Ricci you're dead wrong!!
@appointedaday Says:
So wait a minute are you saying your MUST believe in order to be saved? Or is it not of works ?

Pastor Ricci you pop off! I love it. Amen!

I'm fearful this sermon is ear tickling, because I WANT to believe it. He makes perfect sense to me, but is that because it tickles me. Praying for wisdom. I've listened to JMac and Washer and Spurgeon for 10 years, but the last year or more I've stopped altogether, because I was sick of the roller coaster of doubting salvation, then feeling I was saved, based on how much I was doing and how patient, etc, I was.
This sermon is so FREEING. I just hope it's because it's the truth, and not because I'm wanting a way to not try harder.

It is misleading to say that nothing is required by God for Salvation.
Jesus said that it is hard to be his follower.
Matthew 7:14
"For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."
Luke 13:23-24 also says that many will be rejected by Jesus:
"Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able."
Jesus said that there are requirements that one has to meet if they want him to accept them.
Luke 14:25-33
"Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, ..."
Jesus said that their is a cost to find Salvation.
When Christians contradict Jesus by teaching that God requires nothing of us, they are decieved and are deceiving others.
@bass305-HCCA Says:
Well i dont believe in a works salvation but read the book of James. You say faith alone which is correct, but just remember, what real faith is. Faith without works is dead. Its not real. You dont do works to become saved, you do them because you are saved.

I didn't know MacArthur believed this. Thanks for the warning. Romans 4.
@mikeyr3y Says:
He also denies the blood of Jesus Christ too.
@Midnight_Lantern Says:
MacArthur is overbearing and much of his preaching is legalism. I was vehemently outraged when he preached years ago that any believer in Jesus is a SLAVE to God. He went on and on, obsessed with this slave concept. NO WE ARE NOT.
One who is bound to satan or legalism is a slave. But Jesus sets us free, as stated in scripture. And then once we are free, we CHOOSE to become a bond servant of Christ Jesus, which is a voluntary choice. Entirely different. Slave infers lack of choice or overriding of free will. Slaves dont have free will.

It’s amazing how anyone could muck up John 3:15+16, John 3:36, John 4:10, John 5:24 John 6:47, …
@itzurboichipzahoy9298 Says:
Amazing video, so would you and Pastor John Ricci say that most calvinists, lord ship salvationists, and John MacArthur are saved even though they are wrong? As he said many people will be saved but be under bondage and fall from grace.
@honestyangel Says:
I've recently heard repentance defined as "acknowledging your need for a Savior", what do you think about that?
@hillbilly4christ638 Says:
I didn't know the sopranos preached.
@rev.stephena.cakouros948 Says:
The speaker downplays the importance of repentance. If MacArthur goes to an extreme this is the opposite extreme. The apostle Paul went from "house to house preaching repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ," Acts 20:20-21. The speaker is confused about the nature of faith. Justification is by faith but faith results from a desire to repent. Let us avoid the two extremes. The one leads to self righteousness the other to cheap grace; grace that justifies sin and not the sinner.
