member of this church. But anyway, thank you for coming and preaching for us. We always enjoy that. Please let him know after the service. And then, you know, March 20th, we've got Brother Ben Naim coming. And so you know that that's going to be, you know, a very tenacious, leather lung preaching, as always from Brother Ben. And then we have some upcoming events. And this is very exciting. If you can get to this, please get to it. It will definitely help us in our work of evangelism that this church is our first works, right? And what I'm talking about is a soul-winning seminar at Steadfast up in Hearst, Texas. So that's going to be on March 24th, 5th, and 26th. That's a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. And so if you can get off work, get off work and go check it out. Even if you can only be there one day, get there at least one day. And it's just going to be a workshop plus soul-winning. So we're going to learn some stuff hopefully, and then we're going to be able to apply it immediately, which is really nice. And then we'll actually be able to kind of role play and learn some stuff and do it right then, which is just going to help us and sharpen us. So be a part of that if you can be. Also, soul-winning marathon, April 2nd, that's going to be in College Station. So that's Brother Nick's backyard, his hometown. And so he says that it's very receptive there, especially with the college people there, the younger crowd there. They're kind of like trying to figure out what do they believe. And so what a great opportunity it is to show them the truth, and then they can make up their mind what they want to believe. That's going to be a great soul-winning marathon. And then another soul-winning marathon in Texas, in Austin, Texas. So I can't remember what the phrase is, make Austin right again, or normal again, right? And so Austin does get labeled with UT there as being very liberal, but there's got to be a lot of conservative people maybe trying to figure out the truth on salvation. And so we want to be there to get more people saved in that area, and who knows, maybe they'll start a church there one day and there's a bunch of believers that got saved, and somebody goes and pastors a church there, a good church. So be a part of that. Those are all great events. And then we have prayer requests there. And of course, first and foremost is definitely Pastor Shelley and his family, and not just his immediate family, but his congregation with everything that they're going through. They don't have a building like this where they're at right now. They're kind of winging it and making things happen because of the persecution that's coming towards them. Because churches that are doing what's right, going out preaching the gospel, preaching the truth, they're getting persecuted, and that's what's happening. Please pray for those guys. And I know pastor says, hey, everybody's got a good attitude, and the church members are being great soldiers through this, and amen to that, and we just want to ask God to help them out. In any area where they may lack or need some kind of support or comfort, you know, God is so kind to us. But that and then Brother Edward, he's actually in surgery today, and so it's an in-and-out thing for his ear, so keep him in prayer. And add anybody to this list when you have your prayer time, and if you need something put on the bulletin, just go ahead and e-mail the church, and we can get those people at it so that we can all pray for them. That is what we've got in the bulletins tonight. Brother Jeff, come lead us in the next song. What number? Nothing but the blood. Nothing but the blood, okay. All right, turn your hymnals to Nothing But the Blood, which is 30, song number 30, Nothing But the Blood. Okay. What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. For my part in this I see. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. For my cleansing this my plea. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Nothing can for sin atone. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Not of good that I have done. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. This is all my hope and peace. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. This is all my righteousness. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Amen. Great singing everyone. Now if you would turn into your Bibles into 1 John chapter 5. 1 John chapter 5. And we will have brother James come read for us. And I'll pass it around the offering plate as well. 1 John chapter number 5. 1 John chapter number 5. And the Bible reads, whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. And everyone that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God. When we love God and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God. That we keep his commandments and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ. Not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God, which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself. He that believeth not God hath made him a liar, because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that you have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us. And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desire of him. If any man see his brother sin a sin, which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death, I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not unto death. We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not. But he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. Let's pray. Father God, and Holy Spirit, we pray in Jesus' name, and in Jesus' name, Amen. Amen. Amen, where it's good to be back and I'm flying out tonight so pray for me. Last time I was here I was late because the driver just didn't want to pick me up for whatever reason. And then I figured no, he's probably just having a bad day or whatever the case may be. But then he actually did report me and I got some kind of strike from Uber saying that our driver has reported that you're not wearing a mask, if you continue this we're going to cancel your account or whatever the case may be. And I'm thinking I wonder if this has to do with church and even to this day I don't know. But it's funny because I got into the Uber and it literally says, dropping off Christopher at Pure Words Baptist Church. So I'm thinking maybe, maybe not, I don't know. The guy's name was Mohammed, I'm not accusing him of anything. I just know for a fact when it's taking me here it does tell the driver Pure Words Baptist Church. World famous, amen? Alright so 1 John 5, 11 go ahead and look at it. Very familiar verses, these are verses that we use our soul when in, you probably even use them to kind of straighten your faith whenever you start to kind of doubt sometimes and it can happen, I'm not saying it's happening to you guys, it's very difficult to doubt your salvation when you're reading your Bible, going to church, listening to good preaching, when you're right with the Lord, He'll keep you straight, but let's just face it the people that struggle with it are people that backslide, leave church, go back to the world, they'll struggle with it. No doubt in my mind. But all I got to say is like hey, just read 1 John 5, 11 and take a look at it. It says, and this is the record. What's the record? Well I'm not going to give you the dictionary.com definition, I just went to thesaurus.com. Everybody's always dictionary.com, I'm like I'm going to do thesaurus.com tonight, amen? And this is what it says, record, evidence, testimony, documentation, the witness, hey that matches. So what is it saying? This is the evidence, the testimony, you can even say documentation because it's the scriptures, this is the witness, this is what the Bible says, bottom line. It says this is the record that God hath, hath is an old English way of saying has, and you have it, you, you have it. It says that God has given to us eternal life. And this life, talking about eternal life, says this life is in his son, meaning it's in Jesus Christ's hands, figuratively speaking of course. So the title of my sermon tonight is this, once eternal, always eternal, once eternal, always eternal. And you're like man a basic sermon tonight, I could have probably just read this at my house. We don't have to drive all the way down here risking getting in an accident, we're not going to just read it. Well listen, we know that once they've always saved it's legit, but a lot of people don't believe that. I'll give you an example. He's a false prophet who sort of Creflo Dollar, I believe that's his name, Creflo Dollar. He was in the media because he was praying for something and they were giving him heat. You know what he was praying for? Not just a jet, an 80 million dollar jet. And they're like what does a pastor need an 80 million dollar jet for? Well I need to do God's word, I need to do the Lord's word, I need to go from point A to point B or whatever the case may be. And I really, I'm thinking, I just got on Southwest, hey let me put it this way. I was trying to read, I just closed my eyes and I passed out, next thing you know, prepare yourself for landing, put up your trays, I'm like what, two and a half hours? Man I did get up at 4.30 but I didn't think I was that tired. And even though it may seem like people are crowded, like little, you know, little whatever in a tuna can, it's not that bad. The worst is the sound. I'll give you the sound. The sound of the engines are loud. But guess what Creflo, you don't need an 80 million dollar jet to fix that, you just need an 80 dollar pair of headphones with noise canceling and you're good. That's how I know because as soon as those suckers came up and it was like rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. All of a sudden I'm like alright, five minute rest, prepare for landing, what? Ah man it was that quick. So we know Creflo is full of it, amen? But here's what he did recently. I think six weeks ago, four weeks ago, guess what he decided to preach again? One save, always save. One save, always save. Look him up, go to him on YouTube, Creflo Dollar, go to his YouTube page, and guess what he's preaching against? Just keep scrolling down, you'll see it. It's called, The Truth About Once Saved, Always Saved. And he goes to Hebrews 6, and I'm thinking Hebrews 6, I can do better than that, but let's just get the fundamentals down really quickly. Let's just put them out there right now. It's like, what else do you need? And the reason I called this sermon, Once Eternal, Always Eternal, I would like to see Creflo preach against once eternal, always eternal. See, once they've always saved, we gave it that name because people were mocking it, and we're like, yep, that's what we believe. Once you're saved, you're always saved. Once you have salvation, you always have salvation. But it's kind of interesting how he just wants to talk about how once you're saved, you know, say you're not always saved. Well, I'm thinking, what if the sermon was called, or what if it was called, Once Eternal, Always Eternal? What is he going to say? Because even a little kid can figure that out. I mean, it just came out of a movie in theaters. Isn't it called The Immortals or The Eternals? Some kind of, it's some kind of, I don't even know who makes it, but it's a movie that caught my title. It's like some superhero movie called The Eternals or something like that. I guess these people were on earth living forever or whatever. What's it called? The Eternals, right? What does eternal mean? Forever. Hey, can you, can you email Creflo Dollar and let him know that, please? All right, go school that guy, okay? But see, here's the bottom line. The bottom line is, there's people out there that don't believe once saved, always saved. But we're thinking, how? How? And I've had people even in our church say, listen, I'm saved. I know it's eternal. I believe Jesus. I believe in the Trinity. I believe hell's forever. I believe this. I believe that. I believe eternal life is a gift. That's what he says. It's a gift, but I'm struggling with Hebrew sex. I'm struggling with it. Like, what is this about? And I'm thinking, well, don't you believe the basics of Christianity? That eternal life is a gift? Forget about Hebrew sex. Before we get to Hebrews, what comes first? You got Mark, Matthew, Luke, John. It's like, look, look, brother, before we talk about Hebrew sex, let's go back to John. You might have missed what it said in John. Let's talk about it really quickly. So if you have your Bibles, go to John 3. Quickly go to John 3. When you go to John 3, I'm going to, I'm going to read from John 10, 28. One of my favorite verses to preach to people are knocking doors. It says in John 10, 28, and I give, amen, not reward. I give unto them eternal life. Hey, what does eternal life mean again? Look at this. He's already like tuned out. He's turning me out. He's eternal life. What does it mean again? Forever, right? Forever. All right. Hey, I'm going to pick on you guys. I need your help tonight. Okay. All right. So stay awake. And what are you doing here? I'm just kidding. And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never, never perish. I mean, it's hard not to understand what eternal means today in 2022 when you got dictionary.com, thesaurus.com, but forget about those. I mean, the Bible does a great job helping you to understand certain phrases, certain words, and eternal is one of those because God's just helping us over and over and over again so that we have no doubt when it comes to what eternal means. Verse after verse after verse. And this is one of them. I give unto them eternal life and they shall never, never perish. Neither should a man pluck them out of my hand. These are verses you guys have probably quoted hundreds of times if you've been out so winning. And not just that, John 14, 6 says this, Jesus says out to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the father but by me. Why? Because like it says in 1 John 5, that eternal life is in the son. He has it. Eternal life is your ticket to heaven. Without it, you cannot go. And there's only one person that's passing out these tickets and that's Jesus Christ. You can say, I believe in God like the Muslim, but I don't know about Jesus. I think he's just a prophet. Well, you better figure that out really quickly because if you ask God for a ticket to heaven, he ain't going to give it to you. He's going to say, no, did you not realize that it's through the son? I wrote it. You claim that you believe in me. You know, well, why don't you listen to what I said? And what did he say? Because this is coming from God. Everything in the Bible says it's in the son. It's through Jesus Christ. You come to him, he'll give it to you. We have verses to back that up. And what is, what is this gift? What is it? Well, we already know, Romans 6 23, that is eternal life. The gift of God eternal life through Jesus Christ. But you're right there in John 3. More verses. I mean, I don't understand how people can think that Hebrew 6 has anything to do with believers because isn't this just fundamental stuff? I mean, I used to listen to a lot of false doctrine and I never got into it. Why did I listen to it? Because I was trying to find preaching and I will go to websites and I would think that I found something that was good. And sure enough, I'm listening to Ray Comfort. I'm listening to Kirk Cameron. I'm listening to whoever. I'm listening to Ken Hovind. And I'm thinking, wow, man, these guys are awesome because I don't know my Bible. But then when you start hearing things like, hey, you need to turn from sin. This is what Ray Comfort says, eternal life is a gift. And if you repent, turn from sin and to the savior, he'll grant you everlasting life and you'll go to heaven and you'll never go to hell. Well, that's not the gospel. If you turn from sin to Jesus, that's, that's works. We know that's works because of Jonah. Jonah said when God saw their works that they turned from the evil way, they got repented of the evil they said it would do unto them. So we know that, hey, turning from sin, if you think you got saved because you gave up drinking, you gave up whatever sin, and it's always the easy ones. You need to stop committing adultery. Oh yeah, I know, I know. You know what? You need to stop killing people. I don't think Ray Comfort ever does that because obviously we know you don't have to be told it's wrong. I mean, when somebody murders, I mean, come on. I'm not even going to go there. But, hey, Ray Comfort, why don't you tell them they need to start giving 10 percent of their money? Because you know they're not doing it. Why don't you tell them, hey, you know what, because he knows. Do you really think that the average person that Ray Comfort talks to is tithing? Do you really think they're tithing? No, they're robbing from God. But isn't that interesting? He never mentions robbing from God. They go through the Ten Commandments. That's the soul-willing style. He likes to show them just how bad of a person he is. Well, mention tithing in there. Let's see if they get saved. Let's see if they'll pray. I highly thought they will if they ever do. But notice what I'm talking about. His videos, his witnessing, they never pray. I saw just one out of a hundred that prayed and this woman did not get saved because she felt that she was living in sin and she never realized how bad she is and she's ready to give it up. So she's coming to Christ saying, Lord, I'm ready. I'm ready to get saved now. I'm ready to give up my sins. And Jesus is like, what? That's not my gospel. Hey, I said, repent and believe the gospel. I'm talking about mine, not whatever one you want. But look at this, John 3.14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. In other words, it says, hey, I need to be lifted up. I must be crucified. I must die on the cross. Why? That whosoever believe, I love how it's just written and so amazing, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish. He could have just stopped there. God could have just put a period after perish and have plenty of other verses like John 3.16 to explain to us what that means in case you're wondering, in case you're doubting, in case you're maybe a child back when this was written and you really didn't have that much of an education. But he finishes it up by saying, hey, you're not going to perish, but you're going to have not just life. He gets very specific, eternal life, eternal life. So what's the title of the sermon? Once eternal, always eternal. It's the same as once saved, always saved. But some people don't get it and they want to attack once saved, always saved, and they'll use Hebrew 6 and we'll get into Hebrew 6 in a second. But I mean, is this hard? The stuff that I've showed you, eternal life, what's it mean? Forever. He's got it. Forever. Does that mean it's going to end one day? No. No. You still have the answer, but he's got the right answer. I mean, how can you get confused with these verses? For God so loved the world, he gives only begotten son to whosoever believeth him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God said not to send the world to condemn the world. Maybe you're not sure what condemn means, but when you look at the context, you could tell one thing from reading this. Even if you can't tell that condemn here is talking about hell, everlasting fire, it clearly shows that it's bad. This condemnation is bad. That's why it says this, said not to send to the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God. And I'll just go down to verse 36, if you can, all the way down to the very end of John 3, verse number 36. He that believeth on the son has everlasting life, and he that believeth not the son shall not see life, but the wrath. Obviously, that's God's punishment. We know what that means. That means hell, everlasting fire, everlasting torment, whatever you want to call it, says the wrath of God abideth on the individual that does not believe in everlasting life. So when you have people saying, I believe it's eternal, I believe it's a gift, but listen, I'm wondering, you're wondering? I'm just wondering. I'm wondering, can a person go from here to here? And I'm like, well, what do you mean from here to here? I'm like, well, let me see if I got this right. Are you saying from everlasting life to death? Yeah. How could you even ask that? How do I even answer that? It's almost like a foolish question. It's like, so you're literally struggling right now, but I believe in the Trinity. I believe Jesus died for all my sins. I believe he resurrected. I believe eternal life is a gift. I believe it's 100% by faith. But can a person go from here to here? Like, what do you mean? It's like, no! No! Like, no! I can understand if you get confused in Hebrew 6 because it can kind of seem like it's talking about a saved person, a faithful individual, but let's just get eternal out of the way. It's like, what part of eternal don't you understand? What does eternal mean? Forever. Forever. That means it'll never end. But listen, there's people that are literally struggling with this and claiming they believe in eternal life. I'm like, wait a minute. How does that work? One thing I didn't struggle when I got saved was the fact that eternal means eternal. Now, when I read Hebrew 6, I'm like, you know what? Is that talking about saved people? Because I thought they could. No, that's not. Oh, that's what I thought. And what is this talking about? Well, if it's not about saved, it's about unsaved people. But there's also other things that people say about Hebrew 6 that it's not talking about. Some people say it's talking about believers. Other people say it's talking about, you know, Christians who backslide and they leave and they go off the deep end. It's like, it's talking about those people. Not even talking about those, but we'll get into that in a second. But I'm just trying to go over the verses that we already know. I mean, how many verses do you have to have been shown for you to be, like, convinced that you cannot lose it? Here's some more. If you got your Bible, go back to 1 John 5-10. I'm going to read from John 6-47 and listen. When I wasn't going to church, when I wasn't reading my Bible, when I wasn't listening to preaching, when I started to get backslidden, when I started to get back into sin, I did have a time when I wondered, am I even saved? I did. I'm like, man, am I even saved? And especially when I came across Ray Comfort. I'm like, man, if this guy's right, I'm not saved. But I thought it was a gift. See, my anchor was always the gift. My anchor was always eternal because what does it mean? Forever. Forever. And I'm thinking to myself, surely, surely Ray Comfort is not saying what I think he's saying, is he? That I had to have stopped sinning? Oh, there it is. Unless you repay, you shall likewise perish. And I'm like, whoa, whoa. And now I'm at the point where I'm useless to the Lord because unless you're 100% sure with confidence, you're going to have a hard time serving the Lord. You're going to just stay put. You're going to be scared to go left or right. You're like, man, I don't even want to do anything until I figure this out. Why? Because you don't have faith. Your faith starts to drop because faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of God. So guess what? Doubting comes by hearing, and that's by not hearing the Word of God. But what am I saying? I'm simply saying this, that the verses in the Bible are powerful. They will get you back on track immediately. Here's an example. John 647. This is the one verse I love using because it reminds me when I was struggling, am I really saved? Ray Comfort, is he right? And if you don't know who Ray Comfort is, he's just a heretic that just likes to tell people that, A, you need to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal life is an everlasting gift through Jesus Christ, and if you repent, turn from your sins to the Savior. He's just twisted some scriptures, and he still hasn't figured out that King James is the only one he should be reading, but he's so smart. He's been reading his Bibles for so long, and he does these so many videos, but he never gets anyone saved. He got one person out of 100 videos that I've seen pray, but it wasn't even Ray Comfort. It was another lady that did it. But when you see Ray Comfort, he kind of leaves people hanging, but he's telling them lies. He's preaching them damnable heresy. Something's going to send out just himself to help other people as well. But look at John 6 47. This verse got me back on track instantly when I was wondering about Ray Comfort. Like does sin matter when you're getting saved? I see it says repent. I see that it says unless you repent, it shall likewise perish. Hey, I see it all day long. Jesus says, repent and believe the gospel. What did he mean? Well, when you read the entire Bible, you kind of realize that works have nothing to do with it. The New Testament is even more clearer, and here's one of the reasons why. John 6 47, verily I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life. It doesn't say eternal this time, but it says everlasting, and we all know it means the same thing. God's just helping us out because he knew we were going to struggle in 2022 because of a bunch of heretics out there trying to twist God's word, and he's like they're going to twist my word eternal one day. You know what? I'm going to slap everlasting to make it even harder for them to do that because that's just the facts. You know these guys are going around saying eternal life is a gift. It is a gift, but listen you cannot send away your salvation, but you can denounce it. You can denounce your salvation. You can let it go, and I have other people telling me something similar. I had a guy tell me something like this. Well listen, I think it's more like this. It's kind of like if somebody gives you a car for a gift, right, and after 15 years of driving it, you kind of get tired of that car, and you're thinking to yourself you know what? I'm tired of this car. I need a new one, and you look around, and you see someone you like, and you're like yo man you need a car? I sure do. Here. Boom. You throw them the keys, and now it belongs to them. You gave it away. That's kind of what I'm thinking because that's reality. Yeah, but that's not eternal. It's not. It's more like this. Hey, you know what? I'm sick of this car. I'm just going to give it away. Boom. Hey, you know what? Here you go. Boom. You throw the keys, and that's a nice little keychain attached, and bounces right back at you. That keychain ain't never coming off. That's what it is. No matter who you toss the keys to, it's going to be right back. Like those janitor keys, the ones that come right back, you know. They're like a million keys, and it's like boom, you know, drops it right back. That's more like what it is if you really want to get technical, you know, but what do we see in scripture all day long? It's a gift. It's eternal. You'll never perish. I mean look at this one. John 11 25. This one got me on track. It always gets me on track. It helps me to get people on track or helps me to get people saved. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yes shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. And Creflo Dollar does not believe you get eternal life the moment you believe on Jesus because if he did and if he tells you no I do I do believe you get saved the moment you believe in the Lord call upon his name. If he says that he's lying and these people they may not admit it because they're too scared to tell people what they really believe, but you know they believe in contradictions. You know they believe there's contradictions in the Bible. God didn't make those contradictions. Man made those contradictions. These translations, something's lost in the translation. That's why they read the ESV. That's why he wasn't quoting when I listened to his sermon. He wasn't quoting from the King James. He wasn't. And when people say eternal life is a gift but I believe you can denounce it, that's a contradiction dummy. It's like how could you not see that? Because it's called a strong delusion and when God gives you over he gives you over to a strong delusion where people are like how stupid is this guy? He's like he literally just told me it's eternal but you can lose it. That does not matter. That's the opposite. But listen to this, shall never die. Believe it's not this. He says that to Martha. He says unto him, yeah Lord you better believe that. This is what you need to believe in order to be saved. That you'll never die no matter what. You'll never go to hell. If you're saved, if God has given unto you eternal life like the Bible says, you will never perish. Never will. But what do they say? Look at 1 John 5 10. He that believes that the Son of God has a witness in himself. He that believeth not God has made him a liar. And that's what these people are doing. They're making God liars and they don't even notice it. They don't even see it. It goes right over their heads. And their followers because their followers are not saved either. They don't have the Spirit of God. They don't have the ability to understand the scriptures. They wrestle with the scriptures ever learning and never ever come to the knowledge of the truth. And what is the truth? That eternal life is eternal. What does it mean? Forever. Seriously. Now I'll go to Hebrews 6 and let's see what they're whining about. Let's take a look and see what they keep bringing up that makes them just down like all these verses. Brothers the girl, I see what you're saying but this one verse just makes me struggle so bad. What's up with this? These verses in Hebrew 6. Well let's see what the fuss is all about. I'm like alright let's go there now brother. But since John 3 16, John 3 36, John 6 47, John 11, John 10 didn't help you. Okay fine let's see where you're at. Let's see where you're at. So Hebrews 6 says this. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened. Now does that say they were once saved? It says enlightened. What does that mean? It means that you kind of wake up you kind of see it. You see what I'm talking about? Episode of time. I talk to people and they're like hey I believe. Oh yeah you believe you're a sinner? You believe Jesus died for your sins? Absolutely. You know you believe Jesus died and rose again? Absolutely. But why did he do that? I don't know. Well let me tell you he did it because he loves us. You know Romans 5 8. Moses did it because there's a hell. You believe in hell? Oh yeah I absolutely do. What do you believe hell is? I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't know. I'm not really too sure about that. And I'm thinking to myself well hold up though you know. It's like let me help you fix that problem really quickly. And then you show them verse after verse and they still don't know. I just don't know. I'm not sure about this. Okay well what did I do? I enlightened that person. I didn't get him saved but they're not enlightened. And they say like whoa I see it now because Mark 9 how could you not at least admit that the Bible says that hell is fire? When Jesus says if your eye offended cut it off. If your head cut it off. If your foot cut it off. And he says it's better for you to enter the kingdom of heaven with one eye than having towards to be cast into hell fire. Translation is fire. And it's fire that never shall be quenched. Hey they see it. They're enlightened. They never knew that. They heard about hell so much but they've never seen it with their own eyes. They've never looked at the scriptures because guess what a lot of people have never opened up the Bible once in their life. I was one of them. When I first went to church the pastor's like go to Genesis. I'm like Genesis? What is that? The only Genesis I know about is Sega Genesis. And then I'm just kind of like trying to find out where Genesis is at. I'm trying to find the index and lucky enough this teenager comes up to me he sees me struggling. My first day at church he had a Bible and he's saying he's like hey here you go. You know what I'm saying? I'm like sweet boom gave him back the one that they had behind the little pews and I'm like sweet all right now go to John. Can you help me out here? Boom John. I've never seen it but I was enlightened. When I saw verses I'm like wow. Hey what got me saved? Romans 6 23 got me saved. I already believe I was a sinner. I already believe in hell. I even believe it was fire believe it or not growing up Catholic. I don't know how that happened. Maybe TV. I don't know but I was convinced. Hey I believe hell is fire because that's what I've heard. That's what I've been taught. Hey I don't see why not. You know there's a heaven there's a hell and it should be a very severe punishment if you're going to send somebody somewhere to be punished for all eternity if you're if you're sinning against God and if you're that bad hey you should end up getting something that's really really horrible not just burn up your diamond and it's over and nobody will ever know about you like the Jehovah's witness false doctrine but I was thinking okay I already believe that I already believe that guys give me the gospel I already believe that I already believe that and sure enough it gets to something that I've never ever seen in my life and that was Romans 6 23. When I saw it I was enlightened I'm like whoa eternal life is a gift wow instantly I believed it but was I saved no it's not no it's not because guess what seeing it being enlightened that's not how you get saved there's more to it i.e. call upon the name of the Lord i.e. understanding it not just seeing it but I understood it praise the Lord he opened my eyes so I could understand the scriptures when I was getting saved so I was enlightened but these people think that these people are saved just because this is enlightened I'm like man you're adding stuff to this and it doesn't make sense if everything we just saw all these verses we just went over stuff you guys have heard hundreds of times read so many times all these verses saying that it's eternal that we're never going to perish we're never going to die that's exactly what the Bible says all of a sudden now people in Hebrew 6 can lose their salvation it's like wait a minute hold up let's take a look you're still right there in Hebrew 6 it does say it is impossible for those who were once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift it still doesn't say anything about them being saved it doesn't use those words and have been saved by or have received the heavenly gift doesn't say they have received the heavenly gift you already saw that it says that the gift of God's eternal life already saw that we saw that it says in you know first John 5 that God gives unto us eternal life this life is in the sun so of course does it say right there that they have received the heavenly gift no it says and we're made partakers of the holy ghost but does it say they're sealed with the holy ghost does not say that they're jumping the gun because they see things that aren't there because they heard it from a false prophet and there's a good chance that if you're trusting these people the creflo dollars the benny hens the the billy grams or whatever if you're trusting these people and you think they're right you know saying you might not actually be saved because guess what you know what God gives us enough wisdom to realize hey this doesn't make any sense just like great comfort everything he got me he duped me you know he's a false brethren and sure enough as soon as you start saying things that were damnable like wait a minute I don't know the Bible that well but I know one thing I know for a fact the Bible says that the gift of God is eternal life that's the only verse I knew I got saved all right see you later hope you can visit us one day it wasn't until 22 months later that I went to church that entire 22 months from day one until 22 months later no church no Bible no preaching no fellowship nothing I had one thing one thing only that kept me grounded and that's the fact that I knew I saw with my own eyes the Bible says the gift of God is eternal life nothing can shake me not the Catholics they were trying to convince me that I had to repent that's the first time I heard the word repent after I got saved in the marine corps one of the catholic lay leaders did like well you have to repent I'm like repent what does that even mean it's like you believe eternal life's a gift yeah it's a gift but you have to repent how familiar crevalo dollar crevalo dollar you have to repent then you have to walk the walk you don't walk the walk guess what you're going to get darkened and this is what he says you can't send away your salvation you can't send away your salvation why because I'm pretty sure he's full of sin but he says but you can denounce it meaning that hey you cannot lose it by sinning but he said this but if you sin so much you eventually darken your heart like Pharaoh and at that point that's when you end up denouncing it that's when it gets so full of pride that you stop believing stop believing what stop believing on the Lord stop believing on on salvation is by grace through faith that is a gift and at that point is when you reject finally Christianity and it's impossible to renew you translation get you saved but let's finish reading and we'll get to some other verses to prove that they're full of it don't worry it's 29 minutes into the sermon I'm gonna try to go 15 more amen it says that they have tasted of the heavenly gift and they were made partakers so once again what do we see all we see is that it says that they were enlightened doesn't use the word save doesn't doesn't use anything that even seems to imply that these people are safe it's just enlightened you know they they realize okay this is what it says they realize the truth and they've tasted of the heavenly gift taste it doesn't mean that they ate doesn't mean like they ate at all you know I could taste my wife's dinner but as soon as she turns around if I don't like it I can spit it out doesn't mean I ate it you know I'm not saying I do that I'm just saying I can and it says they have tasted the good word of God see the good word of God they tasted it oh no no they haven't meaning they haven't been saved and the powers of the world to come if they shall fall away it's impossible to renew them again unto repentance saying they crucify to themselves the son of God afresh and put into an open shame so this is this is what they say oh this is talking about somebody who you know he just denounces it he just gives it up you know he was a church member he went to church and he just gave it up and at this point hey they are no longer saved according to craft low dollar they're no longer safe but it's a rare few that do it a rare few not everyone falls into this category it's very rare to get to this point you have to just darken yourself so much i.e you have to sin so much that you get so dark that you can't see anymore and then at that point you fall away you walk away you leave you're no longer saved but hold up isn't it eternal though well brother we're preaching against one save always say bring stop bringing up eternal you know stop bringing that up because how do you preach against once eternal always eternal how do you preach against that it makes no sense but he's taking advantage of the fact that it says saved because a lot of people don't know what that means i was first told brother are you saved i don't know what that meant i had no clue that's the first time i ever heard the word safe was back when i was 18 or 19 one of my friends went to a church came back and i kind of was interested to go to this christian church and i told him how to go and he said it was kind of weird these people kept asking me if i was saved this old lady came up to me she's like brother are you safe and he's like what i'm like save what is that no say from what you know all i know is that people get saved from drowning they get saved from a burning building whatever they're talking about being saved i mean i ain't going i never went but i probably should have gone and gotten saved but now when i hear the word amen it sounds great save i love hearing that word are you safe save i'm safe i i'm safe because i know what that means but creflo does not his congregation does not they don't know what salvation means because once they've always saved doesn't imply that it's eternal using that title so he takes advantage of that but how about this one once eternal always eternal all right creflo let's preach against that go ahead and try you're gonna look stupid right out the go well you can be eternal but then you can stop being eternal how the heck does that work whatever so then brother sakura if heber six is not talking about safe people you know it's like then who well let's talk a little bit more that is definitely not talking about safe people if you got your bible go to romans five let's just look at the basic clear scripture stuff that you guys have read many many times why because listen you know exactly what eternal means what does it mean but you know what i guarantee you someone someone is going to come up to you and bust out hebrew six so hopefully you remember this sermon and they're going to say hey hebrew six my friend have what do you think about hebrew six they were like what about it he's like well it looks to me like you know we can lose your salvation you better say no don't you know what eternal means i mean forever forever make sure you tell him that he's like don't you know what he means it means forever it's eternal life forever on that it's coming don't worry it's coming you'll see they were going to walk in here they're going to befriend you and be your friend and treat you right and flatter you and say this and say that and try to get you to like them and then they'll start testing the waters by saying hey what do you think about hebrew six he's like what do you think about hebrew six what do you think about hebrew six well let me ask you a question can a person go from here to there what do you mean from here to there he's specific from eternal to un-eternal it's like i don't even know is that i think that falls i even told i don't know i think he falls under a foolish question i just don't i feel if i answered i'm going to sin against god i really do i really do i'm like i'm like i'm like bro if i answer i feel like i'm going to have sinned in my life can a person go from being eternal to not being eternal are you really asking me that question right now brother i believe eternal life is a gift it's all through jesus i believe in the trinity i believe he died for my sins i believe i deserve hell i believe hell is for real it's like you're missing one crucial element is it eternal or not believe is that this marta if not guess where you're going and if anybody here is wondering about it guess where you're going because there's no wondering about it if you're safe you don't wonder about this you don't now of course if you're backslidden you don't go to independent fundamental baptist church like this one you won't wonder when great comfort comes around saying hey it says right there unless you repent you should all likewise perish and because of lack of knowledge we destroy ourselves because we struggle with that well you're right it says perish john 3 16 for god so love the world that he gave us one begotten son through server believes that he shall not perish i know perish here means hell so if he's talking about perishing over here then i guess they're referring to hell as well and if it says if i didn't repent then i'm gonna likewise perish i'm like oh i need to repent when i got saved all i said was yes i want to get saved i want to turn alive yeah i want to pray let's pray right now let's do it and i just prayed and then you say well make sure you stop no it was just like hey you want it you want to get saved i want to get saved hey you still believe you would ask jesus give eternal life and do it i sure will and if he gives it to you how long would you have it forever because it's eternal what does eternal mean forever forever and then that moment i prayed dear jesus i know him and said i know deserve hell you know but please save me give me eternal life take me to heaven to die boom i wasn't thinking of any sins at that time not a single one not tithing i wasn't thinking about that first time i ever heard about tithing was from my mormon brother he's not a mormon but he was going to a mormon church and i invited him to church and he said this i can't go to a christian church bro they want ten percent of your money i'm like what are you talking about bro that's a lie and you know it all right you know that's a lie brother next sunday hey pastor anderson or pastor as well my brother said that christians require ten percent of your paycheck well yeah that's true what are you serious what am i in the cult do you want ten percent of my money what the bible says the time you want to tie this i've never heard of that word what's the time ten percent i'm like man am i in the cold my brother was right i'm out of here bro i'm not giving this trip ten percent of my money are you serious are you serious but they were right especially when you're reading spanish you can't get away with it because the word ten in spanish is ds and the word tithe in spanish is ds mole like give mo yes more than jess you know i'm thinking oh man i'm i'm out of luck now started tithing as soon as somebody showed me what was right and once i was enlightened i didn't get received i was just shown the truth and i saw it with my own eyes and i decided to trust it just because these people were enlightened doesn't mean they trusted what they were shown they weren't but listen if you don't have enough faith to believe all these other verses we just went through i told you to go to romans five let's take a look at romans five and it says but not at the offense i love this from verse 15 and 19 listen to this if you're in romans 5 especially you you like gifts come on it's an easy question do you like gifts why i love that keyword free right you're gonna love these verses let's read but not as the offense also is the free gift romans 5 5 15 for if though if through the offense of many the offense of one many be dead much more the grace of god and the gift by grace craft flow gift by grace which is by one man jesus christ has abounded unto many verse 16 and that is it was by one is sin so it's the gift for the judgment was by one condemnation but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification for if by one man's offense death reign by one much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one jesus christ therefore is the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men at the justification of life so as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous and we know there's none righteous no not one but once you're saved that's all god sees is the blood he doesn't see your sins you're justified just as if you never sin he knows you sin he wants you to confess your sin you're still going to sin but you're clean because you're washed in the blood he washed away our sins with his own blood period so what do you see here free gift free gift free gift three times and then you see the word gift by itself three other times and what is this gift just flip the next page it's the gift of god eternal life so how could you say that you have to stay right and not get rid of this gift that's a eternal and b what kind of a moron what kind of an idiot what kind of a i don't even know what word to describe somebody that would say i know hell is real i know if you go to hell you'll never get out i know you're going to burn day in and day at night in the front of the lamb and the angels i know that but i'm still going to give up my gift i'm still going to give up my eternal life because i'm so wicked because i've screwed up so bad lord you know what just send me to hell who would be stupid enough to say hey this is never going to end but i screwed up so bad just take it lord or or how about this one all right you're not giving it up right you're not giving it up you're not going to just give it up to god you know but you know you're going to stop believing it's a gift and now somebody convinced you joseph smith russell theis from the Jehovah's witnesses mohammed so you're telling me that all of a sudden now you're part of this other religion you gave up christianity now and now you're part of this other religion you went from believing it was a free gift that doesn't cost you anything that is a hundred percent just ask god he'll give it to you no strings attached no repenting nothing now you went from believing it's a gift to now it's a reward how is that good news how is that a gospel that's bad news you come at me like yo bro you gotta start tithing in order to go to heaven that's bad news i'm like i barely have enough money to pay my rent maybe to a billionaire it's not a big deal oh i gotta start tithing no big deal you know i made 100 billion like elon musk i'll just tithe 10 billion you think it's a big deal to him but what about us poor folk you know but we're barely making it you know making 16 bucks an hour or whatever working 50 55 hours 60 hours a week you come at me with tithing bro i'm gonna be like well i'll get saved as soon as i make some money how is that better than the gift of god is eternal life you know it's like oh nothing else in it but i don't believe in this anymore now i believe it's a reward now i believe i have to live right do right pay tithes all this stuff how is that even good news so you go from great news the best news you'll ever hear in your life that god will give us eternal life and eternal life is a gift and now you believe it's a reward i'm not denouncing it but i don't believe it's a gift anymore i believe now it's a reward now you switch gospels how does that happen it's because you never trusted this gospel and your stinking prideful butt just couldn't let go of this crap that you believe and trust the word of god and you reject it and you reject it and you reject it and you reject it and sooner or later god says i'm going to reject you and give you over to a strong delusion but you don't believe once they've always saved and you can't even understand it it just hurts your mind but how many times did we see gift and free gift in romans 5 a lot and even in john 632 it talks about jesus saying hey whoever the father gives me i will know why he's cast out whoever comes to me i'll never cast you out he couldn't say that if you could lose your salvation you have to remove that word never it's not like you'll never get cast out if you denounce it that's not in there when it says you'll never die except if you denounce it that's not there either you have to believe is it eternal or not eternal what does eternal mean that means i don't never end so if it's not talking about me i don't know what else to show you to clearly prove that hebrew 6 when it says these people you cannot bring them back to repent as possible to renew them it's like it's definitely not talking about say people period there's just so many verses that just makes you say listen if you believe that there's a contradiction in the bible there has to be there's no other way to put it it's like how could jesus say it's eternal but you can lose it in hebrew 6 that's a contradiction they both can't be true so they're misinterpreting hebrew 6 and there's nowhere in hebrew 6 that says hey they were enlightened now they're saved hey they tasted the heavenly gift they're now sealed with the holy ghost hey they knew god no no no hey they were enlightened meaning that they knew the truth they were shown the truth hey they realized wow that's what the bible says they just never believed it that's it and when you cross god too much hey he has enough with you i don't think god will reject somebody who rejects him the first second third even fourth time and obviously i'm an example of that i must have rejected christianity maybe three or four times i know pastor anderson's wife rejected christianity who knows how many times i have to give her the gospel over and over and over again but eventually it was getting to the point where it's going to get sick of her if she didn't eventually you know just humble herself and admit this makes sense you're right nothing out there even comes close to the stuff you're showing me right now no other religion even comes close to what you're teaching me every other religion teaches you have to give up your life to go to heaven you're right this is the only one that teaches that god give up his life you can go to heaven if she didn't humble herself and realize that not just realize that but trusted it guess what god would have got sick of her and it would have been impossible for her to be saved once he rejected her because she rejected him for the very last time but praise the lord she came to her senses and guess what it happened sometimes i.e the apostle paul i'm pretty sure he saw steven getting stoned heard the gospel and said yeah yeah he was enlightened but he didn't get saved he saw the holy ghost in action because guess what steven was filled with the holy ghost so he saw the holy ghost in action he was right there he saw it he saw him he saw him filled with the holy ghost he saw what a person can do when he's filled with the spirit he ain't afraid of no one that's a fair man nothing and even started calling out to god saying lord jesus receive my spirit lay not this into their charge but did he get saved no was he enlightened yes did he see the holy ghost yes did he see the work of the ministry yes it was an action in front of his face but did he get saved no he rejected it didn't get saved until later on on the road to damascus that's when the lord appeared to him and told him you go talk to this guy he's going to get you saved that's when it happened so can you reject the lord yes does he automatically give you over to a reprobate mind no he does not but if you push him enough he will so heber 6 is not talking about these people that came in we're saved serving the lord all of a sudden they start getting backslidden it's going to get cold-hearted like careful says and all of a sudden they denounce it it's like i don't need it i don't need anymore i'm just going to give it up what kind of a no one does that you have a better chance of finding the bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster than to find an individual that says i believe in hell i believe i'm saved i believe i have eternal life but you know what i don't want it i don't want it i'm fine with hell i don't mind burning forever i don't mind being in pain that's worse than cutting off my hand my foot and sticking on my own eyeball out of my own skull you know i don't mind that pain forget that i'm good i'm good with that that's yeah you know what forget eternal life gotta take it back you'll find a bigfoot before you find that guy you'll probably find aliens before you find that guy i guarantee you i guarantee you will obviously i don't believe in aliens or the bigfoot there's a bunch of bombs in the woods that's all i think it is somebody with a bad camera so if it's not talking about these people is it talking about back sliders no not even because let me put it this way hey if you if you repent god is good with you i don't care who you are so i was done with him but i believe because of the nature of god and because of the other stories you see in the bible has saul said lord i'm sorry please forgive me please rescue me from these philistines i believe because of the nature of god god would have done something i think he would have gave him a few more years to live he was still done i don't think the kingdom was his he screwed up too much he shed too much innocent blood he killed 85 he had 85 holy men executed ordered to be executed and their wives and their children i think at that point god says listen it's not right for me to let you be king continue to be king but had he done that said lord a save me from these philistines i believe god would have said you know what i'm going to answer that prayer if you're a humble yourself you confess it and forsake it i think i would have done something because he does that to everyone else a bloody city full of violence you know he says hey i'm going to destroy the city you know what jonah go tell them they're done and he says hey the lord's going to destroy this city the lord's going to destroy this city the king hears it and he repents hardcore he's throwing he's like fasting and he's telling everybody hey don't feed animals don't give him drain don't give him food let's show god we're serious man every second you possibly can forget about eating we're trying to save our lives hey let's just pray in god and hopefully he changes his mind and he did and he did and a half another wicked king that killed innocent people hey he cried out to god and say god i'm sorry and god forgave him god forgave him but how about this guy this guy was with prostitutes this guy was doing his own thing this guy kind of forsook the lord married a philistine woman and guess what god punished them and this guy he he got punished hard but yet god still answered him let's take a look at this guy it's in judges 16 judges 16 if you can get there judges 16 verse 29 it says this you can go ahead and meet me in verse 30 i'll read verse 29 in fact i'll read verse 28 while you go to verse 30 it says in judges 16 28 and samson called on the lord by what happened to samson samson got backslidden samson screwed up samson went to prostitutes samson was a mess was he not samson was saved hey he screwed up but even samson at the very last second did something amazing he killed the leaders of the philistines and previous nation what is this message you know about is about a until your very last breath god can give an opportunity to do something big no matter how bad you screwed up in the past no matter how bad he has chastised you in the past for being so dumb and getting out of his will and screwing up and sinning god says hey hey you you you get punished you know hey you get that straight i'm gonna i'm gonna do something until your very last breath and this is what happened look what it says in verse 30 and samson said let me die with the philistines why because he wanted to free his nation it's like hey i got three thousand of these guys with me it's like lord just answer this prayer help me to free these people help me to die i'm gonna go out with a bang if you couldn't renew these people to repentance you couldn't pray this if this guy was so backslidden and he was he was so messed up and he was he's an example what happens when you screw up i mean think about this this punishment that came upon him getting arrested his eyes poked that was the god god just let him get punished you know and so of course these people that supposedly are going to church and they're enlightened they partake of the holy ghost and these people all of a sudden just get back shouldn't and leave it's like those people are done we cannot get those people back we can't no longer pray for those people until they're dead keep praying for that same brother unless a sin there's a sin unto death the bible says hey keep praying for that individual obviously they're committing adultery that's a sin that's worthy of death you have to deliver them over and at that time they were punishing people for adultery with that you can't do that in 2022 but you can kick them out the church they get busted for adultery they don't repent they don't say i'm sorry they say hey you know what that's that's my business not your business they're gone they're done cast them out hey deliver them out to satan you know to help them get right for the destruction of the flesh that maybe even if they're not saved the soul may get saved but you know what if you're still alive you think god wants you to continue in sin it's like yeah this guy forsaken me i can't renew him to repentance it's impossible to renew this guy to repentance i'm just gonna let him live so you can just send it up that's not what the bible says god says go and say no more so it's definitely not talking about anyone who leaves the church who gets a little backslidden and ends up taking off back into the world and sure enough he ends up skipping church for a month two months three months it's like hey don't worry about those guys impossible to renew them you'd be surprised people that get backslidden one phone call they're back they're back happened to me i got backslidden when i was young i got backslidden i wasn't even married i'm going to church like a bachelor and got into it with my pastor i left for two weeks but you know what was funny i was backslidden for two weeks and every time my phone rang because i didn't have cell phones at the time every time my phone rang i was hoping it would be the pastor just checking on me isn't that weird hoping it would just say hey brother girl how you doing hey i know i know we we basically left off on a bad foot i want to say i love you i'm praying for you and you know what hey if you want to come back come back it didn't happen but every time it rang i was hoping it would be him because inside i don't want to be backslidden but you know we all need help we all need help when we're in a backslidden state and be like brother just get back you're right man thanks for waking me up thanks for for for edifying me building me up you know what i'll be in church this sunday it does happen but according to these people well we're not saying because you got the crowd like crying for a dollar hebrew six is talking about save individuals that renounce their salvation and now they're done they could never get saved look at all the verses about eternal what does eternal mean and when do we get it craft low dollar whosoever liveth and believeth in him shall never die in this life not after we die if we make it to the end in dirt to the end which is what they believe you got to speak in tongues about that one about that one hey brother you can't get stabilized to speak in tongues so none of us are safe they just condemn all of us that don't speak in texas that's what he said in the sermon he's like if you're saved if you're really a child of the god and the evidence is if you are the holy ghost because you speak in tongues then you know what hey you cannot send away your salvation so if they don't see any tongue speaking they don't consider yourself they don't so none of you guys are saying we're going to crepe low dollar none of you guys because none of you guys bark like a dog roll around the aisles you know are out of the driver's seat and don't realize what's going on until you fall backwards and they wake you up like what happened you spoke in tongues bro yeah now we can add to the church but then you got the other crowd about hebrew six it says this oh it's just backsliders we're not saying those are safe people we're saying those are safe people that had just backslidden they backslides too much god can't use them anymore you know why they say that here's why they say that because these people that aren't even saved themselves they get people saved in their own minds and these people go to church but they're not saved and then sure enough we show up and we give them the true gospel they don't believe it well my pastor says you need to repent unless you repent you shall likewise perish my brother said no you need to he that believes in his baptize you need baptism when i tell what the bible says you don't know your bible my pastor told me this my pastor told me that you know they trust this heretic straight to hell these are the people that later on become reprobate these are the people that you hear about without knocking doors i've got a question you know can a person who's saved become a homo because i knew this guy i know he's a homo you know and they don't understand and then people that obviously are like asking questions in these false churches they're like what's going on with my cousin he was faithful he went he went to church he was in the band all of a sudden he got caught with him dude now he's an atheist now he's a full-blown homo now he's supporting the lgbt community oh Hebrew 6 Hebrew 6 you know that's what they'll bring up Hebrew 6 Hebrew 6 you know it's like hey hey it's just right there once once you're saved i'm not saying they lost their salvation but they still make you think the Hebrew 6 let's talk about save people but now they're backslidden and it says it's impossible to renew them because they don't get people saved and as long as they're in that church they get worse and worse and worse and worse and when they finally you know become reprobate and they go all the way down and they become homeless guess what ends up happening people get confused like what he's a homo now he was married with three kids he left his wife with some dude and he said pastor what's going on Hebrew 6 Hebrew 6 he got backslidden now it's impossible to renew him now he's a fact for life you know at least they believe that facts are facts for life because it's impossible to renew them after this i haven't figured it out but false brothers false teachers have figured it out but they twist Hebrew 6 you know so if it obviously is not talking about save people you know whether because obviously you got the crowd it says Hebrew 6 says you can lose your salvation false eternal means what he lost me already forever you have eternal life it's forever nothing can undo it then you got the other fault teaching about Hebrew 6 that hey we're not saying that they lost their salvation we're just saying that if a christian backslides it could get to the point where whatever their sins they're in it's impossible to help them repent you know they become a homo they were saved but now because it got so sinful hey they can't lead that lifestyle it's impossible to to renew them to repentance that's a false doctrine as well then who is Hebrew 6 talking about false brethren false brethren how do we know well let's take a look go to Matthew 13 go to Matthew 13 meet me in verse number 24 i'm gonna try to finish in five minutes but i'm gonna read from 2nd Corinthians 11 that says this thrice was i beaten with rods once was i stoned thrice i suffer shipwreck a night and a day have been in the deep in journeys often in perils of waters in perils of robbers in perils by my own countrymen in perils by the heat and in perils in the city in perils in the wilderness in perils in the seas in perils among false brethren false brethren there is such a thing as false brethren and that's what you see in these mega churches they're false brethren and guess what they're not just the mega churches they'll come in our church as well how do we know you're right there in Matthew let's take a look Matthew 13 24 says this an hour parable put he forth unto them saying the kingdom of heaven is like in a man which sowed good seed in his field but while man slept his enemy came and sold tears among the wheat and went his way but when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit then appeared the terrace also so the servants of the householder came and said out to him sirs does not doubt sow good seed in that field from whence then hath the tears he sent out to them and the enemy has done this the service sent out to him without then the week go and gather them up but he said nay that's why you gather up the tears you rid up also the wheat with them let both grow together onto the harvest and the time of the harvest i would say to the reapers gather ye together first the terrors and bind them in bundles to burn them if i gather the wheat into my barn for these tears these are false brethren that the devil plants in churches like this in churches like ours guess what it's going to happen and it's always going to happen until christ returns and he you know says and even dead during the millennia rain it's still going to happen you're going to have false brethren pretending that they believe on christ and at the end of the thousand years saying it's going to be loose and these people are just going to run after Satan to get destroyed so who is Hebrew 6 talking about not talking about save people it's not talking about you losing your salvation it's talking about a these people that are with us guess what they pushed us so far there's going to get to the point where they don't they don't believe what they've been shown and it's going to be impossible to get these people saved because god's finally going to just say enough it's enough you're done i'm rejecting you i'm giving you over i'm giving you over and the verse of that talks about false brethren it's also in galatians you know i want you to go ahead and go to um go ahead and go to romans 121 in galatians uh two says the same thing it says and that because of false brethren you see that false brethren so who are these Hebrew 6 people that fall away and you can no longer renew them those are false brethren false brethren you go to romans 121 i'm going to read from first john 219 it says this they went out from us but they were not of us for if they have been of us they would no doubt have continued with us but they went out that they might be manifest that they were not all of us you know what is he saying these Hebrew 6 people they were not of us they're not saved you know they were never saved they were enlightened they were in church they heard the gospel they went out soul winning they heard me preach that heard you preach they heard us say that it's a gift a hundred thousand times and yet they still want to hold on to the stupid doctrine because maybe they were brainwashed as children that Hebrew 6 is talking about saved people and they just could not let that go that they end up just saying oh you know what i'm going to test it out they come to our church the infantry at our church they hear what we got to say but because they don't realize that they've been given over everything doesn't make sense you know they literally think well i believe eternal is a gift but can you go to this side i'm like what side but they don't have it anymore yeah test in the waters no it's like how do you even answer that what part of eternal don't you understand i can understand if you doubt your salvation but you're not doubting your salvation you're doubting what salvation is that is truly eternal that's what's happening here but romans one these are the people look at this because when they knew god they were enlightened but did they get saved and romans one in case you don't know i know you guys know you this is this is pure words we know romans one is reprobates amen these are the hebrew six people these are the enlightened ones these are the partakers of the holy ghost because our work is of the holy ghost when they go so many with us they're partaking in the work of the holy ghost but it doesn't mean they're sealed with the holy ghost not even close but it says clearly they knew god they glorify him not as god and they weren't thankful let me put it this way people that don't believe eternal life is a gift that's nothing to be thankful for because they believe it's a reward and why would you thank someone for earning something that's a reward that's just a fact but us who are safe and understand salvation we're thankful every second of the day lord thank you for saving me thank you for showing me eternal life is a gift and if you don't believe it's a gift you believe it's a reward and why would you be thankful you think the guy that wins a gold medal at the race is thanking people for putting the medal over his neck he's like give me that put it on my neck isn't that what they're thinking they're not like well thank you for my medal no way are they thankful they're like man finally all that hard work paid off they're not thinking straight thank you awesome wow thank you thank you they're not thinking that they're thinking man it took me years to get here finally my dreams come true they have nothing to be thankful for and that's what these reprobates are doing they're not thankful because they don't believe that it's by faith they believe the opposite and they reject god and they reject god and they reject god and this is what happens so dreadful dollar is halfway right it says they became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened but they were never safe to begin with period and the nature of god is simple here's the nature of god you don't have to go there you can go to proverbs 28 if you want but i'll finish up with these numbers 14 says the long the lord is long suffering and of great mercy forgiven iniquity and transgressions by no means clearing the guilty visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation pardon this is moses talking to the lord pardon i beseech the the iniquity of these people according to the greatness of thy mercy and as thou has forgiven this people from egypt even until now and the lord said i have pardoned according to thy word now you might not have gotten it but this is numbers ready went through exodus now we're in numbers they have provoked the lord so much from exodus all the way to this point they have pushed them and pushed them and pushed them and yet god still gives them a second chance wouldn't it be impossible to renew these people if these people were all saved and hebrew 6 was about saved people that can no longer be renewed to repentance they can no longer get right with the lord when the lord says clearly that my hand is stretched out all the day long ready to pardon ready to pardon anybody that wants it hey he'll give it to you but why why did he finally come down on egypt not egypt i'm sorry the turn of israel look what he says but as truly as i live all the earth should be filled with the glory of the lord because all those men the one that he just pardoned the one that moses says forgive them he says all these my this man which have seen my glory they were enlightened they were enlightened they saw the glory of the lord with the miracles think about the the recede think about that one and yet they still are hard-hearted they still don't believe they're enlightened they see it and they're not thankful they got saved their hides and didn't let them get slaughtered by the egyptians and he did miracle after miracle and it says right there they saw my glory they saw my miracles which i did in egypt and in the wilderness and have tempted me now these ten times think about that ten times and he still didn't come down on them that's how merciful god is that's how merciful he is that's his nature he doesn't come down on you right away when you sin when you provoke him when you upset him the first second third fourth fifth six seven eight nine ten but it's making it clear to moses i'm about to reject these guys permanently they've done it to me ten times they were enlightened they partook of my work and yet they still don't believe in me if these guys fall away i'm done with them it's going to be impossible to renew them because what much is given much is required and once these people reject all his miracles and you saw what he said they saw my glory they rejected my miracles which i did in egypt in the wilderness and they're still provoking me they're still not trusting me you know what i'm just going to give them over i'm going to give them over to rip away mine but for the rest of us who are saved i'll just read this verse proverbs 28 13 he that covers the sins shall not prosper that was king psalm's fault he kept making excuses for his sins he kept saying it was the people he kept saying i am doing the lord i'm doing the lord's work i am obeying the lord but look what it says if you cover your sins you're not going to prosper that was his problem david's problem was not that he was hiding his senses against the india alone having done this wickedness when he threw your eye and committed adultery he flat out said i've done sin i've committed sin and anyone anyone like the bible says anyone that confesses and forsake their sins shall have mercy in other words they can be renewed to repentance it doesn't say except if they finally just push god too far and they just fall away these safe christians can no longer be forgiven they can no longer be be brought to repentance but that's not what hebrew six is talking about hebrew six is about false brethren all day long so when they come to us school that name was a temptation and they tell you hebrew six hebrew six is about safe people they've lost their chance they've lost their salvation what are you going to do they're like no it's not talking about say people talk about false brethren hebrew six just remember this hebrew six you'll remember this false brethren that's the answer what do you think of this you say that's false brethren haven't you read john 316 john 336 john 647 john 10 11 and the rest of them that's your answer you understand this coming it's coming may not be today may not be tomorrow but you'll get these false brethren the tears hey they're coming they're about to be planted if they're not planted yet and this is how they start out why do you think of hebrew six why do you think i'm after 2541 what do you think of this what do you think of that and the answer is simple it's like dude read john 316 i don't know how to answer that besides reading read it and believe it amen let's pray there god thanks so much for all that you've done lord thank you for these people i know it's not easy to come to church on a Wednesday or on a Thursday night but nevertheless their father likes you to please bless him keep them safe and father is you know we're in a war spiritual war of course and let's just help us to stay nice and ready to fight these wars lord these battles as they come and lord for those that are struggling with hebrew six lord obviously it is what it is their father just need to get saved and for those that obviously think is referring to safe people that can no longer be used by the lord father that's just false doctrine period you know the scriptures teach us everywhere that there's people who are messed up bad and yet you still went and used them to do mighty things lord so just help us to know the truth and help us to preach the truth in the name of your son just
