    😲 will my Jesus have you? Powerful. More intervention. Tell the TRUTH, I am not scared. I agree, find a way to welcome ALL. But we CAN NOT compromise our beliefs, standards and principles.

    Some people will listen to anything and the bible said try the spirit of the spirit to see if its of God but instead they are willing to have an open mind and heart to listen to anything. And if they did listen but instead of praying after they heard the sermon asking God is this of you they except what man is saying and moving on with no question asked and this right here is how people gets deceived by not questioning it.

    The Christ accept everyone. When one accept Christ one will deny oneself of ways that are not Christ like.

    This comment might not get heard because this panel was so long ago but the topic that you are talkin about is so confusing it sounds like you all are not really wanting to say truly what the word of God says and you are okay if you don't have the right morals you can still preach teach and do whatever, it is looks like and sounds like the panel is okay with same-sex relationships and it's okay to be gay or it's okay to not truly believe in what the word of God says about living truly for Christ this panel has truly confuse me in what the real issues are

    If my memory serves me correctly the Lord said old and new Testament... Be ye Holy for I am Holy. Follow peace with all men and holiness without no man shall see the Lord. The book of Isaiah talks about the saints being called the Holy people. The early church in the book of Act where the action of holiness began only because they obeyed God and received the Holy Ghost/ Spirit of the Living God. This is the only way we can be saved. Astounding how we make our own reigion and call it black this and white that and for this reason there is ism and sisem involved. This is why God who is Holy chose Holiness. Without it don't look to go to heaven. God help us to desire truth and live it til Jesus comes to receive His bride

    Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed.For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit after they believed. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled with the Holy Ghost and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is.We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD.We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away.Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.God told Noah exactly how to be saved, how he must build the ark. Noah didn't come up with his own plan like people are doing today. A sinner's prayer, you just have to believe, etc which is not in the bible.The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church.It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you!
  • @1real-taylor
    Conformity is an issue. Resisting your daisy dukes. Holiness is what we long for. Not compromising the word and way of God.
  • @kwesimannabintenya8448
    Is the the Pentacostal movement hungry ? is it a Food Desert can they feed themselves , how much Farm Land do your Community own ?
  • @juliekelly7156
    God help us! some of these bishops and pastors who do not honor God‘s word and want to pick and choose parts of it that they want to preach and teach. JESUS said the Gate is narrow and few will find it. Who are we to add or take anything away from God’s word Thinking that we are loving people. If we love them we will tell them the truth according to the Bible. Hell and judgement is real.
  • @1real-taylor
    Tired of the Preachers Peeping in the Church. We long for the power of GOD. Sooo on point!
  • @1real-taylor
    Yes, I agree. Jesus Christ died for the whole world. However, The world has to accept the finish work of Christ. Everyone that says Lord, Lord.......you know the rest Look it up. We must rightly divide the word of TRUTH.
  • @karenparker1005
    This panel uses so many big words that I think they're trying to pull the wool over our eyes the lady or Pastor in yellow sounds like she's for same-sex relationships and I'm sure that she is of that nature it makes me wonder about all of them on a panel what is the real intent of the conversation
