Yes this is the Gospel, But Please take down the icons
Simply beautiful
A MASTERPIECE!!!!
Great Job I love that verse but more accurately it is the great doctrine of Substitution & IMPUTATION!!! Romans 4:5
That verse does not explain the gospel..it explains reconciliation..notice the preceeding verse. Verse 21 explains 1/2 of the gospel. John MacArthur preaches a legalistic gospel and is really a MAtt 5:19 cursed preacher. Many people wow him because they don’t know what the gospel is.
The latter part needs to be explained…”that we might be made the righteousness of God…IN him”
This is the essence o fthe gospel is restoration.
Jesus’ death can be a substitute for all on Earth yet, without trust, repentence, response and yielding to God’s grace and will…….IT IS WORTHLESS..like it will be for MILLIONS of Earthlings.
Look at Rom 5:10 and then Rom 1:16 before you look at Eph 2:8-10
John Mac is a false teacher and if you don’t think so, u r deceived like JESUS said would happen in MATT 24:24
The most corrupted/misdefined words in Christianity = gospel, grace, salvation.
The GOSPEL is the good news of God’s grace, or favor, by which man may be released from the condemnation of sin, and enabled to render acceptable obedience to the moral law.
Remember in Jesus’ time there were many false teachers and Jesus warned of them and confronted pharisees and saducees…
Just because most preachers say this or that about bible verses does not make it true.
LOOK AT 2 COR 11:14-15
Johnny Mac doesn’t even believe what he just preached especially when he questions the salvation of people like Obama, Billy Graham, Joel Osteen….J Mac acts like he is Jesus Christ.
@lucasboden Obama,and Osteen are both universalists who deny that Christ is the only way to God. Judge them by their fruit.
I do not disagree with you that Obama and Osteen’s belief is not necessarily biblical, but I do not question their faith in Christ nor their salvation. That is only left to God.
If you judge them by their fruits, I see more love in their followers than with Macarthur’s followers.
@lucasboden Can a person with an unbilical belief in Christ’s finished work on the cross actually have saving faith in Jesus Christ?
The Lord warns us against the egoistically selfish character of non-Christian, pagan love. In such egoistic love, the main element is the personal “I,” and our self gratification which we receive from this feeling.
“How to be a better YOU” ? “Your best life now”? What kind of love is this and who gets the glory?
It is not the correct belief or correct religion or correct theology that saves.
It is the living Christ who saves.
People can disagree and debate with someone on theology, but no one including Johnny Mac or I or you has the authority to say someone is condemned if they believe such and such no matter how much they think they know the Bible.
@lucasboden Back up the truck Chuck. The Bible says that satan will come as an angel of light and his agents as ministers of righteousness. I’ll go out on a limb here and say that satan claiming to be a “Christian” is damned.
Doctrine matters friend.
obama, joel osteen, billy graham are not satan. they are imperfect beings just like you and me who have accepted Jesus as their Savior.
Who are you to say that these people are satan’s agents?
@lucasboden Simply name the name of Christ and you are automatically a Christian? Any heretical teaching that spews out thereafter is covered by the blood of Christ? I disagree and while love does cover a multitude of sins it apparently doesn’t cover them all.
Teaching and theology doesn’t require forgiveness and salvation. People do.
You have the authority like anyone else to condemn bad teachings and theology, but you nor I have absolutely zero authority to claim someone is or isn’t saved.
Where did I question their salvation? In what post? I simply said they are not Christians You can get up in the morning and call yourself the Easter Bunny but that doesn’t make it so..
@RMCDisciple
AMEN! brother doctrine matters, we must enter by the narrow road which leads to life. We know them by their fruits. If they deny CHRIST is the only way or preach another JESUS they are false and not part of the kindgom of GOD however we must pray for their repentance.
@tabitha2644 Thank you Sister. The Apostle Paula,d John named names and I don’t believe we should fear do so either. We should defend the Gospel.
Have you listened to John MacArthur’s sermon on the narrow gate and the broad way? Very good teaching.
I do certainly pray for their repentence and I must repent myself from coming across too harshly in my posts.
Peace
Mr Macarther has violated The Reformation, John Calvin himself called the Premillennialism of John MAcarther to be the height of foolishness. When add to that Macarthers dispensationalism, which Calvin didn’t respond to cause it wasn’t invented till the 1800s including Pre-trip ratpure, hes in no place to claim the Reformation.
Right on, Pastor!!
I’ve always liked Kirk Cameron since “Growing Pains”; John MacArthur is one of my great heroes of the Christian faith. I wonder if this interview was at Trinity Broadcasting. The False-Prosperity-Gospel Kool-Aid drinkers at TBN don’t deserve to even step onthe same ground as John MacArthur.
Imputation is the heart of the Gospel. We are born (imputed, credited, reckoned) with Adams sin. Our sin is imputed, credited, reckoned) to Christ. In His resurrection His righteousness is (imputed, credited, reckoned) to our account. Thank You Jesus…
