Would Paul Washer Be Welcome to Speak at Your Local Church

[Rippon]

Three men of God that shook up the 20th century church :A.W. Tozer (1897-1963),Rolfe Barnard (1904-1969) and Leonard Ravenhill (1907-1994).
They weren't polished; kind of rough around the edges and occasionally upset the proverbial apple cart. But they were voices I believe the Lord raised up to shake the shoulders of the church. They were of the mold of Elijah and John the Baptist to a degree. Don't be surprised if a prophet* of sorts comes in our midst in the 21st century.







* I mean the word in a broader sense.

Like all true 'prophets' Paul Washer is hated. By the professing brethren.

And? Do the unbelievers in Washer's audience not count?

Well, wouldn't that be consistent with Jesus' teaching about the narrow gate?

Washer is a Calvinist. In order for his assertion that "the majority of people in this room are likely to be in Hell 100 years from now" it would be necessary that these totally depraved unregenerate hellbound walking corpses of spiritual vapidness, those unrepentant haters of the light, lovers of darkness who do not and can not seek God, would decide using their impaired natural will to attend a multi-day seminar whose purpose is to immerse them in Biblical truths, bring them closer to Christ, and teach them how to evangelize others.

Yes, that makes perfect sense. :BangHead:

And so we began. I began in the Old Testament, the New Testament, every verse of Scripture dealing with the promises of God regarding redemption and salvation, over and over, time after time, reading John 3:16, praying for a while, crying out to God, questioning the man regarding repentance, regarding faith, regarding assurance—working till Christ be formed in him.

So instead of singing "Just as I Am" 15 times during an invitation the Calvinist reads scripture over and over again until by DOING THIS WORK Christ is formed in him.

And then finally, just exhausted that evening, there was no breakthrough; there was nothing. And I said, “Sir, let’s pray.” And we prayed.I said, “Sir, read John 3:16 again.”He said, “We have read this a million times.”I said, “I know, but it is one of the greatest promises of salvation. Read that text again.”
And I will never forget it. He had my Bible on his lap in those big mountainous hands of his and he said, “OK.” He said,“For God so loved the world, that He gave...—I’m saved. I’m saved! Brother Paul, all my sins are gone! I have eternal life! I’m saved!” I said, “How do you know?”He said, “Haven’t you ever read this verse before?”

So read a Bible verse over and over again and then through your own will declare yourself saved!

That sounded like a good and scripturally based sermon to me. God is HOLY.

Sure it did winman....He even misused eccl7:29as you do...lol he must be your hero.He has a hatred of Calvinism and calvinists...are you getting your ideas from him.

 

[Iconoclast]

He would be a perfect debate candidate for White or Mc mannon.

He could not even cut it on BB ....He was banned here......I would not even waste time with a self appointed person.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I still think the man is incredible. Love him!!! He's humble in his delivery but doesn't shrink away from the hard truth. And Lord knows we need more preachers like him calling folks to true repentance.

He and David Platt are so unassuming. But they start to preach and you quickly realize that the baby has teeth! :laugh:

in the message ....going to hell in droves Barnard quotes another evangelist saying....millions are in he'll tonight waiting for millions to follow who trusted in a false hope.

Do you know God is also a must listen to sermon.

 

[Iconoclast]

Could you please cite the part where he says "through your own effort"? Because everything I've ever heard him say about mortification is consistent with Romans 8:13, which is that we are to put to death the deeds of the flesh by the Spirit.



Could you please explain how he does this?



I'm sorry, but I have to call you out on this. You've been slandering him for several pages with not one iota of evidence.

I'm sorry to say this, but you are a liar. I'm hoping you'll repent and reconsider your behavior.

I have never heard him say any of these things claimed . Unless someone can provide any such evidence. .. The object ions do not stand

 

[Iconoclast]

Or maybe I've got exactly what the Father wants me to have, has placed me in a wonderful church where I can serve Him, and have a men's ministry partner of like mind, have an absolutely beautiful godly wife with seven great kids between us, as well as four wonderful grandkiddos, I know God uses me as He sees fit, and I actually have a life and a career outside of this board.

Anything's possible.

The blessings of God are good. We all have that to be thankful for. I think that scriptural interaction can be beneficial and when you indicate you can just sweep it all away.... I think that is a wrong path.

I've never heard him say it either. Not only that, but it would contradict other things he's said. And, as I pointed out before, if he truly believed in a works-based salvation, why would he be a part of a church called Grace Life and submit himself to a pastor (Jeff Noblitt) who is so staunchly grace-based in his preaching?

That somebody goes to a conference doesn't mean they're saved.

I was a false convert for years and yet, I'd have been the first one on the bus to that conference.

If everybody at a Christian event is already saved, then why do churches have altar calls?

Having for the Creation Festival for several years, one of my favorite things Wretched Radio does is to go to Christian rock festivals and talk to the kids. They're lucky to find one in ten who can articulate the Gospel.

You show a profound misunderstanding of Scripture and spiritual things. Yes, it does make perfect sense just as it made sense that some followed Christ and listened to His teachings, and then turned from Him and His message and went their way to Hell. See John 6. And more.

The same things happen at Bible Conferences. :wavey:

Nope, he shows a profound difference of opinion and interpretation of scripture than that of yourself. There is a profound difference in "misunderstanding" and "difference of opinion".

"The vast majority", not the few. If you look at the video where he gave this sermon there were likely 1,000 people attending. So all these totally depraved people that do not and can not seek God were doing that very thing?

No, actually, he shows a misunderstanding of scripture. Preacher4Truth already provided the correct Biblical example to explain why the poster in question is wrong.

Yes. They are doing the same thing.

There are people in church pews all over the country doing the same thing.

 

[InTheLight]

Yes. They are doing the same thing.

There are people in church pews all over the country doing the same thing.

So they're not totally depraved. They do seek God out of their own will. Interesting....

 

[preacher4truth]

Yup

No, actually, he shows a misunderstanding of scripture. Preacher4Truth already provided the correct Biblical example to explain why the poster in question is wrong.

Exactly. It's time those of such ilk put aside their opinions and get truth from Scriptures, as they base of their beliefs on their opinions. Their basis is purely subjective and a foundation of sand.

You can engage in a Christian-oriented activity and still not be saved. People do it all the time.
