“God is love, and HE WHO REMAINS IN LOVE remains in God, and GOD REMAINS IN HIM. In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have BOLDNESS IN THE DAY of judgment, *because* AS HE IS, even SO ARE WE in this world.” – 1 John 4:16-17
We need to walk in love, led and enabled by the Holy Spirit, having the fruit of the Spirit to have no condemnation now and when we see Jesus face to Face — resting in Him.
“You may have been born in church, baptized in church, served in church, could have married in church, died in church and still end up in hell, because you were only in the church and not in Christ.
It is necessary to be born again, take up our cross and follow Jesus. Many have religion, but have no relation with the living God!”
I’m still offering $6,000 to anyone who can refute what the Bible actually says:
My comment:
THANKS for sharing this short testimony, Bill! It seems that hardly any born-again Christians are being led by the Holy Spirit these days, including pastors. Almost all seem lust addicted, which is demon driven, so they think they can never be free. Many are clinging to the false doctrines of OSAS (once saved always saved) and “only believe,” because like Martin Luther, they think that’s the only way they’ll go to heaven. In the meantime, America is falling like a rock, since hardly any “Christians” are salt and light.
We need to get real Christianity going before this is all over, Jesus’ prayer in John 17 and the way Christianity should be explained in Ephesians 4:11-16.
“History fails to record a single precedent in which NATIONS SUBJECT TO MORAL DECAY have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a SPIRITUAL AWAKENING to overcome the moral lapse, OR a PROGRESSIVE DETERIORATION leading to ultimate national disaster.” – Douglas MacArthur

“He who believes in Me has everlasting life” (John 6:47). “Whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).
Believing on Jesus is a central and critical doctrine of the Bible—essential to a relationship with Him….
But, what does it mean to believe in Jesus? ..is it merely talking about a heartfelt, mental assent…?
Scripture often uses the words “believe” and “obey” interchangeably, emphasizing God’s view of faith as an obedient faith. Highlight John 3:36 in your Bible. “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (NASB). Note carefully that “eternal life” is for one who “believes” but “not” for one who does not “obey.” The words, in God’s dictionary, mean the same thing. In your margin next to John 3:36, write Hebrews 3:18-19. “And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.” Again, the words are synonymous.
My comment:
The main problem is unrepentant lust of the heart, which Jesus said in Matthew 5 will send us to hell, so we have to do whatever we need to in order to not lust in our heart. Committing an act with a person is a next, deeper step. Lusting in the heart allows demons to drive lust.
Pastors teach “once saved always saved” and “only believe” instead of teaching what the Bible really says about needing to abide in Christ to have no condemnation, which we have if we walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. These are the sons of God, Paul then continues to say in Romans 8.
Look at Paul’s two lists in Galatians 5. Most “Christians” are in the “will not inherit the kingdom” list, and many don’t even care about what Romans 8, Galatians 5 and almost 90 New Testament verses actually say about who goes to heaven. They’re that lust addicted.
Paul says an overseer MUST be “HOLY” in Titus 1, which means purity of the heart, not just externally pure actions. Then we have the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, after which Paul says “Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” Most pastors and born-again “Christians” today are backslidden by choice, not in Paul’s “those who belong to Christ” list.
Paul soon after says: “Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”
It starts in the heart. Church leaders MUST be “HOLY” in their hearts to be able to lead others into real Christianity: Ephesians 4:11-16.
Most pastors today don’t teach what Jesus taught.
We must actually abide in Christ to be “in Christ,” to then have “no condemnation,” because we “walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
That’s real Christianity.
..for these famous atheists, someone was there to recall the final words they chose before closing their eyes for the last time.
Wescott and Hort pulled off an amazing deception 150 years ago, convincing scholars and Bible publishers to accept the Egyptian Greek manuscripts in which many words and entire verses were intentionally removed by manipulative scribes. So most of today’s Bible translations have key words missing.
Sadly, today’s scholars aren’t willing to correct this, probably because they like the deletions, since it fits with their “once saved always saved” gospel (removal of Romans 8:1B) and cessationism (these verses).
The Gideons Bible recently corrected their ESV version to add the missing verses, with permission of the ESV publishers.
Paul: “For The TIME WILL COME when THEY WILL NOT LISTEN to the SOUND DOCTRINE, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves TEACHERS AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS; and will TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, and turn aside to *FABLES*” (2 Tim. 4:3-4)
It’s the Talmudic, antichrist revolutionary spirit mentioned in Romans 11 — “enemies of the gospel,” “a partial hardening… until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.” The Talmudic goal is to destroy Christian civilization so they can rule over all Gentiles when their “messiah” is seated on his throne in the temple in Jerusalem (2 Thess. 2:1-12). No one will be able to buy or sell unless they take the mark of the beast. Many of the faithful will lose their heads.
Romans 11 is very clear:
25 For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a *PARTIAL HARDENING* HAS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL [the true Jews, not referring to land], UNTIL THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES has come in [real Christianity, ‘ONE’ with each other in Christ “that the world will know” – John 17 and Eph. 4:11-16], 26 and so ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED [the true Jews]. Even as it is written,
“There will come out of Zion the Deliverer,
and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 This is MY COVENANT with them,
WHEN I WILL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.”
28 Concerning the Good News [the gospel], THEY ARE *ENEMIES* for your sake. [E. Michael Jones’ Jewish revolutionary spirit theory]
Netanyahu’s Abortions by Bombs and Bullets is not an issue for “Pro-Life” Republicans
How many pregnant Palestinian women have been murdered by Israeli attacks in Gaza since last October? Answer me!
Why are the “Right to Life” Republican activists who are seeking to end abortions in the US applauding the baby butcher Netanyahu and giving him a standing ovation in Congress when his military is responsible for the abortion of many hundreds of Palestinian babies by bomb and bullet?
Given that the Palestinian people are treated as though they were sub-human, this moral question isn’t even asked. The Republican party is spiritually sick and double-minded.
GOP “Christians” have a callous and cruel, pagan-like disregard for unborn Arab babies and their mothers in Palestine.
Their “Right to Life” morality is turned on and off depending on whose babies are being aborted, and by whom. If they are American infants and the abortionists are physicians, Republican Churchianity is in an uproar. If the dead are Palestinians killed in their mother’s wombs (along with their mothers), by American-supplied bombs and bullets, they could not care less.
Truly, the Palestinians of Gaza are the least of humans in the eyes of a Right wing America that loudly professes its fidelity to Christ.
Yet Jesus said whatever you do to these, the least of my brethren, you do to me.
The first 20 minutes are a great listen!
John MacArthur also teaches the serious false doctrine of “once saved always saved.” He’s a major false teacher leading many astray, including many pastors.
This passage in Hebrews 6 is probably directly related. The Hebrews were facing martyrdom, which they could escape if they publicly renounced Christ. The writer to Hebrews plainly says this is unpardonable.
Hebrews 6:4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
Revelation 14:
9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand, 10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
We need to be ready to lose our heads. Taking the Mark is NOT an option!
John Elving writes under this video:
John MacArthur & Phil Johnson teach that by taking the Mark of the Beast you can still repent and go to heaven. The reasoning behind this is it is not an unforgivable sin. I reject this theory 100% because the bible teaches us that once you take the Mark of the beast you are sealed with the seal of satan and you will never repent.
THINGS JESUS AND MARY NEVER SAID
“Mom, can you be a mediator between My followers and Me?”
“Sure Jesus! They can pray to me. I’m omnipresent and omniscient, like God, and can hear all things and hear millions of prayers at once.”
FOR THERE IS ONE GOD, AND ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS; 1 TIMOTHY 2:5 KJV
Why is only Christ and Christianity mocked — no other religions and their gods?

FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE…
There are in the human body 600 muscles, 1000 miles of blood vessels, and 550 arteries important enough to name. The skin, spread out, would cover 16 square feet. It has 1,500,000 sweat glands which spread out on one surface, would occupy over 10,000 sq. ft., and would cover 5 city lots, 20 x 100 ft. The lungs are composed of 700,000,000 cells of honey comb, all of which we use in breathing,–equal to a flat surface of 2,000 square feet, which would cover a city lot. In 70 years, the heart beats 2,500,000,000 times, and lifts 500,000 tons of blood.
The nervous system, controlled by the brain has 3,000,000,000,000 nerve cells, 9,200,000,000 of which are in the cortex or covering of the brain alone.
In the blood are 30,000,000 white corpuscles, and 180,000,000,000,000 red ones. Almost 3 pints of saliva are swallowed every day, and the stomach generates daily from 5 to 10 quarts of gastric juice, which digests food and destroys germs. Two gallons daily!
It’s easy to see that the “very hairs of our heads are numbered,”–about 250,000.
To think there are still those who say this was an accident and by chance.
Evolution is supposed to be a mindless, random process that takes place over millions of years. If this is the case, how did the human hearing system arise, with its five separate components that don’t function without the others?
Five separate parts to our hearing system all work in unison to enable us to hear, and none of the five make any sense by themselves. What good is an outer ear (engineered for capturing sound waves) if there’s not an ear drum to capture the sound wave pulses? What good is a pulsing ear drum without the three tiny bones behind it that use leverage to amplify the sound signal by a factor of 1.7 and connect to a water-charged cochlea filled with fluid? The cochlea converts the mechanical leverage to a hydraulic system that amplifies the signal another 22 times. And what good is all of this without the 20,000 tiny hair cells (stereocilia) inside the cochlea that convert the fluid movement into an electrochemical signal that we can immediately comprehend as speech?

Clarifying My Perspective on Divorce and Marriage: The Role of the Holy Spirit
Divorce and ‘Marriage,’ Part 3: The Anointing — “Tell them about Pastor E.”
– –
1:08:00 “… That simply is not acceptable before God. He is not going to take a bride for Christ that is unfaithful to what Christ has taught.” – David Berkot
A century ago, it was extremely rare for a non-Christian—let alone a Christian—to obtain a divorce. Today, so-called Bible-believing Christians divorce one another just as frequently as does the world. The reason is that the Church has abandoned Christ’s teaching on divorce and remarriage.
In this message, Bercot looks at the New Testament teachings on divorce and explains how those passages were applied by the early Christians.
The fallout continues after Robert Morris resigned from Gateway Church over furor following allegations he molested a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s. Morris, 62, who resigned from Gateway last week, offered an initial statement on the allegations against him in which he again used the term “young lady.”
In that statement, he described what he said was “inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady” in a home he stayed in during his 20s. “It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong,” he said. The preacher went on to state that the behavior happened on “several occasions” over a number of years.
Morris said the situation was “brought to light” in 1987. He said he confessed, repented, sought counseling, and returned to ministry two years later with the support of the victim’s father. For the record, the accuser, Cindy Clemishire — now 54 — has denied the latter claim as well as the notion she was a “young lady” at the time, claiming the abuse started when she was just a child.
Clemishire joins CBN News to detail her allegations, to share her faith journey, and explain the reasons she’s speaking out.
“As I’m starting to learn things, obviously, the first person I always talk to is my husband, and I feel like he’s the more rational side of my brain.”
“..they are thee most faithful to the church of science. They are thee most faithful to the church of Satan.”
In a world of faith and flashy lights, megachurches and their pastors sometimes come with mega-drama… In Pastor Paula White’s world, alleged marital affairs, bankrupting churches, and using church money to pay for plastic surgery aren’t unheard of. As a young girl who lived in a trailer and became a young married mother, she grew up to become a preacher after an affair with the associate-pastor of her church (and not before they ran off together to start their own church). She went on to lead a congregation of 22,000, became a multimillionaire, hosted a Christian TV show, owned a private jet and an 8,000 sqft. beach-front home. But no matter how high she climbed, betrayal, greed, and multiple scandals have followed Paula her entire career and three marriages. This is the scandalous story and luxurious lifestyle of Pastor Paula White.

PROGRESS: Michael here calls himself “Michael Brown” instead of “Dr. Michael Brown,” what Jesus said not to do (Mt. 23:1-12). Michael has been a serial offender and a bad example. “Knowledge puffs up….”
NO PROGRESS & DISINFO: Michael can’t explain why God isn’t moving powerfully in our churches today, which to me, has been obvious for decades — lack of holiness. Still, no one teaches this verse, which should be our norm, that when we’re ONE with each other in Christ “the world will know,” Jesus’ promise in John 17. Paul: “..I also practice *ALWAYS* having a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENSE toward God and MEN” (Acts 24:16).
Many are calling churches “NAR,” when they are not. Michael explains.
Difference between getting the Holy Spirit during conversion and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Apostles still exist in this way.
The “kundalini spirit” nonsense.
By the way, I can’t leave comments under Michael’s videos, because he blocked me years ago; though, I was carefully sharing biblical truth. He’s been a serial blocker too, sadly. That’s how gatekeepers operate.
