Using Joseph Prince to spread the Gospel is like trying to dip a glass of pure fresh water out of the sewer. I suggest you take a long, hard look at what's floating in that glass before you drink it.

One could do a better job preaching out of a Watchtower Bible. :rolleyes:

wow..I was not aware that Joseph Prince wrote that scripture

so go ahead and kindly give us your better rendering...all 'one' of you

I guess you missed where once fallen advised us to be adults and Christian adults when we post

is your purpose to contribute or to mock?

Amen!...Actually our Father will be showing us things about the Lord's completed work for us in the ages to come. It's completed as far as God goes but He is unveiling all that Christ is to us in all the ages to come. Each new fresh revelation of Jesus will astound us.

Ephesians 2:7 (NASB)
[SUP]7 [/SUP] so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

It's completed as far as God goes but He is unveiling all that Christ is to us in all the ages to come. Each new fresh revelation of the grace of God in Jesus will astound us. The theologian Dr. Martyn LLoyd-Jones said it well.

Amen D.Martyn Lloyde Jones! And I agree with him. I stand amazed at the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and all that He has done. He said it is finished. I'm not offended! I'm amazed and thankful that Jesus wants us to know He has completed our salvation and we have but to walk it out in the Spirit by faith.

That Hymn "My Saviour's Love" comes to mind as I type this out.,

I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazerene and wonder how He could love me a sinner condemned unclean....how wonderful how marvelous and my song shall ever be., how marvelous how wonderful is my Saviors love for meeeee.

For me it was in the garden He prayed Not My will but Thine He had no tears for His own griefs But sweat drops of blood for mine.......

He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own... He bore the burden to Calvary and suffered and died a lone.....

When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall seeee. Twill be my joy through the ages To sing of His love for meeeee

Howww marvelous how wonderful and my song shall ever beee., How marvelous how wonderful is my Saviour's love for meeeeee. !!

When we know the love of Jesus we can face every thing without fear or dread. The enemy of our souls seeks to kill steal and destroy. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil. Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father and said "it is finished" so, unlike the priests who had to keep on offering sacrifices for sins, Jesus offered once for all and sat down. Amen! It is finished!!!

"In the Old Testament, the blood of bulls and goats could only “cover” sins and not take them away. (Hebrews 10:4) But the blood of Jesus is not like the blood of animals! For by one sacrifice, the eternal blood of the Son of God has forever removed your sins (Psalm 103:12) and cleansed you of all unrighteousness! (1 John 1:9) In fact, God is so satisfied with His Son’s perfect work that He says to you today, “Your sins and lawless deeds I will by no means remember!” (Hebrews 10:17) And if God does not remember them, why would He punish you for them?
Beloved, you have “redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace”. Because Jesus’ work is complete, all your sins have been completely forgiven. And complete forgiveness means that the penalties for your sins can no longer fall on you because they had already fallen on Jesus at the cross. (Isaiah 53:5)"


I am not sure why believers here have a problem with the finished work of Christ? :confused: (what is going on Lynn??) We are also told to rest IN His finished work and put our confidence IN Him and not ourselves. It is the good news of the Gospel. God so loved that He gave. We can't save ourselves and we are told to "work out" what Jesus has already worked IN us. We have been given all things we need pertaining to life and godliness. It is our job as sons to "work out" not "work for" our own salvation (what HE has given us already) we work it out in our lives as sons. He gave us love., we work it out. He gave us peace... we work it out., He gave us a sound mind... we work it out. Find out what He has given and "work it out" each day by faith.

He has given us the victory...work it out by faith. Romans 8:33-39 Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the One who justifies. Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

Who shall separate us from the LOVE of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Just as it is written;
For Thy sake we are being put to death all day long;
We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who LOVED us.

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers

nor height nor depth nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When Satan reminds us of our past...

It's time to wonder why we're listening to Satan!

We can't beat him. God has. Why waste time on him? All that does is divert our eyes from Christ! What we focus on is where we go.

Absolutely, thus my comment...I don't listen to him. He has much more to worry about than I do :).

Well, that depends on who you ask here. Some say we who believe in the grace of God IN Christ are hyper grace people. We are happy., joyful and can't help but talk about what Jesus has done for us. So to those who say we are deceived, and to their way of thinking, I guess you and I both are "deceived" as well as Grace777 and ember and a bunch of other people on CC. Times like this I am reminded to love them and keep on posting about the love of God., the grace of God in Christ Jesus is the message of reconciliation.

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. that whosoever (believes) in Him shall not perish but have ever lasting life. This is a Christians site and this is the Bible message. If some have a problem with it that is not our problem. We just talk about Him all the more. Amen!!

Here's a better rendering from "all one of me" to you.....
1. Joseph Prince changed his name just to sound like Joseph, the saving Prince of Egypt. His real name was Xenonamandar Jegahusiee Singh.

2. JP preaches Hypergrace, a known heresy.

3. JP preaches Word of Faith, a well known heresy. In his sermon "Walking in the undeserved favor of God" (3/28/04), he said: “Now I've been in the Word of Faith circle and I find that Word of Faith preachers know about favor. Churches of faith know about favor. The thing that I wish many of them would say though would be this - to use that phase - undeserved favor. Favor is good and the teaching of favor has produced tremendous testimonies but I would rather the Word of Faith preachers like myself use undeserved favor because that's the true definition of grace. Now I didn't learn amazing grace from Word of Faith though I'm a Word of Faith preacher. I had to learn that truly struggling on my own.” (Source: Jonathan Koh Thoughts on New Creation Church-and grace, faith, health and wealth).

He also mentions about fellowshipping with his dear friend Brian Houston, of Hill Song (Destined To Reign, p. 5). Houston is another word faith prosperity teacher. The Houstons -- Unmasked

4. JP doesn't preach conviction or biblical repentance.

And, BTW dearest ember, no amount of your criticism & judgement about my "all one of me" approach to expose false teachers/preachers/prophets will ever amount to Jack. You can keep right on..... the more you do, the more it shows who you are. So bring it on.:)

And so that is what this is all about? bringing it on and seeing how "right" you are and how wrong you can prove someone else is to be? Is this what Bible study is about in your eyes? I asked myself this same question when I began posting here and began getting all angry and upset when someone misrepresented me or said something wrong about me. It all started becoming about me and defending myself against others.

It all became about ME and THEM and not Jesus. So when I saw my own motivation going above and beyond the joy of sharing Christ and instead making someone "pay" with my get back at them "words"., I knew something was wrong with my approach and I was getting sucked into another demonstration of the flesh in action. The very thing I was daily learning not to do with my life as a Christian.

So I am graciously going to be careful of how I engage these types of threads from now on. I see more are being brought up and the entertainment value is high for the on lookers too. Do I want to be entertainment? Do I want to bring God's word down to consuming it upon mine and other people's lusts?
No. That is not honoring Jesus or standing up for truth. And a wonderful thing about tv or the internet and computer. There IS an OFF button. click.
