1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,800 It's a wonderful joy to see the presence of everyone tonight. 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,080 We have a wonderful crowd and we appreciate the fact that you are 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,600 here and that you may put forth the effort to be here. 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,920 I know some of you driven quite a distance, and we totally 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,760 understand that. And we appreciate the time, the 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,200 effort that you put forth to support this gospel meeting and 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,200 to be here as we sing and we pray together. 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,840 The prayers have been wonderful. The songs have been well 9 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,960 selected and we want to now study a portion. 10 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:37,800 Of God's Word, one of the most requested topics in my preaching 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,440 and especially in the work that I do in personal work workshops, 12 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,160 whether just one-on-one or or. A. 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,560 Group of someone people wanted to study about workshops and 14 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,480 learning how to do personal work and things of that nature. 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,080 But one most important topic is what's written on the board. 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,880 What saved always saved people all over the country have told 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,640 them they said, listen nearly every one of our friends, they 18 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,000 believe what's saved always saved that once you've got it 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,440 you're taking punch to heaven. It's always punched and you're 20 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,040 not worried about it anymore. But I thought that'd be really 21 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,080 nice if it were true. The fact is it's not true and I 22 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,240 want to show you from the Bible book chapter verse here they are 23 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,080 on the board any of these first and now to you that are 24 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,720 accustomed to following maybe some preaching that I do around 25 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,080 the country or on YouTube or at Oklahoma City or wherever and 26 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,040 you're in the group of different ones who are doing Bible 27 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,120 markings. This would be a possibility if 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,480 you choose to utilize it that you can have it under what's 29 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,440 saved, always saved. And then if you want to use one 30 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,400 or more of these 12 year to do so, use whatever amount you want 31 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,360 to. We've numbered these from left 32 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,360 to right to make it real easy to follow and your Bible studies 33 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,919 with people. And not only that, you know, we 34 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,480 do like we do in all of our sermons in the morning because 35 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,640 we want people to understand what it is we're preaching. 36 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:18,160 You know, we don't abbreviate books of the Bible. 37 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,120 It's rarely you'll see me abbreviate that. 38 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,120 It's only because not because you don't know it, but visitors 39 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,480 sometimes don't know. And if you abbreviate a book of 40 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,960 the Bible, they don't have clues which one you'll want it. 41 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,280 And therefore I'd like to have it where everyone who chooses to 42 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,600 either take a picture of the board or write down what's on 43 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,440 the board that they are equipped to find the passage that we are 44 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,960 referring to. It's just so important. 45 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:52,480 A few minor details of change and presenting a message like 46 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,960 full you know, a verse of Scripture that you put the book 47 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,680 chapter and verse. Here you spell out the word. 48 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,400 These are so simple but it helps people. 49 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,760 Have you ever read a book where they had an abbreviation and you 50 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,360 wondered what does that even mean? 51 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,200 Where does that go? You know, a lot of times we 52 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,000 don't know because it's just not a normal school of thought of 53 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,880 where we're at. However, tonight you don't have 54 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,080 that problem. We have all the books of the 55 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,760 Bible written out. We have it all laid out to make 56 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,960 it real clear and what we're going to do. 57 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,040 I am not going to give you the history of what saved always 58 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,480 saved. That is about a 20 minute part 59 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,840 of the presentation that I've chosen to leave out of this 60 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,480 particular lesson. What we want to do, we want to 61 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,560 focus attention, time and effort and absolute attention to the 62 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,880 fact of proving this theory. What's saved always saved is 63 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,520 incorrect. What does incorrect mean? 64 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,120 It means anti biblical. It is not according to the 65 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,520 Bible. Therefore, it's going to be 66 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,840 really easy. We can March right along through 67 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,720 these 12 passages. There's many more we could go 68 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,680 to. I have chosen these 12 because 69 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,320 they have proven to me to be more effective. 70 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,800 When I study with people one-on-one or their family and 71 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,240 myself or someone that I take with me or whatever the case may 72 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:23,440 be, I will gain more progress with these 12 verses, even six 73 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,800 of the 12, and we'll talk about these as we go along. 74 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,280 Now, what we're going to emphasize here, each of these 75 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,160 verses, standing alone, will help you to answer. 76 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,040 Do you believe in what's saved, always saved? 77 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,320 No, you don't believe that. I doubt if there's anybody here 78 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,760 that believes that. If so, then please listen 79 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,480 carefully and do you that are eager and enthusiastic and talk 80 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,280 to your friends and your family and whoever you can about this 81 00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:54,160 topic, have these verses. They'll be your new best friend. 82 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,440 They will help you be effective in showing people what the Word 83 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,280 of God said. So let's begin. 84 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:04,440 Point #1 and Luke the 8th chapter, verse 13. 85 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,960 Now, Luke 8 is a parallel passage of Matthew 13. 86 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,160 Most times when you're talking about the parable of the sower, 87 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,800 people go to Matthew 13. That's fine. 88 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,880 Matthew 13, the great place. However, I've chosen by the 89 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,520 wording of Luke 813 to use the Luke passage. 90 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,640 I will briefly say this. In Matthew's account, verses 3 91 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,400 through 9, the Lord gave the parable of the sword and then 92 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,480 verses 18 through 23, Jesus told us what the parable meant. 93 00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,440 I wish he did that with everyone, this parable, It would 94 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,040 be a whole lot more than me and you trying to figure out what 95 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,480 did he mean by that? He tells us what it means. 96 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,720 He gives a parable to Matthew 13. 97 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,880 He tells us what it means here. And the 8th verses 18th to 23. 98 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,040 Well, Luke also gives a parable does not go into as much detail 99 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:04,840 as what Jesus did, but it's really pretty important and very 100 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:07,280 impressive how he addresses this. 101 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,880 So let's look. Together in Luke the 8th 102 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,640 chapter. I just want to read this one 103 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,200 verse. I'm not talking all about. 104 00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,800 Not the powerful sword, because that's not the thrust of today's 105 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,600 lesson, but Luke 813 is a thrust and here's what it says. 106 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,840 The word of God said then on they on the rock are they which 107 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:34,280 here receive the word with joy, having no root, but which for a 108 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:39,080 while they believe, but in time of temptation they fall away. 109 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:48,480 See people when they have Matthew said thorns or stones. 110 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,960 Whenever this occurs in Luke the 8th chapter, you find out that 111 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,200 people are overtaken because of the mere fact that they have 112 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,560 allowed the cares of this life to choke out the word and people 113 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,760 become unfruitful. When people become unfruitful, 114 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,240 the Bible teaches here in Luke 813, they fall away. 115 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,040 Now listen, when you fall away, that proves to you what saved 116 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,280 always saying is not a true doctrine. 117 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,080 It violates this one passage Luke 813 and Lord be willing 118 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,400 before we conclude tonight we can show you 12 passages that 119 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,400 evaluate then violates many others. 120 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,520 I'm just selecting these twelve OK number two and 1st strength 121 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,000 in nine and 27. I love this passage. 122 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:44,280 The apostle Paul is Speaking of himself, and he's making a point 123 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,440 that every one of us need to understand, Paul said in First 124 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,160 Corinthians 9 and 27. I keep under my own body, and I 125 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,960 bring it under subjection, lest that I try and preach to others, 126 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600 get a hold of this. I myself should be castaway. 127 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,480 I mean, that's hard for me to fathom. 128 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:11,160 I can remember a time in my earlier preaching years it never 129 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,640 crossed my mind that Paul would ever be a castaway or he would 130 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,520 lose his soul. The man that wrote fourteen of 131 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,520 the 27 books of the Bible, the man that had that miraculous 132 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,480 event happened in the book of Acts and Outs chapter. 133 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,200 We had that conversation with Jesus and he said, who art thou, 134 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,440 Lord? And Jesus said, I am Jesus and 135 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,440 now you're persecuted. And it's quite a conversation 136 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840 that they had. But let me tell you something, 137 00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,200 Paul the apostle makes it abundantly clear. 138 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,920 And I want every man, woman, boy and girl here to get this point 139 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,600 in Chapter 9 and 27 to keep your own body under subjection, 140 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,720 practice self-control in your life. 141 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,160 I have a study that I love to study for myself. 142 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,760 I need this and that is self-control and I've strutted 143 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,280 this off and on for several years because I know me and I 144 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,880 need that. It affects many parts of my life 145 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,160 that I need to practice self-control and the Word of God 146 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,640 teaches here. Paul said I keep under my own 147 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,760 body. I'll watch after my own self 148 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,920 after I preach to you. I can be a castaway. 149 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,560 That is a sobering thought. Now this passage is not on the 150 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:29,600 board, but if you want to write one, put parentheses on it. 151 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,920 Write James 3 verse one. Where James said, be not many 152 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,520 teachers, for they shall receive the great condemnation. 153 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,040 Ouch. I mean, that almost makes you 154 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,360 not want to be a preacher. I mean, you're James three one. 155 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,320 You're under greater condemnation. 156 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,680 The Lord is going to look at you and judge you according to how 157 00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:55,160 effective you've handled the word of God. 158 00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:58,560 This is very, very important today. 159 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,000 Whenever you tell somebody something biblically, 160 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:08,160 spiritually, it is imperative that you make sure that you're 161 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,320 telling them what the Bible says. 162 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,440 Book, chapter, verse. You share with them the Word of 163 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,400 God. No whiffs, no ads, no butts. 164 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,280 No, I think it could be this way, or it could be that way, or 165 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,280 it may be another way. I don't want to hear that. 166 00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:26,720 Give them book, chapter, verse. Give them a scripture. 167 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,960 Jesus said this, God's word said this Holy Spirit inspired that. 168 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,440 Let people know what the word of God said. 169 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,680 Don't worry about what you say or what I say. 170 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,240 That's very immature as far as being very valuable. 171 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,880 No, no, what's important is what the God's word say and that's 172 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,400 exactly what we find here in 1st 2927. 173 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,160 Paul said I've got to really watch out for old Allen, or in 174 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,760 his case old Paul Blessed after I. 175 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,200 Preach to you, I could be a castaway. 176 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,080 My dear friend, I don't want you to ever lose your soul. 177 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,600 I've dedicated my life to try to help people go to heaven. 178 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,440 I'm very fortunate. I do realize I lived in the 179 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,120 household of my family. My dad who was an evangelist, 180 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,880 who was an elder of the congregation in LaGrange, GA. 181 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,120 Not all of that. I live 4 houses down from my 182 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,680 grandfather EH Miller, who was an evangelist but he's also an 183 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:26,920 elder. And all of my life, or at least 184 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,440 all of my life from adolescent years on up, he was an elder and 185 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,640 there was other elders in the congregation. 186 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,480 But that was a great joy. And I learned a lot and and I 187 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,080 listened a lot. And I wanted to be like they 188 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,600 were, not all of them, but other people like them. 189 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,640 That love the Lord enough and they will make personal 190 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,040 sacrifices to do the right thing and and be the right person. 191 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,080 But that's what's important here. 192 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:57,400 Well, Paul, addressing in no uncertain term, watch out for 193 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,080 yourself. I've got a lesson. 194 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,320 I brought it with you, but I'm not have time to preach. 195 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,040 You know this go around. But that is simply this. 196 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,120 Take heed unto yourself. Self examination is very very 197 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,080 important. That's what Paul has mentioned, 198 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,000 without using the terminology I keep under my own. 199 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,040 Self, I take you to yourself and he's talking about what he does 200 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,120 for himself. Very important number three. 201 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,520 Look at the very next chapter. You make me even flip a page or 202 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,440 you may not even need to in your Bible first print in the 10th 203 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,880 chapter verse 12, the apostle Paul said wherefore my brethren, 204 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:40,120 I want you to take heed lest ye fall 1st Corinthians 10 and 205 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,080 verse 12. Now take a good look at that 206 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,040 passage. Now don't lose the title once 207 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,160 saved, always saved. This task we have on this 208 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,440 section of our preaching. We're going to use these 12 209 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,480 passages to show this is a false doctrine. 210 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,640 Now you're going to hear this taught on radio, no television 211 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,400 on Internet. You'll hear it talk with anybody 212 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,000 in the denomination of the world. 213 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Majority of the people going to teach you once they would always 214 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,240 say they will talk about how great this person was or that 215 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,760 person was and and people are going to leave the convey the 216 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,400 edge they're right with the Lord, they're going to heaven 217 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,120 when they die. I'll tell you something today. 218 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,280 I want people to be saved. Those outside the church God 219 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,560 will judge according to First Corinthians chapter 5, verse 13. 220 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,720 We judge those within same passage 1st 25 and verse 13. 221 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,640 But what's important is what did Paul say? 222 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,920 I want you to get this, and I don't want you to miss one point 223 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,480 of what Paul said in 1st 2010. Twelve Paul said, Wherefore, 224 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,480 brethren, I want you to take heed. 225 00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:50,440 Be alert, be conscious, be aware, take heed, lest ye fall. 226 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,920 Do what? Fall. 227 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,120 Let's see what fall. What saved? 228 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,720 Always saved. Now listen. 229 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:06,720 Would the apostle Paul have ever warned us about falling if we 230 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,080 could never fall to begin with? Would he have ever warned you? 231 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,480 Now don't do this. It's impossible to do anyway. 232 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,440 He would never warn you about doing something you cannot do to 233 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,120 begin with. He doesn't you, you really can't 234 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,720 fall, but just be careful that you don't. 235 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,880 No, no, no. He let him be laying on breath. 236 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,160 I want you to be on your guard. I want you to be alert. 237 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,400 I want you to be conscious. Be aware that you could fall 238 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,440 just like the previous chapter. In Chapter 9 and 27, Paul said I 239 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,560 can fall. Now in chapter 10 says you can 240 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,360 fall. He's driving a point home very, 241 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,120 very clear and that is that we all should stay true to the 242 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,440 course. The course is set forth by Jesus 243 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,760 Christ and his apostles and other inspired men of God is so 244 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,520 wonderful. And here Paul is saying to the 245 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,080 Corinthian church, a great congregation that had a lot of 246 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,840 issues. I'm not knocking that, but there 247 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,880 there were new converts. The congregation was newly 248 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,240 established and we we're at Rodney at home at 20 1st St. in 249 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,440 Oklahoma City. We're focusing in on every 250 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,520 Wednesday night. We're studying more and more of 251 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,720 First Corinthian. As a matter of fact, Lord be 252 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,640 willing, when I get home on Monday afternoon, on Wednesday, 253 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,800 I'm going to start in on explaining First Corinthians. 254 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,600 Chapter seven got 40 verses. No, I'm not doing one lesson and 255 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,680 maybe two, maybe 3. But it's very, very important 256 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,800 because these are very important truths and it's teaching people 257 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,640 if you do these things, you'll go to heaven. 258 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,200 If you don't, you won't. And they're all referring to 259 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,200 marriage type questions. Well, here we find in first in 260 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,640 1012, Paul said, I want to be honest with you brethren, here's 261 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,640 the deal. You've got to take heedless to 262 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,400 fall. Paul would have never warned us 263 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160 about falling if we can never fall. 264 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,280 That's one of the ways you can know without any shadow of doubt 265 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,160 that once saved, always saved to the false doctrine, because Paul 266 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,960 would have never told the Church of Carpent you got to watch out 267 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,120 unless you fall, if they could not fall anyway. 268 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,600 But that's not it doesn't take a rocket. 269 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,400 Scientist to grab that point. All right, let's look at #4 270 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:23,080 Galatians one verse 6 through 9. This is one of the rarities of 271 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,760 Scripture. You're going to see Paul 272 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,680 repeating himself. And in Galatians one, I want to 273 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,280 look at the passages. I'm going to read verses 6 274 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,080 through 9, and then I'm going to explain them, but I'm going to 275 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,920 read them without comment. I want you to take a good look 276 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,000 at what we're finding here because what we're finding here 277 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,440 is so very important and it's going to really be a genuine 278 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,400 help to us. So would you go with me to the 279 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,640 Book of Galatians, chapter one, verses 6 through 9? 280 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,880 Now what we find here, let me give you a little bit of history 281 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,600 behind the congregation of Galatia. 282 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,880 The brethren Galatia were good people, just like every 283 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,000 congregation mentioned in the New Testament, those 14 from 284 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,880 Romans through Thessalonica, wonderful Christians with a lot 285 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,520 of challenges and difficulties. And those seven churches of 286 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,359 Asia, wonderful people, but have some problems. 287 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,040 They have some strength, but they have some weaknesses. 288 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,720 Guess what? They're just like me and just 289 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,839 like you. We are not perfect, We make 290 00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:28,960 mistakes, we sin, and we need to learn to get rid of our sins. 291 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,920 Now what we find in Galatian, the Galatian Christians, they 292 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:41,840 were born under the Mosaic Law, the Law of Moses before the Lord 293 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,320 of Christ came into effect. They were born under that law. 294 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,080 They wanted to hang tight under that law, the Mosaic Law. 295 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,400 They do not want to turn it loose, however, they wanted to 296 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,920 embrace Jesus Christ and crucified. 297 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,440 They wanted to embrace grace and truth that came by Jesus. 298 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,800 They wanted that. But here's what they really 299 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,120 wanted. One hand on the Old Testament, 300 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:08,720 one hand on the New Testament, and they wanted to ride it out. 301 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,080 Guess what? It can't be done, can't do it. 302 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,640 Is it possible to go by both lawns at the same time? 303 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,320 And this is what has been addressed right here. 304 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,680 And Paul the apostle said these words. 305 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,160 And I'm going to read these passages from the King James 306 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,200 Version, the passes that I preach out. 307 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,880 Of most of the time and Galatians chapter one, verse six 308 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,080 and nine. Let's listen carefully what Paul 309 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,760 said. Please listen. 310 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,360 I'm marvel. That means I'm amazed. 311 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,040 I marvel that you're so soon removed from him. 312 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,200 They called you into the grace of Christ, and to another gospel 313 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,320 which is not another. But there be some that trouble 314 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,480 you. I would pervert the gospel of 315 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,960 Christ, but though we or anything from heaven, preach any 316 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,600 other gospel unto you than thou which we preach. 317 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,000 Let him be accursed. I like this part. 318 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,240 This is what's unique different about Paul's writing here. 319 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:09,040 He said as I've said before, so say I now again, if any man 320 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:15,040 preach any other gospel than what I preach to you, let him be 321 00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:18,160 a curse. Galatians one verse six and 322 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,320 nine. Now when you look back up here, 323 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,240 verse six and seven when he said I marvel or I'm amazed that 324 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,200 you're so soon removed. Things were new Christians and 325 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,440 they were quick to fall away and Paul said please listen to me. 326 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,640 I am amazed. I am shocked that you're so soon 327 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,200 removed and going into another gospel. 328 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,240 But he said which is not another. 329 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,480 Now many of your translation, if you're using an up to date 330 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,240 modern translation, it will word it slightly different, but 331 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:57,160 perhaps more clear, more clear than the King James, what you'll 332 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,320 probably find and your passage here. 333 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,200 And I want to talk with you a little bit about this because 334 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,200 this is very, very important. I want to talk about this word 335 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:13,160 another because what Paul said is very, very interesting when 336 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,000 he says that. I'm so amazed that you're moved 337 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,640 to another gospel which is not another. 338 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,920 Did he contradict himself? No, he didn't contradict. 339 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,960 Himself, let us never think that No, no, no, he used two 340 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,920 different Greek words. Two different words, two 341 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,880 different Greek words, one English word, the word another. 342 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,280 Now you'll find out two different Greek words used here. 343 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,200 And here's one of the Greek words. 344 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,960 Alas, this. Is very important you find this 345 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,920 word, alas, and it simply means a lot. 346 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,440 You'll see some Greek studies call it the same. 347 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,880 Now there's another Greek word for the English word, another, 348 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,960 and this is heteros, HETEROS, heteros. 349 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,200 Now heteros talks about something that is different. 350 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,080 This is very important and I ask you to pay very close attention 351 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,000 because this here will help to understand and appreciate the 352 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,600 teaching of Galatians from chapter one to chapter 6. 353 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,200 It's very, very important. So he's saying, here I am marvel 354 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,760 that you're so soon removing him, that causing the grace of 355 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:41,000 Christ into another gospel, another of a different gospel, 356 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,680 which is not another of the same kind. 357 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,480 You follow me, he said. I am amazed that you're so soon 358 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,360 removed to follow something different, which is not the same 359 00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:56,880 thing. It's not alike what you've 360 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,480 already obeyed. So Paul the Apostle is driving 361 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,760 this point very much home with these people, letting the 362 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,160 Galatians know you have made a move in the wrong direction. 363 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,240 You have gone after something that is totally different than 364 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,440 what we have presented, totally different than what you've 365 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,960 already obeyed. It's you're not going after. 366 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,880 Something that's just like what you've obeyed. 367 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,520 You're not going after the same thing. 368 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,400 No, no, you're going after something totally different, a 369 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:33,240 heteros, a different gospel. My dear friends, today that 370 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,880 shows you and that shows me the possibility of falling. 371 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,440 The reality. These Galatian Christians have 372 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,880 done just what you did. They obeyed the gospel of 373 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,480 baptism. They became son and daughters of 374 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,240 God Almighty. They became brothers and sisters 375 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,480 of those that were living in that day and time. 376 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,720 This is wonderful, but this is huge that we understand. 377 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,000 All of this comes from Galatians 1 verses 6 through 9 and 378 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,320 learning the difference between a loss of verse 6 and heteros of 379 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,320 verse 7. Grabbing this, being able to 380 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,920 share with your friends, looking at your translation of 381 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,640 preference, whichever one that you may be using it will help to 382 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,240 understand what we're writing right here. 383 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,560 Matter of fact, many of your version will very likely use the 384 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:28,640 word alike, which is not alike what you have, and it also used 385 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,520 the word different, but not every one of them There. 386 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,720 I've read many many versions of it, but you get the. 387 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Point We're proven by this passage the possibility of 388 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,360 falling. I want everybody to know that I 389 00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:44,640 don't want you to believe me. Get a hold of this and please 390 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,520 listen. I don't want you to get to the 391 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,280 point that you believe the likelihood is you're going to 392 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,480 fall because that's not right. I don't want you to. 393 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,680 Well, I'll probably go to hell. No, that's not right in there. 394 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,080 I want you to be mad enough, woman enough. 395 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,000 Strong enough that you're a resistant of the Satan of sin, 396 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,160 of evil, and all those wicked things the devil puts before 397 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,920 you. You let people know I'm 398 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,960 dedicated to serving the Lord. This is real, true, loyal 399 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,440 commitment to you. I'm going to stay following the 400 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,400 Allah's Gospel, same thing that he preached. 401 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,800 I'm going to obey everyone of you in this assembly who are new 402 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,160 converts in the last three months, six months, a year, two 403 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,320 years. Everyone of you here who was 404 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,000 born and raised in the Lord's Church, every one of us here. 405 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:42,160 It is so imperative that we stay true to God's Word and we let 406 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,880 nothing get in our way of being faithful. 407 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,160 All the way to the day that we die for the Lord comes back. 408 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:56,280 This is huge and we have learned from reading Galatians 169 how 409 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,560 it is and what he really meant. He meant exactly what he said, 410 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,000 but he illustrated it this way with the one English word 411 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,160 another the two different Greek words. 412 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,400 If you have any question whatever about that particular 413 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,000 point from Galatians one, please, after services, we're 414 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,400 having a a social gathering where we'll have refreshments 415 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,920 and such like. I'll be glad to visit with you 416 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,480 and we can go into more detail if you would like to. 417 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,800 OK, Galatians five and four, by the way, look at points 4-5 and 418 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,800 six. They're all from Galatians. 419 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,240 They're all doing the same thing. 420 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,640 And and what Paul is really. Striving to do is to stabilize 421 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,280 the Christians. Now listen, it's OK for you to 422 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,840 feel unstable at times. It's not OK for you to stay 423 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,120 further than unstable. I want you to be a God fearing 424 00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:55,520 man and a God fearing woman and you know you got some things 425 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,200 wrong in your life. You see how quickly you can get 426 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,240 rid of the wrong and you can embrace the right things of your 427 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,960 life and Galatians 5 and verse 4. 428 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,680 This is a great passage. It's one that illustrates the 429 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,480 mere fact that you cannot go by the law of Christ and the law of 430 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,000 Moses at the same time. The word of God, said Christ, 431 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,000 has no effect unto you. This is the Galatians five and 432 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,040 four. Christ is not effect unto you if 433 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,080 you're justified by the law. Now listen what he's talking 434 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,080 about here. If you're justified by the law, 435 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,280 that is the Old Testament. That is the law of Moses. 436 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,640 If you're justified by the law of Moses, if you're going by the 437 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,800 Old Testament, you're going away from the grace and truth. 438 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:43,680 That came by Jesus Christ. You can't do them both. 439 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,520 Paul told us that you know what he meant. 440 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,000 He meant just what he said. No, if no, if no buts He knew 441 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,640 exactly what he said. You can't go back to the old 442 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,880 law, but you can stay true to the new. 443 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:04,160 Stay true to what Jesus brought. Jesus replaced many of the old 444 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,120 law teachings with the truth of what God's will was. 445 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,160 Much more can be said on that, but we will continue to press 446 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,720 on. But you now know Pop Galatians 447 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,200 169 teaches. You now know Pop Galatians 5 and 448 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,240 verse. Four teach you. 449 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,360 Now we're going to look at Galatians 6. 450 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,000 And verse one. I like this factors too. 451 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,160 You say, well, you like them all. 452 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,640 I really do. You know, people at home cut up 453 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,600 with me and they say, you know what we've learned about you. 454 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,040 You've been here for 20 years. You've been preaching for 20 455 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,720 years plus the time you've been here, but 20 years right here, 456 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,320 and we've learned that your favorite scripture is one you're 457 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,680 preaching on. Well, they're right. 458 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,520 I can't argue with that. Because it is. 459 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,880 Because I love learning every word, every phrase, every 460 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,240 passage, every context of Scripture. 461 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,560 I love it. But I get it said to hear 462 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,440 preachers preaching, congregation of teachers 463 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,400 teaching as important biblical truths, and we just listen and 464 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,200 soak it up like a sponge. Oh, it's so important. 465 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,280 Let's look at Galatians 6:00 and 1:00. 466 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,560 The word of God says the following and this is so 467 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,880 beautiful. It's really encouraging to me, 468 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,200 although it establishes our premise for the lesson tonight. 469 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,920 Once saved, always saved to the false doctrine. 470 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,960 And we never, ever want you to believe that Galatians six, 471 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,760 first one begins the word brethren. 472 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,360 It said, brethren, if any man is overtaken in a fault. 473 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:38,000 Wait a minute. Whoa, I didn't think you could 474 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,600 commit sin. I didn't think you could fault. 475 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,720 But apparently you can't because he warned the Galatians. 476 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,480 Brethren, if any man is overtaken in a fault, you which 477 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:52,560 a spiritual restore such one and spirit of meekness, considering 478 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,840 yourself that you also be tempted. 479 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:03,680 Friends, please listen in an effort to help other people to 480 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,800 become stronger spiritually. The Bible teaches help other 481 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,520 people, but at the same time watch out what you're doing. 482 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,080 Very similar to what Paul said in first year to 927. 483 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,400 I keep finding my own body and I bring them in a suggestion 484 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,880 that's not going to preach to you. 485 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,920 I could be a castaway. He realized I've got to watch 486 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,640 out for me. I want to watch out for you, but 487 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,320 I also got to watch out for me. Paul said, well now right here, 488 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,320 he's illustrated Galatians 6 verse one is called them 489 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,640 brethren. They're baptized believers. 490 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,880 He said I want you to be. Fully aware of the fact that 491 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,000 even after you reach out and try to help others, you could be a 492 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,880 castaway. You can lose your soul. 493 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,760 My dear friends, we are wanting to present to you a very 494 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,160 positive message that will help you in every way. 495 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,520 Go to heaven. It'll help you cleanse your life 496 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,880 of, of sin and Satan and evil and all that stuff. 497 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,560 It will help you. But you know what's going to 498 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,680 have to happen? You're going to have to want to 499 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,760 go to heaven bad enough to make some good choices. 500 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:16,160 You know, one of the things and I, I'm trying to think the 501 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,480 actual theme of the Oklahoma New Year meeting a few weeks ago, 502 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,840 but it was one of the things that talked about rejoicing in 503 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,440 Philippians 4. Rejoicing. 504 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,840 But you know, it is a choice to rejoice. 505 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,160 I preached on that at the New Year meeting. 506 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,240 It is a joy and it's a choice to rejoice. 507 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,640 It is a choice that you make to do the right thing, or it's a 508 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,320 choice that you make to do the wrong thing. 509 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,840 We've got to be like Paul in the Corinthian. 510 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,960 We've got to be like Paul directing the Galatian brethren. 511 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,040 And he wanted them to make the right choice. 512 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,400 To do the right thing. Oh my dear Christian friends, 513 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,840 listen, you don't let anything get in your way of living a 514 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,800 Christian life. You don't let anybody get in 515 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,240 your way. You don't let any job, any 516 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,800 school, any career, you don't let anything get in your way. 517 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,920 God is first. Jesus said it this way. 518 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,240 Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will 519 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,800 be added to you. You know what it meant? 520 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,560 He meant seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these 521 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,560 things will be added to you. He meant exactly what he said. 522 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,960 So don't guess second guess Jesus. 523 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,920 Don't try to figure out how to wiggle around what he said. 524 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,360 Just simply say speak. Lord, thy servant Herod, your, 525 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,600 your servant Herod command Lord, I will obey you live a life of 526 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,400 obedience. You do his will. 527 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,520 You keep his will. You obey his will. 528 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,400 You observe his will you hold his will, fire hold fast. 529 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,560 There are many verses of Scripture. 530 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,400 You've got to do that. That's where your level, high 531 00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:01,080 level of commitment comes in. One day, and I don't know when 532 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,720 it's going to be, but one day this world's going to come to an 533 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,400 end and this earth and everything they're in the Bible 534 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,080 said by writing of the Apostle Peters can be burned up. 535 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,760 Wow. I mean burned up. 536 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,160 Now, what's going to be important? 537 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,880 Are you ready to meet your Maker or not? 538 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,080 Because see, what saved, always saved is not true. 539 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,880 And if you just sit back and do nothing, you're acting like 540 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,120 you're saying nothing you can do to be lost and that is not 541 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,360 accurate. I want you to do the right 542 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,880 thing, make the right decision, pray to God and say thank you 543 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,960 God for all that you've done and ask God to forgive you. 544 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,240 As a baptized believer, that is one of the most beautiful, 545 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,520 precious gifts that we have from above and that is simply this, 546 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,000 that we can pray to God for forgiveness as a baptized 547 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,760 believer. Let me give you an example. 548 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,920 Acts is done on the board now to write this one down. 549 00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:05,640 Acts 8 and verse 22 when Simon the sorcerer was baptized, he 550 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,760 was baptized back in verse 13. Acts 8 verse 13, he was baptized 551 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:17,840 and sometimes when verse 13 and verses around 20, he said I 552 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,320 don't know if it was the day after noon next day, I don't 553 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,800 know. I don't really care. 554 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,840 I don't know where it was, but I do know this Peter lit him up. 555 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,640 Peter said your man who perished with you, you think the gift of 556 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,240 God be perched with money. You're offering US money so we 557 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,880 could you can do what the apostles are able to do. 558 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,360 He let him know in no uncertain terms. 559 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,880 Your heart's not. Right at the sight of God. 560 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,080 You know what that shows me? That shows me you can fall from 561 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,920 grace. See, there's a lot of verses of 562 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,400 Scripture that we never use to prove the theory that we have 563 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,880 here we're talking about. But we need to. 564 00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,440 But what we need to do is have these verses so clean, so clear, 565 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,400 so methodical. You lay it down and it would 566 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,400 take a rocket scientist to figure it out that hey, boy, 567 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,000 that's right, we can lose ourselves. 568 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,120 What? Once saved, always saved is such 569 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,679 a false doctrine. It's hard for me to imagine 570 00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:17,920 people embracing it, but they do, and they do it by the 571 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,920 thousands. They do it by the hundreds of 572 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,960 thousands. But let me tell you what, I 573 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,000 don't want you to do it. I do not want any of you, 574 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,080 however long or however little you've been in the Lord's 575 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,480 church. I don't want you to ever, ever 576 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:33,000 embrace that. Once I'm saved, I'm always 577 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,880 saved. You've obeyed the gospel, many 578 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,120 of you have. And the baptistry right here, 579 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,320 you became a son or daughter of God. 580 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,480 You became a brother and sister of this congregation. 581 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,080 Now I want to tell you something about all of that. 582 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,719 You made a commitment to the Lord. 583 00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,040 It's time to fulfill your commitment. 584 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,880 You don't have anything. Get in your way of doing the 585 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,320 right thing. Oh, there's so much more we 586 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,600 could talk about here. Well, we're going to move on. 587 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,240 Live with me, please. First Timothy four and one. 588 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,600 You know, Paul is writing this young preacher. 589 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,000 That's first Timothy 4 verse one. 590 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,720 Paul is doing everything he could to stabilize Timothy and 591 00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:16,520 get him ready. Paul loved Timothy. 592 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,120 You know, Timothy mother was in the church, his grandmother was 593 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,480 in the church. They were known as Eunice and 594 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,760 Lois. We typically today we pronounce 595 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,800 it Eunice. It's my understanding that in 596 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,640 the Bible days in the 1st century. 597 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,720 They called it Eunice, but whatever it's called, it's OK 598 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,640 Eunice. That's fine. 599 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000 I had one of my elders wives in in LaGrange, GA. 600 00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,680 Her name is Eunice. I never heard her calling you. 601 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,840 Nicest well whatever it is it's OK. 602 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,840 I just want you to know this when you look at first Timothy 4 603 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,400 and verse one here's what we're going to find. 604 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,040 This is again one of those past you where Paul was really 605 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,720 stabilized in Timothy and I I man this passage really hits 606 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,800 home. Run now the Spirit. 607 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,120 This is chapter four of first Timothy verse one. 608 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:12,840 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that some shall depart 609 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,160 from the faith. Wait a minute, I didn't think 610 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,320 you could fall from the faith. Yeah, you can, it said. 611 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,760 Spirit speaketh expressly that in a lot of time some shall 612 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,040 depart from the faith. You know why he said that? 613 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,280 Because it's possible to fall from grace. 614 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,040 All these verses are so clear. I'm I'm assuring you this these 615 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,440 I've looked at. I've used many, many verses. 616 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,360 There have been times I've used verses that didn't even include 617 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,880 the end of these 12. But in the last number of years, 618 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,200 these passenger out here, they're not taken to a very 619 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,240 successful Bible. Study and then it's my 620 00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:52,160 opportunity to help convert someone, Paul said. 621 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,560 The Spirit, thus Holy Spirit speaketh expressly. 622 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,480 The sun shall depart from the faith. 623 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,320 They'll give heed to seduce and spirits and doctrines of devil. 624 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,920 They're going to be people followed the doctrines of devil, 625 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,120 even though they've been baptized different. 626 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,400 Don't let it be you. That's the main point I want to 627 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,040 get across today. I don't want any of you, young 628 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,520 or old. We've got some very precious 629 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,680 eternal souls in our assembly. Variety of physical ages, 630 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,760 spiritual ages. That's all wonderful. 631 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,040 I just don't want you to ever lose sight that once saved 632 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,080 always saves a false doctrine. It is a going to hell offense. 633 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,960 And if you embrace that, you'll lose your soul. 634 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,880 I want you to be the man or the woman who said, let me tell you 635 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,560 one thing. I know this is false and I know 636 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,600 we have all these verses that will support that it is false. 637 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,680 OK, now look at point #8 and point #9. 638 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,800 It's both from Hebrew. Now I'll tell you something. 639 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,080 I want to draw you a comparison between Galatians. 640 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,720 We noticed three of those .45 and six to Hebrews. 641 00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:02,040 Now, there's more I could have talked about in Hebrews, but I 642 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,080 just include the two because I know that by the time I get 643 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,120 through 12, it's already time to have to quit preaching. 644 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,560 And don't go looking at your clock. 645 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:13,120 It's 8:30, I'll tell you, OK? But let's be real. 646 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:19,280 What we find right here in Hebrew is a similarity of 647 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,040 Galatia, but it's not identically the same thing. 648 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,960 OK, you remember what I mentioned about Galatians? 649 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,560 They wanted one hand of the Lord of Moses and the other hand of 650 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,640 the Lord of Christ. You remember that from a few 651 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,320 minutes ago where the Hebrew people weren't trying to do 652 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,400 that. They were going to abandon the 653 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,040 Lord of Christ completely. And it's in an entirety. 654 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,440 Some of them are willing to abandon Jesus and go back to the 655 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,280 old law. Guess what? 656 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,480 Paul's dead. It's not a good idea. 657 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:51,920 It's not going to be of any benefit. 658 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,760 So I want to look at these two verses. 659 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,240 Once you look at Hebrew 3 and 12, this passage right here is 660 00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:01,120 going to say it's so clear that everybody can understand it. 661 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,240 And then we've got to just be committed. 662 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,320 We've got to be committed to do the right thing, made the right 663 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,160 choices. Hebrews 3 and 12, the word of 664 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,080 God said take heed brethren, if you're wondering if they're 665 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,760 remember the church or not, live that word, brethren. 666 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,840 Take heed brethren, lest there be in any of you and even heart 667 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,640 of unbelief and departed from the living God. 668 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,960 Why would he say and departed from the living God. 669 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,360 If you cannot depart from the living God because you can, you 670 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:38,040 can depart from God's wonderful. Grace Abrah, 312 He told them 671 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,440 they were brethren. Paul wanted them to stay there. 672 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,600 Of course. He didn't want them to wander 673 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,280 away. You know, there are times that 674 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,600 we worry about people. We're concerned when they seem 675 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,960 to be slowly drifting away. And we want to grab them and 676 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,080 pull them back in because it gets hot in hell. 677 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,240 It is eternity in hell. We don't want anybody to be lost 678 00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:03,320 in hell. We want you to hear the right 679 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:04,600 words. Well done. 680 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,120 We want you to be a good and faithful servant. 681 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,480 Let me tell you what the only way you're going to ever hear 682 00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:13,520 well done, not good and faithful servant is if you've done well 683 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,360 and you are a good and faithful servant. 684 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,400 That's the only way you can ever hear from God. 685 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,120 Are you with me? Hebrew 312. 686 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,000 Now let's go to chapter 10 and 26. 687 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,840 Now Paul is getting really wound up right here. 688 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,040 I love preaching about Hebrew, the 10th chapter and verse 26. 689 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,640 You know, when when Paul writing this particular point, he makes 690 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:42,040 it so clear that sometimes it kind of makes us sit back a 691 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,440 little bit. I remember distinctly I 692 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,120 misunderstood this passage earlier on in my preaching. 693 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:53,520 And when I read that the first number of times, I thought, man, 694 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,720 this is not good. Hebrew 1026 the Bible says the 695 00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:00,720 following. How you look at it, it's very 696 00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:04,880 clear for if we sin willfully. After. 697 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,040 We've received the knowledge of the truth. 698 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,680 There remaineth no more sacrifice for sin. 699 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,920 That's a great passage. But you know what? 700 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,720 I thought it meant you there were meeting back in Manteca 701 00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:23,920 back July, maybe last year. I explained it there too. 702 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:29,520 But you can hear it again. Hebrew 1026 If we sin willfully, 703 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,760 after we receive the knowledge of the truth, no more sacrifice 704 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,520 is granted for you. What that means is if you sin 705 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,720 and what I was afraid of, let me first say that what I was afraid 706 00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:43,400 of, I was afraid of what I thought it meant. 707 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,880 If you sin, knowing you sin, when you sin, you are a goner. 708 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,480 There's nothing you can do to be. 709 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,760 Saved. I was so thankful to find out I 710 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,600 was wrong. That's not what he meant. 711 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:56,520 I was. Wrong. 712 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,520 I want you to get used to saying I'm wrong, OK? 713 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,800 Why don't you get used to saying that? 714 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,240 There's some people I just almost think they just don't 715 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,520 know how to say I'm wrong. I want you to learn to say I'm 716 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,240 wrong. I want you to learn to say I 717 00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:10,840 have sin because those things can help you go to heaven. 718 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,760 Therefore he said in Hebrew the 10th chapter, verse 26, he said 719 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,680 there's no more sacrifice for sin. 720 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,560 You know where the sacrifice is all the way back to the old law. 721 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,640 They go back to the Mosaic, the law, law of Moses. 722 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,080 You go back to the Old Testament. 723 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,200 You know they had daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi 724 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,680 annually and annual sacrifices also. 725 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,160 Hey, there's no more sacrificing for sin. 726 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,920 Those days are gone. This passage is not on the 727 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,720 board, but you may want to write it down. 1st Serenthem 5 and 728 00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:45,400 verse 7. And he said the Christ is our 729 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:50,720 Passover is sacrifice for us. First Corinthians 5 verse seven. 730 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,960 Dear friends, when we do things God's way, going to heaven 731 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,520 becomes a piece of cake. It's wonderful. 732 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,560 God went through a lot. He gave up his begotten, 733 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,480 begotten Son. Jesus went through a lot. 734 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,800 He gave up his life. My dear friend, it's time for me 735 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:12,760 and for you, man or woman, that we do a lot, and that is we give 736 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,240 our heart, soul, mind and strength to the Lord. 737 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,520 We let nothing get in our way. Well, you now see the 738 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,480 similarities of Hebrews and Galatians, but you also see the 739 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,480 difference, all right. Let's look at verse. 740 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,120 Ten. Wow, this is the last passage. 741 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,440 James, the brother of our Lord says the following. 742 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,480 Confess your faults 1 to another, pray one for another. 743 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,520 Why? That you may be healed. 744 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,200 You know why you need to confess? 745 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,560 The Bible says you're false. Guess what? 746 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,600 Once saved, always saved is false because you got to confess 747 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,160 your faults. If you've got faults, they need 748 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,600 to confess it. I don't think go hanging on to 749 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:58,520 him until. What? 750 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,080 I don't care what your sin is, it's not worth going to hell 751 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,120 over. Please understand that it's not 752 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,120 worth going to hell over. You confess your sin. 753 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,640 The word confess means to own up to, to acknowledge your sin. 754 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,840 As a matter of fact, there's two passages of scripture you can 755 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,560 find that one is James 5 and 16 and the other is first John 756 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:25,520 chapter one. It says if you confess your sin, 757 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,360 God is faithful and just to forgive you of your sin and to 758 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:30,920 cleanse you from all unrighteousness. 759 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,040 We've got it made. We're living a Christian life. 760 00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:38,840 We know God's truth. We can sing, we can pray, we can 761 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,160 teach, we can commute, we can contribute. 762 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,320 We are members of God's family, the sky. 763 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,080 Is the limit. I just want you to always be so 764 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,160 determined that you're not going to let anything or anybody or 765 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,640 any circumstance keep you away from living up faithful life. 766 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,200 But the mere fact that confessing your faults 1 to 767 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,560 another, it shows that as a baptized believer, you can still 768 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,000 have faults. And it shows you that what's 769 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,520 saved, always saved is a false doctrine. 770 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,400 OK, verse 11. I'm sorry, point #11 only has 771 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,960 one chapter. I put a. 772 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,120 One there just for the sake of those who are not in the queen 773 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:21,240 of the Scripture as what you may be, but it's book of Jude on one 774 00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:25,080 chapter. I put chapter one and verse 24. 775 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,160 You know, this is the book you find right before the Book of 776 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,880 Revelation and it's really a good book. 777 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,080 It's a book that teaches about a lot of people that make them bad 778 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,000 choices. And when you look at James the 779 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,440 1st chapter and verse 24, I'm sorry about James, Jude, Jude 780 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,240 the 1st chapter and verse 24. Here's what he said. 781 00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:47,960 This is the next to the last. Verse of the. 782 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,720 Book of Jude. Here's what he said. 783 00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:56,120 Not unto him. That saved you to get hold of 784 00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:00,000 this keep you from. Falling not unto him that's able 785 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,240 to keep you from falling, and because then you faultless 786 00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:07,000 before the presence of the glory of exceeding joy, the Lord can 787 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,640 keep you from falling. I thought you couldn't fall. 788 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,400 You can before we get through tonight. 789 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,320 Everybody, this assembly, I have confidence in you. 790 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,760 You won't realize what saved always saved, the false 791 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:24,280 doctrine. We could fall, but we can rally 792 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:29,720 back if we choose to see. You have to make a choice to be 793 00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:32,600 in a position to rejoice. You know what I don't want? 794 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,480 I do not want us to lose the joy of our salvation. 795 00:46:42,940 --> 00:46:44,740 You remember the day he was baptized? 796 00:46:45,740 --> 00:46:48,300 Wow, that was the best day of your life. 797 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,680 You became a son or daughter of God Almighty. 798 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,480 You come out of that water grave of baptism and my dear friend, 799 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,640 the blessings from above came to you. 800 00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,080 It is fabulous. I. 801 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,360 Just want you to know this right here. 802 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,720 When you're living a dedicated life, you are letting nothing 803 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,800 get in your way of continuing faithful until the day the Lord 804 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,680 comes back or until the day your life ends. 805 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,840 OK, let's look at the last point, Revelation 2, verse four 806 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,240 and five. Now Revelation 2, verse four and 807 00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:27,720 five is very similar to a couple of other places. 808 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,600 We're talking about the seven congregations of Asia. 809 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:38,080 Two of the seven congregations had done things that were not in 810 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:43,200 accordance to the will of God. Chapter 2 is talking to the 811 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,560 congregation of Ephesus. Now it's a great study and I 812 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,480 love preaching on it, but all I'm talking about is 2 verses of 813 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,160 Revelation 2 and Revelation chapter three. 814 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,360 Look at Revelation 2, the Angel of the Church of Ephesus. 815 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,960 You can see that in verse one, two verse one, it identifies the 816 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,080 congregation. We now looking at the Church of 817 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,840 Ephesus. So there and then verse one. 818 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,880 Now look at verse four and five. He said, nevertheless, he'd 819 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,360 already bragged on him a little bit. 820 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,720 But he said nevertheless, in other words, uh oh, he got a 821 00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:21,760 problem with us. Nevertheless, I have somewhat 822 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,040 against him. What can he possibly have 823 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,800 against him after all the goodness in great things he said 824 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,360 He said because. You've left your first life. 825 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,840 Whoa. What a mind boggling thought. 826 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,240 You've left your first love. Listen friends, don't dare lose 827 00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:42,520 your first love. Look at the dance first. 828 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,840 Remember therefore, whence you have fallen. 829 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,400 Why do you think you could fall? Well yeah, you can't remember 830 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,240 where you've fallen. This is Christian people, 831 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,920 baptized believers. Remember where you have fallen 832 00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:02,640 and repent and do the 1st works. He said RLS or else I'm coming 833 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,360 to you quickly and I'm going to remove the counterstick out of 834 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,440 his place. And you're not having one. 835 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,360 You're not having a counterstick either. 836 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,560 I'm going to remove the counterstick out of his place. 837 00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:18,760 Except I repent. Wow, my dear friend, I just ask 838 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,760 of you, I beg of you, I'm honored to be here at the Plants 839 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,560 Rd. congregation. I am honored to study the Word 840 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,920 of God with you. It is a great joy. 841 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,640 And tonight I want us to get a good handle on the fact of what 842 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,760 saved, always saved and how it's not a true doctrine. 843 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,320 It's disproven by these and many, many other passages of 844 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,560 scripture. And you can take these passages, 845 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,480 you can put in your Bible markings. 846 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,440 You can take these passages and put them wherever you put 847 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,320 anything that you can put your finger on real quick when you 848 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,960 have an opportunity to study instead of the word of God's 849 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,280 people. Well, there's a lot more I could 850 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,880 say, but I'm going to let tonight go down to be completed. 851 00:49:58,240 --> 00:50:01,920 It's such a pleasure. You've been a great audience and 852 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,240 it's a joy to be with you and worship tonight. 853 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,680 Now my question to you is, Are you ready to meet your Maker? 854 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,120 If today were the end of the world, have you sinned and for 855 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,960 whatever reason you've hung on to it? 856 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:20,440 If you have, get rid of it. Have the baptized believer 857 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:24,240 repent of your sins, confess your faults and we'll pray with 858 00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:28,920 him for you to God Almighty that He'll forgive you everything and 859 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,120 you being reinstated.
