And I understand that you know that we are in a spiritual battle. Constantly right and I would say especially for pastors. I just want to encourage people out there to be praying for your pastors. Listen, it's specially while they're in the pulpit.
Yeah, and so. Yeah, so my Lord's Day was good. You know you got to worship with with the fellow Saints. But I just felt like I was off today. I hadn't went back and listened to my message yet. I'll do that tomorrow, but I kind of feel like I dropped the ball to be honest with you.
Am I am I breaking up. Still is my internet acting up a little.
No, you sound good. You're loud. I mean, but that's normal. Let me turn down my thing here, hold on. You're running hot son. Put some water in that thing.
Hold on here here we go. Here I just want. I won't be there we go. So my wife. Just said that. I Have a typo. I said wife instead of hey wife. Okay, so she usually has to Edit everything for me. Otherwise.
It's it's boring.
I got one of those today.
Yeah, that's good. It's good to have those there. There are helper for our spelling issues. Yeah.
Yeah, for sure for sure. So how was your Lord's Day?
Man, it was really good. So Michael Beck was preaching today in Romans 13. He's been in in Romans forever and We started off, you know talking about Romans 13 and how Paul was giving us Orders or a command to obey area or obey every ordinance of man, you know that God has fears of Authority that he's commanded and one of them is, you know, civil authority government authority somewhere in the church Somewhere in the family and then there's also You know conscious issues conscience issues.
So today was the exceptions of when not to obey The government when they step outside their line, so it was really good everything everybody was waiting on that but even better was our evangelism ministry that that we've been heading up lately and we have we recently had a sign up and over 20 people have signed up to be a part of the street evangelism ministry.
Yeah, we went out to San Antonio yesterday at the pearl we had eight guys come out Have some opposition one guy was screaming in my face and it was it was fantastic it was a You know, God is faithful and and and and just growing the ministry being consistent.
So I'm really happy. Yeah excited, you know when you finish evangelizing you go out you just come back You can't even sleep because you're on cloud nine, you know God blesses the ministry of proclaiming the gospel.
So it was great great Lord's Day today. Oh.
Mine was was a blessing. I just got a preach on Galatians chapter 2 verse 17 and 19 just a really really great text. Galatians is super theologically Deep and rich and it's a well that I don't think anyone can find the bottom of and so it's a real blessing just to Be in there and then later just just got home like 15 minutes ago.
From being able to go to Eastside Baptist Church in Twin Falls. Listen to Mark Chansky preach and him talk about the Reformed Baptist Network and just got a fellowship with him. He's such a kind guy. And so it was a real blessing if Mark Chansky does see this.
So thank you again for being able to come out. It was a real blessing to the fellowship and worship God with you.
So he came out like in the spur of the moment, didn't he? Yeah, I did.
Crazy, so he was going to Nampa. Which is about two hours from where I live about two hours and 30 minutes away from the church that he was at. And he was going there because there's a church in Nampa sovereign Grace fellowship in Nampa that is joining RB net and so he was going out there to preach and introduce them to stuff and whatnot and.
So I guess while he's flying out here He's praying that that he he is only got so much time in Idaho. And he really is praying to find pastors that want to hear it. Just to hear from him and hear about the network.
And so he's praying about this and then I message. So it just the way that it happened. It was pretty cool. And so I messaged him. He called me. I was able to call five other pastors that are also 1689 in this area reformed Baptist.
This and we all met together at Eastside Baptist Church. We're just helping coordinate that it was it was a blessing. And so I think we all walked away encouraged and he gave a fantastic message.
That's awesome.
I don't know if y 'all heard but Christianity has lost its teeth. I.
Heard Elon Musk said that actually wouldn't it? Yeah. Yeah, Elon Musk.
Yeah.
And I you know like a part of me wants to agree with them because I believe that the teeth is the gospel of Jesus Christ and some of these Pastors and pulpits are so limp wrist dick. They wouldn't know the gospel if they read it from the scriptures.
Yeah, they're tripping over their skirts to get into pulpit. I think a lot of them.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know like, you know, it's kind of I'm talking, you know, I'm kind of reminded of that song, you know, it's some shady song with a real slim shady. Please stand up as I was a real Christians, please stand up.
Right, but will you use the weapon of warfare that God has given to us? Right the gospel of Jesus Christ to go out and evangelize the world.
Right. Yeah, man, you know, I.
Christians man, I just cannot stand it. You show me a church that doesn't have strong men and I'll show you a dying church.
That's right, man. I mean, you know, I posted it today, you know, I just got through bragging. I can't help it because I'm just so happy that we had 20 people but hey, it's not enough. We need more people.
We can't let up. We need to go out get out of the pews and go share the gospel in our neighborhoods and stand up against this wickedness. That's coming against us. Constantly over and over and over.
So yeah, I hear people talking about we have to do something. I was like, well, we've been given our marching orders. To go out and to make disciples. Are you going out making disciples? And when they say no, I'm like, but I don't.
What do you got to say to me? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, everybody's happy about you know, when we in in service and I'm not talking about my church because thankfully We're getting out there and going up but a lot of these people say well, you know We got to be a gospel oriented church.
We need to go out there and share the gospel and everybody's in hearty agreement. Yes, amen, and then you're quiet, you know. So yeah, we need to we need to get out there guys and it's such a blessing, isn't it?
Every time I go out it's a blessing to go out there and share the gospel people. Yeah. Yeah.
It's hard to find a close second. Yeah, it really is. Right. I mean it is a chore, right? You're nervous before you go like listen, I've been doing street preaching since let's see.
I.
Started doing a van, you know evangelism regularly around 2011. All right street preaching specifically around 2012 2013. But just going out regularly sharing my faith with people since 2011 and I still I still get nervous.
Yeah, well one we're You know. So we need to be fearful of that to make sure that we're presenting gospel and also in communicating in gospel in a way that You know the same way we would evangelize our unbelieving family or unbelieving friend, you know pleading with the come lovingly but Bold enough and and loving enough to be able to tell them listen if God doesn't intervene in your life unless you realize your your spiritual Condition is dead in your sins.
If you don't come to Christ and you die in your sins. Eternity is a long time. It's it's forever.
Never ending never ending.
Yeah Good good plug. Braden you're right ready for us. I'm gonna be loud. Amen.
Agree with everything you just said.
Yeah, well, you know all that just to close by saying yeah, I mean listen heathens are gonna heath. Yeah, right I don't expect Non-christians to act like Christians. All right, just like I don't expect Christians to act like heathens.
I expect what we're seeing to take place because they're worldly and the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing. So all this stuff that we see going off you may I mean going on in our world today.
Well, it's because the gospel is foolishness. God said it is he he ordered it in such a way that it would be Right. Mm-hmm. I mean it just is what it is. What we have to do is be faithful and go out and preach that What they call foolishness because not only is it foolishness it's also the power of God to salvation.
Yeah. Yeah, and so you want to see the teeth of the gospel. Another of Christianity. It's the gospel. We got to go out there and preach. I.
Will I will say this flow on it is that I've been seeing a lot of a lot of Christians almost They almost say well the world's gonna be the world so and that's almost like a cop-out about not doing anything Right not saying anything.
Yeah, the world's gonna be the world. No. Absolutely. Yeah. No, they will but you're not being the church either right now by just blowing off. That's right. Like I don't know. I I shared a picture of it where it's of course the Last Supper and then there's people.
Well, the Last Supper painting is is blasphemous. Anyway, okay. Regardless the point of it is is that they're trying to blaspheme the Last Supper of Jesus Christ God in flesh By putting an act on regardless of the painting or not.
It was a terrible Sinful wicked thing that was being said. It needs to be called out people need to be told to repent and believe and and you know what? Yes, we should pray for their souls. But also One of the signs of the times right is that we we know that there there's going to be in the last days.
Which I think we've been in the last days for the last 2 ,000 years right now in the last days. There's gonna be wicked evil things going on. Like what we're seeing right now. And so yeah part of the cry to say Lord Jesus come that is an imprecatory Prayer that you are wanting the Lord Jesus to come and pour out wrath on these people.
The most the worst purgatory prayers for for the nation. When he comes when he comes that's it. Yep, those that didn't bend the knee Are gonna be tossed both body and soul into hell. Yep. So yes pray for him.
Yes, tell them to repent and believe but don't use it as a cop-out to just hide and not say anything and. And it's I don't know it was kind of a little bit shameful. Some of the things I was seeing on my Facebook post with.
It was something for the most part people think that you know, as long as I say something on Facebook, I'm doing something. No. As long as you're doing something in your echo chamber brother. You ain't doing nothing.
Take it to the public square. Preach the gospel. That's right. Anyways, what are we talking about? Light and there's.
Kinda we glimpsed into it. We did this I would say we destroyed it is but I.
We put the people's elbow the macho man Randy Savage elbow, right.
You.
Should throw this up on the screen. I got no one ready for us.
Hot spot your phone. Oh, yeah. He's frozen.
Yeah, let it go brother.
The water is deep. Children are allowed. We love you brother, thanks for stopping by.
This is a good chance, this is a good second. Yeah, that needs to be up there for a while. This is a good second to throw in. If you haven't already, please share this around on your different social media platforms.
We definitely Would love it for you to subscribe and just follow along with what we're trying to do. We're really just trying to glorify God through the fellowship that we have Advancing his kingdom through edifying those that are watching and and we just have a good time here.
So, please please share subscribe check things out.
Yeah, you're better, huh, you're better, okay, I just hop spotted the phone yeah.
Yeah, yeah, right.
He's talking bad about you. I tell you I have experience this so I'm just saying I know I Gotta put it on hot spot quick when that happens.
All right, so my phone this up. Yes, throw it up. All right, so we gave y 'all a sneak peek of it last week. We're gonna go through it today.
That's right. Yeah, so right here what you are looking at on your screen is what's off of latent flowers. Soteriology one-on-one's website on here. He wrongly calls it provisionism because everybody knows it's really late in ISM and so last week we went through these single point by single point and I I think It just showed that they were butchering the context of each one of these verses and taking them out of context to fit fit into a presupposition and Elevating their free will to a place.
This.
Layout that you see right here and the content and the and the proof text that they give they're doing the very thing. That they accuse us of doing of taking things out of context. That's right all right, they accuse us of taking things out of context and they develop something that takes everything out of context.
And just like I told the other guy and and for the right because I Challenged to debate latent flowers one time he would not debate me and then I debated Jason Brita which I Won't break the news, but but I've been talking back and forth with him.
Anyways, I debated Jason Brita and that was one of the things that he says that you know Calvinists take things out of context and here they are taking everything out of context and I told him that I can right.
No, like I can give you the context. Biblical context and historical context of every quote. Every verse that I mentioned. He could not.
Yeah. And he couldn't answer the questions that met. You answered every question that that he had offered and he couldn't answer any of the questions. That you you answered back to him and then he just he chalked it up on not being a good debater.
But you know every one of the verses. I think we went over it last week.
Everyone.
Well, didn't we go through. Well, yeah, but we went through several in every section. We read and we would agree with them in their context like you had said, but they take it out of context with their.
So what we're doing today, so you obviously we we fix the title from provisionism to latent ism. But what we after last week have done is we are going to fix Latent ism God's love and provision according to scripture, of course, because we don't like to insert our presuppositions into the text and this is what we have come up with is What am I doing?
Bam, there it is. Oh, yeah.
Look at how beautiful this is. I can say I'm a provisionist right here if this is what it means. That's good.
That's it. The Lord has provided right look at this.
Not that not that one.
Up there. Oh beautiful. Everybody you need a you need to take a screenshot of this and And read through it later and share it around on social medias. I'll try to post it up on the book face later today, but you can do it yourself as well.
Yeah, so we're gonna go through this one point by one point. We might get through them all day. We may not who knows but as you can tell latent ism fix we have our logo up there. I don't know my name on there.
God's love and provision according to scripture, that's what we want to define all these things based off of. And I will be going back and forth between this just to show the difference between each one of the points.
All right, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Guys want to start with number one. Yeah first one. You've got to pull it up. I can't say okay. Yeah. Oh. That's good. Go ahead. Read it. I can't see it that that great to read.
Working. I'm working on my iPad. Is mine. Something happened to my laptop.
Okay, so I got it. God the only sovereign first uncreated cause has predestined all things according to his holy Wise will and therefore nothing is meaningless or without providence.
That's a pain that I can get behind so let's just look at this the comparison people sin which last week We talked about how it's trying to remove What we have died in Adam with that that there's almost what what's being put out here by latent ism in general is.
Is trying to remove that fallen nature that death nature that child of wrath that we see In Ephesians 2 and Romans 5 From the fall and so I fixed it now with starting off with talking about God's sovereignty.
Right. That's why it should be God first.
God first.
God first. And and what was wrong with the people sin the way they put it said that. Let's go back to the other one real quick. Yeah people sin which separates all from fellowship with God therefore. Because man sinned they're saying therefore a divine provision.
Became necessary. Now, what was our argument against that the way?
Well, so if you look at what he's trying to get at you look at what he's trying to get at is that we're separated. Because we sin so personal sin. So, you know, so a child isn't separated. He isn't born separated from God because it hasn't sand but once it sins, it's separated from God.
This you see what I'm saying? And so he's not looking at the fact that that we are born in Adam. Unable to please God we are born with a sin nature. So we're not saying that a child is born. You know right out the womb.
Sinning like that's not what we're we're trying to say. But they are separated in the sense that they are born with a sin nature. Inherit it the sin nature of Adam. As goes the King so goes the kingdom.
Adams and Adams fall. All men fell in.
Adam.
Say that yeah federal headship, right? And so he's trying to say that we're separated because of our own personal sin and we're saying no we're separated. Because of Adams sin he brought sin and death into the world.
Right.
So anybody born of natural generation from the time of Adam to this point even now today has inherited Adam sin guilt. Just at the moment of conception. Positionally. Positionally, we are separated from God.
Yep, that's absolutely right and we did talk about last week. One thing that you did say Tom That I appreciate is that the the fall happened because of the cross not the other way around. It's not like yeah Ross happened because of the fall.
The the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ was not plan B. It's always been plan a and so in this original point right here. What's there's people sin. It's almost making it seem that well, Jesus was the second plan, which is not the case.
He did look at Romans 512 we looked at Romans 6 23, I believe we even went into Hebrews 9 22. If I can recall from last week Isaiah 59 2 it was that the one that was just. Why is that in there? There's just a complete.
I think what they were trying to insert in that text was not according to the context of Isaiah.
No, no. Yeah, go ahead. According to Israel like it has nothing, you know, because you have to you have to think about it God has a kind of covenant relations. Excuse me a relationship. What was it 59?
59 to yep, 59 to Isaiah 59 to yeah, so God has a is in covenant with Israel. He's not in covenant with the Palestine's is not in covenant with all the Jebusites and all the other eyes. Okay, 59 to you.
Yes, but your iniquities have made a separation between you and I.
Mean between you and you and your God and your sins have hidden Excuse me, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear. Again, this is directly speaking to Israel. That's the historical context as well as the biblical context.
Right, Isaiah is writing this calling the Israelites to repentance.
That's right.
Because they turned they did what was right in their own eyes according to judges, right? They had they were supposed to live a certain way. They turned their back on God. They went after idols and what happened they fell into sin.
And so there was oppression there was sin. There was guilt because they sinned. But that's not that's not the reason why we stand separated from God. The reason is because we are by nature dead in our trespasses and sins.
Now let's look at it this way, so let's say. Let's say I fell into sin. I don't want to put that on anybody else. Let's say I fell into sin. This word can be for me, right? So if I fell in a sin, I can read here and say behold The Lord's hand is not short that he cannot save or his ear dull that he cannot hear.
Like all I have to do right here as a saved person who is swimming in my sin. It's the call looking thumbs up. It's the call out to God and ask for forgiveness, right? First John Chapter 1. I think it's verse 8, right?
He talks about Verse 9, excuse me. It it talks about confessing our sins and he will forgive us right and so and then right here. It's because of my iniquities and I'm living in sin. It says but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God.
Right, and so this is a you know for a believer we can say yes and amen. This is you know, we can we can take a clear application from that and apply it to our lives. But we cannot apply this to the Jebusites.
That's right back then nor. Can we apply it to the heathen of today? Hallelujah.
Good stuff. So what we're looking at right now is six Bible verses that fit into What the definition of P in is in our in our points. Here we're taking back the word provide.
We're taking back the word provide. What you gonna do late. What you gonna do breath?
We're taking it back.
Don't know if we want to read each one of these these Bible verses that we got up here or what. Let's just you know.
The audience y 'all want us to go through all the Bible verses.
I mean, there's a lot of them. I think we do need to go through one. Somebody somebody. Holler. But I do want to go through Ephesians and this is talking about this is talking about the planets. Ephesians 1 4 do it, right?
All right.
It says just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world. That we would be holy and blameless before him in love. Mmm, he chose us in other words. Like you had said Braden like we had said last week that the plan of redemption Was a covenant in the Godhead that he planned before the foundations of the world.
He has names that are written in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. And if your name is written in that Lamb's Book of Life, which he chose us in him before the foundation of the world That's when the plan started.
It was an eternal plan.
That's right, yeah, man, I love that sweet covenant theology at 46 9 through 10.
Pushback on what they would say. Oh, yeah, go ahead. This is speaking to the Apostles only. This is something that I've heard them say. So like the same way that I can take application from that Isaiah passage if I was you know, if I had fallen into sin as a Christian and I'm.
And there's a separation with my relationship with God so it's not that I'm not a Christian, but I because of my sin I have. My sins have hidden his face from me, right?
But that's how you can apply this because he's speaking yes, he's speaking to his the Apostles. Who is writing this to Believers, right? So let's just say he's just speaking to his Apostles, which I don't think that's the case.
All right. He's not yeah.
But I'm just saying let's let's just give them that bone for a second. In the same way that I can apply Isaiah 59 1 2 to my life as a believer I can also apply what this is saying as a believer. If that was the case I can make direct application to us.
However, that is not the case. Paul is writing a letter to the Ephesians Church and they're taking direct application that it's speaking to them verse 1.
It says to the Saints who are Ephesus. Yes faithful in Christ like In this not only that but guess what the great unity is across all 66 books of the Bible. It always describes the same means of salvation and that is in Jesus Christ.
We have been predestined and conformed to him justified Sanctified and eventually glorified. That's exactly what the next scriptural rehearsal here is Romans 8 29 30, which is the golden chain of redemption.
Here in Ephesians, you see the God Father God our Father Choosing us predestinating us According to his goodness. Yeah in Christ Jesus adoption how. Adoption right there faith in Christ, right? We're we're we're made a part of the family of God.
To the praise don't adopt ourselves.
That's right in him. We have redemption through the blood the forgiveness of transgressions according to the riches of his grace. Verse 7 Which he caused to abound to us.
I'm pretty sure that one's talking about God right there. Oh, okay. It wasn't on me.
No, it wasn't it was all Soledad Gloria, right? This you have to butcher this text beyond recognition to be able to come away with provisionism.
Or latinism, excuse me. Yeah, don't you ever misname it? Okay my fault.
Well, I do my I must say I there is a chicken. All right, okay, it's the late Isaiah. Isaiah.
Love our brothers and sisters in Christ that are provisionist. Y 'all y 'all are wrong on your soteriology. I love you.
Yeah, but you're wrong on it. I mean when Layton came to the conference we had good fellowship. And Layton knows. Listen, I guarantee you Layton can watch us and laugh. Good, right. Because Layton hung out with us and he saw us making fun of each other.
That's just how them guys are and That is like if you want to be our friend, you better be tough okay, cuz there I grew up in the trailer park and like my song says there's no safe places in a place when your place Is on a hitch, okay.
We don't play like that, you know, even Layton.
He kind of made he kind of had a big dig on on Kevin Hey in the conference because he told him that I look like his dad.
That's right and Greg Moore was going man don't tell don't tell your wife Kevin.
So Isaiah 46 9 through 10 is that it's God speaking to Israel that that I Have. I have predestined these things to occur so that you may know that I am the one and only God. There's none before nor after.
So God's sovereignty is a thing that separates him from other from all the false gods. Of course. The road the golden chain of redemption. Here in Romans 8 acts 4 is Peter giving a sermon and he's saying the The people the Pontius Pilate the people of Israel the Gentiles all those that were against Christ Jesus.
It was according to God's predetermined plan to crucify Jesus Christ. Genesis 50 20 the instant with Joseph being sold into slavery in there. It says that you meant it to evil against me. But God meant it for good.
Not that God used it for good. But God meant it for good. The same exact you know, actually being sold into slavery meant.
Rc spro has a teaching on that and so does dr. White, but I don't think they go back far enough. Burneth barn. How you say it?
Burneth.
Far far away. Yes, so they'll take it and they'll put it like they'll begin the story like they'll start it there. But they'll take it to where Joseph was actually sewed into slavery. I Think we do better if we take it to her.
It's actually first mentioned and that is Genesis chapter 15. So in Genesis chapter 15. In verse 13, it says this. So so this is when God had put Abraham asleep after he Split open the the animals and he goes to walk through them.
Verse 13 it says. Then the Lord said to Abram No for certain that your offsprings will be sojourners in the land That is not theirs and will be servants there and they will be afflicted for 400 years.
But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve and afterwards they shall come out with great possessions.
All right. So how did all that? How did God in? his sovereignty Caused that to happen. Well, Joseph was sold and yeah hardens. First of all Joseph had to be sold into slavery By his brothers and then his brother famine has to come which causes his brothers to go to Egypt seeking grain.
That's right. Joseph has to forgives it to give his brothers and then the Israelite people are welcomed in Egypt in the land of Gosheh. Right, and then Joseph dies and there comes a Pharaoh who knows not Joseph.
So on and so forth. All right, so it's all about preserving the seed. Yeah yeah, that whole incident is a prophecy given to Abraham. A Prophecy given to Abraham and so what what. And so when he says God meant for good.
That's pointing us back to Genesis chapter 15 beginning in verse 13 and it tells you how he means it for good. It's a part of that covenant promise. They will come out with great possessions.
That's right Joe. Joe 42 to no purpose of yours can be thwarted. The purpose that job is speaking about in there is the situation that he's in and it's dire. Seven kids seven sons three daughters boils from head to toe.
He's saying that that's the purpose of God and it cannot be thwarted. Remarkable faith from Job in there. So that's the context. Quick words from each one of them without opening up each one.
Good stuff.
Regeneration, should we see?
You know this one. Let's see what they first. They first put responsible that is everyone is able to respond to. I just want to throw up. Everyone is able to respond to God's appeal for reconciliation.
Because a divine provision will be heard and understood.
And never mind that you're dead in your trespasses and sins slaves of the devil. And it's also the message is foolishness. You can respond. Oh, yeah, you can. Just not positive.
It's right. Yeah, what's it. Consistent with your nature and not only that. It kills Ephesians chapter 1 for that. We just read that he chose particular people, you know. He's making salvation possible to everyone here that the father chose someone but now he's gonna send his son to make salvation possible for.
Entirely different group other than. Oh, you didn't know that the father chose a people but the son died for a different people and the Holy Spirit just doesn't know who to apply the purpose to. You didn't read that right?
Yeah, it's all.
Jeff it's up to you. It's in.
It's.
We said this last week if it if responsible means that we are responsible for our sin I would say amen to that but that is not the way that they take this responsible. So this is that that we everyone Has the ability to respond positively to the gospel call in their nature outside of?
The outside of God regenerating them. Which Yeah, like I said want to throw up what we put is Regeneration. Every responsible we put regeneration. It says in here regeneration is the new birth.
Yep.
All right. Oh, oh I see granite.
Let's go back just a little bit. Is that close enough?
That'll work. Okay.
Regeneration is the new birth by the Holy Spirit where grace faith and the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit is granted to the elect of God. Outside of this new birth we remain dead in our sins and enemies to God.
Therefore regeneration precedes faith.
That's right, you know, you know. That's just what the Bible does concern in salvation. It gives us a word picture like that's the analogy of Scripture concern and salvation is the new birth. And this was the the verse so and in in Colossians chapter 3 verse 4 and 5.
This is the one that I was pointing at in that in that debate that I had. I don't.
Know.
Cautions, excuse me. To 13.
No.
For no, I'm sorry. Not Colossians. Forgive me. Tim it. I mean Titus. I can't even remember my son's name. No, yeah Colossians is great too. That's not what I was talking about. So I was talking about the word regeneration is found.
You know, we'll get there the word regeneration is found in Titus chapter 3. And beginning in verse 4 and we'll go to verse 5 it says. But when the kindness. Now when the goodness and kindness of our God and Savior appeared and we would all have to agree.
This is 1st century. This is his first coming. He saved us not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy and here's how he does it by the washing of Regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit and my argument here had to do with that word regeneration, which is the Greek word Pauline gonna see a Pauline means Again and gonna see a means birth.
So if you just read it how it is, it's again birth, but it's translated Born again or birth again. And so he saves us through a new birth and and Jesus Speaks about this like this is when it comes to salvation how a person is saved.
It's it. That's the analogy. It's a new birth and ladies and gentlemen, none of us had anything to do with our first birth. Therefore we have nothing to do with our second birth.
Amen.
That's right. That's the analogy that he did the picture that the analogy of Scripture right. Is it right?
That's just how it's laid out.
And to tie that in I think you also have first Peter 1 3. And it says this blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who according to his great mercy Has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Wait, you guys. Caused.
And it says his great mercy according to his mercy has caused us to be born again. Time now. You didn't do it Braden. You didn't do it. I'm out. You cannot according to my faith.
Not according to my endurance not according to what I willed.
Yeah, no, this was didn't have anything to do with you, yeah, it sounds like.
Sovereign.
He's more sovereign than that, okay.
Again ladies and gentlemen, like if you they talk about that they're holding to Scripture. Right. And again, listen, we we really do care about Layton like I think he's a good guy. I enjoyed hanging out with him.
Hope I get to hang out with him again. But this is nonsense when it comes to that verse.
What does he do with that verse that he has caused us to be born again? I don't I don't understand. What's his argument there?
Well, I'm hoping that they'll watch some of the stuff that we're doing and we're really like putting the foot on the pedal when it comes to Pauling gonna see ya that Greek word read for regeneration and I hope they make a response because I'm like listen, I've been wanting to go to watch a comedy for a while like please make a response because I.
You have to butcher you have to literally remove it from the text. It cannot mean anything else.
Right or or just like you said or they have to make this mean something other than it says.
Way far off basis the butchering the text. Yeah.
Well, I.
Get on the major ones on there.
Yeah, I mean.
Please.
We want provision it. We want lateness to see this. We want Christianity and whole to see this. So please be sharing this kind of videos because that's how they end up seeing these things.
Yes, so in my debate, I don't go back over to the verses. Yeah. So in my debate if you haven't watched it, please go watch it. It's on the gospel truth Network. I hit John 3 which it also John 5 Titus 3 5.
But I use 4 and 5 and Ezekiel 36 26 or 27 now. I would have loved to use more. I had to pick and choose right now. We only had a Short time to get everything out but however. Yeah, so if you go you'll listen to me explain Ezekiel 36 26 to 27.
And so what's his name?
Want to do Jason. So when it comes to that Titus 3 5 He made a video and he was wanting and he asked in there. He was wanting to know if I would be willing to debate Titus 3 5 using all of Titus at in the context and if you go to his Facebook page living Christian You'll see I put in there.
Yes, like I wanted to give a quote from a tombstone, you know, like I'm your huckleberry. That's just my kind of Whatever, you know like but but I did accept it and he hasn't responded back to it so I think he was saying that thinking I wouldn't watch the video, but I mean Yeah, like I know the book of Titus like I'm not trying to.
You know do wrong. So so somebody just asked where can they find this URL? I'm gonna post it on my Facebook. You can find it there, I'm sure these guys will share it Jeffrey Rice and Tom Shepard. Please share it get it out there.
Let's let's let's light the the the fire underneath the lateness, but hopefully hopefully they reformed to biblical doctrine. All right, you guys want to read the next one?
Okay, what do we got? We got original sin. Yeah, you guys want to see what the one was before? Yeah.
Sound like a country song. I.
Forgot that. Jesus said that wide is the way and open is the door that leads into salvation. I forgot that verse.
It's wide open. All you got to do is jump in the waters. Fine. It's like.
I'm pretty sure that Jesus said narrow is the way yeah. He calls himself the door and then he says only to me that the door the gatekeeper Opens and I call my sheep out. Yeah, and that excludes those that try to climb up another way the dogs.
The false shepherds those the robbers is what it says in John or the other sheep that are also in the sheep pen who are.
Not his.
Guess guess what Jesus does he says. I call them out that no. Salvation is not an open door. Jesus is the door and he died for the elect. It's not an open door.
Yeah, well, but wait a minute Braden it says right here for anyone to enter through faith. Just muster up and that pull yourself up by your bootstraps and muster up some faith over here. And and you could go right into his open arms.
He's just hoping that you will come.
Doesn't that just fly in the face of what the verse that you read before Tom like. He caused us according to his mercy. It's not. It's not that we caused God to show favor to us according to our faith.
We placed in him.
That's not how this works as a matter of fact, and let me go there real quick acts 1348 and we got to read this because I this is just this is a killer. Yes for them right here, which one and it.
1348.
And it says. And when the Gentiles heard this they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord and As many as had been appointed to eternal life. Believed in other words if God doesn't appoint a person to eternal life How can you come if he is not chosen that person?
How can that person possibly come another way? The door is not wide open just like you said.
So one of the arguments that he makes and I might be saying it wrong. But he's saying are you saying that God unilaterally chooses those who are going to be saved and and those who are not?
What is a lot of battery as as as if as if randomly just willy-nilly going grabbing a few. Is that what he means by that.
Well, I think so. I really don't know exactly what he is. Articulating so that's what I get from it. So so the fact that.
The fact that he'd shoot we're dead in our sins. We our condition is dead in our sins and the fact that he decides to show mercy on any Is is is all grace, you know. And so if God choosing this God chooses to choose a people group for his own possession I don't know why he would choose me.
There's no reason why he would choose me. I know you guys. There's no reason why he would choose you guys. All right, watch him out. Yeah. And but the thing is is that it's all grace. I have no clue there's no reason why that I could even fathom why he would want to choose a Person a person who has been rebelled, you know shaking my fists against him and living the life that in my past life that I lived You know, but my condition was dead.
So whatever his purpose is praise God, I'm not gonna ask I'm not gonna pretend to know the mind of God. To ask him why he chose me. He did it to show his glory. That's that's all I could think of and so we should just praise him and thank him for that.
I Have no idea why he chose me.
Amen, if God just if God just saved one person let alone the thousands upon thousands upon thousands that he has saved God would still be worthy of eternal praise for his mercy.
Just one just and and being the creator. Having absolute power. Does he not get to set the terms to get to choose who he decides to choose?
Absolutely. Yeah.
Absolutely, I.
Mike my co-elder and this and he even says it that the the analogy is So much far limited to the extent of the distance between God and man. It would be like us playing with Legos and having a Lego set and the Legos are upset that we're playing with one.
More than another or that one was the main character in our little Lego game that we're having, right? Legos don't get to do that to those that are playing with them or those that are creating them. Right like God and I use the Lego term because this co-elder he helps with the youth ministry.
And so it connects with the kids. And so my little boy inside right now is playing with Legos.
And.
God is so much infinitely greater than my son is to those Legos. Right. And the fact that he saves any of us and it's all part of his plan. Praise praise be to God.
And let me read this verse that Michelle just put up. Yeah, so. Luke 13 Verse 30 23. Yes started 23 and some and someone said to him Lord Will those who are saved be few. And He said to them verse 24 Jesus speaking strive to enter through the narrow door For many I tell you will seek to enter and will not be able.
Hmm. What do you think? They're thinking so I'm thinking here that they will seek to enter they will seek to be right with God, but they're not going to go through the Method, you know the means which God has determined to save them.
In other words, they're gonna be seeking wrongly. They're gonna be trusting and not in the person work of Christ alone for eternal life to him for him to wash you of your Sins and to have his imputed his righteousness put on our account.
But they're probably depending and seeking to be right with God another way. What could that be?
Come on.
Example. LDS is a perfect example of that. Think about all the earnest LDS people out there. Yeah, you think that they are doing their absolute best to obey and follow God yet. They think that they will be rewarded based off their own efforts of what they are doing.
So they're trusting in their own righteous or trusting in their own works their own righteousness. Yeah.
Now if you don't mind me pissing some people off that's fine with you.
Here we go, right. Like like Noah's toe to build an ark for him and seven other people including animals. That's right. He is. He's told that it's going to be him his wife his three sons and their wives.
Yeah, right.
And believe me when I tell you that as you know, probably as the the water Starts to come and the boat starts rocking you hear the knock and let us in right and Guess what? They strive to enter and we're not able.
Mm-hmm. God closed the door that that ark was only meant for eight people and a lot of people will say well Well, Noah was a preacher of righteousness. Yeah, you better believe it every swing of that hammer is preaching Christ every slab of that that that tar getting onto that that that that boat is Preaching Christ.
Never once will you may convince me that Manoah walked around? Preaching that a flood was coming. So well Jeff, how do you say that Matthew chapter 24 verse 36? But concerning that day and hour no one knows not even the angels of heaven nor the Sun But the Father only for as it was in the days of Noah So will it be in the coming of the Son of Man for as in the days of Noah?
As in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking marrying and given in marriage until the day when Noah Entered the ark and they were unaware. Until the flood came and swept them all away.
So will it be the coming of the Son of Man? Yeah, they were unaware but best believe with every swing of that hammer Noah with his actions is preaching Christ.
Yeah, I I.
Mentioned that in my sermon that I gave at the white Calvinism conference, right? It was designed.
Purposely.
God gate.
Noah didn't just build an ark. He built it according to God's design that he built an ark and it was only Built for the eight that got to pass safely through the waters, which is totally typological. Yeah, why would he?
Why would he build it for for eight and God tells him who's going to enter in go back to Genesis? It tells them who it is. It's going to enter in and then go out and invite people to come in.
Guess guess guess why they were invited in to because Noah as the federal head of these eight or seven people. It says that that they were Included in this covenant because of the faith the righteousness that Noah had found in the eyes of the Lord.
So again, perfect perfect typology to what we have in Christ we Are sinful and fallen but through our mediator of the new covenant our federal head Jesus Christ we are reckoned with righteousness because of what he is fulfilled and He is the ark of our salvation.
And we are able to safely pass through the wrath of God because he took it for us.
Yeah, I'm sorry. The door is shut. It's not open. It opens for the the Shepherd. Yeah. Well, let's see what we put. We put. Oh for original sin because According to Latinism, they just say people sin.
We felt like it needed to be fine-tuned a little bit more. Yeah, somebody want to read that.
Sure says Adam as our federal head sinned against God by breaking his covenant. Which incurred which incurred death for all those he? Represented all are born dead and sin and wholly defiled in all the faculties and parts of the soul and body.
Mm-hmm. So Adam as our federal head sinned against God. So goes the kingdom or what?
As goes the king so goes.
Right as goes the federal head. So go the people. I bet my congregation hears that in their sleep.
So.
You want to you want to define federal head again. How what does it mean to be a federal head. So everyone understands a Federal head. Our representative.
Yeah, so it's that one person represents the whole so. That's that's the the quick just Just footnote version of it and a lot of people are opposed to it because they're like well I don't I want I don't want to be held responsible for Adam sins, right?
But first of all, the Bible says that that Death death came in through Adam. So death affects everybody and that's through Adam. So regardless if you like it or not, that's the case. And second of all, I love federal headship because if it wasn't for it Christ Jesus is my new federal head.
The one that I am undeserving of. He represented me upon the cross and took my wrath.
To deny the headship of Adam is to deny the headship of Christ. That's right. Absolutely. That is beautiful.
Is that not. I mean, that's the beautiful part of the New Covenant.
Absolutely.
It really is Everybody.
That's right. Amen. The second part of this so so as Adam because he represents all mankind. So the all that he represents is is everybody.
Exception everybody. Exception good good point there not without distinction without exception.
He incurs death For all those that he represented and because of that all are born dead in sin and wholly defiled defiled in all the faculties and parts and Parts of soul and body that comes verbatim from the 1689.
I'm sure it said it exactly the same way in the Westminster in the Savoy, but that's where that last sentence comes from, right?
So for that.
Proof text. Romans 310 no one is righteous. No, not one then tells us of all the ways that we sin against God and that we fall short of the glory of God. And that the law was given to hold everybody accountable before God.
Ephesians 2 3 that's a that's a text that I think we should all know off the top of our head. Yeah. Genesis 3 3. Genesis 3 17 obviously that's speaking of the fall itself. That's the the part where God is giving a curse unto man.
So again, we suffer those curses that Adam received. Ephesians 2 again as we're dead in our sins and trespasses.
Romans 5. We're born children.
Clears day therefore just through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin. And so death spread to all men because all sin that's right.
Don't don't don't judge me, bruh. Am I being mean being main again?
Me you guys are judgmental. We're meanies. Yeah.
1522 says yeah, first Corinthians. 1522 says for as an Adam all die. So also in Christ shall all be made alive. Yeah, so again federal headship. Yeah.
Man, it seems like Whitney seems like you know people sin. I mean All right doesn't open door.
Yeah, I don't I.
Do we even need to read the rest of these. We probably. We're doing a show we're doing we're doing a show. All right, we're at the hour mark. Are you able to stay? Let's get through it guys. My computer is.
Is that 31 right now? So anyway, so we're on Thing what did I click? Clicked over too many times. So let's just see what they got for. V will be quick. They put vicarious atonement so they're defining this as is the divine provision given of sufficient value for the sins of the whole world and provides a way for anyone to be saved on the basis of Christ shed blood.
So. We did we did hammer in pretty big time on this last week.
Is there anybody in hell for whom Christ died. Braden. Just let's know.
Okay. No, let's just leave otherwise. Otherwise if it was right Christ died needlessly for that person. So the blood of Christ is being trampled upon. It's not powerful enough to save that person and God is in just because he's giving out double payment for the person on the cross Jesus and the person that is in hell the individual.
God would not be in just in those ways, right?
So let's go back to let's fix this. Let's fix it. Wait a second.
We're gonna talk about this down here indeed to directly fix it. But what did we put for V Jeff?
You want to read this one? I can't sit good enough man. I mean I can see it.
But it's it's it's not new eyes Vic. It says victory in Christ alone.
I'm having looked in my iPad. So it's a lot.
I got it. I got it. You got it. Go ahead. Go ahead. You're Ariana. Through Jesus's righteous life substitutionary death and Triumph over the grave all those whom he represents are brought into coven into a covenant of grace because regeneration precedes faith.
We don't boast of ourselves But in the Lord alone.
Look I know I'm the one that wrote these but it sounds really good. Let's just let's give myself a round of applause right now.
Yeah, a little pat on the back for sure. I like read the collages to 14 to 15 for proof texts.
You want to read that one? Yeah, I did believe this is something that we looked at last last week.
And by the way, we're not cherry-picking verses where this is. This all fits. Go go. Read it in context. It all fits.
And then for any of my provisionist friends out there that want to debate any one of these verses. Yeah, like bring it what we right here.
Regulators.
Colossians would you say Colossians 2? Yeah.
Yeah, which that is the text that the mauler guy that we talked with just well that doesn't mean literally it didn't literally.
No rise as awful. First. 13 and you were dead. And what your trespasses and uncircumcision of your flesh. Yeah, you heard me dead. God that made alive together with him. Here's how he did it. Having forgiven us of our trespasses.
That's where the grace comes in. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ephesians chapter. I mean, excuse me. This is Ezekiel 36 25. By counseling the record of death that stood against us with its legal demands.
This talk about that that that record of death he set aside Nailing it to the cross. Amen, he disarmed the rulers and authorities by putting them to open shame. How did he put him double shame by trying on putting over them in him the in him is Christ.
Right, so as they were he triumphant over them by what they were doing to Christ Nailing him to the cross.
Jeff what real quick you said that they were dead. What was the dead mean? So I.
Thought it was a sickness. Is what. Yeah, so according to the text. So like if you look at Ephesians chapter.
Two.
Dead is someone who is who is following after the Prince and the power of the air. Doing carrying out the desires of their flesh in their mind. And that means that they are by nature children of wrath.
So that would be the definition of dead here slate slaves to sin. Slaves to sin and I would say that second Timothy tells you why. Second Timothy beginning in verse 23 I think it is where it talks. It tells us that we have been captured by the devil to do his will.
Yeah, so you ever seen those so many. Sam shows right when he sees he's chasing the bunny and he sticks his gun into a hoe. And all of a sudden the barrel could like the it's manipulated and it's pointed right back at him.
And so he shoots the gun and shoots himself. That's what this verse in Colossians. That's what I say, right that as as they're Nailing him to the cross. They thinking that big family got rid of this this guy that does good deeds.
They're actually.
Shooting themselves. They're actually there. They're actually he he's bringing about the best deed.
In that moment, I like writing this down. Yosemite Sam.
All right, you guys want to go to the next one.
Illuminating grace.
Illuminating grace. Yeah, so that's what they got right here. Illuminating grace is the divine provision offered sufficiently to all and Provides clearly revealed truth so that all can know and respond in faith.
And I think Jeff he is a liar right there because if he doesn't mean an all without obsession All without exception that is a total lie.
Did you just say all without obsession, yeah.
Listen man I'm from the south and and I'm a street kid and it's late. Okay.
So yeah, so we touched on this one a lot last week too, right? There are people right now that are dying that has a knowledge of God because of creation. But they have no knowledge of the Trinity. They have no knowledge that Jesus died for them.
I'm sorry, there is not a divine provision Offered to everyone that prove that clearly provides The revealed truth of Jesus Christ. There just isn't. How is it revealed Braden? Tell him it's through the ordinary means of grace.
Somebody needs to be able to preach the gospel.
They hear the gospel and then the Holy Spirit does the work on them through special revelation. Went through the scriptures.
Yeah, yep, the the the bad part and we talked about this last week. Is that that. And yes hyper Calvinism. Let's reject it. Let's deny it. I agree wrong. Correct. However, this teaches a hyper Calvinism view of evangelism.
Which is well if everybody can respond equally without exception and Guess what? Do I need to get out and preach? No, they got it.
Everyone already has it. There's no need to go out and pray. Falls under the same.
Condemnation for a hyper Calvinist. That's right. It isn't latent isn't so latent himself as an evangelist. Yeah, I don't understand how he can't how he can't see the error in this I'm sorry. It removes all the responsibility of the church being the church and and going about with the Great Commission and preaching the gospel.
I mean really Braden. I mean you just nailed it on the head right there. I mean Layton, are you aren't. I mean if this is the case You're a hyper Calvinist. You're a hyper Calvin. It's just the same rule right here.
There's no reason to go and preach if God is just if he's revealed it to everybody already without scripture.
Why why do we do missions. Why are there missions? Yeah, why are we trying to go to unread? Why do we call them unreached people?
Hmm. Yeah, they've been right.
They're right. They've been done reached forever. Yeah. Sorry. Also, so 33 12 through 30. Let me just say this is a quote from a lie. He you shouldn't be looking at a lie who to get your theology. You should look at God's response where he proclaims that he is sovereign.
Job 38 to 42 is where we should be reading. You know, what only if someone could fix this.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh wait my fault. Oh Guys I got to read this one because this is something that I think We as believers just need to just be very clear on Infallibility of scripture. So so they said are illuminating grace for their eye.
We're saying infallibility of scripture. What does that mean? Scripture is God-breathed as The only sufficient rule of all saving knowledge faith and obedience it has sufficiently Revealed the character of God who is triune eternal and immutable.
Believers need not and I'll say that again believers need not to make excuse for what God has spoken so Mmm, do I need to make excuse? for this right up here. Absolutely not. Nope, if God has spoken that which guess what?
He kind of has yeah, plus I'll just say you can read these verses or read all 66 books of the Bible. It's it's really good stuff. It all is in there. Yeah, we need not feel the need to To make an excuse for the way that God describes himself.
It is sufficiently revealed God and his character and You need to stop trying to fit your philosophy your vain philosophies and myths into the Word of God.
That's good stuff man. These are that was the argument I made in my debate, you know concerning these things that we do not look outside of Scripture when it comes to. Not, you know, like everyone knows there's a God because of creation rights, right.
General revelation. But the only way to know this God right, you know to know him personally. It's the special revelation and the only way to truly know him is to the revelation given to us by Jesus Christ.
Like this is John. John chapter. John chapter 1 verse 18. Alright, let me read that real quick. John chapter 1 verse 18. It says no one has ever seen God Speaking of the father here. The only God speaking of the son who is at the father's side Has made him known.
And then you go to John chapter 17 verse 3 says and this is eternal life that Jesus speaking that they may know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sinned. 1st John Chapter 2 begin. I think it's verse 22 or 23 talks about if you do not have the son you do not have the father.
You cannot separate the two the only way to know who the father is Truly is through the son and I would argue that those in the utmost and most for the most part. The Old Testament doesn't true. Reveal God in his true form until we have the revelation of Jesus Christ, right?
He truly reveals him in a unique way God as father son and Holy Spirit.
It does progressively Reveal him in a promise. However in right in our Old Covenant in yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah as promised but but yeah.
Yes, yeah.
To read the Old Covenant outside of the New Covenant, I would still say that that it's not. It's not crystal clear. Right, because like like as you get further into the covenants, it becomes more clear.
That's right. And by the time you get to the New Covenant, it's crystal clear. That's right.
Beautiful. I just I just.
Yep, I I'm just really happy you guys are talking about the Old Testament New Testament just the continuity there I just now I'm seeing on on Facebook. Jason Bretta just posted something regarding His view of the book of Romans that he's coming out with this video.
He's saying that that.
That he misunderstood these three chapters in the book of Romans. He doesn't say in the video First for several years. So he's alluding to back when he was Calvinist right or that he was claiming to be a Calvinist.
And he's saying that in these Chapters of Romans guess what? There's a distinction of Jew and Gentile.
Where's he going? Is he going to 9 10?
I don't know what chapters but I'm sure it's the ones that you debated that James White with.
If you don't understand what he's doing. So he he says he's came across an ambiguous antecedent and that's why I said in that debate you like antecedents. So Romans chapter 1 verse 13 and what he's trying to lay out here.
Is that from Romans chapter? 1. I think he's going to a through 11 is solely speaking about the Jews. So this is information given to the Jews about the Jews and nothing but the Jews. So help me God. And that's just bad.
It's just well, yeah bad theology. It's it's bad exegesis.
Yeah, yeah along with all those other cults. Oh I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
I'm sorry, you know.
My co-pastor told me I do not have a filter. You're right, I don't sometimes wish you did.
So, okay, so just going through this continually right they put destroyed again. This was something this is a building up argument that they're trying to make in their latinism chart here. Because again, we talked about this last week destroyed for unbelief and resisting the Holy Spirit's drawing to God's mercy.
Mercy will be the divine provision of justice. So several things going on there. First of all, it's saying that we're not being destroyed for our sin, but unbelief.
Right, so that's wrong right there. Okay, so I can see it. Yep. It's a little closer. Okay, and then and.
Then not only that but it's saying that we can stay the hand of God that we can triumph over God's Choice over God's call over God's moving for us to come to him. We can be more powerful than that, right?
Also, it goes to what you were talking about earlier with them being hyper Calvinist. Yes, because look at it. Your arrows in my way. I can't read it. These words are a little bigger than the other one.
Could you move your arrow?
For only.
Yeah for unbelief and resisting the Holy Spirit's draw to God's mercy Will be divine provision of justice.
Okay.
So he's actually so I'm sure he believes that those who are unreached if they die, they're going to go to hell. So is this saying that they deny? The Holy Spirit. Yes, they resist the Holy Spirit and they're going to die not for they're going to be punished not for their sins, but for Rejecting Jesus whom they have not heard.
How can they hear if no one is sent?
Listen, your theology has to reach more than it has to be a more than America. If your theology doesn't work in China and Africa and all these other Continents. My my dear brother your theology is false.
That's right. That's a Mormon theology right there for the Americans.
So and then also so for the unbelief in resisting the Holy Spirit's drawing. But yet John 644 says no one Works here. The LSB says can come. That word can in the Greek is to be able has the power to personal ability.
They Cannot come without. The father draws him. So unless unless the father who sent me draws him. He cannot come. He's not able. He cannot. There's no opportunity to come. There's no power to come. There's no personal ability to come.
We cannot work God's will in any way. That's right.
Well, so that's a bunch of crap, right. Got you some good stuff. Let's just see it. Definite atonement. Jesus is Christ.
Sorry, Jesus.
Came out wrong. Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice was intentional Effectual and Specifically designed to redeem those who the father predestined to be in the covenant of grace. God does not give double payment wrath for sin.
Hey, I just found a problem with your your your.
That's messed up. There's no problem.
No, no, there's not from a reformed Baptist perspective nor for my Presbyterian brothers. But if you're a Calvinist at Baptist, you just mentioned the words covenant of grace. Oh, yeah.
I'm not here to make the.
Non-reformed Calvinist. Listen if both of us are trying to be I'm trying to piss people off. This ain't gonna be good. This is gonna be good.
Yeah, no, I think it's great so you don't have a problem with the document. I got you I got you.
No, I don't have a problem. I think I think it's beautiful. I was a little worried there when you said that I was like.
Oh.
So, of course.
Good. So, of course we have Hebrews 8 that's the the covenant of grace that we're referring to Colossians 2 14 that the sin was nailed there with Jesus Christ. John 10 is speaking about the sheep of God that he lays down his life for the sheep.
Isaiah 53 11 that suffering servant text again the golden chain of redemption and then John 6 39 Which is a text that all the father Gives me I will lose none. All that the father draws I will raise up on the last day.
So so yes. The the drawing work of God will be completed in regeneration and not only that but it will also be secured in the in the death Of Christ as well. There there will be a raising up on the last day of it.
Well the whole thing. Here's where they blow it all the final point, yep.
Don't don't don't they're one-point Calvinist. Don't don't. They're inconsistent Calvinist, that's what I'm gonna start calling provisionist or lateness is you're just being an inconsistent Calvinist because you like one point.
But you can't be a one-pointer, but even in this this is not, you know. Eternal security and perseverance of the Saints are not the same thing. Like I mean, I'm glad that he believes this but again Jason Britta doesn't right.
He he Is an Anabaptist and let me tell you I've been studying Anabaptist for two weeks. Don't do it. Okay. Oh my Good. I'm not getting smarter. Yeah.
So eternal security is the divine provision that is everlasting for all true believers. So once you believe you cannot lose your salvation is what this is teaching. Which I think is just fascinating. If belief faith is mustered for myself Why can't I stop mustering it and then be then therefore destroyed for my unbelief, this is where well.
That's the argument that brought me to Understand that we couldn't lose our salvation because my argument was if I can get myself saved. Yeah, I can get myself unsafe. But the moment I understood.
The.
That that God is the one who does the saving. I mean hence the word saving. Salvation means to be rescued from what right. And this being enslaved to the Satan. You know. If he can if he's the one who saves me.
Then I understand better that that I cannot lose it. Or if you come to that first point first, right? I mean the Eternal security, you know, I cannot lose this. How can I not lose something? I've earned.
That's right. So.
Like I can't lose who I am as a rice, you know. Someone who's the rice. I did not earn that.
I just I just noticed this. I think this is kind of funny. Out of all the points this one eternal security is the most late Calvinism, right? Mm-hmm. However, it's.
Yeah, that's the one truth they have and they don't have much.
Let's see how we worded it because I like the way we worded it.
Okay, so there's I and I I am gonna bring out so there's been some controversy on this last one the way you worded it. But I'm gonna take up for you here so just so you know, but there is a there is a word in there that people don't like.
I won't say anything. I said keep on going. Good Lord. It's hard to say man. Yeah, let me read it.
Okay without without and then you guys try and pick it up. Because the believers salvation was earned in Christ Applied by the Spirit and ordained by the Father. They therefore can't stay the hand of God nor undo what was done for them.
The believer can trust in the sovereign hand of God that holds them secure. Look in the first sentence.
Was earned in Christ earned in Christ earned.
So some people don't like that word earned that because the believers salvation was earned. Now, here's the thing. Here's why I'm gonna take it up for for brain now. People don't like that word earned.
Here's the reason why? Yes, so my wife even said the believer earned nothing, but here's the thing. We are not saved by works. Yes, we are. It's just not our work.
Works of Christ alone. He lived a life. We could not live. He took the punishment that we deserve.
So that's Braden's point right here. Is that he is our righteousness the life that he lived that we are required to live but cannot live. He did it in our place. So he earned. He earned the righteousness and we are in him.
So we have the righteousness of God in.
Obedience of Christ.
Yeah, that's a passive obedience but but like coming off a definite atonement it spoke about the covenant of grace. Right the covenant of grace we would say as as as Reformed Baptists who ho to 1689 federalists list that the covenant of grace is the new covenant.
But also the new covenant is a covenant of works and It's fulfilled not by our words, but by the works of Christ keeping the Covenant sitting on the throne of David. His active and passive obedience.
Absolutely. Yeah, so hopefully that.
You had me worried again because let me worry that I messed something up again. Beautifully done. Again. Ephesians 1 through 4 through 5 a text that we read earlier. Good and golden chain of redemption ago, of course.
2nd Timothy 1 9. I cannot recall why I put that in there. What that says if one of you guys want to read it. Yeah, as many were appointed that day. Believe or wait. No, what is X 13?
Yeah, is that what it is? We're appointed unto eternal life believed. That's right. And then.
Romans 9 11 is the the wrath text I believe and then John 6 44 I will raise you up on the last day.
2nd Timothy 1 9. Who saved us and called us to a holy call and not because of all works But because of his own purpose and grace Which he gave us in Christ Jesus right here before the ages began.
Translation did you just read from.
The elect standard version, of course.
It's stuff, you know that that that text right there will that is deep theologically I mean that will preach for a few weeks, maybe. What are you sure?
Yeah, I can do a month series on it. Yeah for sure.
I would say a month and I just go 30 minutes with it and be done.
Well, that's.
Your mouth are different right? We both have four or five Sundays. However, your sermons are 30 minutes and mine are an hour. Oh.
My gosh, I'm not 30 minutes. So I preach for one message. That's 30. And it was a great Mean listen, it was the it was a Christmas service and it was God glorifying and it was amazing. I had listen. I just wanted like let me just talk myself up here for a moment.
I had LDS in the church that day LDS people in our church and I preached a hard 20 minute gospel message to them and called them to repent believe it was good.
It was real good. Amen. Yeah anyway.
That's my boasting for this morning or this evening.
There it is guys, I mean there's part two of the show. Listen Layton if you're out there, yeah, we'll do a debate with you, you know, get your guys. We'll go back on Marcus's show and and we can hash it out.
I mean I Mean the truth is on our side. We have the scriptures to prove it everything that we've said here. We've gone through in context. There's there is no. There's no doubt that we're right in this and and it's not that we're trying to be right.
This is this is what the scripture says. This is what God has revealed to us in his Word. That's right.
Well.
We'll take this down real quick.
I'm gonna stop sharing it too. And then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna post it on to the Facebook right now.
