David J. Stewarts private interpretation of another. not the other opinion (heresy)
โFor there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.โ โJude 1:4
John and Chuck Swindoll that followed each other on radio. (60's 70's )Put me to sleep many a night as a new believer .
We should be careful how we hear as we are given ears to hear His understanding..
Pastor John MacArthur offering of the redeeming power of the the spiritual unseen work of Jesus Christ. Christ's (the father and the Sons) work of faith . Which the Son of man, Jesus says of his own corrupted flesh ; it alone (by itself) profits for nothing." No unseen father. no unseen Son. Jesus the prophet apostles sent by the father did his will and not the will of the flesh .
MacArthur also teaches a form of a works based salvation. Based of Christ's work of faith that works in us demonstrated by a three day labor the love of him
and the father.
Not of a dead faith we could offer towards him (Hebrew 6: dead works, and of faith toward God), And to no surprise, as a Calvinist, MacArthur teaches that a lost sinner cannot be saved unless God first chooses him or her as the
many that the father gives to the Son ...Not one more or less.
Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
