False Christian teachings, trends….
This post contains comments from Albert Barnes and John Calvin on Philippians 3:10 – “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” It opens with that verse from 5 different Bible translations, as it is good to look to different translations when one is seeking understanding of a given verse; those readers who did not know that see the benefit of doing so.
This post uses the commentary of Albert Barnes to consider Philippians 3:9 “and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith.” This topic is foundational to the Christian life, Romans and Galatians are about it. From my own struggles, and writing about the false teachings that pervade the 21st century church, I am certain that most Christians do not understand this doctrine sufficiently well, such that they are certainly relying only on the imputed righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. If you cannot say with certainty that you do, then take a few moments and get some helpful insight.
The two verses considered in this post are important to understand for encouragement and motivation. I believe that and have been reading through Philippians recently for help on the battle front of my own personal spiritual warfare. If you’re flagging in your own spiritual warfare, his words may also be of help to you.
In the 27-minute Mp3 sermon of this post, Pastor Ramsey discusses Pentecost in terms of all the other one-time, unrepeatable events that preceded it; that is, it is the fulfillment of Old Testament promises and prophecies. In the process, he helps listeners see links between Old Testament prophecies and New Testament events. These are explained mostly via events and teaching from the book of Acts. [Highlights points of sermon are provided for those who would rather read]

This month, the Gendron’s Newsletter focus is on the various aspects of bondage from spiritual deception. Anyone who has studied the Bible, especially the New Testament epistles of Romans and Galatians, knows that the Roman Catholic gospel is NOT biblical. It therefore does not save. Those who believe that it does, or follow the RCC blindly, are in the bondage of deception; read this post to get some specifics on how that is so. ALSO, Mike’s Letters To Equip the Saints, has 4 very important letters and responses. Additionally, THIS POST CONTAINS a link to the testimony of another former Roman Catholic who discusses his conversion and what the false doctrine of the RCC has in common with 4 other false reilgions.
