Some of you know, I've just been on the receiving end of this with a guy called Jonathan McClure down at West Hill Baptist in Brighton
Okay. Now I checked before I started attending regularly. I checked with him. I asked him
I asked him about the repent of your sins because it's everywhere
And he denied that he believes you have to do anything but believe then I heard a preach from the pulpit and in their Sunday
school and saw it on their tracks
I
Think yeah, no, not another one. So I politely asked him to explain. What do you mean? What do you mean by this?
He said it's admitting you a sinner
That's it. Repent of your sins admitting you a sinner now. It doesn't make any sense. But you think you can let this guy go
So I pointed out how confusing it is politely really humbly. You know awkward the conversation I said, okay
Left it to him to think about really politely. I was it like
Again it maybe it's maybe it's a story. Maybe there are people like this. I didn't go in all guns blazing
I was polite about it
Okay, so I've given him the benefit of the doubt and then he's back to preaching grace through faith making a point of it
He's even takes it off some off these new tracks. He doesn't put it on his new tracks repent of your sins
I'm thinking amazing. Wow, great. Okay, so
I'm thinking okay, maybe maybe he was just parroting it and now he's repented brilliant. Yeah
Okay, so
Then a few months go by
And he preached a sermon on Wednesday the 27th of January
It's on Facebook if you're never look we're still Baptist Chapel hasn't been taken off yet
This is what he says. You must repent of your sins. You must turn from the world and trust Jesus
This is word for word. You cannot hold on to both. There must be a turning of your back on the world
That's what happens when we trust Christ. Some people say is this some you say I believe all of that
You know that belief thing, you know those words on the street about believe I believe all that
Well, I want to hold on here to the world. We can't have both its decision time
Then he goes on are we going to turn from our sins and turn to Christ or are we going to hold on to us in
I mean, this isn't just just
You must repent of your sins you must turn from the world and trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
You cannot hold on to both
There must be a turning of your back on the world and that's what happens when we trust Christ
Some people want to say, okay. Yeah, I believe all of that, but I'm gonna hold on here as well to the world
We can't have both
It's decision time
Are we going to trust Christ or are we not?
Are we going to turn from our sin and turn to Christ or are we going to hold on to our sin?
Then to confirm it all he goes to Matthew 19
There's a Matthew 19 the story the rich young ruler and says his concern was whether he would give his life to the Lord
He wanted to have his comforts and joys on earth. You can't have both
Now listen, yes save Christian might not be able to explain that story
Very clearly, but I'll tell you what the first time I read that I knew for worried
Jesus was giving an extreme here and when you study and we might do that another service you you start to understand exactly what's going
On there, but you cannot as a safe Christian. Look at that patch and go. Yes work salvation
What on earth? Yeah
So as you see they talk out of both sides their mouth the lies roll off the tongue with these guys because he's giving it
Oh, yeah, it's faith alone. Oh, no hundred percent. That's all you have to do
Okay, and they all preach, you know the gospel now listen
Yeah, if you're staying in a church like that, if you're staying in a church like that, then you're not only a compromiser
But the Bible says you will partake it in his evil deeds
You're a partaker in his evil deeds turn a second John
Second John
Second John verse 9
Whosoever transgressive and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ
He has both the Father and the Son if there come any unto you and bring not this stocks
Doctrine receive him not into your house
neither bid him God speed
Neither bid him God speed
So
Don't be a partaker don't go there befriend him and yeah, God bless your pastor and see you later and everything else
Oh, but we're commanded to go to church. Yeah, but this isn't at least places this place is not a church
Okay, it's not a church in God's eyes. You're not going to church
Okay, but yeah, don't be that guy that refuses to go anywhere. There is a post trip pre-wrath
But if he's preaching another gospel, however many times he gives lip service to grace through faith, you've got no business guy in there
Jesus Christ dealt with a young man that wanted to have both
Matthew chapter 19
verse 16
the Bible says and behold one came and
His concern was with the man's heart not his head
He went away sorrowful
The young man wanted to have both he wanted to have eternal life with the Lord
But he also wanted to have his comforts and his joys
here on this earth
You can't have
I
Have nothing to say
