I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:00:10.57\00:00:13.58
Right here in Communist China.
00:00:13.61\00:00:16.44
Reporting from India.
00:00:16.48\00:00:18.61
Hi, I'm John Carter

I'm John Carter in Soweto.
00:00:21.58\00:00:24.12
From El Salvador.
00:00:24.15\00:00:26.49
I'm John Carter
in Sydney, Australia.
00:00:26.52\00:00:29.52
John Carter informs us about
00:00:29.56\00:00:31.43
"The Jesuits and
the True Gospel."
00:00:31.46\00:00:36.77
We give a very special welcome
00:00:36.80\00:00:38.43
to our studio
audience here today
00:00:38.47\00:00:40.87
in Southern California.
00:00:40.90\00:00:42.97
And also to our great
audience on the CW Network,
00:00:43.00\00:00:48.01
a 112 stations
00:00:48.04\00:00:49.68
across this great land
00:00:49.71\00:00:51.55
of the United States of America,
00:00:51.58\00:00:53.88
also to our
worldwide audience on 3ABN,
00:00:53.92\00:00:58.05
and other great
satellite systems.
00:00:58.09\00:00:59.89
We're glad that
you're here today.
00:00:59.92\00:01:02.19
This is really an
extraordinary subject,
00:01:02.22\00:01:06.59
"The Jesuits
00:01:06.63\00:01:08.63
and The True Gospel of Christ."
00:01:08.66\00:01:13.57
This is part
three of the series.
00:01:13.60\00:01:16.71
Four parts in this
series on the true gospel
00:01:16.74\00:01:20.71
as opposed to the
false gospel or gospels.
00:01:20.74\00:01:23.58
In a moment, we're going to go
00:01:26.65\00:01:29.08
through the
questions that you answered.
00:01:29.12\00:01:31.55
We passed these out
to the studio audience.
00:01:31.59\00:01:34.92
And in a moment,
00:01:34.96\00:01:36.29
we're going to go through those.
00:01:36.32\00:01:37.76
And see, hey, you did.
00:01:37.79\00:01:39.36
This is truly
an amazing subject.
00:01:42.40\00:01:45.57
I deal with this
subject today for this reason.
00:01:45.60\00:01:49.24
Listen carefully.
00:01:49.27\00:01:52.21
You are what you believe.
00:01:52.24\00:01:57.61
People say,
00:01:57.65\00:01:58.98
"No, you don't
believe anything you like."
00:01:59.01\00:02:00.62
Well, you can
believe anything you like.
00:02:00.65\00:02:02.98
But what you believe
makes you the person,
00:02:03.02\00:02:07.02
the man or the woman you are.
00:02:07.06\00:02:11.43
And that's why our Lord said,
00:02:11.46\00:02:12.79
you'll know the truth
00:02:12.83\00:02:14.16
and the truth
will make you free.
00:02:14.20\00:02:15.53
And so today,
00:02:15.56\00:02:17.17
we're going to look at
00:02:17.20\00:02:18.53
The Jesuits and The True Gospel,
00:02:18.57\00:02:19.90
part three of the series.
00:02:19.93\00:02:22.77
We're going to get
through your answers now.
00:02:22.80\00:02:24.44
And here is the first question
that was on this yellow sheet.
00:02:24.47\00:02:28.28
What is God's
greatest characteristic?
00:02:28.31\00:02:31.45
And, of course,
you all got this right,
00:02:31.48\00:02:32.98
didn't you?
00:02:33.01\00:02:34.35
What is God's
greatest characteristic?
00:02:34.38\00:02:35.88
We're told in the
scriptures in 1 John
00:02:35.92\00:02:39.05
that the Bible
tells us that God is love.
00:02:39.09\00:02:42.56
Everything proceeds
from this great premise
00:02:42.59\00:02:45.66
that God is good
and God is loving.
00:02:45.69\00:02:47.86
Question number
two, does God have wrath?
00:02:47.90\00:02:52.53
Now today, in many circles,
00:02:52.57\00:02:54.57
especially here in
Southern California,
00:02:54.60\00:02:57.24
where the moral influence
theory is largely predominant
00:02:57.27\00:03:01.44
among some Christians,
00:03:01.48\00:03:02.88
they say, "No, God is
a benevolent grandfather,
00:03:02.91\00:03:07.12
and God doesn't have wrath."
00:03:07.15\00:03:09.72
Of course, that
goes against everything
00:03:09.75\00:03:11.42
that is taught
in the scriptures.
00:03:11.45\00:03:13.22
If you turn to Romans 1:18,
00:03:13.25\00:03:17.43
you'll read these words.
00:03:17.46\00:03:18.96
Romans 1:18, it says,
00:03:18.99\00:03:22.86
"For the wrath of God..."
00:03:22.90\00:03:24.50
Well, that, we don't
need to go any further.
00:03:24.53\00:03:26.63
"For the wrath of God
is revealed from heaven
00:03:26.67\00:03:29.04
against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men."
00:03:29.07\00:03:32.77
So the Bible teaches, yes,
God, the loving God has wrath.
00:03:32.81\00:03:39.21
Next question.
00:03:39.25\00:03:40.58
Was Jesus a
martyr or a sacrifice?
00:03:40.62\00:03:45.65
Now the world has seen,
00:03:45.69\00:03:47.02
literally
thousands and thousands,
00:03:47.06\00:03:48.62
maybe millions of martyrs.
00:03:48.66\00:03:51.59
Jesus was not a martyr.
00:03:51.63\00:03:53.09
The Bible teaches
He was a sacrifice.
00:03:53.13\00:03:55.93
Romans 3:25,
00:03:55.96\00:03:58.13
"Whom God set forth
as a," difficult word,
00:03:58.17\00:04:01.50
"propitiation by His blood."
00:04:01.54\00:04:04.84
Lot of people say,
"Don't like that word."
00:04:04.87\00:04:07.71
Well, this word tells us
that Christ was not a martyr,
00:04:07.74\00:04:11.88
He was a sacrifice.
00:04:11.91\00:04:14.78
He was a sacrifice to
propitiate the wrath of God,
00:04:14.82\00:04:20.89
the wrath of God against sin.
00:04:20.92\00:04:24.43
That's what it
says in Romans 3:25.
00:04:24.46\00:04:28.16
Next question.
00:04:28.20\00:04:29.53
Is justification God's
act in "making" me righteous
00:04:29.56\00:04:34.04
or "declaring" me righteous?
00:04:34.07\00:04:35.97
This is the very
heart of the issue today.
00:04:36.00\00:04:39.54
Is justification God's act
00:04:39.57\00:04:43.11
in making me into
a righteous person?
00:04:43.14\00:04:45.81
Or does it
declare that John Carter,
00:04:45.85\00:04:48.42
who is an unrighteous person,
00:04:48.45\00:04:50.95
now stands in the sight of
God as completely righteous?
00:04:50.99\00:04:54.82
Romans 4:3, 5 says,
00:04:54.86\00:04:58.79
"For what does
the Scripture say?
00:04:58.83\00:05:01.03
'Abraham believed God,
00:05:01.06\00:05:03.30
and it was accounted
to him for righteousness."
00:05:03.33\00:05:07.50
But to him who does not
work but believes on Him,
00:05:07.54\00:05:11.64
who justifies the ungodly,
00:05:11.67\00:05:14.51
his faith is
accounted for righteousness."
00:05:14.54\00:05:19.08
Justification does
not make me righteous,
00:05:19.11\00:05:23.49
it declares that I am righteous.
00:05:23.52\00:05:27.82
Next question.
00:05:27.86\00:05:29.19
Must I be sinless
before I can go to heaven?
00:05:29.22\00:05:33.33
Now there are lots and
lots of very earnest people
00:05:33.36\00:05:35.93
like the Jesuits
00:05:35.96\00:05:38.13
who are perfectionists.
00:05:38.17\00:05:40.17
They believe that
before I can go to heaven,
00:05:40.20\00:05:43.37
I have to be absolutely sinless.
00:05:43.41\00:05:45.77
And that is why
our beloved friends
00:05:45.81\00:05:48.14
in the Roman Catholic Church
00:05:48.18\00:05:49.64
believe in the
doctrine of purgatory
00:05:49.68\00:05:53.05
because nobody in
this lifetime is sinless.
00:05:53.08\00:05:56.25
Now the Bible says this.
00:05:56.28\00:05:58.22
It says, here it is,
00:05:58.25\00:05:59.59
"For all have
sinned," that's the past tense,
00:05:59.62\00:06:02.42
"and fall short
of the glory of God."
00:06:02.46\00:06:05.29
When it says fall short,
it is present continuous.
00:06:05.33\00:06:10.07
It means
00:06:10.10\00:06:11.43
that we are all falling
short of the glory of God.
00:06:11.47\00:06:16.67
There are no perfect people.
00:06:16.71\00:06:20.11
There are deluded people.
00:06:20.14\00:06:22.98
There are self-righteous people.
00:06:23.01\00:06:24.88
What the Bible says,
"We've all sinned and we..."
00:06:24.91\00:06:28.25
The Greek says,
00:06:28.28\00:06:29.62
"We continue to fall
short of the glory of God."
00:06:29.65\00:06:33.99
So if only sinless
people can go to heaven,
00:06:34.02\00:06:36.86
nobody is going to go.
00:06:36.89\00:06:40.46
Next question.
00:06:40.50\00:06:41.83
Is it okay for a
Christian to be a liar,
00:06:41.86\00:06:45.13
a fornicator, a
thief or a hypocrite?
00:06:45.17\00:06:49.47
Do we believe in cheap grace?
00:06:49.50\00:06:51.97
Romans 1:29-32.
00:06:52.01\00:06:54.61
And Paul was the great exponent
of righteousness through faith.
00:06:54.64\00:06:58.68
"Being filled with
all unrighteousness,
00:06:58.71\00:07:01.85
sexual immorality, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness,
00:07:01.88\00:07:05.92
full of envy, murder,
strife, deceit, evil-mindedness,
00:07:05.95\00:07:11.03
they are whisperers,
backbiters, haters of God,
00:07:11.06\00:07:14.40
violent, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things,
00:07:14.43\00:07:18.97
disobedient to
parents," goodness me,
00:07:19.00\00:07:22.44
"undiscerning, untrustworthy,
unloving, unforgiving,
00:07:22.47\00:07:27.01
unmerciful, who,
00:07:27.04\00:07:29.04
knowing the
righteous judgment of God,"
00:07:29.08\00:07:32.71
because He has wrath,
00:07:32.75\00:07:34.78
"that those who
practice such things
00:07:34.82\00:07:38.29
are deserving of death,
00:07:38.32\00:07:39.65
not only do the same
00:07:39.69\00:07:41.32
but also approve of
those who practice them."
00:07:41.36\00:07:45.03
So the Bible says
00:07:45.06\00:07:46.39
that people who are willing
00:07:46.43\00:07:49.36
and willful sinners,
00:07:49.40\00:07:51.83
will never see
the kingdom of God.
00:07:51.87\00:07:55.20
But the Bible says,
"They are worthy of death."
00:07:55.24\00:08:00.48
These are strong words.
00:08:00.51\00:08:02.94
The Bible is not
written for superficial people.
00:08:02.98\00:08:08.05
Next question.
00:08:08.08\00:08:09.42
Can I know that I am
right with God right now?
00:08:09.45\00:08:12.85
Oh, yes, I can.
00:08:12.89\00:08:14.22
Romans 8:1, Romans 8:1,
00:08:14.26\00:08:17.39
"There is therefore now
00:08:17.43\00:08:18.76
no condemnation to those
who are in Christ Jesus."
00:08:18.79\00:08:22.40
The Bible teaches...
00:08:22.43\00:08:23.77
Listen to this, that I can know
00:08:23.80\00:08:27.10
that I'm right
with God right now,
00:08:27.14\00:08:30.57
and that I am going to
be in the kingdom of God.
00:08:30.61\00:08:34.98
Do you know what this is called?
00:08:35.01\00:08:37.91
This is called the gospel.
00:08:37.95\00:08:40.98
The gospel is not good advice,
00:08:41.02\00:08:43.49
the gospel, my
friend, is good news
00:08:43.52\00:08:46.92
that what God desires of me
00:08:46.96\00:08:51.39
for time and eternity has
already been accomplished,
00:08:51.43\00:08:54.90
for me, in Christ.
00:08:54.93\00:08:58.40
Is this statement
biblically correct?
00:08:58.43\00:09:01.30
Here it is. Have a look at it.
00:09:01.34\00:09:04.14
See what you've filled in.
00:09:04.17\00:09:06.11
"We are saved by
Christ alone, by grace alone,
00:09:06.14\00:09:10.88
through faith
plus the works of love
00:09:10.91\00:09:14.48
wrought in the
heart by the Holy Spirit?"
00:09:14.52\00:09:19.35
And if you've said,
00:09:19.39\00:09:20.72
"Yes, that's what I believe."
00:09:20.76\00:09:23.09
That is the direct
quotation from the Jesuits
00:09:26.23\00:09:30.40
in the Council of Trent.
00:09:30.43\00:09:34.60
No, no, no.
00:09:34.64\00:09:35.97
That's what I believe...
00:09:36.00\00:09:37.34
Well, my friend,
if you believe that,
00:09:37.37\00:09:40.21
you have the same theology
00:09:40.24\00:09:42.48
as the Council of Trent,
00:09:42.51\00:09:45.65
the Jesuits.
00:09:45.68\00:09:48.25
The Jesuits believed in grace,
00:09:48.28\00:09:51.22
and they believed in faith,
00:09:51.25\00:09:53.66
but they believed that
a person could not know
00:09:53.69\00:09:57.16
that he was right with God
00:09:57.19\00:09:59.16
until all the works of love
00:09:59.19\00:10:01.66
had been wrought in his heart
00:10:01.70\00:10:03.20
by the Holy Spirit.
00:10:03.23\00:10:04.97
And every Jesuit,
every Roman Catholic scholar,
00:10:05.00\00:10:07.74
you know, that
nobody is perfect,
00:10:07.77\00:10:11.54
nobody has enough love,
00:10:11.57\00:10:13.44
nobody has enough
00:10:13.48\00:10:14.81
of the Spirit
of God in his life,
00:10:14.84\00:10:16.85
am I right?
00:10:16.88\00:10:18.81
And therefore, they say,
00:10:18.85\00:10:21.18
"You've got to have purgatory
00:10:21.22\00:10:23.39
to purge the soul,"
00:10:23.42\00:10:26.29
so that at last you are sinless
00:10:26.32\00:10:29.12
and you can go into
the very presence of God.
00:10:29.16\00:10:35.03
You see that turned
justification into a process,
00:10:35.06\00:10:40.54
where day by day,
00:10:40.57\00:10:42.50
I'm getting a little bit better
00:10:42.54\00:10:45.61
and people who
believed in the Jesuits doctrine
00:10:45.64\00:10:49.54
are always checking in,
00:10:49.58\00:10:51.51
"How am I
doing?" "How am I doing?"
00:10:51.55\00:10:54.95
"Am I going to be ready
when the judgment comes?"
00:10:54.98\00:10:57.22
"I'm not ready yet,
but I'm getting ready."
00:11:00.26\00:11:06.16
And people who
believe that theology
00:11:06.19\00:11:08.76
are not only
checking in to their own huts,
00:11:08.80\00:11:12.27
they're checking
you at how you doing?
00:11:12.30\00:11:17.07
So this breeds
two types of people,
00:11:17.11\00:11:20.48
Super self-righteous people.
00:11:20.51\00:11:22.68
Look at me, I'm
doing very well indeed.
00:11:22.71\00:11:27.25
Super self-righteous people.
00:11:27.28\00:11:30.65
I hate to be a
pastor of the church
00:11:30.69\00:11:33.66
that believes that theology.
00:11:33.69\00:11:35.72
Super self-righteous people,
00:11:35.76\00:11:37.59
but it also breeds
another type of individual,
00:11:37.63\00:11:40.70
a person who is
totally depressed
00:11:40.73\00:11:43.70
because he is honest.
00:11:43.73\00:11:45.50
And I've seen
people commit suicide
00:11:45.53\00:11:48.54
because they believe
the doctrine of the Jesuits.
00:11:48.57\00:11:51.67
And they were members
00:11:54.64\00:11:58.11
of my church.
00:11:58.15\00:12:02.92
You're listening.
00:12:02.95\00:12:05.39
Martin Luther was a
Roman Catholic priest
00:12:05.42\00:12:07.32
who had a
colossal row with the pope,
00:12:07.36\00:12:10.66
whom he said was
teaching heresies.
00:12:10.69\00:12:14.63
Luther was a
founder of Protestantism,
00:12:14.66\00:12:17.73
that teaches
that people are saved
00:12:17.77\00:12:19.43
through the merits of Christ,
00:12:19.47\00:12:21.67
the merits of
Christ apart from us.
00:12:21.70\00:12:24.54
This brought
about the Great Schism.
00:12:24.57\00:12:28.68
This gave way to
the birth of freedom
00:12:28.71\00:12:32.91
and democracy around the world.
00:12:32.95\00:12:35.55
Before Martin Luther came,
00:12:35.58\00:12:37.35
the world was in
terrible darkness.
00:12:37.39\00:12:38.99
Most people
00:12:39.02\00:12:40.36
are totally
ignorant of history today.
00:12:40.39\00:12:43.09
But this paved
the way for the rise
00:12:43.12\00:12:45.29
of the United States of America.
00:12:45.33\00:12:47.06
No Martin Luther, no America.
00:12:47.10\00:12:50.60
Let me tell you today,
00:12:50.63\00:12:51.97
the difference
between classic Catholicism
00:12:52.00\00:12:55.90
and Protestantism.
00:12:55.94\00:12:58.27
It really does matter.
00:12:58.31\00:12:59.64
It just, my friend,
00:12:59.67\00:13:01.18
it just may save your
soul this meeting today.
00:13:01.21\00:13:05.81
There are good and bad
people in all churches,
00:13:05.85\00:13:08.45
and today, we're
not talking about
00:13:08.48\00:13:10.59
good people or bad
people being in churches
00:13:10.62\00:13:13.42
because in my church,
00:13:13.46\00:13:14.92
there are good and
there are bad people.
00:13:14.96\00:13:16.93
And in the great
Roman Catholic Church,
00:13:16.96\00:13:18.79
there are
millions, and millions,
00:13:18.83\00:13:20.26
and millions of saints.
00:13:20.30\00:13:22.83
So we're not
talking about people,
00:13:22.86\00:13:25.87
we're talking about truth.
00:13:25.90\00:13:28.57
And remember this,
00:13:28.60\00:13:31.47
what you believe
makes you what you are.
00:13:31.51\00:13:36.24
And if you are a colder,
00:13:36.28\00:13:39.61
critical self-righteous person,
00:13:39.65\00:13:43.72
you are the
product of bad theology.
00:13:43.75\00:13:48.06
Am I getting through to you?
00:13:48.09\00:13:50.33
Think about this.
00:13:50.36\00:13:53.93
What you believe
makes you what you are.
00:13:53.96\00:13:56.33
So the topic today,
00:13:56.36\00:13:58.03
"The Jesuits and
The True Gospel."
00:13:58.07\00:14:00.57
Now, I want you to
come to text over here
00:14:00.60\00:14:02.50
that you have seen before,
00:14:02.54\00:14:03.87
but perhaps you
have never seen at all.
00:14:03.91\00:14:05.91
Galatians 2:20, 21.
00:14:05.94\00:14:08.94
Galatians 2:20 and 21.
00:14:08.98\00:14:14.58
Turn to the texts.
00:14:14.62\00:14:16.58
And I ask you to
keep an open mind,
00:14:16.62\00:14:21.79
and to think outside the box.
00:14:21.82\00:14:24.23
There is nothing more perilous
00:14:24.26\00:14:26.39
than a closed, narrow,
00:14:26.43\00:14:29.33
bigoted religious mind.
00:14:29.36\00:14:32.23
Galatians 2:20, 21,
00:14:32.27\00:14:38.11
"I have been
crucified with Christ.
00:14:38.14\00:14:42.24
I have been
crucified with Christ,
00:14:42.28\00:14:45.88
it is no longer I who
live," hey, I must be dead,
00:14:45.91\00:14:50.02
"but Christ lives in me,
00:14:50.05\00:14:51.95
and the life which I
now live in the flesh
00:14:51.99\00:14:53.76
I live by faith
in the Son of God,
00:14:53.79\00:14:56.09
who loved me,
00:14:56.12\00:14:57.46
gave Himself for me.
00:14:57.49\00:14:59.33
I do not set
aside the grace of God,"
00:14:59.36\00:15:01.20
listen to this,
00:15:01.23\00:15:02.56
"for if righteousness
comes through the law,
00:15:02.60\00:15:04.97
through the keeping of the law,
00:15:05.00\00:15:07.37
then Christ died in vain."
00:15:07.40\00:15:09.50
Paul says this,
00:15:09.54\00:15:11.47
"If I can get to heaven
00:15:11.51\00:15:13.78
by keeping the law of
God even with God's help,
00:15:13.81\00:15:17.38
then I don't need grace."
00:15:17.41\00:15:20.38
And then he says this,
00:15:20.42\00:15:23.12
"I am crucified,
00:15:23.15\00:15:24.65
I have been
crucified with Christ."
00:15:24.69\00:15:29.92
Now what does that mean?
00:15:29.96\00:15:32.59
This is one of
the most amazing text
00:15:32.63\00:15:35.46
in the Bible
00:15:35.50\00:15:36.83
that I did not understand
for many, many, many years.
00:15:36.87\00:15:40.54
Listen.
00:15:40.57\00:15:43.00
When Christ died on the cross,
00:15:43.04\00:15:48.04
He was God
00:15:48.08\00:15:50.28
bearing His own wrath
00:15:50.31\00:15:52.95
against sin.
00:15:52.98\00:15:54.32
When He died on the cross,
00:15:57.55\00:16:01.16
legally, I died with Christ.
00:16:01.19\00:16:05.96
He died for me.
00:16:05.99\00:16:07.33
I legally died with Christ.
00:16:07.36\00:16:09.50
And if I died with
Christ in 31 A.D, 31 A.D,
00:16:12.80\00:16:17.27
if I died with Christ
on the cross in 31 A.D,
00:16:17.31\00:16:20.94
listen to me,
00:16:20.98\00:16:22.31
the law cannot
condemn a dead man.
00:16:22.34\00:16:26.45
And so there is no
condemnation to the person
00:16:29.45\00:16:31.85
who is in Christ Jesus.
00:16:31.89\00:16:36.16
But I'm not saved
by faith and works,
00:16:36.19\00:16:40.80
I'm saved by a
faith that is so dynamic
00:16:40.83\00:16:44.17
that it will work,
00:16:44.20\00:16:47.27
that I'm saved by grace alone,
00:16:47.30\00:16:50.77
through faith alone.
00:16:50.81\00:16:54.04
Let me give a little recap
on last time's presentation.
00:16:54.08\00:16:59.05
I told you about John Carter
00:16:59.08\00:17:00.52
who came to this great
land many hundreds of years ago.
00:17:00.55\00:17:05.25
And his
descendant Robert Carter,
00:17:05.29\00:17:07.82
who freed the slaves in Virginia
00:17:07.86\00:17:10.16
70 years before Lincoln,
00:17:10.19\00:17:12.89
he was indeed the
great emancipator.
00:17:12.93\00:17:18.23
And back in those days
in Virginia, in America,
00:17:18.27\00:17:21.37
he was an exceptional person,
00:17:21.40\00:17:23.30
was the descendant of
John Carter, Robert Carter
00:17:23.34\00:17:26.21
because he sought for himself,
00:17:26.24\00:17:28.34
and he sought outside the box,
00:17:28.38\00:17:30.68
he was not a dummy.
00:17:30.71\00:17:34.25
He was not a conformist.
00:17:34.28\00:17:38.02
Most people today
00:17:38.05\00:17:39.39
are stuffed in little boxes,
00:17:39.42\00:17:44.76
but he sought for himself.
00:17:44.79\00:17:48.76
He went against popular opinion.
00:17:48.80\00:17:53.84
This, of course, is dangerous.
00:17:53.87\00:17:55.44
It is dangerous to
think for yourself.
00:17:55.47\00:17:59.51
I remember the story
that was told me years ago
00:17:59.54\00:18:02.08
by an old evangelist.
00:18:02.11\00:18:05.51
He said to a person
coming to the meetings,
00:18:05.55\00:18:07.65
"What do you believe?
00:18:07.68\00:18:09.05
He said, "I believe
what my church believes."
00:18:09.08\00:18:13.19
"Oh, and what does
your church believe?"
00:18:13.22\00:18:16.02
"My church
believes what I believe."
00:18:16.06\00:18:20.23
"What does your
church and you believe?"
00:18:20.26\00:18:23.00
"We think the same."
00:18:23.03\00:18:24.37
This is the terrible
slavery of conformity.
00:18:27.70\00:18:32.27
But I believe
00:18:36.04\00:18:37.91
that we need to
be honest with God
00:18:37.95\00:18:42.25
and honest with ourselves.
00:18:42.28\00:18:44.42
God has given us the ability
00:18:44.45\00:18:48.26
with the help of the Holy Spirit
00:18:48.29\00:18:51.53
to understand the truth.
00:18:51.56\00:18:54.33
I do not need...
00:18:54.36\00:18:56.36
Pardon my saying this.
00:18:56.40\00:18:57.73
I do not need the pope.
00:18:57.77\00:19:01.34
I have the Holy Scriptures
00:19:01.37\00:19:03.44
and I have the Holy Spirit.
00:19:03.47\00:19:05.21
Come with me to
John 16:13, my friends.
00:19:05.24\00:19:10.98
John Chapter 16,
00:19:11.01\00:19:13.45
pray that God will help us all
00:19:13.48\00:19:15.28
to understand this today,
00:19:15.32\00:19:17.29
pray for a spiritual encounter.
00:19:17.32\00:19:20.19
John 16:13,
00:19:20.22\00:19:24.89
Jesus said,
00:19:24.93\00:19:26.26
"However, when He, the
Spirit of truth, has come,
00:19:26.29\00:19:30.63
He will guide
you into all truth,
00:19:30.67\00:19:34.00
for He will not
speak on His own authority,
00:19:34.04\00:19:36.81
but whatever He
hears, He will speak,
00:19:36.84\00:19:39.17
and He will tell
you things to come."
00:19:39.21\00:19:41.61
The Bible tells me,
00:19:41.64\00:19:44.71
"If a Holy Spirit
will come to a person
00:19:44.75\00:19:47.32
who's got an open
heart and an open mind,
00:19:47.35\00:19:50.99
and the Holy Spirit
will possess that person
00:19:51.02\00:19:53.86
and lead him into all truth."
00:19:53.89\00:19:56.39
So this means that
we've got to have more
00:19:56.42\00:19:59.09
than a personal experience
00:19:59.13\00:20:01.03
with the preacher, or
the pope, or the priest,
00:20:01.06\00:20:04.83
you've got to have a
personal experience with God.
00:20:04.87\00:20:09.57
Listen to this,
00:20:09.60\00:20:11.14
"The poorest person,
00:20:11.17\00:20:14.58
armed with the
Bible, with Scripture,
00:20:14.61\00:20:19.18
and the Holy Spirit
00:20:19.21\00:20:21.25
is greater than
the mightiest Pope
00:20:21.28\00:20:24.05
without
Scripture and the Spirit."
00:20:24.09\00:20:27.49
Do you hear what I'm saying?
00:20:27.52\00:20:29.62
You say, "No, I
can't believe that."
00:20:29.66\00:20:32.29
I said, "You
step out of the box."
00:20:32.33\00:20:36.50
Start to think as a
person who is called by God,
00:20:36.53\00:20:40.94
start to think
as a child of God,
00:20:40.97\00:20:44.34
and not as a slave
00:20:44.37\00:20:45.94
and as a dummy.
00:20:45.97\00:20:48.78
I refuse to be a conformist
00:20:48.81\00:20:53.05
for position, or
power, or influence.
00:20:53.08\00:20:57.72
And so a simple child of God,
00:20:57.75\00:21:00.46
armed with Holy Scripture,
00:21:00.49\00:21:03.16
and filled with the Holy Spirit
00:21:03.19\00:21:05.63
is greater than
the mightiest Pope
00:21:05.66\00:21:08.76
without that Scripture
00:21:08.80\00:21:10.67
or the Holy Spirit
00:21:10.70\00:21:12.37
said Martin Luther.
00:21:12.40\00:21:14.00
Therefore,
00:21:18.44\00:21:21.54
be a person who
thinks outside the box
00:21:21.58\00:21:24.08
and be a person
of courage and depth.
00:21:24.11\00:21:28.02
Who were the Jesuits?
00:21:28.05\00:21:30.72
They're the
smartest people in the world,
00:21:30.75\00:21:34.16
the best scholars in the world
00:21:34.19\00:21:36.73
led by Ignatius of Loyola,
00:21:36.76\00:21:39.09
the Spanish
produced some great people.
00:21:39.13\00:21:41.33
The Spanish in those
days were leading the world,
00:21:41.36\00:21:44.63
they were ruling the world
00:21:44.67\00:21:46.20
until they made a mistake
00:21:46.23\00:21:48.67
in sending the Spanish armada,
00:21:48.70\00:21:50.84
that was their end.
00:21:50.87\00:21:53.21
Ignatius came from
a little Spanish town
00:21:53.24\00:21:56.58
by the name of Loyola.
00:21:56.61\00:22:00.62
And he devised a new gospel
00:22:00.65\00:22:03.08
that most folks
believe today maybe you.
00:22:03.12\00:22:07.49
He established
the Society of Jesus,
00:22:07.52\00:22:10.03
why?
00:22:10.06\00:22:11.39
'Cause he wanted
to be like Jesus.
00:22:11.43\00:22:14.06
He was a contemporary of Luther.
00:22:14.10\00:22:16.73
He was given the great charge,
00:22:16.77\00:22:19.47
God has raised you up.
00:22:19.50\00:22:20.84
Martin Luther got his
teachings from the Bible.
00:22:20.87\00:22:24.77
Ignatius got his teachings
00:22:24.81\00:22:26.74
from dreams and visions.
00:22:26.78\00:22:31.41
And he became
00:22:31.45\00:22:32.78
the leader of this
great army called the Jesuits.
00:22:32.81\00:22:36.69
And they had one great ambition,
00:22:36.72\00:22:39.25
destroy the Protestants
00:22:39.29\00:22:41.62
and destroy the
teaching of Sola Scriptura,
00:22:41.66\00:22:46.59
Solus Christus, Sola Gratia,
00:22:46.63\00:22:49.30
and Sola Fide,
get rid of the gospel.
00:22:49.33\00:22:54.97
And they were the ones
who ran the inquisition.
00:22:55.00\00:22:57.97
You see, if you
get the wrong gospel,
00:22:58.01\00:23:02.38
the wrong gospel
00:23:02.41\00:23:04.21
will make you into a very cruel,
00:23:04.25\00:23:07.82
arbitrary, selfish,
self-righteous person.
00:23:07.85\00:23:12.55
You know what I'm talking about.
00:23:12.59\00:23:14.09
You meet people who're
so filled with religion
00:23:14.12\00:23:17.89
that if they smiled,
their faces will crack.
00:23:17.93\00:23:21.03
You met these people.
00:23:21.06\00:23:23.33
Most likely,
00:23:23.37\00:23:24.70
they have the
doctrine of the Jesuits
00:23:24.73\00:23:27.10
burning in their soul.
00:23:27.14\00:23:30.21
After Luther, they called
the great Council of Trent,
00:23:30.24\00:23:33.31
remember this?
00:23:33.34\00:23:36.11
The great Council of
Trent went on for years.
00:23:36.14\00:23:39.25
And they studied the
teachings of the reformers.
00:23:39.28\00:23:42.35
They said,
00:23:42.38\00:23:43.72
"Shall we get back to the Bible?
00:23:43.75\00:23:45.09
Shall it be Sola Scriptura?"
00:23:45.12\00:23:46.86
And in the end, they said, "No."
00:23:46.89\00:23:49.72
Scripture? Yes.
00:23:49.76\00:23:51.69
But Scripture as
defined by the church,
00:23:51.73\00:23:57.57
one Holy Church,
00:23:57.60\00:23:59.20
and you cannot be saved
00:23:59.23\00:24:01.24
unless you are a member
00:24:01.27\00:24:03.87
of the one Holy Catholic Church.
00:24:03.91\00:24:07.98
That's one of
their great doctrines.
00:24:08.01\00:24:10.18
Scripture must be
interpreted by the Holy Church.
00:24:10.21\00:24:14.38
You can't understand Scripture,
00:24:14.42\00:24:16.48
you need the pope,
00:24:16.52\00:24:17.85
you need the cardinals,
00:24:17.89\00:24:19.25
you need the church.
00:24:19.29\00:24:22.56
And then they took on
the doctrine of the gospel
00:24:22.59\00:24:25.49
as taught by the
Protestant reformers.
00:24:25.53\00:24:28.06
I know this is a
shock to the audience,
00:24:28.10\00:24:30.90
those who are
seriously interested in truth.
00:24:30.93\00:24:37.31
And they brought this out.
00:24:37.34\00:24:39.24
"That we are
saved by Christ alone,
00:24:39.27\00:24:43.14
through grace alone,
00:24:43.18\00:24:45.91
by faith, plus the works of love
00:24:45.95\00:24:49.72
wrought in the
heart by the Holy Spirit."
00:24:49.75\00:24:53.15
People say,
"That's what I believe.
00:24:53.19\00:24:55.02
I believe this, I believe this."
00:24:55.06\00:24:57.09
But Martin Luther taught this,
00:24:57.13\00:24:58.89
going to put
this up on this side.
00:24:58.93\00:25:01.23
"By Christ alone,
by Scripture alone,
00:25:01.26\00:25:04.83
by grace alone, by faith alone."
00:25:04.87\00:25:07.64
And you say, "I'm confused,
I can't see any difference."
00:25:07.67\00:25:10.54
Or maybe you've been believing
Jesuit theology for too long.
00:25:13.54\00:25:20.02
Look at this,
00:25:20.05\00:25:21.38
"Faith, plus the works of love
00:25:21.42\00:25:23.59
wrought in the
heart by the Holy Spirit."
00:25:23.62\00:25:26.92
When do I ever
have enough of them?
00:25:26.96\00:25:31.16
Never.
00:25:31.19\00:25:32.53
That's why this
purgatory, you see.
00:25:32.56\00:25:36.46
And I know people,
00:25:36.50\00:25:38.23
"Yeah, I'm right with God,
00:25:38.27\00:25:40.00
I think I am, but
I'm not good enough yet."
00:25:40.04\00:25:44.77
And when I'm good enough
00:25:44.81\00:25:46.68
and I'm sinless,
00:25:46.71\00:25:49.84
are we saved.
00:25:49.88\00:25:52.31

00:26:31.65\00:26:35.39
"This could prove to be
one of the most important books
00:26:35.42\00:26:37.69
ever written
about public evangelism.
00:26:37.73\00:26:39.96

00:26:40.00\00:26:43.93
"I believe this book

Greater Manila is
more than 20 million souls.
00:27:18.23\00:27:21.70
Almost all these
beautiful people are ignorant
00:27:21.74\00:27:24.31
of the true Gospel of Christ.
00:27:24.34\00:27:26.44
Manila needs Jesus.
00:27:26.47\00:27:28.51
Thirty five years ago,
00:27:28.54\00:27:30.11
John Carter came to Manila.
00:27:30.15\00:27:32.08
Pastor Carter is
returning to Manila
00:27:32.11\00:27:34.25
with an urgent assignment,
00:27:34.28\00:27:35.88
preach the Gospel of Christ
00:27:35.92\00:27:37.65
and the great
truths of the Bible.
00:27:37.69\00:27:39.89
Don't water down the message.
00:27:39.92\00:27:41.89
Make it plain, make it clear,
00:27:41.92\00:27:44.03
make it Christ centered.
