chapter 14 the Bible reads and it came to pass as he went into the house of one
of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath day that they watched him
and behold there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy and
Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees saying is it lawful to
heal on the Sabbath day and they held their peace and he took him and healed
him and let him go and answered them saying which of you shall have an ass or
an ox fallen into a pit and when I straightway pull him out on the Sabbath
day and they cannot answer him again to these things and he put forth the
parable to those which were bidden when he marked how they chose out of the
chief room saying unto them now are bidden of any man to a wedding sit not
down in the highest room lest a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him
and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee give this man place and that
begin with shame to take the lowest room when thou art bidden go and sit down in
the lowest room that when he that bade thee cometh he may say unto thee friend
go up higher then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit
at meet with thee for whosoever's exalted himself shall be abased and he
that humbled himself shall be exalted then he said also to him that bade him
when thou make us to dinner or a supper call not thy friends nor they brethren
neither thy kinsmen nor thy rich neighbors lest they also bid thee again
and recompense be made thee but now make us a feast call the poor the maimed the
lame and blind and thou shalt be blessed but they cannot recompense thee
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just and when one of
them that sat at me with him heard these things he said unto him blessed is he
that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God then he said unto him a certain man
made a great supper and bade many and sent a servant at suppertime to say to
them that were bid and come for all things are now ready and they all with
one consent began to make excuse the first said unto him I have bought a
piece of ground and I must needs go to and see it I pray thee have me excused
and another said I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go to prove them I pray
thee have me excused and another said I have married a wife and therefore I
cannot come so that servant came and showed his Lord these things then the
master of the house being angry said to his servant go out quickly into the
streets and lanes of the city and bring in hither the poor and the maimed and
the halt and the blind and the servant said Lord it is done as thou is
commanded and yet there's room and the Lord said unto the servant go out into
the highways and hedges and compel them to come in that my house may be filled
for I say unto you that none of those men which were bit and shall taste of my
supper and there went great multitudes with them and he turned and said unto
them if any man come to me and hate not his father and his mother and wife and
children and brethren and sisters yea and his own life also he cannot be my
disciple and whosoever does not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my
disciple for which of you intending to build a tower so it's not down first and
count at the cost whether he has sufficient to finish it lest happily
after he had laid the foundation and is not able to finish it all that behold it
begin to mock him saying this man began to build and was not able to finish or
what King going to make war against another King sit down not down first and
consulteth whether he be able with 10,000 to meet him that cometh against
him with 20,000 or else while the other is yet a great way off he sendeth an
ambush and desired the conditions of peace so likewise whosoever he of be of
you that forsaketh not all that he hath he cannot be my disciple salt is good
but the law salt is lost his saber wherein shall be salted it is neither
fit for the land nor yet for the dung hill but men cast cast it out he that
hath ears to hear let him hear let's pray to look I just thank you for every
soul at this church Lord and we just thank you for pastor we pray that you
bless him right now and fill him with your Holy Spirit as he preaches us to
us Lord and and I just pray that we're able to receive a word with gladness
tonight Lord and we pray this all in Jesus name Amen
amen the title my sermon this evening is new IFB versus old IFB charting the
differences new IFB versus old IFB charting the differences this morning I
preached a sermon called what kind of church is this and I was explaining why
we're an independent fundamental Baptist Church and some of the distinctions of
our church as a fundamental Baptist Church and why it's important for us to
be honest and open about how and what we believe in some of our practices this
evening I want to be more specific and kind of tell you the differences between
a new IFB Church which is exactly what we are and the old IFB Church
essentially referring to our spiritual ancestors as the best way to put it we
are essentially the offspring so to speak of the old IFB and I want to talk
about the differences between two now I actually gave her the Cody the wrong
chapter I gave him chapter 14 we're supposed to reach to chapter 5 but
luckily you know as I was reading this I was like I found something that I could
use to apply to the sermon look at verse 34 of chapter 14 it says salt is good
but if the salt hath lost its savor wherewith shall it be seasoned and you
know what when you think about the old IFB old IFB is the right type of salt
it goes on the meat of the word which is the King James the only problem is they
lost their savor they're no longer seasoning this world with what it used
to be they've lost the flavor they lost the seasoning in their preaching even in
their doctrine and some even in their practices and so we want to be salt the
salt of the earth and retain our saltiness and really when you think
about it the new IP that's exactly what it is it's not salty movement that is
out there you know exposing the wickedness of this world we are salt in
an open wound of sin and false doctrine but we also bring flavor to life by the
preaching of God's Word and help people realize that hard preaching still works
and that the doctrines of the Bible are not boring they're very much exciting
they're relevant and we keep people alive using salt because we are a
soul-winning Church and so that's the application now go to chapter 5 if you
would chapter 5 you can never really read from the wrong chapter when you're
preaching from the Bible because it's all the Bible's good amen but look at
chapter 5 if you would in verse 26 I'm sorry verse 36 of chapter 5 it says
here and he spake also a parable unto them no man put it the a piece of a new
garment upon an old if otherwise then both the new mark maketh at rent and the
piece that was taken out of the new agreeeth not with the old and no man
put his new wine into old bottles else the new wine will burst the bottles and
be spilled and the bottle shall perish but new wine must be put into new
bottles and both are preserved no man also having drunk old wine straight with
for he saith the old is better now before I get into the interpretation of
what this means and the application thereof I'm gonna explain to you what
the sermon is about tonight as I mentioned I want to give the distinction
between old IFP and new IFP and what what's that in relation to us what are
the major differences between the two and you know the differences are
doctrinal and practical so it's not only a difference in doctrine but it's also a
difference in how we do church how we practice our ministry they're very much
different in a lot of different ways and the new IFP as I mentioned are the
spiritual we are the spiritual offspring of the old IFP let me say this like with
every movement there are times when the previous generation begins to decay and
wax old and veer off the path and therefore a new generation has to arise
take up the baton take the torch and carry on the movement that upheld the
fundamentals of the faith upheld the practices of a biblical New Testament
local church and improve it right now make up new doctrines not make up new
methods actually going back to the old ways of doing things and just simply
make them better you know we are here to strengthen the things which remain which
are ready to die right and unfortunately when you look at old IFP churches in
general not all of them but in general a lot of them are dying churches one of
them because of the fact that they're not reaching the new generation and
because they're not reaching them the church is filled with a lot of gray
heads there's nothing wrong with it having gray heads in the church we will
we want a variety of different heads in the church we want young people in the
church because it's proof that we're reaching new people and new generation
that's important but you know unfortunately a lot of the old life be
they're not doing that anymore and it could be for a variety of reasons one
being that maybe they're not evangelizing anymore they're not so
wanting anymore or could be that because they're not offering preaching that's of
substance they're actually losing their generation to the liberal churches you
know the the younger generation are attracted by the glitz and the glamour
the purple lights and the smoke and all that smoke and mirrors and so they end
up leaving old IFP churches to join these non-denom liberal mega fun centers
because they think it's better okay and so they're losing a lot of that now we
don't have that problem in fact we got a lot of young our church is fairly young
and we do have some old heads in our church not an offensive way that's a
good thing but you know we do have a younger generation we have young
families and I believe that's a testament to the fact that we are
evangelism a lot of new people now in the process of a new generation taking
over strengthening the things which remain you're always going to have
someone or churches individuals who think that the old is better right and in
Luke chapter 5 we have an example of that we have an example and it's
referring to Judaism or the religion of the Old Testament that ended up
metamorphosizing into Judaism and obviously the book of Luke is part of
the Gospels it's highlighting that transitional period between old covenant
and new covenant so when the men of God Jesus Christ his disciples are preaching
about the new covenant there was a lot of Jews during that day they thought
that the old was better they did not agree with the new they didn't agree
with the new covenant they didn't agree with the new preaching they didn't agree
with you know these fishermen who were unlearned and you know weren't
necessarily learned in letters they weren't Pharisees or Sadducees they
didn't receive the right education they didn't agree with them but you know what
they were the men of God they were used greatly of the Lord they were selected
by God to carry out the task of essentially bringing about the inception
of the local New Testament Church in the New Testament and so you know but you
know and just like you have Jews in the Old Testament who did not agree with the
new covenant they thought that the old was better guess what there are many
churches today that still think that the old IFB is better and so I'm gonna
explain to you what are some of the differences and here's the thing is that
I love old IFB churches I know of old IFB churches I like them I think they're
great and you know I was reached through an old IFB church now that was previous
to it being labeled as old IFB and you know I learned a lot I learned all the
essentials of the faith I learned a lot of ministry practices I gain Christian
virtue and practices I'm very much grateful for my old IFB church for sure
but obviously I think that the new is better as testified by the fact that
this is a new IFB church and this is not a slam on the old IFB they just need to
catch up and start seeing it this way because our way is not a liberal way you
see the old IP would often complain about the fact that people are veering
off getting liberal you know going towards the CCM route and going towards
the purple light and the non-denom look and all this and that and the other but
that's not what we're doing we're actually getting we're actually more
strict than the old IFB we are on the opposite side of liberalism we would be
considered radical extremists you know the fundamentalists of years past and so
we want them to catch up to that and you know what the reality is this in my
assessment based upon fundamental Baptist churches across America a lot of
them are kind of inching their way towards us and I don't think all of them
will ever reach to where we're at in the sense of they're not they're not all
gonna see it our way but I'm perfectly fine with that as long as they move just
a couple inches closer doctrinally that's great as long as we move a couple
inches closer so there's so many more that's great as long as we move them a
couple inches closer to holiness that's great but you know what the reality is
this in order for the fundamental Baptist movement to continue to survive
and thrive we have to send out pastors we have to train them we have to start
churches and not rely on old IFP churches converting to new IFP we just
need a birth some new new IFP churches okay so this evening I want to talk to
I want to talk about the doctrinal differences and practical differences of
the old IP and new IP go to Galatians chapter 1 if you would Galatians chapter
number 1 Galatians chapter number 1 I know it's hot in here but just keep in
mind that it's hotter out there and the old IP they used to say it's hot but
hell is hotter okay well obviously you know but you know we don't necessarily
have this problem it's hot in here but it's way hotter out there and so bear
with me this evening try your best to stay awake and pinch yourself pull the
the hairs off your legs if you have to to keep yourself awake okay let's talk
about doctrinal differences between old IFP and new IFP and before I get into
that let me just preface this with this statement here and that is I I don't
believe there's a problem with people who are new IFP listeners going to an
old IFP Church and in fact I encourage that I think that's a good option and
you know unfortunately I meet a lot of people online they just always have a
problem with that and they always tell me hey do you know a church in this area
and I'm like just choose the closest fundamental Baptist Church and they go
there and they're just like I don't like it at Zionists it's pre-trib you know
and I'm thinking to myself I pretty much thrived in a Zionist pre-trib church for
ten years I was there for ten years you know listening to that and things that
I didn't agree with but I love that church I love the people of that church
I had a great time in that church I want people to Christ in that church I
thrived I was serving there I had a future there I love that church and I
think any Christian can thrive in an old IFP Church I don't believe it's inferior
in any way as far as spiritually is concerned you can thrive there God can
bless you there you can use you to be a blessing to the pastor to the people
etc but here's the thing if you're just like set and you're just like I will not
go to an old IFP Church okay then stop complaining and move then because the
option is never why just I'm just not gonna go to church period not going to
church is not a better alternative to go into a whole IFP Church let me just
explain that make that very clear it's just like oh I'd rather just not go to
church at all that's not an option your only other option is move or go to that
old IFP Church until you're ready to move to a new IFP Church but if you
can't do that then thrive and enjoy what you have near you now thankfully we
don't have that issue there's a new IFP Church right here right and so you know
I always tell people that now I get it though I get it 100% old IFP churches
are getting to a point where it's almost like it's getting to that point where
it's really hard to stay in an old IFP Church okay because before we're like
well you know there's ice and pre-trib whatever but I'm gonna explain some of
the doctrinal differences that maybe wasn't there five ten years ago as
strong as it is right now so problem number one doctrinal differences
salvation now in general all I have be they believe right on salvation okay my
old IFP Church they taught the right things about salvation my father-in-law
taught the right things about salvation the assistant pastors taught the right
thing about salvation and in general the members taught the right things
about salvation I mean there was no question the salvation was by grace
through faith alone it was by believing on Jesus Christ we were a soul winning
church and so you can see it on the tracks and that was just what we
believed okay and in general they believe right on salvation but here's
the problem is that they will often turn a blind eye to those who don't have the
right salvation and will even fellowship with people who don't have
the right salvation that's a problem so it's weird that you hold to the right
salvation but somehow you just make an exception for heretics or something just
because they're fundamental Baptists it's almost as if well they're
fundamental Baptist so they're brothers yeah but what if he's saying you have
to repent of your sins to be saved that's a major problem you know it
sounds like you're being a respecter of people and so I get it when sometimes
when when Christians are like I can't go to this old IP Church because even
though they claim to believe in the right salvation the pastor keeps putting
heretics behind the pulpit as guest preachers preaching candle heresy you
know I would have a problem with that for sure because it's like if you
believe salvation is by grace your faith alone and that is your biblical
conviction you can prove it from the Bible that's how you get people saved
it's on your doctrinal statement why do you put someone behind the sacred desk
to teach otherwise that's a problem that's a major difference look at
Galatians chapter 1 if you would Galatians chapter 1 verse number 6 I
marvel the year so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ
unto another gospel which is not another but there be some that trouble you and
will pervert the gospel of Christ but though we or an angel from heaven preach
any other gospel unto you than that which you have preached unto you let him
be a curse and if you missed it the first time he repeats it the second time
as we said before so say I now again if any man preach any other gospel unto you
than that which he have received let him be a curse the Bible says go to the
second Corinthians chapter 11 second Corinthians chapter 11 the Apostle Paul
is speaking to a Bible believing Church they were one to Christ by the Apostle
Paul the Apostle Paul has the right gospel and he's saying you know people
are creeping in teaching another gospel these people are a curse you know the
Bible says have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather
approve them and you know what I don't care if a pastor is right about CCM and
he's wrong if he's wrong on salvation he's wrong David cloud can have all
kinds of literature against CCM and against the liberal movements and mega
churches and he does all this exposure of these types of churches but he's
wrong on salvation he's constantly teaching you have to repent of your
sins to be saved that's heretical that man's accursed and you know what my
problem is sometimes with the old IFP is that they don't make a big enough deal
about that they will look at something like this and say oh he's overboard you
know you're taking them out of context you just you know you're just you know I
don't I think he believes in the right salvation when he literally has articles
and articles and articles preaching that you have to repent of your sins to be
saved I had someone send me articles from him and and I told them it was
about something unrelated to the topic and I said I don't read anything from
David cloud because he's not saved he said what makes you think he's not saved
he believes you have to repent of your sins you to be saved so he said and so
later on he sent me articles about salvation from David cloud and he goes
yeah it seems like he believes right about salvation and it took me about 60
seconds because on your phone you can just highlight and you know new IP people
we're just like we're better than AI you know I mean we're just like works works
works works works we're gonna say that heretic you know you just you just see
it all so it took me about 60 seconds to just highlight everything and send it
right back and say here's you know you get a d-minus you know here's all the
answers you got wrong and I'm trying to show him like this guy is not saved look
at all the heresy that he has about salvation and you know this guy that
sent this to me he is saved he's a godly man he loves the Lord he's serving God
but the problem is when doctrine is not emphasized you begin to make exceptions
to the rule and you're not really honed in on pointing out heresy sometimes and
and you know we catch a lot of flack as new FB for being too critical but you
know these people are not critical enough that's the problem all you guys
are too critical thank you that's why I can see all the heresy you're not
critical enough you need to judge these matters and stop letting people have a
pass just because they're IFP and have conservative music if they have the
wrong salvation they can sing the hymns all the way to hell at the end of the
day so yeah you know what the old IP is great when it comes to salvation but for
some stinking reason they don't see a problem with promoting false prophets
look at the Bible says 2nd Corinthians chapter 11 verse 3 the Apostle Paul here
again says but I fear let's find a means as the serpent beguiled Eve through his
subtlety so your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in
Christ for if he that cometh and preaches another Jesus whom we have not
preached or if you receive another spear which you have not received or another
gospel which you have not accepted you might kick him out is that what it says
no it says you might well bear with him meaning you know I'm worried about you
guys because sometimes people preach another Jesus another gospel have
another spirit and you bear with him you get up and make excuses and say well
he's a little off on this area you know but he's right in a lot of other areas
if he's wrong on salvation he's wrong on everything so what's a major difference
between old IFP new IP well one is this matter of salvation not that they're not
saved but they often promote fundamental Baptists who preach a wrong gospel and
you know what I don't even care if the guy preaches hard if he has the wrong
gospel folks Pentecostals preach hard there's there's there's some Spanish
Pentecostals Pentecostal preachers that will preach the house down against
alcohol fornication worldliness and all this that and the other but they're
gonna split out wide open because they're not saying that stuff doesn't
matter if you're not saved so you know you can have some fundamental Baptist
pastor preaching hard preaching hard against liberalism promoting Trump he's
against Kamala preaching against all the liberalism and the leftists and
preaching against CCM and the purple lights and the mega churches and all but
if the guy's preaching a false gospel he's a heretic should not be promoted
now let me just say obviously I understand that not all old IFP
preachers are like this I am painting the old IFP with the broad brush guilty
is charged but do you know why I'm doing that because the majority of them do
this the majority of them are like that even at the churches that I've attended
that's how they are and they have a tendency to turn a blind eye to it you
know what old IP needs to tighten up the screw there and not just make exception
because they're fundamental Baptists and you know what just because you have
fundamental Baptists on your name does not exempt you for being called out like
well we call out the liberals but we should never call out fundamental
Baptists you're getting called out if you're a heretic plain and simple
because God is no respecter of people and so old IFP new IP new IP one old IFP
zero okay in that area they're saved they have the right gospel and in fact
if you're to attend one of their services and the pastor would have
witnessed to you he probably get you saved if you weren't saved because they
have the right gospel but it's just weird for whatever reason they have a
tendency to promote and a lot of people behind their pulpit who do not preach a
right gospel and that is wrong okay go to Hebrew chapter 8 Hebrew chapter 8
Hebrews chapter number 8 if you would you know God exalts a church that abhors
evil that does not put up with and tolerate false apostles false prophets
that's a good thing I think you're just critical the Bible calls that judgment
and so God expects us to judge all right number two I don't want to belabor that
point but that's a big point number two as far as differences between old IFP
new IP dispensationalism this is a major difference between old and new IFP okay
most fundamental Baptist churches are dispensational and you know they believe
in a preacher rapture they believe the Jews are God's chosen people and
obviously there's a wide spectrum of dispensational beliefs and most old IP
churches fit on that spectrum okay you know there's like an extreme
dispensationalism and then there's like a moderate dispensationalism and I would
say the majority of fundamental Baptists are on the moderate side of
dispensationalism not on the extreme side you say what do you mean by extreme
well dispensationalism is the belief that God has dispensed different ways of
dealing with mankind especially in regards to salvation so they believe
that people were saved differently throughout history okay they were saved
by works in the Old Testament and we are in the church age I'll be at the LA at
the sea in Church Age where people are saved by grace through faith but in the
book of Revelation people will be saved once again by works that is a false
gospel okay and that is heretical now that but they also believe in the
doctrine of Church Ages so they will interpret the seven churches which are
in Asia in Revelation 2 & 3 as essentially describing these different
ages that churches have gone through throughout history that essentially
describe how those churches were in that era which is why a lot of the times they
say that we're in the land to see in church era because they're basically
saying that they're lukewarm now we hold to a post trip pre-wrath rapture and we
believe in replacement theology because it's in the Bible and it's very much
easy to prove these things but you know a lot of these fundamental Baptist
churches that are old IP churches they are not willing to and this is one major
problem with fundamental Baptist churches of yesteryear is that they're
not willing to discuss these things and just open up the Bible and say look this
is what the Bible says and that that's one thing that has bothered me for the
last seven eight years nine years or so is that when I've wanted to sit down
with some of these people with Bible in hand and just humbly discuss these
issues they don't want to do that now why not the truth fears no investigation
okay and if the truth fears those investigation let's discuss these things
and but I'm gonna tell you why they don't okay because they know that you'll
prove them wrong they're afraid of the fact that they're wrong and they don't
want to come to grips with the fact that their beloved Jews are not God's chosen
people you know they have like this the superstitious view of the Jews and you
know this is just what's been promoted to them and I've talked to people and
I'm telling you not a single old IFP leader or pastor has ever wanted to
discuss this matter with me even when I've just kind of just humbly come to
them and ask them let's just talk about this they don't want to do it because
they don't want to face reality they want to live in a fantasy world where
they still believe you know the dispensational truth of the Jews being
God's people and you know that they're gonna be gone before all this stuff
happens or whatever but it's wrong okay now let me say a couple things about
dispensationalism as I mentioned the extreme aspect is when people believe
that people are saved differently throughout history and this is not
indicative of all fundamental Baptist churches these are ruck tarts okay
they're they're just backwoods hillbilly inbred ruck tard fools their asses
they're just the the most idiotic group of the fundamental Baptist I'm so
ashamed of them okay because of the fact that they call themselves fundamental
Baptists okay because Peter Ruckman you know he popularized dispensationalism
within the fundamental Baptist circles even though it existed prior to that he
popularized it and spread it through fundamental Baptist churches and they
believe some of the most out-of-pocket off-the-wall doctrines that you will
ever hear okay just crazy and I'm not gonna get into all of them because we
made a film called dispensation of heresy and we highlight all that you
could probably look it up on YouTube I don't know where it's at exactly so
that's the extreme version of it okay where you know I mean I what's I'm just
trying to think of like the most wildest thing you know Peter Ruckman said that
when the rapture takes place there would just be pints of blood everywhere where
people were raptured because flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of
God so his interpretation of that was that when you get rapture just pints of
blood right there right here just blub just blood everywhere because your blood
can't go to heaven that's why we call them rectards because they're
spiritually retarded that's the dumbest nonsense I've ever heard okay well you
shouldn't call them retarded they are retarded they're stupid who in their
right mind would look at the Bible and say oh that means there's gonna be all
kinds of blood everywhere when people get rapture so that's the extreme
version but you know the moderate dispensationalists a fundamental Baptist
churches are those who hold to Zionism and the pre-tribulation rapture you know
many churches are like this and at the end of the day it's just very easily
debunked and I will say this is that I've noticed a trend over the last maybe
three years or so where a lot of old IP churches are stunning starting to inch
their way into believing correctly on end times Bible prophecy and even
correctly on the Jews before it was like a hot button or it's like you just
could not touch that you know you say and you're just like air dick but now
you know it's just like how can you deny it you have the internet is so much
information out there obviously the Bible is crystal clear about it and
they're starting to realize oh man you know maybe they're right about this now
here's my personal opinion why a lot of the old IP aren't really fighting a
whole lot of people on these two issues as much as before it's because a lot of
their members have been converted to that position and unfortunately a lot of
old IP pastors they're kind of you know they're servants of men and so if they
have a majority of people in their church leaning towards more a
post-tribulation of pre-wrath rapture leaning towards more and replacement
theology they have to try to placate that side so they're not gonna fight
them on it so as long as they're the majority oh they'll hit you hard with it
but once they start realizing that they're the minority and a lot more
people are holding to the biblical position on the Jews and the end times
prophecy then at that point it's just like well you know that's not really a
big deal you love the Lord I love the Lord
the world was all that talk before and it doesn't take much to prove replacement
theology either and let me just say this if you ever run into a friend who
believes in that both pre-trib and Zionism go for Zionism first and then go
for the pre-trib after okay Zionism because Zionism is it's very easy to
prove I mean so is you know excuse me now replacement theology is super easy
to prove and it's in and Zionism Zionism is easy to debunk and so is the
preacher but the preacher requires like their understanding of end times
prophecy but replacement theology you can just take the legs off of that super
easy okay there's plenty of verses you can just quote and they won't really
have an answer for it okay Romans 2 28 you have Revelation 2 and 3 Ephesians
chapter 2 all the book of Galatians virtually all the book of Hebrews you
have John 8 44 there are certain verses that I've quoted to people that they
still haven't I'm still waiting and it's just there's no answer to that they told
me it's out of context but they never really quite gave me the context now
look at Hebrews chapter 8 and this is one of my favorite verses to use
against Zionism because it's so crystal clear look at verse 10 referring to the
New Covenant it says here for this is the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel after those days so who is he making the covenant with Israel
right the house of Israel and obviously this new covenant includes Gentiles as
well he says say the Lord I will put my laws into their mind and write them in
their hearts and I want you to notice these these last two phrases here and I
will be to them a God now doesn't that imply that he's currently not their God
if he's saying I will be to them a God it's basically saying I'm not your God
at the current moment oh look at the second phrase and they shall be to me a
people imply that they're currently not the people of God so in order for this
promise to make sense in order for this verse to make logical sense we have to
come to the conclusion that the house of Israel does not have the God of the
Bible as their God and the house of Israel is not the people of God because
then that wouldn't make sense if they were currently the people of God and God
was their God okay and so the Bible tells us for he is not a Jew which is
one outwardly neither is that circumcision outward in the flesh made
of hands but he is a Jew which is one inwardly a circumcision is that of the
heart and of the spirit whose praise is not a man but of God it's like no the
the Jew is referring to those who are in Israel and you know at the Wailing Wall
you know and doing this or whatever but let me tell you why there's two reasons
why old IFP churches have been into the lie of Zionism hook line and sinker
this is two reasons why okay reason number one is dispensationalism okay
via the CI VI's via CI Schofield Peter Ruckman reason number two is because old
IFP are more interested in politics than in the Bible so they view the Bible
through a political lens Zionism is a political agenda that has infiltrated
churches into making people think that it's a doctrinal you know position but
it's not it's a political ideology that has infiltrated churches and made people
think churches think that it has to do with the Bible okay that's the reason
why so old IFP the reason they've bitten into this because they're too much into
politics they're well they're way more versed on policies and what the
president said the position of Republicans more than what the Bible
says they read the Word of God through the lens of politics talk radio and the
like okay and so you know you said well how do I prevent that yeah how about you
just turn off political talk and just read the Bible well then I'm I won't
know what's going on and I won't fear for my life every single day and I'm not
gonna stress and I'm not gonna have anxiety and I'm not gonna yeah that's a
good idea but I know some of you are just addicts to anxiety you're just
addicts to fear your addicts to just bad news and so be it if that's what you
want to do then so be it but folks God did not give us the spirit of fear but a
power love and a sound mind and that is attained through the scriptures okay all
right go to go to first John chapter 2 if you would first John chapter 2 and so
you know that's a major difference between old IP new IP is their
dispensational position and quite frankly I'll be honest with you it's
really easy to debunk this when you speak to them because of the fact that
they're not really well versed in these positions they don't really know how to
answer a lot of this stuff because they've never really been challenged
with this okay and so and people say well dispensations that's in the Bible
yeah it's mentioned like four times in the Bible then why is it the
dispensationalist come up with like seven different dispensations if it's
only mentioned like three or four times in the Bible what's where's all these
seven different dispensations from it's crazy all right number three I must
hasten here and I'm gonna breeze through this one because I've already kind of
mentioned it doctrinal differences between old IP new IP is the Bible now
obviously all that beer King James only amen that's what they taught us this is
why our conviction is so strong because they taught us about this but
unfortunately most fundamental Baptist churches use the Schofield reference
Bible so you know it's great to use the King James but unfortunately you're
reading the King James through CI Schofield which is why a lot of
fundamental Baptist hold to the gap theory they hold to Zionism
dispensationalism they read they read it through the lens of hyper
dispensationalism look at 1st John chapter 2 in verse 26 it says these
things have a written unto the written unto you concerning them that seduce you
but the anointing which he have received of him abideth in you and ye need not
that any man teach you but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and
is truth and is no lie and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him
that does just need to get back to the ministry of the Holy Spirit you know
what it's not as fast as a commentary it's not as fast as the references in
the Bible but you know what it's quality interpretation you know prayer and
submitting to the ministry of the Holy Spirit opened out mine eyes that I may
behold wondrous things out of thy law study to show thyself approve them to
God at workmen the need is not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of
truth they'll get the truth and you know I was to a certain extent I guess a
dispensationalist no tomatoes please I will you know I believe the Jews were
God's chosen people because I was part of that and we weren't hardcore in it
it's just like the narrative of the old IFP and I specifically remember in 2009
I was reading my Bible I was reading through Romans and I read Romans 2 28 to
29 and I was like oh we're the Jews but it was weird though because I still
believe that the Jews were God's chosen people but why did I believe that
because of dispensationalism see I Schofield and all that but I had this
new thought introduced by the Bible that we were the Jews you said what did you
do with that nothing I just I didn't even like think about it and then I
remember going soul winning with someone in our church and later we found out
that this guy was like a reformer he was like a Protestant he was a Calvinist
and he was like he was trying to like indoctrinate me and I remember like he
was like he was sitting there and he goes hey Bruce so you know you know who
the true the real Jews are right because you know some Calvinists are actually
replacement theology they call it covenant theology but you know they
believe in replacement theology to a certain extent and so you know who the
Jews are I was like yeah us and he's like yeah yeah you're right I was like
yeah the Bible says and I quoted Romans 2 20 hours like I just read that in my
Bible a couple weeks ago and he thought like I was all the way but I wasn't all
the way because I was still kind of like having that dispensational view and so
you know once I went all the way and I understood replacement theology and I
felt like a idiot because you know I've read the Bible multiple times before
that and I just didn't see it but it kind of shows you it shows you how
powerful heresy can be how strong those those bottle cap dispensational lenses
are were like you could literally be reading the book of Galatians and not
even think twice about the fact that it's a book just completely debunking
Zionism you know they're just we're just kind of blinded to that I was blinded to
that for a while but let me say this once I came across the truth and I
studied it for myself I literally saw it like on every page I guess I'm reading
the Bible I'm like it's right there it's right there it's right there it's right
there it's right there and then in my mind I'm just like everything's about
the Jews you know he's reading the New Testament it's just like it's to the
point where I remember like when we started the church our preaching sermon
like the three enemies of the New Testament is like one of them was the
Jews you know I'm like that's all over the New Testament it's true and now when
I read them I'm like oh man it's just right how can how could I have missed it
but I'll tell you how I missed it the same way every other Baptist misses it
and that is they're reading it through a preconceived idea false doctrine that
has been inserted and it's hard for them to see it they have to put that stuff
away just get a Bible read it you know what have a bias for truth okay not a
bias for what fundamental Baptists believe have just a bias for truth and
you'll come to the right conclusions okay let's move on here go to John
chapter 12 if you would John chapter 12 doctrinal differences of new IFP old IFP
here's a big one the rapper Bay doctrine you know fundamental Baptists in general
old IFP don't really hold to the rapper Bay doctrine and this is a kind of an
odd one if you think about it because they're so conscious of souls and they
understand salvation and they understand that people in hell can't be saved so
it's kind of weird why they wouldn't agree with the reppery doctrine and I've
even remember being in old IFP churches where they preached like a form of
reppery doctrine and it's you kind of listen he's like well that was a
reppery doctrine right there you know God's three deadlines that's the
reppery doctrine right there but they don't want to call it the reppery
doctrine and in my opinion it's because it's associated with the new IFP and
they hate the new IFP that's probably just it okay but this is strongly
attached to the sodomites in their eyes so one of the reasons they reject the
reppery doctrine and they just don't they think it's heretical or whatever
it's not because they can't they can't debunk it or it's not because they can
debunk excuse me it's because of the fact that they don't really like our
disposition against the sodomites because they're reprobate in our eyes
and so they're like oh man you're saying they can never be saved but you know
that's also weird that you would take offense for the homos what is wrong with
you and you kind of wonder like well what's the deal with that you know what
because I get people ask me that all the time like why is our old IFP so
sympathetic towards the sodomites why is that what's the issue with them just
being so sympathetic towards them and the reason why in my opinion is because
they're afraid of them they're scared of them because they think if they take the
position that we take about the reppery doctrine they're gonna catch flak they're
gonna catch some persecution and you know people are gonna get mad at them
and they're gonna offend some of their church members but you know what then
they're up there for the wrong reasons okay and why are you afraid of a fag
anyways what's wrong with you if God before us you can be against us God
smoked an entire city of homos they're basically made of glass they're just you
know like why are you afraid of the sodomites and you know what if you're a
pastor and you're afraid of them you're afraid to speak out against them the
price shouldn't be a pastor because as a pastor you're supposed to have boldness
supposed to have courage you're supposed to be an example to the flock you're
supposed to exemplify you know what the Bible says about being a man of God and
loving righteousness and is chewing evil and you know you can't do that
sympathizing with sodomites and it would be different if it's like these old IP
churches had a ministry for sodomites or something you're attacking our
ministry but they don't have a ministry for sodomites because deep down inside
they don't like them either they find them disgusting too that's just the
reality but in my opinion it's probably because they're just afraid of them or
something okay and I'm painting old IP with a broad brush with this as well
because not all of them are like this and may I say in my assessment over the
last maybe three years I've seen a lot of old IP even inch their way towards
the ripe of a doctrine belief okay cuz you know there's a guy his name is Tony
Hudson he's a pastor in the south and I'm not a really big fan of southern
preachers so just let me just go on and say that other than pastor Shelley and
you know pastor birds and they're in the south but you know I'm not a big fan of
fundamental Baptist churches in the south you know those churches suck I'm
just gonna be honest with you why would you say that because you know I've been
to the south and you know a lot of those churches don't do so winning a lot of
those churches just fight with each other they're wrong doctrine in a lot of
areas and you know they're just they're more political than they are Christian
but this guy you know he's pretty legit he was out there pretty he's an old IP
guy and you know he needs to preach on gluttony but that's another story but
he's he was preaching hard and he was preaching the reprobate doctrine he was
saying that that homos were reprobate and he was telling his congregation or
someone's congregation it wasn't his it was actually someone else's he was
telling them like hey you need to stop wasting your time trying to win us to
these homos they're a lost cause you can't get them saved they're reprobate
and you know in all every churches like the pastors will often sit on the
platform like the assistant pastors and you can see the pastor back there and
he's just like he's just freaking out like you see the fear on his face like
oh no but what are they gonna say cuz Tony Hudson's like a big namer in the
old IFP and if he says it then they you know they invited him to preach or
whatever you know and I would if I was our brother hi man brother you know I
probably would have started dancing or you know a little hanky and everything
whoa you know probably crazy or something that would have married into
that I don't typically get that way but you know what you give me an old IFP
pastor preaching at least a little bit against the sodomites bless God you know
I might do a little crip walker that's that's exciting stuff right there but
it's kind of showing that a lot of old IFP are kind of like moving towards
understanding that this is an important doctrine okay look what the Bible says
in John chapter 12 verse 37 but though he had done so many miracles before them
yet they believed not on him that the saying of his eyes the Prophet might be
fulfilled which he spake Lord who hath believed our report to whom hath the
armor of the Lord been revealed therefore they could not believe because
it is I say it again so it's saying that they could not believe and he's
explaining why they can't believe he says verse 40 he referring to God has
blinded their eyes and hardened their heart that they should not see with
their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted and I should heal
them so according to this passage God is the one responsible for making them so
that they're not saved he's blinding them he's hardening their hearts so that
they cannot believe the report that's given unto them you know that's called
the reprobate doctrine it's God removing a person's ability to believe so that
they can't be saved okay and I don't want to belabor that point because I got
more points on here but it's important you know that's something that we
differ on and you know there might be some old IFP people listening and it
might take offense to this but prove me wrong prove me wrong prove me wrong
they did not just say that in John chapter 12 prove me wrong and the Bible
doesn't contradict itself so don't pull out John 3 16 because we both already
agree on John 3 16 explain John 12 all right so those are the major like
doctrinal differences between old and new IFP let's talk about the practice
practical differences for the last few minutes here okay first and foremost
when it comes to practical things here's a major difference between old IFP new
IP shallow sermon content versus saturated sermons okay unfortunately a
lot of old IFP churches one of one major difference is that their sermons are
very short 35 maybe 40 minutes okay and a lot of that 35 to 40 minutes of
preaching often only has just a handful of verses one verse sometimes they'll
literally start off with the verse and then just close their Bibles and it's
just stories illustrations TED talk this that and the other okay not all of them
but a lot of them are like that unfortunately I've been under some
great men of God who preached some great sermons they preach hard against sin but
even then the sermons were a lot shorter it wasn't saturated with a lot of
doctrine which would explain why a lot of people in these churches have very
shallow understanding of doctrine because if it's not being you know
expounded from the pulpit the people are not being taught you know they're not
being their pure minds are not being stirred up by way of remembrance using
the scriptures then you know what you're gonna have a shallow church that doesn't
really understand doctrine okay whereas new IP churches good night in the
morning you'll get at least 50 verses in a sermon that's like minimum you know
you go to a fundamental Baptist Church in the new IFB you're gonna get a
sermon you're gonna you're gonna be turning your Bible a lot and you're
gonna be well equipped on how to use the Bible because you're constantly going
from one passage to another you're gonna learn about books of the Bible you're
gonna be saturated with sermons and you know what it's great when you could be a
part of a church that addresses scriptures that churches just don't want
to address I remember being under preaching thinking to myself like man I
wish they really would talk about this verse or they'll maybe talk about a
chapter I'm like oh man that's the chapter that has that one verse and then
you read they really like always gonna get into that and then you just move on
it's just like you're just hungry for it and unfortunately not only is the
sermon content shallow sometimes but you know what even the fellowship is shallow
too because one major thing in old IP churches is that as soon as we pray you
just hear footsteps just running out of the auditorium going to get their kids
in the nursery and then they're gone now I get it sometimes people got to go or
whatever but you know what the church has made the fellowship amen and the
conversations in church typically are about the Bible in our church or things
related to the Bible but you know how old IP churches you can't really bring
up biblical conversations it's almost like shameful to do that and you know
sometimes I get frustrated as a pastor because you know I'm preaching for like
two hours on Sunday but then I'm really preaching for like four five six hours
on Sunday because after service then people ask me about by and then we have
like another hour of Bible teaching and I'm not saying that's a bad thing it's
just like man are you guys aren't like you guys are
satiated enough or what but it's a good thing it's a good problem to have because
people are just hungry for more right whereas in old IP churches you can't
just go up to the pastor just ask some random biblical question you know they'll
tell you you got to go to Bible College that's what they'll tell you so how do
you know because I was there like if you ever get really deep into like a
doctrinal question they'll be like go to Bible College Bible Institute Bible
College if you really want to learn the meat of the word you got to go there no
you get the meat of the word here and you know what it's not hard to just open
up the Bible discuss about something biblical just give someone an answer
plain and simple and if I don't know an answer I'll just tell them like I got to
look it up I don't know I haven't really thought about that particular topic but
in general most people here know if you ask me a biblical question I'm gonna
give you an answer right then and there I'll quote scripture I'll tell you what
the Bible says I'll try to you know dissolve doubts and teach you what the
Word of God actually says and not shame you for it unless of course you just
coming up with some wild-eyed interpretation or something okay and so
shallow sermon content versus saturated sermons the Bible says that we should
preach the word with all long-suffering and doctrine that means you got to use
the Bible and tell people where to go in the Word of God till I come give
attendance to reading to exhortation to doctrine go to John chapter 2 John
chapter 2 you know the apostle Paul said I kept back nothing those profitable to
you and so it's important for pastors to do this and the old IP was just
notorious for just kind of going to one verse one passage not really expounding
upon it doing more topical sermons rather than expository and I like both
I like topical and expository which is why we do topical sometimes on Sundays
and every Thursday we do expository or we go verse by verse explaining what the
Bible says book of the Bible explaining certain things and expounding upon them
that is important okay now let me just say this also regarding the sermon
content unfortunately a lot of fundamental Baptist churches are leaning
more towards being liberal now that's that's just fact and you can even see it
in their preaching they're starting to preach like these mega church pastors
okay and they're cutting down on the time they're cutting down on the content
I'm not trying to say anything controversial and I feel like the old
IFB is gonna be like the Southern Baptist Church in respect to fundamental
Baptist because fundamental Baptists were part of the Southern Baptist
Convention at one point years ago and they're in the Roaring Twenties they're
a part of that convention they were very fiery but then the Southern Baptist
movement began to just kind of you know go a little liberal they stopped doing
the evangelizing and so independent Baptists left that they became
independent in faith and practice because the Southern Baptists were just
kind of going haywire and I mean look at the Southern Baptist Convention now
ordaining women pastors and on so anyways we're talking about practices
here differences between new and old IFB number two buying and selling in the
church that's a major difference between old and new IFB Church okay a
lot of old IP churches bookstores coffee shops you know the obvious Christian
schools things of that nature they charge to learn the Bible okay and those
who can't afford going to Bible College they'll often say well you can pay this
amount to be a part of a Bible Institute well they'll meet like once or twice a
week or something like that but they still charge for you to learn the Word
of God okay this is wrong look at John chapter 2 and verse 13 it says the Jews
Passover was at hand and Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found in the temple
those that sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changes of money sitting and
when he had made a scourge of small cords he drove them all out of the
temple and the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers money and
overthrew the tables and said unto them that sold doves take these things hence
make not my father's house a house of merchandise what is the same don't sell
anything in the church to your members now we say here that everything is free
but obviously don't get all wild and start taking the chairs or something I
mean like you know obviously when we say things are free we're referring to like
the activities whatever is in the fridge I guess you know if you want a hymn book
take the hymn book okay but you know don't don't just start like you know
looking in my office and see what you can take or something like that the
principle is this is that whatever the church offers should be free okay there
should be no fine paid to learn the Bible okay and he said well yeah but
don't you command people to tithe no God commands people to tithe but even then
I'm out of the picture on that one I'm not like miss Kelly Francescini it's
time for our monthly meeting I noticed that you didn't tie let you know I don't
I'm not an accountant checking on who ties and who doesn't God does takes care
of that but we but here's the thing let's just hypothetically say you don't
tie for an entire year you still have a right to be here and hear the preaching
of God's Word and I'm not gonna be like hey brother Israel you haven't tied in
three months so you're gonna have to wait outside while we're done with this
sermon you know it'll be weird the truth is free amen Bible is free
content is free doctrine should be free and so you know and a lot of these old
IP churches catch flack for being 501c3 and we're not 501c3 and I don't
criticize churches for being 501c3 let me just say why they're 501c3 it's
because they're selling in church okay that's one of the major reasons as to
why and you know when you do that the quality of what you know they're giving
out drops plain and simple okay you know you're paying for all this you're paying
for Bible College but the quality of the content you're getting Bible College is
very poor doctrine is poor the practices are poor it's just you know and so God
has ordained it so that the house of God should not be a house of merchandise
things should be given out for free we should not be buying and selling in
church but old IP churches have a tendency to do that and look let me just
say this is that I don't believe that every church that does buying and
selling in church is a wicked church okay they're just an evil wicked church
obviously there are some that are you know Joel's thing dudes wicked Rick
Warren dude is wicked mega church pastors that do these things John
MacArthur dude is wicked and I'm not saying that all of them are you know
some fundamental Baptists just inherit these practices from whoever trained
them and sent them out and they think it's the right thing to do there's a
time when I felt it was the right thing to do but again when you're confronted
with the truth you got to make a decision that you have a bias towards
what the Bible says regardless of what man's tradition has taught you in times
past okay pretty simple right go to turn with me if you would to Ephesians
chapter 4 Ephesians chapter 4 let me breeze through these last points
differences between old and new segregating the family that's another
one we already kind of I don't want to belabor that point because I talked
about that in the morning you know nurseries Sunday school classes teen
church they have a tendency to segregate the family whereas the biblical models
to keep the family together in church services differences between old the new
IP number four Christian school versus home school all I have been hates it
when you homeschool they think it's like weird it's just like how in the
world can you think homeschooling is where what the Bible literally teaches
the parents are supposed to teach their kids and you know I know what I'm
talking about when it comes to this because of the fact that I've been on
both sides of the fence I was a Christian school teacher albeit it was a
Bible class but I was a teacher in a Christian school I was a Bible college
teacher and so I've seen the fruits pun intended of Christian schools you know
the Christian school essentially removes the responsibility from parents to teach
their kids it's like a daycare okay and Christian schools unfortunately will
often have a higher standard of discipline in the church like these same
churches old IP churches they won't throw anybody out for fornication or
drunkenness but if students commit fornication or drunkenness in their
school they'll throw them out the school the Christian school should not have a
higher standard than the church when it comes to that when the Bible literally
says that was such a one no not to eat okay and they'll say well you know it's
better than the public school implying that you know it's better in quality
well let me tell you something that's better in quality than the Christian
school homeschool and you know some churches are really bad with this
because they'll shame people who are doing homeschooling if they have people
in their church that are involved in homeschooling they will openly shame
people like that you know and be like they're gonna be weird and stuff and
dude you guys are like modeling your school by the public schools and they
wonder why their kids turn out worldly and wicked because they're bringing in
all of these unsafe people into the Christian school that don't want to be
there they're being forced by their parents to be in the Christian school
they're being saturated with the Bible that they don't want to listen to which
is a recipe for reprobation you put someone listening to this stuff for eight
hours a day oh it's a spiritual environment but it's a spiritual
environment that they don't want to be in this is why when people graduate I in
my experience I've seen this they're like a sodomite transvestite or
reprobate why because they've been they've been fed the Word of God for
eight hours a day five days out of the week they don't agree with you they
don't want to hear it they don't want the Bible they don't want to be saved so
then what happens they become a reprobate they go apostate and this is
common in Christian schools and it's common in Bible College as well okay but
I'm not gonna be labor that point look at Ephesians chapter 4 here's another
difference I'm almost done here Bible College versus training in house okay
I'm a graduate of Bible College unfortunately and you know I even taught
in the Bible College and I'm gonna tell you right now Bible College is a scam
it's not worth it I get people asking me this all the time should I go to Bible
College what do you think you went to Bible College should I go and I always
say save your money be trained under your pastor you'll get more out of just
being in church and being under your pastor and doing the the work in house
then going to some other state and getting trained in the Bible College
okay now look we have people here who went to Bible College I went to Bible
College and you know what we survived and let me just say this you know not
everyone who goes to Bible College is wicked they're not I wasn't wicked I
went to Bible to Bible College with the best of intentions because I wanted to
serve the Lord and they told me that's where I needed to be but you know what I
came out unscathed in spite of Bible College because at the end of the day my
motives were to serve God but you know if I can turn back the time I wouldn't
go because at the end of the day they taught me a lot of false doctrine and
you know what there was good stuff at the Bible College that I learned things
about character and such but we're just talking about what the Bible says about
this what is the biblical model for training people it's not a Bible cause
you won't find it in the Bible it's training people in house the Bible says
in Ephesians 4 11 he gave some apostles and some prophets and some evangelists
and some pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of
the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ and here's a major
problem with Bible colleges is that they take all the youth from churches okay
and you know they basically take all the youth from all from the churches and
then what happens is that these young people become a part of this huge Bible
College institution they see all the bells and whistles they're there for
four years five sometimes and then when it's all over they don't want to leave
so they actually end up never going back to their home church when the original
intent for going to Bible College is to be better equipped to serve in a local
New Testament Church many of them don't ever go back to the local New Testament
Church sad right and here's the thing like all that people have don't do this
anymore as like I mean I don't think they do but they used to criticize me
and be like you're sheep stealing you're taking people's members which I you know
they're not they're God sheep first and foremost and then also you know you
can't steal well-fed well-fed sheep let me just be honest with it there as well
but secondly you know they'll say oh you're you're sheep stealing but every
Bible College steals sheep you get people to go to your church go to your
Bible and then you just keep them you keep the cream of the crop because what
happens is they graduate and then what does the college do let me offer you a
job at the Bible College you can be a leader at the Bible College you can be a
leader at the church and it's very attractive it's nice they find their
spouse and then it's just like see you later old church I mean that's you know
it's not the best whereas here you get training in-house get the pastor's time
then you're sent out if you're qualified etc ok last scripture here go
to Psalm 127 Psalm 127 I'm going a little over my time but this is the last
point here and that is birth control versus big families all I be is really
into birth control and birth control is basically abortion it is abortion
they're not against having children they're just against having too many
children but you know that's wrong and it's wicked and you say wow you're
exaggerating and I really like that I was part of a church plant where the
pastor's wife would go around to the wives of the husband's encouraging them
to get on birth control kind of wicked crap is that just basically encouraging
them to just have abortions why cuz she did it but you know I guarantee you
that's not the only ice that's not an isolated incident that happens
everywhere you know we promote here's big families if the Lord blesses you
with the big family of course right you know the Bible tells us in Psalm 127
verse 3 low children are in heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the room is
his reward as arrows are in the mighty and the hand of a mighty man so are the
children of the youth happy is the man that hath this quiver full of them there
shall not be ashamed but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate so
how much is a quiver full as many as your quiver can handle as many as big
as the quiver is you know that you the God has given to you you know what was
this happy is the man that hath this quiver full that's a true statement
because I'm a happy man I got five little ones and Lord willing we'll have
more I'm I know I sound angry when I'm up here and I'm just like always mad but
you know gotta get mad about false doctrine but in general I'm a very happy
individual and you know what one of the the joys of my life is going home and
seeing my kids they're just like a joy to me just love seeing my kids I love
spending time with my kids I love seeing you know my genetics in my kids and
seeing like you know some of the things that I used to do in them and just
fellowshipping with them and talking to them they bring me a lot of joy my
serotonin is just always going up when I hold the babies and it's just it's
wonderful I wouldn't have any other way and so you know the Bible says it's a
blessing to have children okay now you say well I can't have children but but
here's the thing though is that as long as you're not doing anything to stop
having children God blesses you if he doesn't you know that that's that's the
law in life but we're talking about people who literally will abstain from
having children and purposely do birth control so they don't have more kids and
let me tell you why a lot of these old IFP churches promote that more money
that goes into the plate plain and simple okay one of the reasons new IFP
churches are growing so much is because we have something called organic growth
aside from the fact that we're reaching people on the outside people on the
inside are just having a lot of children and so it's just like a lot of kids are
just in church you know and this is something the new IP preaches and
teaches on is big families versus birth control and so you know they'll preach
against abortion but folks hold on a second there's a lot of them that are
participating in birth control and that is abortion as well and so that's a
major difference and so you say what's the sermon the sermon is simply this you
know I'm just trying to show you the differences between the two and I know
that someone can hear the sermon and think oh you're just bitter against the
old IFP or something or you're just highlighting the negative obviously I've
experienced a lot of positive things in the old IFP I talk about amongst my
church my church members all the time they're great churches I don't recommend
people to go to liberal churches if they can't join a new IP church I tell them
to go to old IP church because it's just as good you'll get good fellowship great
leadership I love them but you know it's not necessarily you know reciprocated
the same love okay but it's okay though because at the end of the day in my
opinion the conclusion of the matter is this eventually that generation like
Judaism of old will fade away it's gonna fade out okay and the next generation
they're either gonna go liberal purple light CCM and the like or they're gonna
get on this program right here and be a part of a new IFP Church which is far
greater and far better men and so thank God for new IP churches amen let's pray
father we thank you so much for your word and thank you for the new IP
churches and we're thankful for the movement that emphasizes these things
and of course we're thankful for our spiritual ancestors and we pray Lord
that they would prosper and succeed in their ministries that they would get
back to the first works Lord if they haven't and that would preach harder and
have more Bible content I pray that churches like ours would be a challenge
unto them to tighten up the screws and strengthen the things which remain and
Lord obviously we desire to fellowship with them but if that's not the case
it's okay we have enough churches that are like-minded that we can fellowship
with and I just pray that you would uh you would bless those churches to to
adhere to the Word of God and reject dispensationalism and all the heresy
that has infiltrated those congregations and the like Lord then help them to be
zealous for the things of God once again the zeal that they imparted unto us may
they once again reignite in their own hearts we love you we thank you pray
these things in Jesus name amen
