PLEASE VOTE: if you agree that the way to be permanently saved is to ONCE BELIEVE Christ paid for all your sins, please make a comment to that effect in this video. If you do not agree and wish to say so, please make your comment to a different video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwF7PIuzR6QDisagreement is being separated from this video because this video is about saving lives. (The other video is to stimulate debate.) If you don\'t obey this rule of separation then I will remove your comment from here, and instead post it in the other video.\n\nThis is a life-and-death matter for people, so if you\'re in the mood to be nasty and thus comment, your comment will be removed. Feel free to be nasty in my other videos, but NOT here. People need to think over the importance of their eternal future, that\'s why this video is so simple.\n\nHere\'s why. Too few \"Christians\" even say the Gospel correctly anymore, though John 3:16 is clear enough in translation. It\'s appalling. Most pastors, evangelists, and Christian websites, Youtube videos and chatrooms don\'t get the Gospel right. So who is saved?\n\nA generation ago -- and you can tell, by the J. Vernon McGee radio series -- it was common knowledge that you only had to believe in Christ to be saved. Not so common, now. So this video is designed to register those who still know that it\'s ONLY BELIEVE to be permanently saved, so that folks SEEKING that information can find the right people, and right here.\n\nBELIEVE ONCE that Christ paid for all your sins, and you are FOREVER saved. Video goes through why that\'s true. It begins with my giving John 3:16 in Spanish -- which I\'ve not spoken in years, so please forgive the pronunciation -- and then launches into the Greek of John 3:16, to show you how the TEXT ITSELF says salvation is eternally secure, in the Lord\'s Own Words (all the Bible is from God, but I selected John 3:16 for the red-letter Christians, so even they can\'t dispute this). Much more information on Gospel issues which you can\'t find elsewhere on the internet, is in http://www.geocities.com/brainout1/index.html . Just look for the blue boxes on the page, and click the links (if any) inside them.The video\'s Greek-geek stuff in John 3:16 is not hard to understand if you use 1John 1:9 as needed; and is very important. Very simple tense-matching rule in Greek grammar shows you that salvation is eternally secure. Of course, this same information is obtainable in hundreds of other Bible verses, but this one makes a good example.\n\nCHRIST IS COMPETENT. So it\'s All Cross, or No Cross. The Lord would never permit anything less. Lambs eat and die, they never work. Goats, work. So it\'s time to separate the sheep from the goats. Guess which ones get saved. So all those Matt7:21 \"Lord,Lord\" Christians who did some OTHER verb in addition to or instead of \"believe\", might not be saved! Which one are you?\n\n100% of the doctrinal disputes in Christendom would be resolved if everyone just paid better attention to what God\'s Inspired Word says. And He inspired, the writers; in whatever ORIGINAL language they wrote, that\'s the only inspired text. For inspiration goes to a person; translators cannot possibly translate as well as the original. So it\'s like you are in the same timezone, as the writer. You are THERE, jack. And with the Holy Spirit\'s Power, you can learn to read those original words super-fast. And see God much more quickly, much more deeply. Now you know why God commanded teachers. It speeds the process, makes it more systematic (so you don\'t pull verses out of context), etc.\n\nParting Shot to Atheists: Youtuber philos71 is right. You guys engage inlogical fallacies all over the place. And the biggest one, is that you won\'t read Bible deeply. If you did, you\'d KNOW GOD. For Bible itself is really His Word, and all us Christians know that. THAT is why we believe. God\'s Own Thinking is Evident in that Book, especially in the original-language texts which IN AGGREGATE are inerrant, infallible, provably Divine Genius-True. That\'s why it\'s in writing, so we don\'t have to rely on hallucinations, dreams, visions and all the claptrap of false spirituality. I testify to all that on pain of death, gladly. So will many others. We SEE it. Sobelieve Christ paid for your sins, get saved, then go back to being an atheist again. See you in heaven...
