If there is a forgotten doctrine in the Church today, and one that destroys evangelism, it is the doctrine of regeneration.
The conversion test isn’t a?decision card?It’s a life to live. God commands all men in the world to repent of their sins, to believe in the gospel, and to bear fruits worthy of repentance.
- You say.
- “Brother Paul.
- Do you speak of salvation by works?” absolutely not!I mean a forgotten doctrine in the Church.
Stay a little longer, I’ll close my Bible, I’m done. Wait a little longer.
If there is a forgotten doctrine in today’s Church that destroys evangelization, it is the doctrine of regeneration, regeneration is not just a human decision, you are not saved simply because you have decided to leave the path that leads to hell and enter. the path that leads to paradise. Salvation is a supernatural work of God, where the power of God manifests itself in such a way that it corresponds, or exceeds, the power of God demonstrated in the creation of the universe. The universe was created “ex nihilo” from scratch. But when God saves a man, He recreates him from a corrupt disorder. When people truly repent and truly believe, a work of regeneration is being carried out that turns these people into new creatures, and as new creatures with a new nature, they will live. a different life!
The proof of regeneration is not that you once made a decision in a campaign of evangelization. The proof of regeneration is that your life is changing. Do you think God only changes some of his children?
The doctrine that teaches that the Christian can live in a continuous carnal state is absolutely heresy. Do Christians sin? Yes, can Christians fall into the flesh?Yes, can Christians walk immaturity for a while?Yes, but can Christians live in a wicked and worldly way every day of their lives?Because? Because salvation is a supernatural work of God and if a man is in Christ, he is a new creature and the new creatures live differently.
Therefore, when I am told that there is as much sin in the Church today as there is outside of it; that there are as many divorces, pornography, lies, hatreds, fights in the Church as there are, it’s a lie!The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ today in America is beautiful, it is broken, it is confessional, it walks with it God and when she sins, it breaks her heart and turns to him His problem is: what you call the Church is not the Church. If the Church is what most people say, then all the promises of the Bible regarding the New Covenant have But God says that in the New Covenant He will create a new people and He will be his God and they will be His people, and God’s Law will be written in their hearts and they will walk there.
Isn’t the conversion test one? Decision card?It’s a life you live
One of my dear friends called an important Christian scholar of history, Dr. Dallimore, and said: ?Dr. Dallimore, I have a question. If the Puritans never made calls or what we do today, how did they know when someone was saved?Dallimore said, “It was easy, their lives were transformed and they continued to go to church. “How do we know they’re saved? They do not come to church, their lives do not change, but they are saved because they have raised their hands.
See what we’ve done, see for yourself. Look.
If you’re here tonight and you care about your soul, I’m not going to ask you to raise your hand and don’t ask you to fill out a card, but I’ll be there until six in the morning when my plane comes out, I warn you.
That’s a problem, isn’t it? A great presumption
People come to the front, sign a map, tell them for five minutes about salvation, and declare them safe. And we always wonder why we invest so much in discipline and still don’t grow. We’ve made the big presumption. We make them pass an evangelical rite, because they answered the questions correctly, we declare them safe and we no longer care, it is not true. I say this to you: if you repent and believe in Christ tonight, if you have already done so, He has saved you; but I tell you this: if you have made a decision for Christ, if you see Him as Lord and profess faith in Him, He has saved you, but if you leave here and your life does not change, you do not begin to grow and the one who began the good work in you does not finish it, what happened to You that night was not a real conversion , because the test of authentic conversion is a continuous work of God in the soul of man.
It’s the old-fashioned way. This is historical Christianity
How many of you are, how many people do you know?
Maybe you have a son who made a profession of faith at age 6, because someone asked him if he wanted to go to heaven and if he loved Jesus, of course they raise their hands. So when they reach 14. 15 years old and they start living in the world and they hate the things of God. Then you say to them: “You are a Christian, you have to act differently. ” You are wrong in this approach. You should approach them like this 😕 You have made a profession of faith in Christ, but all the evidence in your life up to this point shows that perhaps your profession of faith in Jesus Christ was false and that you are still in sin, and if you die go to hell. Try to confirm your vocation and your choice, repent and return to Christ ?.
See how shallow our Christianity has become. Oh my dear friend, these things shouldn’t be like that, but they are. Awaken the gospel, the true gospel, not this diluted gospel. It is a gospel of grace and power, for the One who has begun the Good Work in will end it.

Unpublished video of Back to the Gospel.
I would like to take advantage of this and inform everyone that the YouTube VE page has changed, on this new page I have the collaboration of Joelson Galvao and Rafael Costa Ferreira, two brothers loved in Christ and who knows others in the future. This association has already been very productive. The video above is the result, most of the work done by Brother Joelson.
