00:00.000 --> 00:01.400
Chapter 8

00:06.200 --> 00:10.200
As is our custom, we'll read the entire chapter so we'll follow along silently.

00:18.000 --> 00:23.800
Acts chapter 8, the Bible reads, And Saul was consenting unto his death.

00:23.800 --> 00:28.560
And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem.

00:28.560 --> 00:32.160
And they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria except the

00:32.160 --> 00:33.720
apostles.

00:33.720 --> 00:38.720
And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

00:38.720 --> 00:43.000
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and hailing men

00:43.000 --> 00:44.760
and women committed them to prison.

00:45.800 --> 00:51.080
Therefore, they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word.

00:51.080 --> 00:55.600
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ unto them.

00:55.600 --> 00:59.920
And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and

00:59.920 --> 01:02.760
seeing the miracles which he did.

01:02.760 --> 01:07.120
For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with

01:07.120 --> 01:08.120
them.

01:08.120 --> 01:12.280
many taken with palsies and that were lame were healed.

01:13.200 --> 01:18.560
and there was great joy in that city. But there was a certain man called Simon which before time

01:18.560 --> 01:23.840
in the same city used sorcery and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was

01:23.840 --> 01:29.600
some great one. To whom they all gave heed from the least of the greatest, saying, This man is the

01:29.600 --> 01:35.440
great power of God. And to him they had regard because that of long time he had bewitched them

01:35.440 --> 01:36.440
them with sorceries.

01:36.900 --> 01:40.580
But when they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God in the

01:40.580 --> 01:44.700
name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women.

01:44.700 --> 01:49.420
Then Simon himself believed also, and when he was baptized he continued with Philip and

01:49.420 --> 01:52.060
wondered beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

01:53.000 --> 01:58.120
Now when the apostles, which were at Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God,

01:58.120 --> 02:03.080
they sent unto them Peter and John, who, when they were come down, prayed for them,

02:03.080 --> 02:07.800
that they might receive the Holy Ghost. For as yet he was fallen upon none of them,

02:07.800 --> 02:10.440
only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

02:11.400 --> 02:14.600
Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

02:15.300 --> 02:21.700
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, saying,

02:21.700 --> 02:27.140
Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands he may receive the Holy Ghost.

02:27.140 --> 02:34.580
But Peter said unto him, Thou money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

02:34.580 --> 02:39.940
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter, for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

02:40.200 --> 02:46.200
Repent therefore this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

02:46.200 --> 02:51.200
For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity."

02:51.200 --> 02:53.200
Then answered Simon, and said,

02:53.200 --> 02:58.200
Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

02:58.200 --> 03:01.200
And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord,

03:01.200 --> 03:05.200
returned to Jerusalem and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

03:05.700 --> 03:14.940
And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south, under the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

03:14.940 --> 03:22.380
And he arose and went, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, in eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians,

03:22.380 --> 03:30.700
who had the charge over all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, was returning, and sitting in his chariot, read as Ias the prophet.

03:31.400 --> 03:36.120
Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot.

03:36.120 --> 03:40.520
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Asaias, and said,

03:40.520 --> 03:46.040
Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me?

03:46.040 --> 03:49.240
And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

03:49.240 --> 03:54.040
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter,

03:54.040 --> 03:57.720
and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.

03:58.500 --> 04:03.820
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and who shall declare his generation,

04:03.820 --> 04:06.900
for his life is taken from the earth?

04:06.900 --> 04:11.340
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet

04:11.340 --> 04:14.460
this, of himself, or of some other man?

04:14.460 --> 04:17.980
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him

04:17.980 --> 04:18.480
Jesus.

04:19.100 --> 04:23.260
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water, and the eunuch said,

04:23.260 --> 04:27.020
See, here is water. What doth hinder me to be baptized?

04:27.020 --> 04:31.580
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.

04:31.580 --> 04:35.980
And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

04:35.980 --> 04:39.500
And he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they went down both into the

04:39.500 --> 04:42.500
water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

04:43.000 --> 04:47.080
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip,

04:47.080 --> 04:52.840
that the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at

04:52.840 --> 04:57.720
Azotes, and passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea.

05:23.000 --> 05:29.240
Amen. All right, I'm preaching. I'm trying to repreach a sermon that I preach in Henderson.

05:29.240 --> 05:36.840
It's hot. It's the hot takes. No, I have hot takes number three, but it's going to be different. So

05:38.120 --> 05:41.640
but I was asked to repreach it by Brother Tony. He just

05:42.700 --> 05:47.340
It kind of gets autism when it comes to not having one of my sermons in there,

05:47.340 --> 05:52.220
that's because we're missing three now because the other one just wasn't working.

05:52.220 --> 05:55.420
So the sound was just totally bad on it.

05:55.420 --> 05:59.180
So which is upsetting to me because I usually don't make mistakes like that.

05:59.180 --> 06:01.820
But I didn't take my phone case off the phone.

06:01.820 --> 06:05.180
Usually I have to take my phone case off the phone to plug in a little device.

06:05.180 --> 06:06.460
And it looked like it plugged in.

06:06.460 --> 06:07.420
So I was like, okay.

06:08.400 --> 06:11.120
But apparently it didn't work, so anyway.

06:11.120 --> 06:16.240
So next week we'll start in Ephesians chapter one on Sunday nights.

06:16.240 --> 06:22.320
So basically what a hot take is, once again, is it's a strongly stated,

06:22.320 --> 06:24.640
controversial or unpopular opinion.

06:24.640 --> 06:27.600
And it's kind of a buzzword today.

06:28.200 --> 06:33.040
or just something that people say, hot take, you know, and then they say something that

06:33.040 --> 06:38.380
sounds wild to people, but really anything from the Bible pretty much is a hot take to

06:38.380 --> 06:43.100
people these days because people just don't believe the Bible anymore, unfortunately.

06:43.100 --> 06:48.400
But even more so when it comes to like the new IFB, people just think that things that

06:48.400 --> 06:51.600
we believe are just so far out in left field.

06:51.600 --> 06:52.440
But in reality.

06:52.800 --> 06:56.800
A lot of the reason why people and people like us were drawn to the movement in the first place is

06:56.800 --> 07:02.960
because the strong use of the Bible and the strong stance to let the Bible prop up the

07:02.960 --> 07:12.640
doctrines that we believe. So the first one I want to address tonight is immediate on the spot baptism.

07:13.400 --> 07:18.840
So a lot of people think that you should have to take some sort of a class on baptism before

07:18.840 --> 07:20.280
you can get baptized.

07:20.280 --> 07:22.160
Even Baptist churches do this.

07:22.160 --> 07:25.400
It's just like, have you not read the Bible before?

07:25.400 --> 07:30.000
Because there's so many scriptures that could be a whole sermon, basically.

07:30.000 --> 07:33.640
But not only do we believe that someone should get baptized as soon as ...

07:34.300 --> 07:37.340
they get saved and that's what I mean by immediate on the spot baptism.

07:38.220 --> 07:43.660
Obviously not all of us got that. I didn't get that and there's not always a place where you can

07:43.660 --> 07:50.060
get baptized or someone that can actually baptize you and so on and so forth. But I think that

07:50.060 --> 07:55.260
people should get baptized as soon as they possibly can. It's a step of obedience and it's the first

07:55.260 --> 07:59.700
thing that you see in lists of things in the Bible.

08:00.300 --> 08:03.500
And especially the book of Acts, when people got saved, they got baptized.

08:03.500 --> 08:05.340
It says they got saved and baptized.

08:05.340 --> 08:12.940
So, but also we believe that salvation, or I mean not salvation, but the baptism is by immersion.

08:13.740 --> 08:18.540
So there's a lot of churches out there that will sprinkle in lieu of...

08:19.300 --> 08:25.600
actually dunking you underwater, which is what the scripture says also.

08:25.600 --> 08:31.120
So we'll kind of kill two birds with one stone here, but Catholics will sprinkle.

08:31.120 --> 08:36.820
Let's see, any Presbyterians will sprinkle.

08:36.820 --> 08:40.220
But then there's also the Orthodox Church that they will...

08:40.600 --> 08:45.240
not sprinkled, but they'll, they do baptize because they understand what Greek is.

08:45.240 --> 08:49.240
They're the Greek Orthodox Church or whatever, so they understand

08:49.240 --> 08:52.040
what that word for baptism means.

08:52.300 --> 08:59.600
So but they still mess it up. They don't you three times and they don't babies three times. Have you ever seen them baptized babies?

08:59.600 --> 09:05.240
It's horrific. It's like ah, you know, I mean they obviously do it in a way where the baby's not gonna drown or whatever

09:05.240 --> 09:11.400
But I mean it looks pretty bad. So and the babies are just like, you know, you've done come in some cold water and

09:12.160 --> 09:14.160
watch them just writhe around but

09:15.200 --> 09:20.040
But it's not dunk them three times. You never see someone get dunked three times in the Bible

09:20.300 --> 09:22.460
It's just down and up.

09:24.140 --> 09:26.300
So, but they do it like,

09:26.300 --> 09:28.100
I don't know if they're doing it like the Father,

09:28.100 --> 09:29.460
the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

09:29.460 --> 09:30.820
if that's why they do that or what,

09:30.820 --> 09:33.540
but I think that that's what they maybe say when they do it.

09:33.540 --> 09:34.500
It's been a while since I've watched

09:34.500 --> 09:36.420
one of the baby baptism videos,

09:36.420 --> 09:38.900
but I mean, just the fact that people baptized babies

09:38.900 --> 09:40.700
in the first place is just bizarre.

09:41.000 --> 09:44.600
But it just shows that they believe in a workspaced salvation because they think that if you don't

09:44.600 --> 09:48.520
get baptized those babies will go to hell if they're not baptized.

09:48.520 --> 09:51.400
And they're just not getting baptized anyway.

09:51.400 --> 09:53.120
And you have to believe to be baptized.

09:53.120 --> 09:59.000
I mean this chapter is such a great chapter to go to on this type of doctrine.

09:59.000 --> 10:01.280
There's a lot of great doctrine just in Acts chapter 8.

10:01.600 --> 10:06.600
about soul winning, about calling, you know, obviously,

10:06.600 --> 10:07.880
he doesn't call upon the name of the Lord,

10:07.880 --> 10:11.200
but it's obvious that he does get saved because...

10:11.600 --> 10:15.440
He gets baptized, he asks about being baptized right afterwards because he got preached Jesus

10:16.080 --> 10:20.960
and then he gets baptized. So, but let's look at a couple other scriptures. We'll get back to

10:20.960 --> 10:25.120
Acts chapter eight here in a minute. So basically, I guess the hot take would be

10:25.120 --> 10:30.720
delaying a believer's baptism for administrative reasons, which the Bible does not teach that.

10:31.440 --> 10:38.400
Or different modes of baptism are unacceptable.

10:38.900 --> 10:40.180
They don't count.

10:40.180 --> 10:41.640
And so if someone says, you know,

10:41.640 --> 10:43.180
if someone came here and they say,

10:43.180 --> 10:45.340
well I got, because we ask people,

10:45.340 --> 10:47.180
you know, how do you know you're saved all the time?

10:47.180 --> 10:49.980
And people at the doors, a lot of times they will say,

10:49.980 --> 10:53.020
I was baptized when I was such and such years old.

10:53.020 --> 10:55.060
Or I was baptized when I was a baby.

10:55.060 --> 10:57.980
And it's like, people just equate baptism with salvation.

10:57.980 --> 11:00.160
But, you know, all they did is got wet.

11:00.160 --> 11:01.220
That's what happened.

11:01.220 --> 11:03.160
Because it doesn't wash away your sins.

11:03.160 --> 11:05.500
And if you don't even know that you have sins,

11:05.500 --> 11:06.300
when you're...

11:06.400 --> 11:10.480
you know, eight days old or whatever. I don't know how long they wait for babies in the Catholic

11:10.480 --> 11:15.680
Church, but I think it's right away because, you know, they don't have to get dunked under water,

11:15.680 --> 11:19.360
so they just, you know, pour a little teaspoon of water on their head or whatever. They take the

11:19.360 --> 11:25.360
little, some little thimble or something and dump it on their head and then supposedly they're baptized

11:25.360 --> 11:26.400
after that. So...

11:26.800 --> 11:30.240
But anyway, okay, let's go to what's the scriptural backing?

11:30.240 --> 11:34.960
Well, I mean, we're commanded by the Lord to baptize as part of the great commission,

11:34.960 --> 11:41.280
Matthew chapter 28. Matthew chapter 28. Actually, you can turn to Acts 2. I'm going to

11:41.920 --> 11:44.480
read Matthew 28. Matthew 28 verse 19 says,

11:44.480 --> 11:47.600
Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them,

11:47.600 --> 11:50.320
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.

11:51.000 --> 11:54.260
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.

11:54.260 --> 11:59.120
And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

11:59.120 --> 12:02.120
So Jesus told us to go

12:02.900 --> 12:03.900
Go, therefore.

12:03.900 --> 12:07.620
He didn't say stay at the church and invite everybody to church and have them come in.

12:07.620 --> 12:10.780
He said, go and teach all nations.

12:10.780 --> 12:12.380
So part of that teaching is teaching them what?

12:12.380 --> 12:16.460
The gospel, showing them how to be saved and then baptizing them in the name of the Father,

12:16.460 --> 12:17.460
Son, and the Holy Ghost.

12:17.460 --> 12:22.260
So there is a certain way you're supposed to baptize and you do it in the name of the

12:22.260 --> 12:23.980
Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.

12:23.980 --> 12:30.160
So all the other ritualistic stuff that's done at a baptism, that's not in the Bible

12:30.160 --> 12:30.880
to say those things.

12:30.900 --> 12:36.240
things, you know, like buried in the likeness of his death, raised to walk in the newness

12:36.240 --> 12:40.400
of life, or raised in the likeness of his resurrection, which I've heard that one before

12:40.400 --> 12:41.880
too, it's either one.

12:41.880 --> 12:46.960
You know, it's just something that you say that kind of is like ceremonial, but it's

12:46.960 --> 12:51.600
not necessarily, I mean it's a biblical thing to say because it says that you're, you know,

12:51.600 --> 12:54.960
you're to walk in the newness of life once you get baptized.

12:54.960 --> 12:58.900
So scriptural to do that or to cite

12:58.900 --> 13:04.200
scripture when you're doing that, but we're not commanded to say that is all I'm saying.

13:04.200 --> 13:08.260
What we are commanded to say though is that we're supposed to baptize them in the name

13:08.260 --> 13:10.460
of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.

13:10.460 --> 13:14.180
So when I say I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, that's

13:14.180 --> 13:16.740
literally what the Bible says for us to do.

13:16.740 --> 13:23.000
So and people say well you know that name is Jesus and you know those are Pentecostals

13:23.000 --> 13:24.740
that usually do that or these oneness.

13:25.000 --> 13:33.160
heretics, modalists, but also people will say, well, the Father isn't a name.

13:33.160 --> 13:37.120
Well, actually it is a name.

13:37.120 --> 13:43.080
God has many names and Jesus called him the Father a lot.

13:43.080 --> 13:47.640
And I don't think there's anything wrong with calling him the Father and then calling

13:47.640 --> 13:50.040
Jesus the Son.

13:50.040 --> 13:51.700
I don't think you have to say.

13:51.900 --> 13:54.820
then name Jesus, but I think if you did it wouldn't be wrong.

13:54.820 --> 13:59.500
But if you're not baptizing in all three names of the Trinity,

13:59.500 --> 14:01.420
then you're not doing it right.

14:01.420 --> 14:04.420
Because if you just said, because this is what Tyler Baker,

14:04.420 --> 14:07.340
when he was off in his heresy or whatever, said,

14:07.340 --> 14:09.660
I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost,

14:09.660 --> 14:11.300
and his name is Jesus.

14:11.300 --> 14:12.980
And then he would baptize people.

14:13.800 --> 14:16.640
So, because they believe in oneness, right?

14:16.640 --> 14:17.640
Or he did.

14:17.640 --> 14:19.360
So, now I don't know what he believes.

14:19.360 --> 14:21.440
I think he's a Calvinist or something now.

14:21.440 --> 14:25.160
Ever changing but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth is what these people

14:25.160 --> 14:26.160
are like.

14:26.160 --> 14:30.200
So, alright, you're in Acts chapter 2, look at verse 41.

14:30.200 --> 14:35.760
It says, and they that gladly received his word were baptized.

14:35.760 --> 14:40.080
And the same day, there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

14:40.400 --> 14:42.400
So did they wait to get baptized?

14:42.400 --> 14:44.400
Did Peter say, well you gotta come to this class

14:44.400 --> 14:45.900
if you wanna get baptized?

14:45.900 --> 14:50.400
No, you see that they got baptized this same day.

14:50.400 --> 14:51.400
And how many people?

14:51.400 --> 14:53.900
3,000, so I was wrong this morning when I said 5,000.

14:53.900 --> 14:55.900
But the 5,000 get saved later,

14:55.900 --> 14:57.900
a couple chapters later or something.

14:57.900 --> 15:01.900
So 3,000 souls were added unto them,

15:01.900 --> 15:02.900
unto who?

15:02.900 --> 15:03.900
The church.

15:03.900 --> 15:07.900
So another doctrine that I actually believe is

15:08.400 --> 15:10.500
When someone gets baptized here,

15:10.500 --> 15:13.420
that they become a member of our church through baptism.

15:13.420 --> 15:15.760
So they become part of the body of Christ.

15:17.520 --> 15:19.440
But they also have to attend here.

15:19.440 --> 15:22.140
I believe that someone has to attend church

15:22.140 --> 15:23.640
in order to be called a member,

15:23.640 --> 15:27.800
because if you're not ever gathering with the believers,

15:27.800 --> 15:30.160
then how are you a member of the church?

15:30.160 --> 15:31.680
And I don't necessarily think you have to keep

15:31.680 --> 15:33.600
some kind of role or log.

15:33.800 --> 15:37.400
or something like that, but I also don't think there's anything wrong with it.

15:37.400 --> 15:42.200
So sometimes churches will, and Baptist churches are really big on this,

15:42.200 --> 15:47.800
will that be churches where they'll keep a role and those people,

15:47.800 --> 15:51.400
you have to be baptized to be a member of the church.

15:51.400 --> 15:53.400
And then if you were baptized,

15:53.800 --> 16:02.800
in any other type of church, they will not accept it unless you're baptized in a church of like faith and like practice.

16:02.800 --> 16:08.800
So they also do these things called letters of commendation.

16:08.800 --> 16:13.800
And I don't really think that's necessarily wrong either. I don't think you have to do that.

16:13.800 --> 16:17.800
Obviously we live in a time of email where that letter could just be an email.

16:19.200 --> 16:24.200
I know that at least at the churches I've gone to that were old IFB,

16:24.200 --> 16:30.200
getting a letter of commendation from your pastor if you're going to move to a different Baptist church

16:30.200 --> 16:33.200
was something that they would require.

16:33.200 --> 16:39.200
Either a letter or baptism at the church if you're not baptized,

16:39.200 --> 16:43.200
and those things were acceptable to become members of the church.

16:43.200 --> 16:45.800
But then they'd also vote, and nobody ever votes no.

16:45.900 --> 16:49.180
So, that's always been a weird thing that I noticed.

16:49.180 --> 16:53.000
After a while, like of going to a life-be churches, it's like they would say, so and

16:53.000 --> 16:56.160
so is coming forth for membership or whatever.

16:56.160 --> 16:59.540
And people, who's ever been in a church and they do that, okay?

16:59.540 --> 17:05.200
So, so and so is coming forth for membership and then they come forward and then it says,

17:05.200 --> 17:10.260
these people want to join by, it's not affirmation, it's a...

17:12.100 --> 17:15.180
Yeah, by profession.

17:15.180 --> 17:20.860
So it could be by letter, by baptism, or by profession of faith in front of the church.

17:20.860 --> 17:23.780
Which I mean, okay, that's fine.

17:23.780 --> 17:32.420
But then they'd say all who vote to bring them into the membership say aye, and then

17:32.420 --> 17:34.620
everybody's going to say aye.

17:34.620 --> 17:35.120
And then...

17:35.900 --> 17:40.060
all those that would say no, then nobody ever says no.

17:40.060 --> 17:44.060
It's like, yeah, I mean, it's not a real vote.

17:45.400 --> 17:49.780
But obviously, I do believe that you should be baptized.

17:49.780 --> 17:51.180
The Bible commands it.

17:51.180 --> 17:55.140
And actually, the thing we see in scripture in Acts two

17:55.140 --> 17:56.580
is that they got baptized that day.

17:56.580 --> 17:58.020
So let's look at some other ones.

17:58.020 --> 18:00.400
Let's look at Acts chapter eight where we were.

18:00.500 --> 18:03.500
where the Bible reading was, Acts chapter 8.

18:03.500 --> 18:05.260
And you're like, well, this doesn't seem like a very hot take.

18:05.260 --> 18:09.700
Well, it's a hot take because a lot of people don't believe this, though.

18:09.700 --> 18:11.300
A lot of churches don't believe this.

18:11.300 --> 18:16.500
And if you're a Presbyterian, they just say, well, if you're one of the elect,

18:16.500 --> 18:20.500
then just getting baptized is like kind of, you know, we just kind of, you know.

18:21.800 --> 18:27.240
we just did something preemptively just like pre they believe in predestination

18:27.240 --> 18:30.840
they believe in predestinated uh... baptism also

18:30.840 --> 18:33.880
so uh... you know we got you wet and if you're one of the chosen while you

18:33.880 --> 18:36.200
already got baptized you know it was already foreordained that you were

18:36.200 --> 18:38.440
baptized or something dumb like that

18:38.440 --> 18:41.200
but it's just like it just doesn't make sense

18:41.200 --> 18:43.680
and i've never heard a good argument

18:43.680 --> 18:44.440
for

18:44.440 --> 18:46.440
not baptizing in water

18:46.440 --> 18:46.640
you know

18:47.400 --> 18:51.240
I mean, I'm sure that they come up with water conservation things now, like, oh, well, that's

18:51.240 --> 18:57.240
using too, that's wasting water to have somebody get into a tub of water. You filled it up.

18:57.240 --> 19:01.960
I mean, I could see that being said in some sort of a liberal church, but I've never heard of

19:01.960 --> 19:07.400
anybody giving any scriptural reason why, number one, children should be baptized,

19:08.440 --> 19:13.480
babies baptized, and then the mode that they do it in. So God has rules.

19:14.200 --> 19:21.200
He's not really super strict about some things, especially in the New Testament there's a lot more leeway in certain areas.

19:21.200 --> 19:24.200
But he is particular in how you get baptized.

19:24.200 --> 19:26.200
He's particular in how you get saved too.

19:26.200 --> 19:32.200
There's only one way of salvation, that's through Jesus Christ and faith alone. I covered that this morning.

19:32.700 --> 19:36.860
One mode of baptism. You get baptized. You get dunked underwater. Look what it says.

19:36.860 --> 19:43.020
Acts 8.35 says, and then Philip opened his mouth and began the same scripture and preached unto

19:43.020 --> 19:48.060
him Jesus. So he preaches him the gospel and it says, and as they went on their way, they came

19:48.060 --> 19:53.260
unto a certain water. And the eunuch said, See, here is water. What doth hinder me to be baptized?

19:53.260 --> 19:57.100
Like what's stopping me from getting baptized right now? And Philip said,

19:57.100 --> 19:59.980
if thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.

20:00.600 --> 20:04.440
And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

20:04.440 --> 20:07.400
So he's confessing with his mouth the Lord Jesus, right?

20:07.400 --> 20:10.320
I mean, he just did it right there.

20:10.320 --> 20:16.400
And he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they went down both into the water, both

20:16.400 --> 20:20.400
Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

20:20.400 --> 20:23.720
And baptize is like an English transliterated word.

20:24.400 --> 20:28.960
and it means to dunk underwater. That's what it means.

20:29.200 --> 20:32.400
So, I mean, I don't know how you can mess that up.

20:32.400 --> 20:37.640
But baptism isn't a word that was in the English language until Christianity came about and

20:37.640 --> 20:43.780
English actually became a full-blown language because there was Old English, there was Middle

20:43.780 --> 20:48.680
English and then there's the English that we speak, Modern English.

20:48.680 --> 20:52.640
But even in the 1600s, they still spoke differently than we would speak now.

20:52.640 --> 20:56.400
And they definitely haven't had an accent, okay?

20:56.400 --> 20:57.200
that that

20:57.200 --> 21:07.760
language did evolve from different Germanic people into the language that we speak now.

21:07.760 --> 21:12.600
But when they translated the Bible and they found that word there was no English equivalent

21:12.600 --> 21:16.320
to it so they made up that word baptism.

21:17.200 --> 21:21.600
It's kind of like Passover or other words that were not in the English language.

21:21.600 --> 21:24.800
So, because there would be no need for it to be in the English language

21:24.800 --> 21:28.400
because they didn't, you know, even know what it was.

21:28.400 --> 21:34.080
So, but I'm sure, you know, that the word baptism was invented, you know,

21:34.080 --> 21:37.600
as far as the English language goes, you know, pretty far back.

21:37.600 --> 21:39.600
Maybe they just didn't, you know.

21:40.000 --> 21:46.000
I don't know. I'm not exactly 100% sure how it all worked out, but I do know that a lot of words were transliterated

21:46.000 --> 21:50.000
from the Greek into the English because they didn't have words for them.

21:50.000 --> 21:53.000
Like Passover is a big example of that.

21:53.000 --> 21:56.000
So, okay, so he said,

21:56.000 --> 22:00.000
What doth hinder me baptized? And Philip said, Thou believest with all thine heart thou mayest.

22:00.000 --> 22:02.000
And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

22:02.000 --> 22:04.000
And he commanded the chariot to stand still.

22:04.800 --> 22:09.800
And they went down both into the water and Philip, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

22:09.800 --> 22:16.800
So it's interesting that he asked to be baptized and Philip, you know, he's the evangelist and he's not pushing him to get baptized, but

22:16.800 --> 22:24.700
he's like, hey, what stopped me from getting baptized? And he's like, oh yeah, I should baptize this guy, you know, but you gotta believe.

22:24.800 --> 22:27.140
So you have to believe before you get baptized.

22:27.140 --> 22:31.400
I mean, like I said, this passage just teaches so much great doctrine.

22:31.400 --> 22:35.380
And when he came up out of the water,

22:35.380 --> 22:39.320
the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip and the eunuch saw him no more,

22:39.320 --> 22:42.100
and he went on his way rejoicing.

22:42.100 --> 22:43.620
So notice that it says,

22:43.620 --> 22:46.280
and when they were come up out of the water.

22:46.280 --> 22:49.200
So in order to come out of the water,

22:49.200 --> 22:50.560
you had to be in the water.

22:50.560 --> 22:52.600
Okay. It said that they went into the water.

22:53.000 --> 22:56.400
and he baptized him, dunked him underwater.

22:56.400 --> 22:59.760
And so that is how you perform a baptism.

22:59.760 --> 23:01.040
It doesn't say, well you're like,

23:01.040 --> 23:02.880
well it doesn't say that he baptized him

23:02.880 --> 23:03.960
in the name of the Father, Son.

23:03.960 --> 23:05.480
Look, the Bible doesn't always tell us

23:05.480 --> 23:08.400
every single word that was spoken in every situation.

23:09.100 --> 23:14.820
It's kind of like this morning about Paul, he doesn't, you know, that part about calling

23:14.820 --> 23:21.520
upon the name of the Lord and being baptized is not in the first account of Paul's conversion.

23:21.520 --> 23:23.420
But he gives us extra details.

23:23.420 --> 23:27.940
It's almost like we get the gospel of Paul's conversion because the story is told like

23:27.940 --> 23:28.780
three times.

23:29.100 --> 23:30.100
in the book of Acts.

23:30.100 --> 23:33.260
So anyway, I'm just saying that sometimes people just,

23:33.260 --> 23:35.680
they get all stuck on details like,

23:35.680 --> 23:37.780
well it doesn't say that he did this.

23:37.780 --> 23:39.940
It's like, it doesn't have to.

23:39.940 --> 23:42.780
Does it say exactly what Philip said to the eunuch?

23:42.780 --> 23:45.660
No, it just says he preached unto him Jesus.

23:45.660 --> 23:48.940
He didn't just walk up and go, Jesus,

23:48.940 --> 23:51.300
and then he got saved.

23:51.300 --> 23:55.180
I mean, people just need to use some common sense sometimes.

23:55.600 --> 24:02.100
And he put on those thinking caps a little bit and stopped being so stuck on, you know,

24:02.100 --> 24:05.400
obviously I believe every word, but like God is just going to tell us the things that we

24:05.400 --> 24:10.360
need to know in the passage itself and we should just assume that he was very thorough

24:10.360 --> 24:12.860
with his gospel presentation.

24:12.860 --> 24:15.520
So not too difficult to figure that out.

24:15.520 --> 24:20.280
Turn to Acts 16, Acts 16.

24:20.280 --> 24:22.160
I mean, you can show people this.

24:22.500 --> 24:24.500
And they still won't get it.

24:24.500 --> 24:30.500
Why are pastors making people go through a class to get baptized?

24:30.500 --> 24:34.000
If they believed, they can get baptized. They're a candidate.

24:34.000 --> 24:37.500
That's what makes you a candidate. You believe on Christ.

24:37.500 --> 24:41.500
If you believe with all your heart, you may.

24:41.500 --> 24:45.500
It's not if you believe with all your heart and you may take a class.

24:45.500 --> 24:48.500
That's not what it says.

24:48.500 --> 24:50.500
It's just bizarre.

24:50.600 --> 24:53.160
I mean, where was the class out here?

24:53.160 --> 24:54.840
Show me the class that Philip gave.

24:54.840 --> 24:57.000
It's like, oh, and by the way,

24:57.000 --> 24:58.880
you have to understand this and understand that.

24:58.880 --> 25:00.640
No, you just have to be saved.

25:00.640 --> 25:03.860
So, and then get baptized by immersion

25:03.860 --> 25:06.800
by a person that's okay to do it, all right?

25:06.800 --> 25:07.600
So.

25:08.000 --> 25:11.000
Let's see, Acts 16, 30 says,

25:11.000 --> 25:12.400
and brought them out and said,

25:12.400 --> 25:15.000
this is the Philippian jailer, of course,

25:15.000 --> 25:15.840
and brought them out and said,

25:15.840 --> 25:17.800
Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

25:17.800 --> 25:20.480
And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,

25:20.480 --> 25:22.440
and thou shalt be saved in thy house.

25:22.440 --> 25:24.960
They tell him the first thing that's important, right?

25:24.960 --> 25:27.680
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord,

25:27.680 --> 25:29.940
and to all that were in his house.

25:29.940 --> 25:32.760
So a translation, they gave all of them the gospel,

25:32.760 --> 25:33.760
and they got saved.

25:34.720 --> 25:35.840
And he took them.

25:36.000 --> 25:40.800
the same hour of the night and washed their stripes

25:40.800 --> 25:44.760
and was baptized and all of his straight away.

25:44.760 --> 25:46.480
So Paul didn't baptize very many people.

25:46.480 --> 25:49.640
He said I didn't come to baptize but to preach the gospel.

25:49.640 --> 25:53.320
But I mean, here's an instance where he probably did

25:53.320 --> 25:56.720
or if he didn't, then Barnabas did.

25:56.720 --> 26:01.720
So either way, one of those guys baptized that family.

26:02.500 --> 26:08.100
And obviously, and this is what people say, well there was probably little babies in that

26:08.100 --> 26:11.580
household and that's why babies are able to be baptized.

26:11.580 --> 26:19.340
That's the stupidity that you get from unsafe people when they talk on this issue.

26:19.340 --> 26:21.220
So does it say that some of them were babies?

26:22.100 --> 26:27.020
That's the time when you need to say, yes, does it actually say that though?

26:27.020 --> 26:30.640
I mean there's times when things have to be said and times when they don't have to be

26:30.640 --> 26:32.300
necessarily said.

26:32.300 --> 26:36.980
That would be a time, you know, you don't base your doctrine off of what the Bible doesn't

26:36.980 --> 26:40.260
say, you base it upon what it does say.

26:40.260 --> 26:44.660
So that's a hard thing for some people because some people don't even believe that the Bible

26:44.660 --> 26:45.300
is the Word of God.

26:45.900 --> 26:49.300
If they don't even believe the Bible is the word of God, then what good is that going

26:49.300 --> 26:53.060
to do them to even come and be a member of some church?

26:53.060 --> 26:54.060
But it happens.

26:54.060 --> 26:57.220
It exists all over the world.

26:57.220 --> 27:02.180
But it says that he baptized him in all his straight away, not after the class.

27:02.180 --> 27:06.020
They didn't have time for a class.

27:06.020 --> 27:07.900
He washes their stripes.

27:07.900 --> 27:11.960
The jailer washes their stripes because obviously they had bloody stripes upon them from the

27:11.960 --> 27:12.840
beating that they took.

27:13.300 --> 27:14.800
And then they baptized him.

27:14.800 --> 27:16.460
And then when he brought him into his house,

27:16.460 --> 27:18.920
he set meat before them and rejoiced,

27:18.920 --> 27:21.500
believing in God with all of his house.

27:21.500 --> 27:24.940
So there is no instance where you're going to see

27:24.940 --> 27:27.420
that someone had to wait to get baptized.

27:27.420 --> 27:28.980
It's just not in there.

27:29.820 --> 27:32.720
So we should always encourage our converts to get baptized.

27:32.720 --> 27:34.140
When you get someone saved,

27:34.140 --> 27:36.900
always go to this passage and say,

27:37.000 --> 27:41.200
And just tell them this is how we because you can like kill a bunch of birds with one stone here, too

27:41.680 --> 27:47.380
Because you can also show them how bad their Bible version is because at verse 37 is missing from their Bible

27:48.040 --> 27:50.680
So you can that's how you can do the exchange program

27:50.680 --> 27:52.920
We have a Bible exchange program at this church

27:52.920 --> 27:59.160
And it's show me your your crappy NIV or whatever and we'll trade that out for a King James

27:59.440 --> 28:02.980
So one that actually has all the words of God in it

28:03.600 --> 28:11.460
So, if, so you can get someone on the King James right here, you can tell them that they

28:11.460 --> 28:14.220
have to believe with all their heart to be baptized.

28:14.220 --> 28:18.180
That's how you show them their baptism didn't count, if they weren't saved before.

28:18.180 --> 28:21.760
You can just use this passage for your follow-up.

28:21.760 --> 28:25.500
So and let me just turn to the passage.

28:25.800 --> 28:29.960
I have this printed out but I want to actually add something else here.

28:29.960 --> 28:35.040
Might as well just kick this puppy while it's right here anyhow.

28:35.040 --> 28:39.040
I'm a kicker of doctrinal puppies.

28:39.040 --> 28:43.360
Let's see it says in Acts 16

28:43.360 --> 28:48.040
verse number... let's see...

28:48.040 --> 28:49.800
35.

28:52.100 --> 28:54.100
And when it was day, the magistrates...

28:54.100 --> 28:57.100
Oh wait, no, no, no. I'm in the wrong passage.

28:57.100 --> 29:00.100
Acts 8, back in Acts 8. I'm sorry.

29:00.100 --> 29:03.100
I was sitting there talking, rambling on about Acts 8, and I was in Acts 16.

29:03.100 --> 29:07.100
Okay, Acts 8, verse 35.

29:07.100 --> 29:09.100
Sorry about that. It says,

29:09.100 --> 29:13.100
Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and preached unto him Jesus.

29:13.100 --> 29:14.100
That's the wrong verse.

29:14.100 --> 29:16.900
Good night. It's verse 31, isn't it?

29:19.500 --> 29:21.500
No?

29:24.300 --> 29:26.300
Oh, it's the last verse, verse 40.

29:26.300 --> 29:28.300
Or verse 39, I'm sorry.

29:28.300 --> 29:29.300
Verse 39.

29:29.300 --> 29:30.300
Good night.

29:30.300 --> 29:31.300
I'll get it figured out here.

29:31.300 --> 29:36.300
And when they were come up out of the waters, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip,

29:36.300 --> 29:39.300
that the eunuch saw him no more, and he went on his way rejoicing.

29:39.300 --> 29:41.200
Where is his follow-up program?

29:42.600 --> 29:45.600
His follow-up program was the Spirit of God took him away from him.

29:45.600 --> 29:50.600
And so, it's like, you're on your own, baby boy.

29:50.600 --> 29:52.600
And he took off, right?

29:52.600 --> 29:55.600
He gets taken away.

29:55.600 --> 29:58.600
You know, the Spirit of God caught him up and says,

29:58.600 --> 30:01.600
but Philip was found at Azotus and passing through,

30:01.600 --> 30:04.600
he preached all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

30:04.600 --> 30:06.600
So he saw him no more.

30:06.600 --> 30:08.600
I mean, he basically just disappeared.

30:08.600 --> 30:09.400
He took him away from him.

30:09.500 --> 30:13.260
I didn't even have a chance to follow up.

30:13.260 --> 30:14.300
But we do.

30:14.300 --> 30:15.500
This doesn't happen to us.

30:15.500 --> 30:19.380
So when you're at the door, use Acts 8

30:19.380 --> 30:22.020
and just take them through this.

30:22.020 --> 30:24.260
You can do the King James Exchange Program.

30:24.260 --> 30:26.180
You can show them that their baptism didn't count.

30:26.180 --> 30:28.620
Because a lot of times people say, well,

30:28.620 --> 30:29.900
I've already been baptized.

30:29.900 --> 30:33.820
I think most people say that in America that have

30:33.820 --> 30:35.000
any kind of church background.

30:35.500 --> 30:38.300
And then you can just show them where it says see how you have to believe with all your heart

30:39.020 --> 30:42.700
Before you can get baptized and then you encourage them to come and get baptized

30:43.180 --> 30:47.580
It's the first commandment with or not first command with promise, but it's the first commandment that god tells us to do

30:48.380 --> 30:49.820
and uh

30:49.820 --> 30:51.800
Then you can you know

30:52.200 --> 30:56.200
Like I said, show them that their Bible is corrupted with Acts 8 37.

30:56.200 --> 30:58.440
It's a very useful passage.

30:58.440 --> 31:01.200
So if you want to follow up with someone, you know you're never going to see this person

31:01.200 --> 31:02.200
again.

31:02.200 --> 31:05.040
Maybe it's a kid that you know can't just get a ride by their parents.

31:05.040 --> 31:07.080
Their parents aren't going to bring them to our church.

31:07.080 --> 31:10.280
You're not going to have any further contact with them.

31:10.280 --> 31:14.300
Not every situation is a follow-up situation.

31:14.300 --> 31:18.320
And obviously there are situations that are follow-up situations, but not everyone is.

31:18.800 --> 31:20.800
Not everyone's going to come to church.

31:20.800 --> 31:22.800
We already know that.

31:22.800 --> 31:26.160
So you might as well give them what you can while you're right there.

31:26.160 --> 31:29.920
And a lot of times I think when we're done giving someone the gospel and they get saved

31:29.920 --> 31:34.520
it's kind of like, you know, virtue leaves us or something and we just want to get out

31:34.520 --> 31:35.520
of there.

31:35.520 --> 31:39.120
And they want to get away from us too, you know, probably.

31:39.120 --> 31:39.600
But

31:39.700 --> 31:44.420
You know, while you already have them there, just they're a captive audience at that point.

31:44.420 --> 31:47.220
Just tell them really quickly these things.

31:47.220 --> 31:48.220
Switch out your Bible.

31:48.220 --> 31:49.220
You need to be baptized.

31:49.220 --> 31:50.980
Oh, I've been baptized before.

31:50.980 --> 31:53.300
No, you haven't because it did count because of this.

31:53.300 --> 31:55.300
And then just show them that stuff real quick.

31:55.300 --> 31:56.460
And then invite them to church.

31:57.000 --> 32:00.700
Make sure they have the invite, make sure they have the service times, and then that's your...

32:00.700 --> 32:02.900
I mean, I'm not saying don't follow up further than that.

32:02.900 --> 32:05.000
I think it's fine to do that.

32:05.000 --> 32:08.700
But again, if it's a 16-year-old kid, are you going to follow up with them?

32:08.700 --> 32:09.900
Probably not.

32:09.900 --> 32:13.700
If it's a 10-year-old kid and one of the kids get them saved,

32:13.700 --> 32:16.100
I'm sure that they're not going to necessarily follow up.

32:16.100 --> 32:20.400
So, it's just, you know, certain people that we can...

32:20.500 --> 32:27.980
actually go further with and maybe get their phone number or whatever and then try to disciple them so on and so forth.

32:28.900 --> 32:36.400
But this occurred right on the road. I mean there was no class and we didn't even know what kind of water this was.

32:36.820 --> 32:38.820
It was just water.

32:39.100 --> 32:42.540
We don't know what kind of monsters were lurking in it or anything like that.

32:42.540 --> 32:49.740
So no crocodiles or I don't know what great risk it was to do this or what kind of algae

32:49.740 --> 32:52.060
was inside this water.

32:52.060 --> 32:55.740
But I'm guessing it's in the Middle East or something or in the desert.

32:55.740 --> 33:00.380
So it's probably a little warm, at least it's warm, you know.

33:00.380 --> 33:02.620
But it doesn't really say what the state of the water is.

33:03.000 --> 33:14.000
And like Naaman, the Syrian who gets, who's told to dip in Jordan seven times, he complains about the water, the water of the Jordan River.

33:14.000 --> 33:18.000
It's like, we have way better rivers than this, where I'm from.

33:18.000 --> 33:21.000
Like, why doesn't he ask us to get in this clean river that we're from?

33:21.000 --> 33:24.000
You know, it's like, it doesn't matter what the water is.

33:24.000 --> 33:25.000
Just do what he said.

33:25.500 --> 33:31.980
And so if whether it's a pool like this, it's a water, it's running water at the Columbia River

33:31.980 --> 33:36.060
or wherever it is. If you can get dunked underneath it, you should be able to get into it and get

33:36.060 --> 33:46.700
baptized. So anyway, so then let's move on to the literal in the flesh local church only. And I've

33:46.700 --> 33:49.580
kind of already been preemptively hitting this.

33:50.300 --> 33:52.860
We don't believe in a universal church.

33:52.860 --> 33:58.060
And this is another hot take because most people will fight us on this doctrine and

33:58.060 --> 33:59.980
say, oh no, we're all just one church.

33:59.980 --> 34:01.280
No we're not.

34:01.280 --> 34:04.220
You don't come to my church, buddy.

34:04.220 --> 34:07.660
And you know, you watching Benny Hinn while you're sitting on the couch while he's whipping

34:07.660 --> 34:10.640
people with his coats is not church.

34:10.640 --> 34:11.780
That is not church.

34:11.780 --> 34:13.380
You are not part of the body of Christ.

34:13.380 --> 34:15.500
That guy is a charlatan.

34:15.500 --> 34:16.500
You know?

34:16.500 --> 34:16.600
you

34:16.700 --> 34:19.200
Not every church is alike either.

34:19.200 --> 34:21.440
I mean when I first got saved I used to think that all,

34:21.440 --> 34:23.140
you know, anybody that just said they were Christian

34:23.140 --> 34:24.640
were Christians.

34:24.640 --> 34:26.540
I didn't really know any different.

34:26.540 --> 34:29.780
So I would be talking to like,

34:29.780 --> 34:31.280
what is the Church of England called here?

34:31.280 --> 34:33.880
It's Anglican, yeah, it's Anglican,

34:33.880 --> 34:35.320
but it's also called something else.

34:35.320 --> 34:36.320
Episcopal.

34:36.320 --> 34:37.660
Yeah, Episcopal.

34:37.660 --> 34:42.560
So I was talking to this Episcopal yard maintenance guy.

34:42.560 --> 34:42.600
you

34:42.700 --> 34:46.660
that was at a church that was like a block away from my house after I got saved.

34:46.660 --> 34:51.620
And I just didn't understand how he didn't know the things that I was talking to him

34:51.620 --> 34:52.620
about.

34:52.620 --> 34:56.260
And when I asked about what they believed, because that was before you could just jump

34:56.260 --> 34:57.260
on the internet.

34:57.260 --> 34:59.260
I mean, the internet was slow.

34:59.260 --> 35:05.900
It was like the dial-up stuff or whatever.

35:05.900 --> 35:06.200
Thank you for watching.

35:06.600 --> 35:12.120
I would be talking doctrinally with people that were Christians, but they weren't necessarily

35:12.120 --> 35:17.000
really Christians because they didn't believe they weren't even saved. So when they're looking at me

35:17.000 --> 35:21.640
like I have two heads when I'm talking to them about something, I didn't understand why. But it

35:21.640 --> 35:26.280
takes time to learn these things. Sometimes you don't really just understand that not every

35:26.280 --> 35:30.440
Christian is saved. So, but that's why we're not all in the same church.

35:31.400 --> 35:34.400
And the universal church is a myth.

35:34.400 --> 35:36.400
It's just something that's not true.

35:36.400 --> 35:40.400
It's something that the Catholic Church wants to push on people

35:40.400 --> 35:45.400
and say there's just one holy, you know, there's just one holy Roman church or whatever.

35:45.400 --> 35:47.400
One mother church.

35:47.400 --> 35:52.400
And it's like they think that the Catholic Church was the first church that started

35:52.400 --> 35:56.400
and that everybody else are little bastards that just sprouted off of it or whatever.

35:57.400 --> 36:00.760
And that's not true. The Baptists have never been part of the Catholic Church.

36:00.760 --> 36:08.200
There's a reason why Catholics murdered Christians in the dark ages because they

36:08.200 --> 36:13.400
weren't doing things the way they wanted them to. There's always been legitimate faith on the earth

36:15.240 --> 36:21.080
and since the New Testament began, there's been an unbroken line of succession of people that were saved.

36:21.300 --> 36:26.640
I'm not saying that every church, there's a line of succession back to, from our church

36:26.640 --> 36:31.800
to John the Baptist's church or something, which is what Baptist's Briders think, which

36:31.800 --> 36:33.900
is an insane doctrine.

36:33.900 --> 36:38.960
I mean, I don't know, I'm sure I've told you this before, but there was a church that

36:38.960 --> 36:41.340
we were fellowshiping with when we went to Skyview.

36:41.800 --> 36:45.920
Or maybe it was when we went to Amazing Grace, but we were doing some youth activity, and

36:45.920 --> 36:51.400
the pastor there was telling me how another, because they were missionary Baptists, which

36:51.400 --> 36:56.040
they don't really do missionary work, but they just call themselves missionary Baptists,

36:56.040 --> 37:01.480
but they said that a church that was, that was another missionary Baptist church looked

37:01.480 --> 37:03.440
up the history of that church.

37:03.700 --> 37:08.980
and saw that they served real wine during a communion at one point in their history

37:08.980 --> 37:11.540
and they said that they broke fellowship with them because of that.

37:12.100 --> 37:16.100
I think I might have brought this up just not too long ago but how weird is that?

37:17.540 --> 37:19.460
Oh that I mean those aren't the same people.

37:20.740 --> 37:21.600
I mean

37:22.200 --> 37:37.200
How does this church now that it's existing at that location, what do they have to do with a church from the 1800s that gave out actual wine, you know, like fermented wine, and that just breaks the line?

37:37.200 --> 37:44.200
To them that breaks the chain of succession. And so they have no fellowship with that church anymore.

37:44.200 --> 37:49.000
I mean that is just bizarre. That is cult-like behavior. That's what that is.

37:49.100 --> 37:54.500
And it's bizarre and they think that anybody that's not a Baptist, anybody that's probably

37:54.500 --> 38:01.380
not a missionary Baptist or whatever, you know, that they are serving us in heaven,

38:01.380 --> 38:07.260
they're serving our tables and wearing aprons of some sort and they have to serve, yeah.

38:07.260 --> 38:10.860
I'm like where in the world did they get this stuff from?

38:10.860 --> 38:11.860
Where does it say that?

38:11.860 --> 38:15.220
That someone's going to be serving our tables, the Baptist tables?

38:16.000 --> 38:20.660
I don't know if you ever heard that joke, but it's kind of a slide against Baptists,

38:20.660 --> 38:27.880
but it's still kind of funny where they're like, you know, they're at St. Peter's gates,

38:27.880 --> 38:31.800
you know, so it's always some St. Peter's gate joke or whatever.

38:31.800 --> 38:37.340
But like at some point, I can't remember how the whole joke goes, but at a certain point

38:37.340 --> 38:39.320
they say, who's that over there?

38:39.320 --> 38:41.280
And it's like, that's the Baptists.

38:41.280 --> 38:43.640
You know, they think that they're the only ones that are here or something like that.

38:44.300 --> 38:47.340
So, that's not true.

38:47.340 --> 38:50.340
You know, not only Baptists are going to heaven,

38:50.340 --> 38:53.140
but I mean, I would say that there's a lot of other churches

38:53.140 --> 38:54.980
that aren't saved though.

38:54.980 --> 38:57.180
And so why would we have fellowship

38:57.180 --> 39:00.280
or communion with another church

39:00.280 --> 39:02.820
that doesn't even believe in real salvation,

39:02.820 --> 39:04.900
they don't believe in real baptism?

39:04.900 --> 39:07.020
They're so far separated from us

39:07.020 --> 39:08.740
that there's just no way

39:08.740 --> 39:10.740
that we could have fellowship with them.

39:11.100 --> 39:15.820
which I'm already kind of getting into one of my other points, but let's look at some

39:15.820 --> 39:25.420
just some real simple verses here. Let's see, 1st Corinthians 12, 27.

39:26.860 --> 39:34.700
And so obviously the church is something that Jesus died for. He shed his blood for the church

39:35.580 --> 39:36.860
and he loves the church.

39:37.500 --> 39:40.500
and the gates of hell will not prevail against the church.

39:40.500 --> 39:42.300
But when you use that word, the church,

39:42.300 --> 39:45.540
people get this idea that it's just one church.

39:45.540 --> 39:47.340
But that's not true.

39:47.340 --> 39:48.540
It's individual churches.

39:52.460 --> 39:56.100
And we believe that each individual church should

39:56.100 --> 39:58.540
be independent of other churches.

39:58.540 --> 40:00.700
That's why when we have a church plant or something,

40:00.700 --> 40:02.580
eventually we cut the cord.

40:03.100 --> 40:08.300
and ordain that pastor and he becomes the pastor of his own independent church. They change the

40:08.300 --> 40:13.340
name of the church, they change all the station area, whatever else, and they're no longer connected

40:13.340 --> 40:17.740
with us in a way, not that we're not still friends, not that we still can't hang out,

40:17.740 --> 40:21.420
but they're not connected with us in the fact that they're part of our church

40:22.060 --> 40:29.340
because they become an independent autonomous church. So, 1st Corinthians 12, 27 says,

40:30.400 --> 40:37.280
Now, ye are the body of Christ and members in particular."

40:37.280 --> 40:43.800
So if you're the body of Christ, you're the body of Christ in your area.

40:43.800 --> 40:46.960
There's different churches.

40:46.960 --> 40:50.920
If church was the only word and it was never a plural term in the Bible, then maybe I would

40:50.920 --> 40:53.040
give credence to this a little bit.

40:53.040 --> 40:55.320
But there are several churches that are spoken about.

40:55.600 --> 41:03.560
Now, Galatians chapter 1, go and turn to Galatians chapter 1, this kind of proves the point.

41:03.560 --> 41:06.020
And so does Revelation chapter 1, by the way.

41:06.020 --> 41:13.200
But Galatians chapter 1 says, Paul an apostle not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ

41:13.200 --> 41:18.360
and God the Father, who raised him from the dead, and all the brethren which are with

41:18.360 --> 41:20.480
me unto, what does it say there?

41:20.480 --> 41:23.040
The Churches of Galatia.

41:23.300 --> 41:29.940
So if it was just one church with all these different locations, then it would be not

41:29.940 --> 41:33.940
called, it would just be called the Church of Galatia. Why would it be called the Churches

41:33.940 --> 41:39.700
of Galatia? Well, because there's multiple churches there. And so like, but obviously we have

41:39.700 --> 41:44.580
satellite churches or church plants that we have, but they're still attached to us. They're still

41:44.580 --> 41:46.000
part of our church.

41:46.100 --> 41:49.140
until they become autonomous.

41:49.140 --> 41:52.140
So I would say that they're a separate church

41:52.140 --> 41:56.640
with a separate congregation, but they're not

41:56.640 --> 41:58.440
they're not an independent church.

41:58.440 --> 41:59.440
That's what it is.

41:59.440 --> 42:03.440
So they're still a church, they're just not an independent church.

42:03.440 --> 42:05.940
And people are like, that's not biblical, that's not biblical to do that.

42:05.940 --> 42:08.940
Okay, well then explain to me how Paul planted churches then.

42:09.400 --> 42:15.880
Because I'm pretty sure he went around and preached the gospel in all these different places and then he's writing letters to them later on

42:15.960 --> 42:18.920
you know the book of Acts tells us all the places he went and

42:19.480 --> 42:24.320
then and then in the book of Revelation there's churches that he planted that's mentioned and

42:25.320 --> 42:32.360
Then he writes letters to go the Galatians to the multiple churches. He writes church letter to Ephesus

42:33.080 --> 42:35.080
to the church at Ephesus

42:36.000 --> 42:42.000
So there's one church there, but he's writing to all these churches because they're autonomous.

42:42.000 --> 42:46.000
Let's look at Revelation chapter 1.

42:46.000 --> 42:54.000
So it says you're now the body of Christ and members in particular, but what church is he talking to?

42:54.000 --> 42:56.000
He's talking to the church at Corinth.

42:56.000 --> 43:01.800
That church at Corinth was an independent church, and I'm not sure that they even had a pastor.

43:01.900 --> 43:04.900
until a certain point, but because it seems like they just didn't.

43:05.900 --> 43:08.900
He never seems to address the pastor of that church,

43:09.900 --> 43:11.900
because I don't think that there probably was one.

43:11.900 --> 43:15.900
And so when people say, well it's not biblical to put someone that's not a pastor as the leader of a church,

43:15.900 --> 43:17.900
well, you know, chapter and verse on that.

43:18.900 --> 43:20.900
I mean, because Philip goes...

43:21.000 --> 43:23.080
Well, actually, there's another spot.

43:23.080 --> 43:30.640
He goes to Caesarea, and then 20 years later, we find him in the same location.

43:30.640 --> 43:32.480
So what was he just not leading there?

43:32.480 --> 43:35.840
He wasn't leading that, and he was a deacon at that time.

43:35.840 --> 43:37.640
And then he's called Philip the Evangelist the next time.

43:37.640 --> 43:39.040
We see him 20 years later.

43:39.040 --> 43:43.640
So at some point, he stopped being Philip the Deacon and started becoming Philip the

43:43.640 --> 43:44.640
Evangelist.

43:44.640 --> 43:46.060
And you know why I think that is?

43:46.060 --> 43:47.060
he was no longer.

43:47.500 --> 43:50.500
at the same church, because he started at the Church of Jerusalem.

43:51.500 --> 43:57.500
And so how are you the deacon of the Church of Jerusalem if you're in Caesarea for 20 years?

43:58.500 --> 44:02.500
So I think he just changed, I mean the Bible doesn't mention his wife.

44:03.500 --> 44:09.500
I think that's key there, because he mentions his daughters were soul winners, but it doesn't mention his wife.

44:09.800 --> 44:13.640
his wife probably died is what I'm guessing. It doesn't say that, but that's just what I'm

44:13.640 --> 44:18.600
guessing. And then if you're not, if you don't have a wife, then you're not qualified to be a deacon anymore.

44:19.100 --> 44:21.660
And so he probably just stayed, filled the evangelist,

44:21.660 --> 44:23.900
probably didn't want to get remarried,

44:23.900 --> 44:25.460
have his daughters all hating on her or whatever,

44:25.460 --> 44:27.100
because that's probably what would have happened.

44:27.100 --> 44:32.100
But anyway, so Revelation chapter one, verse number four,

44:33.660 --> 44:34.740
I was gonna say some other stuff,

44:34.740 --> 44:37.300
but I just wanted to keep my comments to myself on that one.

44:37.300 --> 44:40.340
All right, I was gonna say women are mean sometimes.

44:40.340 --> 44:44.900
Other women, let's see, especially someone else,

44:44.900 --> 44:46.660
you ain't gonna replace my mama.

44:47.100 --> 44:49.380
I said it, there I said it, all right.

44:49.380 --> 44:51.380
Revelation chapter one verse four,

44:51.380 --> 44:54.300
John to the seven churches which are in Asia.

44:55.160 --> 44:57.980
So is it just one church or is it multiple churches?

44:57.980 --> 44:59.180
It's multiple churches.

44:59.180 --> 45:02.140
Grace be to you and peace from him which is,

45:02.140 --> 45:03.820
which was and which is to come,

45:03.820 --> 45:07.920
and from the seven spirits which are before his throne.

45:07.920 --> 45:08.600
So.

45:08.700 --> 45:12.900
And then if you read the book of Revelation, which we just got done studying the book of Revelation,

45:12.900 --> 45:17.500
but there's seven churches and he has seven messages for those seven churches.

45:17.500 --> 45:20.700
The message isn't the same message to...

45:20.800 --> 45:24.400
the universal churches, which doesn't make sense,

45:24.400 --> 45:28.400
but it's not, hey, you all need to hear this same message,

45:28.400 --> 45:30.700
but even though they got written the same letter,

45:30.700 --> 45:33.700
they got all the same, because obviously you can learn things

45:33.700 --> 45:36.000
and you can apply things from the Word of God,

45:36.000 --> 45:39.100
but He is addressing those specific churches

45:39.100 --> 45:41.600
and the things that they are doing wrong

45:41.600 --> 45:43.600
and the things that they're doing right.

45:43.600 --> 45:47.500
And so, the other church isn't guilty of doing the other thing,

45:47.500 --> 45:48.780
But what do we see in denial?

45:48.800 --> 45:53.800
denominational churches in this world,

45:53.800 --> 45:58.040
that if one church, the head mother church or whatever,

45:58.040 --> 46:02.120
the headquarters goes bad or their doctrine goes bad,

46:02.120 --> 46:04.400
then all those churches go bad with it.

46:04.400 --> 46:05.840
That's why the Southern Baptist Convention

46:05.840 --> 46:07.840
is in such poor shape right now

46:07.840 --> 46:10.000
because they've let a bunch of Calvinists in,

46:10.000 --> 46:11.400
they've let a bunch of, you know,

46:11.400 --> 46:12.760
they're always trying to decide

46:12.760 --> 46:14.700
whether they should let women be pastors.

46:14.800 --> 46:18.240
That keeps coming up because they've just gone full libtard.

46:18.240 --> 46:20.160
They've gotten rid of the King James and most...

46:20.160 --> 46:23.760
I mean, obviously there's probably some podunk places

46:23.760 --> 46:25.680
that still have a pastor that preaches hard.

46:25.680 --> 46:29.200
And I'm not saying that every Southern Baptist pastor is bad,

46:30.960 --> 46:36.400
but denominational churches are not biblical, you know?

46:36.960 --> 46:40.240
They have a thing called the Lottie Moon Fund, where she was a missionary.

46:40.800 --> 46:47.840
for the Southern Baptists. And so they force all the churches to give an offering, the

46:47.840 --> 46:52.880
Lottie Moon offering, and send that to the headquarters. That is not biblical. They should

46:52.880 --> 46:56.400
not be able to make that decision for everybody. Maybe that church can't afford to do that. Or,

46:56.400 --> 47:01.680
you know, I don't know exactly how everything works exactly, but what I do know is it is a

47:01.680 --> 47:07.120
denomination. And Baptists, or people will say that we're a denomination, but we're not a denomination.

47:08.100 --> 47:11.820
We're actually more into, we're, I tell people sometimes,

47:11.820 --> 47:15.060
well we're non-denominational too.

47:15.060 --> 47:16.140
Because we are.

47:16.140 --> 47:18.700
We don't have anybody telling us what to do.

47:18.700 --> 47:20.180
We don't have a pope telling us what to do.

47:20.180 --> 47:24.020
We don't have some headquarters telling us what to do.

47:24.020 --> 47:26.220
And even though people might think this and they say this

47:26.220 --> 47:28.700
and it's still not true, that we have to run all

47:28.700 --> 47:30.580
of our sermons past Pastor Anderson.

47:30.700 --> 47:32.300
He doesn't have time to read my sermon.

47:32.300 --> 47:34.800
I can tell you that right now because my sermons are long.

47:34.800 --> 47:37.000
But it just doesn't happen.

47:37.000 --> 47:38.600
It's just not true.

47:38.600 --> 47:42.900
And there's different, we have differences in certain things that we believe.

47:42.900 --> 47:48.200
And look, I have full autonomy to preach whatever I want.

47:48.200 --> 47:51.800
And you know, if we don't agree on something, we just preach something different.

47:51.800 --> 47:54.200
But obviously we're still friends.

47:54.200 --> 47:58.200
And we preach as if we're friends, not enemies.

47:58.700 --> 48:02.860
So, I mean, that's the way it should be done.

48:02.860 --> 48:05.540
So if somebody's just going wrong,

48:05.540 --> 48:06.920
like say, because we've had, look,

48:06.920 --> 48:10.860
we've had people just flip out and just leave

48:10.860 --> 48:12.900
fellowshipping with us and stuff like that.

48:12.900 --> 48:15.500
It's like, bye, you know, have fun.

48:15.500 --> 48:18.260
Believe in a double inspiration, Patrick Boyle.

48:18.260 --> 48:21.000
And, you know, whatever his name is,

48:21.000 --> 48:22.240
what was the guy he went to college with?

48:22.240 --> 48:25.800
Joe Major, Joe Major's on the minors, you know.

48:26.200 --> 48:29.380
He believes the same thing.

48:29.380 --> 48:30.680
That's kind of where the split came from,

48:30.680 --> 48:34.380
is that they didn't like the new IFB take

48:34.380 --> 48:36.220
on the King James Bible.

48:36.220 --> 48:39.320
And so they had their own little Bible conference

48:39.320 --> 48:40.760
where they're saying all this weird stuff.

48:40.760 --> 48:42.760
We got some good sound bites out of that.

48:42.760 --> 48:45.920
Like, oh, I'm a retard, I'm stupid, I'm a retard.

48:45.920 --> 48:47.320
Remember that guy?

48:47.320 --> 48:48.920
And he's like, you give me a puzzle,

48:48.920 --> 48:49.860
I can't put it together.

48:49.860 --> 48:51.800
And he's just like saying all these dumb things.

48:51.800 --> 48:52.600
It's like.

48:53.900 --> 48:56.000
What was his name?

48:56.000 --> 48:57.000
Greg something or other.

48:57.000 --> 49:03.280
But anyway, like they just disinvited anybody that didn't agree with their little weird

49:03.280 --> 49:04.280
stance.

49:04.280 --> 49:08.660
And look, you can believe that all you want and throw, you can throw the Bible on the

49:08.660 --> 49:12.060
ground and say it's not the word of God, but it doesn't mean it's not.

49:12.060 --> 49:16.280
So that's kind of where that split really came from.

49:16.280 --> 49:19.740
But those churches will, like Patrick Boyle's church will still say that they're new IFB.

49:20.100 --> 49:24.740
because they still believe a lot of the core doctrines that we believe.

49:24.740 --> 49:26.420
And that's fine.

49:26.420 --> 49:27.940
You know, we're independent.

49:27.940 --> 49:29.940
You can believe that if you want to.

49:30.200 --> 49:36.200
And you can hate on us if you want to about certain things, but we're independent.

49:36.200 --> 49:40.080
I don't have to check in with anybody.

49:40.080 --> 49:41.760
I don't have to toe a line.

49:41.760 --> 49:45.360
I don't have to do anything that I don't want to do.

49:45.360 --> 49:50.760
And obviously if I feel led by the Holy Spirit and the Bible more importantly, not because

49:50.760 --> 49:56.720
the Holy Spirit isn't important, but I'm just saying the words of God are from the Spirit,

49:56.720 --> 49:58.200
the words of Jesus, they're the words of Jesus.

49:58.200 --> 50:01.680
of the Lord and this is what we have to go by.

50:01.680 --> 50:05.560
We can't just trust in our feelings all the time because a lot of people trust in their

50:05.560 --> 50:06.560
feelings don't they?

50:06.560 --> 50:08.720
And they're not saved.

50:08.720 --> 50:10.520
That's what Mormons do.

50:10.520 --> 50:16.120
Well I had a burning in my bosom and you know, that's not salvation buddy.

50:16.120 --> 50:20.080
What you saw, you had a sign happen, you got indigestion, you got some heartburn.

50:20.080 --> 50:22.240
So you needed a mapper's awl or whatever.

50:22.600 --> 50:32.520
You need some Tums or what other kind of drugs it takes to get rid of your heartburn.

50:32.520 --> 50:37.080
But I believe that the devil probably just gives them that little burn in the bosom.

50:37.080 --> 50:39.480
He's got a new convert every time he does that.

50:39.480 --> 50:42.880
Just give them a little heartburn and they're mine forever.

50:42.880 --> 50:44.840
Weird.

50:45.400 --> 50:48.540
We are autonomous, that means we are self-governing.

50:48.540 --> 50:49.860
And the Bible is our guide.

50:49.860 --> 50:54.860
The Bible tells us what our doctrine and faith should be.

50:54.860 --> 51:01.500
And it's not some man, it's not some headquarters, it's not some holy Roman Catholic church which

51:01.500 --> 51:02.500
means universal.

51:02.500 --> 51:05.740
We don't believe in the universal church.

51:05.740 --> 51:09.140
How can you walk together except you be agreed?

51:09.500 --> 51:11.180
I don't agree with them.

51:11.180 --> 51:14.420
I don't agree with anything that they believe, really.

51:14.420 --> 51:15.980
We don't believe in idols being in the church.

51:15.980 --> 51:19.260
We don't believe in popes.

51:19.260 --> 51:20.640
We don't believe Peter was the first pope.

51:20.640 --> 51:22.340
I mean, there's just so many things we don't believe

51:22.340 --> 51:23.460
and agree with.

51:23.460 --> 51:26.080
Why would we attach ourselves and say

51:26.080 --> 51:28.740
that we're part of that church?

51:28.740 --> 51:30.540
But the Roman Catholic Church will say,

51:30.540 --> 51:34.200
everybody's Catholic whether they realize it or not.

51:34.800 --> 51:38.440
It's just like, no, that's not true.

51:38.440 --> 51:42.400
And we don't believe people are burning in purgatory for 10,000 years or whatever.

51:42.400 --> 51:47.200
And if you follow the pope on Twitter, you can get 3,000 years off that or something.

51:47.200 --> 51:49.860
That's just ridiculous.

51:49.860 --> 51:51.800
But that's what the last pope said.

51:51.800 --> 51:53.040
Follow me on Twitter and you get like...

51:53.800 --> 51:58.240
Years out of purgatory or so ten thousand years out of purgatory. It's like all right

51:59.060 --> 52:01.260
Tweet away. I mean

52:02.000 --> 52:06.080
Why not just say if you follow me on Twitter? I'll make sure you don't go to purgatory

52:06.080 --> 52:12.240
I mean that wouldn't that be nicer if he's got the power to do that then why can't he just do that well because he

52:12.240 --> 52:13.840
doesn't because he's a

52:13.840 --> 52:15.840
Charlton and heathen okay, so

52:16.500 --> 52:22.020
But the only time that we're going to, you know, at some point we will be one big church.

52:22.020 --> 52:27.580
In Hebrews 12, 23 it says, to the general assembly and the church of the firstborn which

52:27.580 --> 52:32.740
are written in heaven and to God the judge of all and to the spirits of the just men

52:32.740 --> 52:33.740
made perfect.

52:33.740 --> 52:39.040
So, you know, in maternity future there will be one general assembly.

52:39.040 --> 52:42.540
There will be one universal church if you want to call it that.

52:43.200 --> 52:44.840
but

52:44.840 --> 52:49.480
That's what Catholic means it just means universal so they believe in the universal church

52:49.680 --> 52:53.060
But isn't it funny how a bunch of other churches believe the same thing that they do

52:54.000 --> 52:56.420
Because a lot of them are off off

52:56.840 --> 53:02.600
Shoots from the from the Catholic Church the Presbyterians are off shoots from the Catholic Church

53:02.880 --> 53:05.760
there's lots of churches that are off shoots of the Catholic Church and

53:06.840 --> 53:08.840
So they believe some of you know the Lutherans

53:09.600 --> 53:15.840
Same thing. Why do they still baptize babies? Because Holy Mother Church did the same thing.

53:15.840 --> 53:20.640
Why do they have such weird, you know, why do they still do the liturgy and all this other stuff?

53:20.640 --> 53:25.240
Because they're part of the Catholic Church. That's why. They just left.

53:25.240 --> 53:29.480
They say that the Pope left them or the Catholic Church left them or whatever, but

53:29.480 --> 53:32.000
that's not the way the Catholic Church looks at it.

53:32.000 --> 53:35.200
They look at it, at some point they're all going to come back.

53:35.200 --> 53:36.720
And they probably will.

53:37.000 --> 53:41.920
It will probably be under the false prophet and the antichrist that they all come back

53:41.920 --> 53:42.920
together again.

53:42.920 --> 53:47.320
So, anyway, now let's look at another subject.

53:47.320 --> 53:49.440
Oh, we don't really have time, do we?

53:49.440 --> 53:50.960
Dang, two subjects, that's it?

53:50.960 --> 53:53.920
I'm going to be preaching this series forever.

53:53.920 --> 54:00.320
Okay, well, let me just have one more here.

54:00.320 --> 54:03.640
We reject the modern state of Israel as God's chosen people.

54:05.000 --> 54:13.000
So I was talking to Pastor Anderson this afternoon on the phone and he said that I just got 8,000 new subscribers to Twitter.

54:13.000 --> 54:15.800
I said it, I'll get you out of hell for no, I'm just joking.

54:15.800 --> 54:17.200
He didn't say that.

54:17.200 --> 54:23.700
But he like, I guess he preached against some guy wearing a yarmulke to his church and like he rebuked him in front of everybody.

54:23.700 --> 54:26.300
There's like a viral clip going on about it.

54:26.300 --> 54:30.400
And so his Twitter page was dead in the water until.

54:30.900 --> 54:34.140
He put that on and people are liking him again or whatever.

54:34.140 --> 54:37.740
So whenever you say something bad about the Jews, then Twitter's going to follow you.

54:37.740 --> 54:38.740
Or whatever.

54:38.740 --> 54:40.460
They're going to be all good.

54:40.460 --> 54:45.660
Until they see a sermon from this morning about how he loves black people, then they

54:45.660 --> 54:50.020
might change their mind because Twitter's also kind of racist in some ways.

54:50.020 --> 54:52.100
So anyway.

54:52.700 --> 54:56.100
They might unsubscribe now or stop following.

54:56.100 --> 55:02.120
But anyway, so we reject the modern state of Israel as God's chosen people.

55:02.120 --> 55:07.020
And the overwhelming majority of modern independent Baptists and Evangelicals are staunchly Christian

55:07.020 --> 55:08.020
Zionists.

55:08.020 --> 55:15.380
Believe it or not, in 1948 the establishment of Israel was a fulfillment of Bible prophecy

55:15.380 --> 55:19.980
and that the Jewish people remain God's chosen nation or people.

55:20.500 --> 55:26.040
And we as a church fiercely reject this.

55:26.040 --> 55:31.000
And we argue from the New Testament

55:31.000 --> 55:35.980
because it really just kind of goes from,

55:35.980 --> 55:41.040
you know, it goes from a physical nation to a spiritual nation.

55:41.040 --> 55:44.720
And I really did have a hard time seeing this, I'll just admit it,

55:44.720 --> 55:47.760
because they tell a good story.

55:48.000 --> 55:52.000
Because in 1948, they'll use passages like in Isaiah where it says,

55:52.000 --> 56:00.560
a shall nation bring forth in one day, and it talks about rain in the desert or whatever,

56:00.560 --> 56:04.400
and that Israel will be a nation in one day. That's what they're taking this as,

56:04.400 --> 56:07.360
Israel will become a nation in one day. And they'll use that.

56:08.700 --> 56:14.860
to bolst and I gotta admit I fell for that. You know our church was Zionist that I went to

56:14.860 --> 56:21.660
and it was hard for me to see that but once you see it you can't unsee it and then everything in

56:21.660 --> 56:27.500
the Bible really opens up to you and then you start seeing like the Jews in every passage pretty

56:27.500 --> 56:32.140
much because really Jesus, a lot of his parables, he's speaking right to them.

56:32.900 --> 56:36.160
You know, because a lot of his parables, obviously there's many interpretations that you can

56:36.160 --> 56:38.900
use and many applications that you can use with his parables.

56:38.900 --> 56:41.020
That's what makes him so great.

56:41.020 --> 56:45.140
But a lot of them, even the prodigal son, at the end of the prodigal son, the older

56:45.140 --> 56:51.220
brother Israel is mad because the younger brother, the Gentile, who got saved late or

56:51.220 --> 56:55.700
whatever, who was late to the party and he was eating with the pigs.

56:55.700 --> 56:57.300
How dare he touch the pig?

56:57.300 --> 57:00.820
You know, the Pharisees are so...

57:00.900 --> 57:03.580
such freaks about all that stuff.

57:03.580 --> 57:08.380
And then he's upset because his father threw him a party

57:08.380 --> 57:10.640
and gave him a ring and gave him, you know,

57:10.640 --> 57:13.100
cleaned him up and welcomed him with open arms.

57:13.100 --> 57:15.700
He's like, oh, come, you know, you didn't make a party

57:15.700 --> 57:18.260
where I could make merry with my friends, you know?

57:18.260 --> 57:23.260
So the Jews were jealous or envious, I should say,

57:23.760 --> 57:25.800
of the Gentiles and they still are today.

57:25.900 --> 57:28.460
They're still envious today.

57:28.460 --> 57:35.180
But somehow, through those types of things, they have, and through the Scofield Reference

57:35.180 --> 57:42.940
Bible, I'll say, was a big, major launching point for this because that's when Zionism

57:42.940 --> 57:47.980
started becoming popular and it was, look, the Scofield Reference Bible was backed by

57:47.980 --> 57:48.980
Jews.

57:48.980 --> 57:51.060
It's just a fact of history.

57:51.060 --> 57:53.600
shady you know

57:53.700 --> 57:55.700
secret society or whatever.

57:55.700 --> 57:58.700
You know, Schofield was a divorced man

57:58.700 --> 58:00.700
and abandoned his family

58:00.700 --> 58:02.700
and then became this fam-

58:02.700 --> 58:05.700
He didn't even want to use the King James as his text.

58:05.700 --> 58:09.700
He wanted to use something else, but he didn't want to use something that wasn't popular.

58:09.700 --> 58:14.700
But that was like the perfect catalyst for it because

58:14.700 --> 58:16.500
then you have a bunch of people-

58:16.800 --> 58:20.980
that are looking at the Schofield notes instead of looking at what the Bible says and they

58:20.980 --> 58:24.920
find themselves reading the notes to try to interpret what the Bible says because they

58:24.920 --> 58:29.800
don't understand it and then they start believing the same garbage.

58:29.800 --> 58:35.360
In Genesis chapter 12 there's huge marginal notes from the Schofield reference Bible saying

58:35.360 --> 58:36.640
that they're God's chosen people.

58:36.640 --> 58:40.640
This is, you know, if you bless them, bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse

58:40.640 --> 58:42.000
thee it's talking about Israel.

58:42.700 --> 58:48.220
But that's not what it says. It's talking to Abraham. So he's talking to Abraham, to Isaac,

58:48.220 --> 58:55.020
to Jacob, and the line of Christ goes through them, yes. But once that was done and over,

58:55.020 --> 59:00.460
there's no need to have any genealogies. There's no need for any of that. And the physical nation

59:00.460 --> 59:01.600
was rejected.

59:01.900 --> 59:03.900
because they rejected Christ.

59:03.900 --> 59:06.700
And so, he destroyed their nation,

59:06.700 --> 59:08.500
he destroyed their temple,

59:08.500 --> 59:10.800
all the people were made slaves of the Romans

59:10.800 --> 59:12.500
that were left that they didn't kill,

59:12.500 --> 59:16.000
and they put them in the Dyspora

59:16.000 --> 59:18.600
into every corner of the earth,

59:18.600 --> 59:20.500
just like the Bible says would happen.

59:20.500 --> 59:22.700
And that happened more than once.

59:22.700 --> 59:24.700
And you know what? It's going to happen again.

59:24.700 --> 59:25.600
But...

59:26.100 --> 59:32.340
People will say that God still loves the nation of Israel or whatever, and now there is a

59:32.340 --> 59:33.920
nation of Israel.

59:33.920 --> 59:41.120
But that nation of Israel was not led by God moving that because they all believe in Jesus

59:41.120 --> 59:42.600
all of a sudden.

59:42.600 --> 59:47.000
Because they have to believe in the Lord in order to have that land.

59:47.000 --> 59:49.800
And so they're kind of just usurping that land.

59:49.800 --> 59:50.800
They're just kind of holding it.

59:51.200 --> 59:55.920
right now because the real people that are going to get that land are the Jews that have already

59:56.480 --> 01:00:01.440
passed on, the people of Israel that have already passed on, and their lots are already set.

01:00:02.160 --> 01:00:08.240
You know, you don't get that lot. And the Jubilee, the actual thing that the Jubilee is made after

01:00:08.240 --> 01:00:16.080
is the rapture. And it says that Daniel will come into his lot after the 1,335 days, right?

01:00:16.700 --> 01:00:23.200
So, look, they gave those lots to them by lot from Joshua.

01:00:23.200 --> 01:00:33.380
Joshua cast lots, or Moses, or whatever, and then they all had their certain spots, and

01:00:33.380 --> 01:00:38.340
they kept those spots, but it's going to be the same thing in heaven, or in eternity,

01:00:38.340 --> 01:00:41.780
future, or whatever, is that they're going to get those plots of land.

01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:47.040
And they're going to inherit the land, yeah, the saved people.

01:00:47.040 --> 01:00:50.640
Not the people that are unsaved that are walling up these big walls in Palestine

01:00:50.640 --> 01:00:55.200
and shooting people in the back and blowing them up with drones and things like that.

01:00:55.200 --> 01:00:57.360
And blowing up Baptist hospitals.

01:00:58.720 --> 01:01:05.040
Look, the world is really against all this right now and it's kind of like a zenith for the new IFB

01:01:05.600 --> 01:01:08.800
with all this stuff because we've been preaching this stuff for years.

01:01:09.500 --> 01:01:12.420
People are mad about it and getting mad. Oh, I'm so mad

01:01:12.860 --> 01:01:19.580
But it's just true, but the only people are still hanging on to this are just idiots that just don't know the Bible

01:01:19.580 --> 01:01:21.740
I mean, I'm sorry, but dr. Stringer

01:01:21.740 --> 01:01:24.580
I mean I let him preach here and stuff and you know

01:01:24.580 --> 01:01:28.220
He basically led me to believe some things that I just don't think he actually believed

01:01:28.860 --> 01:01:31.420
he's always on their harp and on

01:01:32.660 --> 01:01:34.660
dispensationalism on Facebook and

01:01:35.220 --> 01:01:36.400
He just

01:01:36.700 --> 01:01:43.900
He's basically said that we're worse than Adolf Hitler, the new IFB, basically, because

01:01:43.900 --> 01:01:48.020
we don't believe the Jews, you know, the way we believe.

01:01:48.020 --> 01:01:51.740
But it's just like, how do you not see those things?

01:01:51.740 --> 01:01:56.060
I'm not saying he's not saved, I'm not saying that, but how do you not see these things?

01:01:56.060 --> 01:01:58.220
Well, his pastor is one of the biggest Zionists.

01:01:58.500 --> 01:02:00.800
that ever walked the face of the earth, I think.

01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:03.260
I mean, he's taking all these trips to Israel,

01:02:03.260 --> 01:02:08.260
and he's making videos over there all the time.

01:02:08.380 --> 01:02:09.980
And he's talking, it's like with people

01:02:09.980 --> 01:02:11.260
that aren't even saved.

01:02:11.260 --> 01:02:14.620
And he's acting like, I don't know, it's bizarre.

01:02:14.620 --> 01:02:15.980
But actually, Miss Bobby's the one

01:02:15.980 --> 01:02:19.180
that kind of cued me in to look into all this stuff.

01:02:19.180 --> 01:02:21.820
And then I just noticed that after Dr. Stringer

01:02:21.820 --> 01:02:24.780
refused to come to our conference because he got pressure.

01:02:25.100 --> 01:02:27.980
About it and he wanted to cancel he said he would never cancel

01:02:28.420 --> 01:02:32.460
But then he canceled, you know, he kind of went back on his word, which is fine

01:02:32.460 --> 01:02:34.020
You know if you don't want to be our friend, that's fine

01:02:34.020 --> 01:02:36.020
But I mean he was treated really well

01:02:36.260 --> 01:02:41.980
By our church and he was treated really well at steadfast. He was treated really well at Indy when he was there

01:02:42.540 --> 01:02:44.620
And he really just has no reason to

01:02:46.060 --> 01:02:51.800
Just have this hate fest or whatever, but it's just for Israel my glory, you know

01:02:52.300 --> 01:02:54.800
They love Israel more than they love the church.

01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:57.300
They love Israel more than they love God's chosen people

01:02:57.300 --> 01:02:59.300
because look, we're saved.

01:02:59.300 --> 01:03:02.300
And if you're calling us, you know, all these things

01:03:02.300 --> 01:03:09.300
and you're propping up a false fiat nation called the nation of Israel,

01:03:09.300 --> 01:03:12.300
then you're just wrong.

01:03:12.300 --> 01:03:14.300
How are you going to just denounce your brother

01:03:14.300 --> 01:03:16.300
and say that we're worse than Adolf Hitler?

01:03:16.300 --> 01:03:17.300
How is that?

01:03:17.400 --> 01:03:21.840
I mean, I haven't put anybody in ovens lately, which I don't even know if he actually did

01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:23.040
do that or not.

01:03:23.040 --> 01:03:24.520
That's a subject for another time.

01:03:24.520 --> 01:03:26.960
I'm gonna get myself into trouble here.

01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:28.680
I don't really care.

01:03:28.680 --> 01:03:32.960
I mean, if you order six million pizzas, it's gonna take a long time to cook them.

01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:34.160
You know what I mean?

01:03:34.160 --> 01:03:37.640
So it's gonna take a long time.

01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:42.000
And, you know, like, look, it's just been proven.

01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:46.480
And why do you go to prison in other countries for even just, you know,

01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:49.840
saying that the Holocaust wasn't real?

01:03:49.840 --> 01:03:53.400
And why are they trying to make laws here the same way?

01:03:53.400 --> 01:03:55.320
Because they don't want us questioning it.

01:03:55.320 --> 01:03:58.920
Because the Jews own our Congress.

01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:00.440
That's the fact.

01:04:01.100 --> 01:04:04.820
They're the only nation in the world that's allowed to lobby, a foreign nation that's

01:04:04.820 --> 01:04:07.660
allowed to lobby our Congress like that.

01:04:07.660 --> 01:04:12.700
And then, I mean, we got Mike Huckabee waving his flags and they're all waving their flags.

01:04:12.700 --> 01:04:16.860
Ted Cruz said that he became a senator so that he could help Israel.

01:04:16.860 --> 01:04:19.180
I mean, you can't make this stuff up.

01:04:19.180 --> 01:04:21.620
I mean, that's treason in my mind.

01:04:21.620 --> 01:04:24.540
I mean, he's a treasonous dog.

01:04:24.540 --> 01:04:28.180
And like when that African president.

01:04:28.600 --> 01:04:33.400
I forgot what nation it was, but he said, you know, talking about how fags are disgusting

01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:36.280
or whatever and that they were trying to, I think they were trying to put the death

01:04:36.280 --> 01:04:37.960
penalty on him or something.

01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:41.200
And he like went out and made a big campaign about it.

01:04:41.200 --> 01:04:42.200
You know what?

01:04:42.200 --> 01:04:43.480
Because he's got a homo daughter.

01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:47.080
And he's just saying that what that African leader was saying is disgusting.

01:04:47.080 --> 01:04:49.440
No, you're disgusting, Ted Cruz.

01:04:49.440 --> 01:04:52.520
You're a disgusting Zionistic piece of filth.

01:04:53.200 --> 01:04:58.200
And he's not saved. Just flat out sent. So I better read some scripture then we got to get out of here. Good night.

01:04:58.200 --> 01:05:01.200
Alright, Galatians chapter 3. Sorry guys.

01:05:03.200 --> 01:05:05.200
I've had this pent up in me for a while apparently.

01:05:06.200 --> 01:05:08.200
Let's see, Galatians 3.

01:05:10.200 --> 01:05:12.200
Just gonna flip to it real quick with my phone.

01:05:16.700 --> 01:05:18.300
Equations 3.

01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:30.000
verses 28 and 29.

01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:31.000
Alright, what's it say?

01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:33.000
There is neither Jew nor Greek,

01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:36.000
there is neither bond nor free,

01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:38.000
there is neither male nor female,

01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:40.000
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:43.000
And if you be Christ, then are you Abraham's seed

01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:45.000
and heirs according to the promise.

01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:48.000
So how do you become one of God's chosen people?

01:05:48.000 --> 01:05:50.700
How do you become part of Abraham's seed?

01:05:50.700 --> 01:05:52.460
Well, you believe in Christ.

01:05:52.460 --> 01:05:54.100
Do they believe in Christ over there?

01:05:54.100 --> 01:05:55.100
No.

01:05:55.100 --> 01:05:56.660
So how are they God's chosen people exactly?

01:05:56.660 --> 01:06:01.140
And look, that other covenant has passed away.

01:06:01.140 --> 01:06:06.300
The book of Hebrews makes it very clear that the Old Testament was going away.

01:06:06.300 --> 01:06:08.300
It was done.

01:06:08.300 --> 01:06:13.580
And it was done, din-done, when Christ died on the cross, he rose from the dead.

01:06:13.580 --> 01:06:17.140
So to sit there and just, you know.

01:06:17.600 --> 01:06:20.880
to say that they're still God's chosen people and that they have a separate covenant.

01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:25.360
I heard that from Dr. Stringer's own mouth that they have their own covenant.

01:06:27.600 --> 01:06:31.600
when he's preaching against Justin, Brother Justin at Indy.

01:06:31.600 --> 01:06:34.800
It's like, there's even a guy in this town that preaches this stuff.

01:06:34.800 --> 01:06:37.200
It's like, but Israel has its own covenant.

01:06:37.200 --> 01:06:40.080
What covenant is that exactly?

01:06:40.080 --> 01:06:41.200
Is it for the land?

01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:44.000
You know, they just, people just love this, the land.

01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:44.800
It's a dirt ball.

01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:48.320
It's a place that has been riddled with war.

01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:50.400
It's a pile of dirt.

01:06:50.400 --> 01:06:53.200
The only reason why there's anything growing there is because...

01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:56.400
You know, they've been pumping in water to it.

01:06:56.400 --> 01:06:58.400
But other than that, that place is...

01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:02.100
The Bible says it's spiritually Sodom in Egypt.

01:07:02.100 --> 01:07:04.600
And it says that in the book of Revelation.

01:07:04.600 --> 01:07:07.200
So does that count right now too?

01:07:07.200 --> 01:07:08.900
Yes, it does.

01:07:08.900 --> 01:07:11.200
So all that end time stuff that's going to go down there,

01:07:11.200 --> 01:07:14.300
it's going to go down in a place that God calls Sodom in Egypt.

01:07:14.300 --> 01:07:15.600
Spiritually.

01:07:15.600 --> 01:07:19.100
It's not going to be a blessed place again until Jesus takes the throne.

01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:22.800
And for the thousand year reign, that's where he's going to rule and reign from.

01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:23.800
Amen.

01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:28.680
So, how are they God's chosen people if they're not even saved?

01:07:28.680 --> 01:07:31.680
Because if they don't believe in Jesus, they don't have the Father.

01:07:31.680 --> 01:07:35.400
If you don't have the Son, you don't have the Father, is what the Bible says.

01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:37.400
Romans 2 verse 28.

01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:39.800
Actually, let's go to Galatians 4.

01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:41.800
Sorry, you're already right there.

01:07:41.800 --> 01:07:44.700
Galatians 4 verse 22.

01:07:45.400 --> 01:07:47.400
Sorry, I'm going to hurry here.

01:07:47.400 --> 01:07:49.400
I'm just having too much fun.

01:07:49.400 --> 01:07:52.400
Alright, Galatians chapter 4, verse 22, it says,

01:07:52.400 --> 01:07:55.400
For it is written that Abraham had two sons,

01:07:55.400 --> 01:07:58.400
the one of the bondmaid and the other of...

01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:00.400
No, I'm... yeah.

01:08:00.400 --> 01:08:02.400
Yeah, verse 22.

01:08:02.400 --> 01:08:04.400
The other by a free woman.

01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:08.400
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh.

01:08:09.100 --> 01:08:14.540
and he of the free woman was by promise, which things are an allegory for these are the two

01:08:14.540 --> 01:08:20.780
covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, that's the law of Moses, right, which generates to bondage,

01:08:20.780 --> 01:08:27.340
which is Agar, for this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, an answer to Jerusalem, which now is and

01:08:27.340 --> 01:08:29.500
is in bondage with her children.

01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:34.720
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

01:08:34.720 --> 01:08:39.240
For it is written, Rejoice thou barren that barest not,

01:08:39.240 --> 01:08:42.000
Break forth and cry thou that travailest not,

01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:47.160
For the desolate have many more children than she which hath an husband.

01:08:47.160 --> 01:08:50.200
Now we brethren as Isaac was are the children of promise.

01:08:50.200 --> 01:08:51.200
Who is the we?

01:08:51.200 --> 01:08:52.420
Oh this is to Galatia.

01:08:52.420 --> 01:08:53.920
These are Gentile believers, right?

01:08:54.500 --> 01:09:00.700
And it says, but as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born

01:09:00.700 --> 01:09:03.780
after the Spirit, even so it is now.

01:09:03.780 --> 01:09:06.740
Nevertheless, what sayeth the scripture?

01:09:06.740 --> 01:09:11.300
Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman should not be heir with

01:09:11.300 --> 01:09:13.140
the son of the free woman.

01:09:13.140 --> 01:09:17.220
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

01:09:17.220 --> 01:09:19.340
So what is it saying?

01:09:19.340 --> 01:09:20.820
We're the actual seed of Isaac.

01:09:21.600 --> 01:09:30.600
They're not the seed of Isaac. They're the seed of Agar. They're the seed of Haggar and Abraham's other son, Ishmael.

01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:35.600
They're actually the ones that are in bondage. They're not free.

01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:40.600
And it's talking about the two different covenants. Well, one covenant I just said has already gone away.

01:09:40.600 --> 01:09:43.600
There's only one covenant left. That's the new covenant.

01:09:43.600 --> 01:09:48.600
And if you don't believe in Jesus, you're not part of that covenant. So they're castaways.

01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:53.400
They don't, they don't, I mean if they were going to keep the law, they would do sacrifices.

01:09:53.400 --> 01:09:57.360
They'd have a temple, they'd have a lease, they could still do sacrifices without a temple.

01:09:57.360 --> 01:09:59.880
They didn't need the temple to do sacrifices.

01:09:59.880 --> 01:10:00.880
But do they do it?

01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:01.880
No.

01:10:01.880 --> 01:10:02.880
What do they do?

01:10:02.880 --> 01:10:07.040
They, you know, they have a lamb leg or something on Passover.

01:10:07.040 --> 01:10:10.520
And they, you know, they do the little bitter herbs or whatever.

01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:13.080
But they don't even actually perform the Passover right.

01:10:13.080 --> 01:10:14.200
They don't kill the Passover.

01:10:14.200 --> 01:10:15.200
They don't drain the blood.

01:10:15.200 --> 01:10:17.120
They don't eat the whole lamb in one night.

01:10:17.120 --> 01:10:18.400
They don't do anything.

01:10:18.400 --> 01:10:21.840
They still eat shellfish.

01:10:21.840 --> 01:10:24.160
They're doing all the things that they're not supposed to do

01:10:24.160 --> 01:10:26.360
and calling themselves God's chosen people.

01:10:26.360 --> 01:10:28.240
And people are buying it hook, line, and sinker.

01:10:28.240 --> 01:10:30.800
And look, our church is never going to believe that.

01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:33.560
And our church rejects that idea.

01:10:33.560 --> 01:10:38.400
And Romans chapter 2, turn to Romans chapter 2 real quick.

01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:50.440
verse 28 Romans 2 verse 28 for he is not a Jew which is one outwardly neither is that circumcision

01:10:50.440 --> 01:10:56.040
which is outward in the flesh but he is a Jew which is one inwardly and circumcision is that

01:10:56.040 --> 01:11:00.920
of the heart in the spirit and not in the letter whose praise is not of men.

01:11:01.400 --> 01:11:02.400
But of God.

01:11:02.400 --> 01:11:07.560
Look, you can look, you can wear the curly locks and you can put the frontlets on there.

01:11:07.560 --> 01:11:11.680
You can wear the Abraham Lincoln stove top hat or whatever else that they do.

01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:15.880
You can do like, you can go like this or whatever, but that does not make you a Jew.

01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:20.560
You can dress like a Jew, you can talk like a Jew, you can speak Hebrew like a Jew, but

01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:24.080
if you don't have Jesus, you're not saved and you're not part of the covenant.

01:11:24.900 --> 01:11:29.900
You are one outwardly, but who's actually the Jew?

01:11:29.900 --> 01:11:32.900
We're the Jews. We're the children of Israel.

01:11:32.900 --> 01:11:36.900
Because it says, but he is a Jew which is one inwardly,

01:11:36.900 --> 01:11:42.900
and circumcision is that of the heart, and the spirit not of the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

01:11:42.900 --> 01:11:45.900
So it's not an outward thing.

01:11:45.900 --> 01:11:50.900
It's no longer some flesh and some tangible thing like that.

01:11:50.900 --> 01:11:52.500
It is a spiritual...

01:11:52.900 --> 01:11:55.780
We are spiritually Israel.

01:11:55.780 --> 01:11:59.140
And in Galatians 6 it actually says that very thing.

01:11:59.140 --> 01:12:02.180
Let me go to Galatians 6 real quick.

01:12:02.180 --> 01:12:03.540
You don't have to turn there if you don't want to.

01:12:03.540 --> 01:12:06.740
I think it's Galatians 6.

01:12:06.740 --> 01:12:09.940
Yeah, Galatians 6, 18.

01:12:09.940 --> 01:12:12.100
Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ...

01:12:12.100 --> 01:12:13.100
Oh wait, no, that's not it.

01:12:13.100 --> 01:12:14.100
Sorry.

01:12:14.100 --> 01:12:15.100
What does it say?

01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:18.800
Oh, verse 16, I'm sorry.

01:12:18.800 --> 01:12:20.800
It says, I'll just read verse 15 first.

01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:26.160
It says, for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything nor uncircumcision, but

01:12:26.160 --> 01:12:27.760
a new creature.

01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:28.760
That's the new man.

01:12:28.760 --> 01:12:35.240
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy and upon the Israel

01:12:35.240 --> 01:12:36.600
of God.

01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:38.840
So if they're not walking according to that rule...

01:12:39.200 --> 01:12:44.200
what rule that you are a new creature in Christ Jesus,

01:12:44.880 --> 01:12:49.400
you're saved, then you're not walking by that rule,

01:12:49.400 --> 01:12:52.020
then you're not a Jew.

01:12:52.020 --> 01:12:53.860
You are not the Israel of God.

01:12:53.860 --> 01:12:57.780
But the ones that do, which would be saved people,

01:12:57.780 --> 01:13:00.200
peace be upon them, peace on them,

01:13:00.200 --> 01:13:02.320
and mercy and upon the Israel of God.

01:13:02.320 --> 01:13:04.040
So we are the Israel of God.

01:13:04.040 --> 01:13:04.880
Who's he talking to?

01:13:04.880 --> 01:13:06.000
Galatians here.

01:13:06.200 --> 01:13:10.200
So you can't say that he's just talking to the Jewish believers there.

01:13:10.200 --> 01:13:12.200
Because there is no more Jew or Greek.

01:13:12.200 --> 01:13:15.200
That was very clear from Galatians chapter 3.

01:13:15.200 --> 01:13:18.200
Galatians 3 just crushes all that stuff.

01:13:18.200 --> 01:13:22.200
I mean there's just so much in Galatians that just destroys that doctrine.

01:13:22.200 --> 01:13:24.200
Ephesians chapter 2 destroys that doctrine.

01:13:24.200 --> 01:13:31.200
There's just tons of passages in the whole New Testament is basically against the Jews.

01:13:31.200 --> 01:13:33.000
I mean the whole book of Acts.

01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:36.120
People were like, oh the Romans persecuted the Christians.

01:13:36.120 --> 01:13:40.400
They did later, but the first people who were persecuting were the Jews.

01:13:40.400 --> 01:13:42.400
Who was following Paul everywhere he went?

01:13:42.400 --> 01:13:44.520
Who was trying to kill Paul when he went to the temple?

01:13:44.520 --> 01:13:46.120
Who was continuously trying?

01:13:46.120 --> 01:13:51.000
Why was he having to be led down in baskets and hiding and why was he being stoned to

01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:52.000
death and beaten up?

01:13:52.000 --> 01:13:54.960
Because the Jews were always causing people to give him problems.

01:13:55.900 --> 01:14:01.380
Because oh he ruined their their shrine god of the Ephesians or whatever we'll cover that next week

01:14:01.380 --> 01:14:04.380
But I mean look the Bible is very clear

01:14:04.700 --> 01:14:09.820
Who the children of Israel are in the New Testament and that would be us last verse

01:14:09.820 --> 01:14:11.820
I'll have you turn to him. We'll get out of here. Okay

01:14:11.860 --> 01:14:13.860
promise

01:14:14.940 --> 01:14:17.980
Luke or Matthew chapter 21 Matthew chapter 21

01:14:18.900 --> 01:14:21.300
Because Jesus tells them that they're done.

01:14:21.300 --> 01:14:26.500
And like, I still have yet to have someone actually refute this verse.

01:14:26.500 --> 01:14:29.140
I've given this verse to many different dispensationalists,

01:14:29.140 --> 01:14:32.820
many different people that believe that Israel's still God's chosen people,

01:14:32.820 --> 01:14:35.220
and they have zero answers for this verse.

01:14:35.220 --> 01:14:37.300
Because, you know why they have zero answers for this verse?

01:14:37.940 --> 01:14:42.500
Because they have, I mean, it's true. That's why.

01:14:43.060 --> 01:14:44.900
So, Matthew chapter 21.

01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:47.500
Verse number...

01:14:50.900 --> 01:14:57.340
43 therefore I say unto you the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof

01:14:58.340 --> 01:15:03.420
Who's he talking to he's talking to the Jews and whose forever shall fall on this stone shall be broken

01:15:03.420 --> 01:15:06.660
But whomsoever it shall fall it will it will ground him to powder

01:15:07.200 --> 01:15:08.600
That's what happened to their temple.

01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:10.160
That's what happened to their nation.

01:15:10.160 --> 01:15:15.120
And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake

01:15:15.120 --> 01:15:16.120
of them.

01:15:16.120 --> 01:15:17.120
Very good perception there.

01:15:17.120 --> 01:15:19.080
They're actually perceiving something for once.

01:15:19.080 --> 01:15:22.240
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude because they took

01:15:22.240 --> 01:15:23.240
him for a prophet.

01:15:23.240 --> 01:15:25.240
And they'll say, well, it's just the Pharisees.

01:15:25.240 --> 01:15:30.840
No, the whole nation rejected him when they said, his blood be upon us and upon our children.

01:15:31.500 --> 01:15:39.500
So, I mean, if there was a hot take that was the hottest take of that sermon, that's the hottest take because it is not popular.

01:15:39.500 --> 01:15:42.500
Well, it might be now, but it wasn't popular.

01:15:42.500 --> 01:15:50.500
And now I just feel like, you know, everybody knows this, but there's still a lot of people that still believe that the Jews are God's chosen people.

01:15:50.500 --> 01:15:52.500
And they're called independent fundamental Baptists.

01:15:52.500 --> 01:15:56.500
And they're called evangelicals.

01:15:56.500 --> 01:15:59.460
And I mean, they're basically just.

01:15:59.900 --> 01:16:01.900
getting these Israel these

01:16:01.900 --> 01:16:09.140
These Jews into power in our country by running for office and and then they're helping them take over our country

01:16:09.660 --> 01:16:14.360
And it's like we think that that's not happening. It is happening. It's already done happened

01:16:15.380 --> 01:16:19.120
People just don't realize it people just don't want to believe it. They don't want to admit it

01:16:19.500 --> 01:16:22.540
Because our freedoms haven't been completely taken from us.

01:16:22.540 --> 01:16:28.940
But if the Jews are the overlords, they're a majority of the Supreme Court, they're controlled

01:16:28.940 --> 01:16:34.220
by their handlers in Congress and Senate, then at what point are they going to turn

01:16:34.220 --> 01:16:35.980
against us?

01:16:35.980 --> 01:16:37.220
Or turn everything against us?

01:16:37.220 --> 01:16:38.140
They're going to do that.

01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:45.000
Whatever the little evil plan is to do that which is probably to have some other virus spread

01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:49.320
And then everybody's gonna be like I'm not I'm still going to church anyway, and then you know I don't know

01:16:49.320 --> 01:16:51.560
I don't know what's gonna happen, but at some point

01:16:51.560 --> 01:16:54.860
They're gonna turn against us, and it could just be the gospel that turns them against us who knows

01:16:55.360 --> 01:16:59.360
but at some point there's gonna be a really bad anti-christian sentiment and

01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:05.500
It's you know it's gonna get worse. It's already getting worse. You can already see the spirit

01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:12.000
moving of that direction. So anyway let's pray. Lord we thank you so much for the

01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:16.440
Bible. Lord even though some of the things seem like hot takes they're just

01:17:16.440 --> 01:17:21.420
biblical things I pray that people would take these things to heart that we would

01:17:21.420 --> 01:17:24.480
understand these things and believe them be able to teach them to other people

01:17:24.480 --> 01:17:31.100
Lord help us to apply anything in this sermon that that we need to to our lives

01:17:31.300 --> 01:17:33.300
and help us Lord through the week.

01:17:33.300 --> 01:17:35.300
I pray that you bring us back on Thursday.

01:17:35.300 --> 01:17:36.500
In Jesus' name we pray.

01:17:36.500 --> 01:17:38.500
Amen.

01:17:53.900 --> 01:17:57.340
Alright, last song, 343.

01:18:00.140 --> 01:18:02.940
343, Revive Us Again.

01:20:51.700 --> 01:20:52.700
See you soon.

01:20:52.700 --> 01:20:53.200
Close this in word of prayer.
