These guys are fake preachers... teaching "reformed" theology which is chocked full of error and un scriptural doctrine.
I wanted to get back with you on this, the Theocast guys.
I do disagree with them on one theological issue and agree with them on another, probably not the one you were talking about.
I studiedly disagree with 5 Point Calvinism (TULIP). But I do decidedly agree with them on Grace-vs-works/legalism, identity-adoption, Love vs fear.
Theocast guys vids "What is Pietism?" and "What is Reformed Theology?" are good, but "The Difference Between Reformed Theology and Calvinism" is not focused, they could have said the little they did in 5 mins.
It's generally unfortunate to use someone's name into an "ism" as theologians/philosophers teach lot of different things, such as John Calvin. From baby to young adult, I attended a Reformed church weekly, definitely including Catechism. Generally Reformed includes "Calvinism", but I can tell you I never heard TULIP laid out in our church. We had the Apostles Creed. I don't recall reading the official church doctrine, but if anyone believed TULIP, they kept it to themselves.
Just out of curiosity, JimmyTheLock, what's your bottom-line on TULIP? (As it's a large subject, I'm just asking bottom-line.)
I would agree with the Theocast guys that Grace vs Works is not just a doctrine but should deeply affect our daily focus and walk.
This all got started in the garden of eden... God said if they eat of that tree they shall surely die!
The devil comes along and says no, surely you won;t die.
OSAS doctrine is a trick of the devil because... he's saying the same thing, which is you can sin against God and not die spiritually which is becoming separated from Him.
The entire church system has been compromised and Jesus told us in Math 24 that in the end time many will come claiming to be Christ (claiming they are anointed of God) and will deceive many.
BTW... these guys in your video are proponents of the false doctrines of OSAS.... they are tickling people's ears!
Grace vs Works is also a voluminous subject, or the OSAS issue as you put it. Like many issues I think you come to the best understanding through an understanding of the totality of scripture on the subject, avoiding depending on scriptural snippets and instead having a hyper focus on the context of the scripture you're examining. Of course, including the Holy Spirit with a wise study of the historical arguments and traditions of the past church "fathers".
I won't get voluminous here, which is likely the only way to change some minds, but I'll rather be succinct:
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through. And this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 5:1 Therefore since we have been justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"
