McMahon. I’m Gary Carmichael. We’re glad you could join us. In today’s program, Tom welcomes Matt Ferguson, youth pastor at Calvary Chapel here in Bend, Oregon. Now, along with his guest, here’s TBC executive director, Tom McMahon. Tom: Thanks, Gary. On our program today, I’ll be having a conversation with Matt Ferguson, and we’ll be discussing a religious cult that most people are aware of because they—well, they seem to show up at everyone’s door. And some weeks ago we addressed the followers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, who take the same approach in trying to attract converts, but this week and next week we’ll be talking about Jehovah’s Witnesses.

And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? MARK 5:22-24 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. MARK 5:39-42 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. MARK 7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. MARK 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; MARK 9:21-22 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. MARK 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. GALATIANS 5:24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. EPHESIANS 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation [conduct] the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; COLOSSIANS 3:3-5 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, [depraved and vile passions] evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3-7 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, [unlawful sexual pleasure] even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud [seduce] his brother in any [such sexual] matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 1 TIMOTHY 1:9-10 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, or fornicators, for sodomites [homosexuals], for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 1 TIMOTHY 5:1-2 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 1 TIMOTHY 6:9-10 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

More about salvation: https://www.thebereancall.org/topic/salvation Tom: In our ongoing discussion in this segment called Understanding the Scriptures, we’ve been looking at the doctrine of salvation. One of the things I want to talk about today, or that we might discuss is the plan of salvation. Some people say, well you know you just have to give your heart to Jesus. You just have to turn your life over to him. You have to seek him. And certainly there’s some truth to that. But it’s not exactly what we’re to do, is it? Isn’t it God’s plan of salvation? Doesn’t it have content? Isn’t there a point where we in fact are saved? Dave: Well, Paul tells us in Romans 1:16, “The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.” I am supposed to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. He tells us what the gospel is in 1 Corinthians 15. How that Christ died for your sins according to the scriptures. If it wasn’t in fulfillment of the scriptures it wouldn’t be right. How that Christ died for your sins according to the scriptures, he was buried and he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. When he was asked by the Philippian jailer, “What must I do to be saved?” He simply said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Now a person in believing on Christ, they are trusting themselves to him for eternity and they may have a sense of submitting to him, turning their life over to him, because they are putting themselves in his hands for eternity. 0629 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLKDEDYbhDA
