Jesus in Matthew 7:13-21
“Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it. How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it. …
Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. …
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
IF YOU’RE GOING TO PREACH ABOUT GOD’S LOVE, PREACH ABOUT WHAT GOD HATES.
IF YOU PREACH ABOUT GOD’S MERCY, PREACH ABOUT GOD’S WRATH.
IF YOU MENTION HEAVEN, DON’T FORGET HELL.
PREACH THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD..(ACTS 20:27)
[“I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.”]

PAUL: “CONSIDER therefore the KINDNESS AND SEVERITY of God.”
“So DO NOT BE ARROGANT, but BE AFRAID. For if God did not spare the natural branches, PERHAPS HE WILL NOT SPARE YOU either. CONSIDER therefore the KINDNESS AND SEVERITY of God: to those who have fallen, severity; but to yoʋ, kindness, IF YOU CONTINUE in his kindness; OTHERWISE yoʋ too will be CUT OFF.”
– Romans 11:20-22
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
Almost no one, including most pastors have studied what the Bible REALLY says about salvation: who goes to heaven, who are God’s children — what the Bible REALLY says.
“Once saved always saved,” “only believe” and “it’s hard to lose one’s salvation is refuted by about 90 New Testament verses that pastors never preach. They may read them, but will never preach them, deceiving many; keeping the kingdom of God from happening that the world will know (Jesus’ prayer in John 17).
Paul said the fact checking Bereans were more noble because they fact checked Paul:
“Now these [the BEREANS] were MORE NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word [from Paul and Silas] with all readiness of the mind, EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO SEE WHETHER THESE THINGS WERE SO.” – Acts 17:11
David Sproule, March 4, 2016
“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.
In the margin next to John 3:16, you might write these two references above, and add Hebrews 5:9. John 3:16 says, “Whoever believes…should…have everlasting life.” Hebrews 5:9 teaches, “He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” Eternal salvation is for those who have an obedient faith. Believing, as God defines it, includes obeying.
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.
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)
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?
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.
Paul in Romans 11:
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]
NOTE: I Posted this in early January (2010) as a theory, simply titled: My Theory On Divorce, which is radically different to what is taught and practiced by many ‘Christians,’ today, but this is something I’ve believed for many years.
Also, I wrote these two articles to clarify further:

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.
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.

Derek Prince Spiritual or Soulish Worship in the church today. Derek Prince sermon states that one of the essential things for spiritual success is to be able to discern between the soulish and the spiritual. Derek Prince believes the church in modern times cannot discern the difference. Soulish worship appeals to the emotions, and its sounds very good, and it will stir you up emotionally but it doesn’t do within you you what needs to be done. So soulish Christians are very easily deceived. Derek Prince has 50 years worth of ministry experience and know what it looks like to put on an act. It will get people crying, giving and excited but it doesn’t really change people. This is the difference between spiritual and soulish Christianity.

My comment:
Totally true! Many “churches” today even crank the music to almost rock concert levels so people think something significant is happening; though, it’s all flesh, NOT the Holy Spirit. And most can’t tell that the service is spiritually dead, including pastors.
Many of the worship leaders are more interested in being seen than actually worshiping God. Most cannot worship in Spirit and in truth because they’re lust addicted, etc., walking in the flesh instead of in the Spirit.
Those who can see, who have the gift of discernment of spirits, if they tell what’s really going on, pastors reprimand them, and never apologize so they’re right with God and men, like Paul always made sure he was (Acts 24:16). They’re in BIG trouble with God!
It’s a show.
Not even one church in the US has a reputation for being alive today, let alone is alive. We’re not even at church-of-Sardis level!:
Rev. 3:1 “And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a REPUTATION OF BEING ALIVE, BUT YOU ARE DEAD. 2 Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before…God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you. 4 Nevertheless you have A FEW names in Sardis THAT DID NOT DEFILE their garments. They will walk with me in white, for THEY ARE WORTHY. 5 HE WHO *OVERCOMES* will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way BLOT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Thanks for posting!
NOTE: I definitely do not support all of Michael Brown’s views and practices. Michael supports the anti-Christ, NWO, Talmudic system that’s taking us down, while having admitted that Jesus strongly rebuked the Pharisees, who were Talmudists.
Most of what he says here is good, but his idea that the apostles were speaking in Armenian in Acts 2 and not in tongues is bizarre.
Biblically speaking, tongues are mainly people’s personal prayer language in which the Holy Spirit speaks through people mysteries that “no one understands,” which builds up the speaker.
The most popular, current false teaching says it can only be an Acts-2 experience in which foreigners understand, which the rest of the texts clearly refute.
Michael Brown mentions the blessing with the spirit aspect (verses 16 and 17).
I would add that I believe a main reason that Christians are built up when praying in tongues is because tongues is often perfectly praying against evil spirits, perhaps to angels in their language, who then deal with the demons. And this may be why Paul says tongues are praying in the language of men and angels in 1 Cor. 13:1. Praying in the Spirit can set us and others FREE!
Nice ending:
Brown: “Can we both agree and say ‘Father, we want everything that You have for us in the fullness of the Spirit to glorify Jesus and nothing that’s not from You. … I pray that for you. You pray that for me. Fair enough?”
Minor: “Fair enough.”
“Whoever practices sin is dominated by the enemy of God, the Devil.”
“By keeping yourself busy you ignore the true state of your soul.”
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” – James 4:7
Michael Brown tweeted this on X, while still everywhere calling himself “Dr.;” even though, Jesus warned against doing exactly that in Matthew 23:1-12:
Dr. Michael L. Brown
@DrMichaelLBrown
If the Lord does not return in our lifetimes, I believe that future generations will look back at the doctrine of cessationism with surprise and curiosity, wondering how anyone could deny that the Spirit was still speaking and healing and delivering on a regular basis.
My responses:

@JeffFenske
My take: People are denying that miracles still exist today because hardly any charismatics actually abide in Christ, because of the false doctrines of “once saved only saved,” “only believe,” and “it’s hard to lose one’s salvation” [Michael Brown teaches the latter]. The fear of God is now only “reverence.” Sin is rampant, so it’s easy for the woke to mock “Christians” now.
I wonder how many charismatics still pray in tongues regularly. Most ‘Christian’ men seem to be too busy lusting, walking according to the flesh instead of the Spirit, disqualifying them from the Kingdom.
Marijuana dulls consciences so they no longer recognize the Holy Spirit's warnings, causing many Christians to be prodigal — instead of dealing with, and overcoming our sins now so we can spend eternity in heaven.

Quotes I transcribed from the video (beneath their tweets):
“We’re not even talking about skinny jeans here. This is as easy as it can possibly get to where it would violate that standard. … That’s not legalism to obey God. … This is only a discussion that only takes place in a society that has basically chucked any concept of modesty. “
“What’s the motivation to want to wear something like that in the first place? Are we really to believe that the motivation is ‘well I think I’m glorifying God?’“
“The sin of a man is to want to get physical gratification out of people that you shouldn’t be. The sin of a women is to arouse interest that you shouldn’t want.”
TWEETS
Men lust after women and women lust to be lusted after by men.
Rom. 8:12-14 So then, BROTHERS… IF YOU LIVE AFTER THE FLESH you must die; but IF YOU PUT TO DEATH THE DEEDS OF THE BODY you will live. For as many as are LED BY THE SPIRIT of God, THESE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
A screenshot I made from what Jason Herrington wrote on Facebook.
Great to see people getting it! About 90 New Testament verses refute “once saved always saved,” “only believe,” and “it’s hard to lose one’s salvation.”
My article that I’m again offering $6,000 to anyone who can refute it: Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God? — “There is therefore now *no condemnation* to those who are IN CHRIST Jesus, who don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT”

Sin is serious, Apostle Paul told born again believers in (Romans 8:13) “they will die if they live according to the flesh.
(that means to die spiritually)
