Kenneth Copeland How to Know You Are Forgiven by God

Who is John Piper? John Piper (born in Jan 1946) is a Calvinist and was the "pastor" at Bethlehem Baptist Church building in Minneapolis, Minnesota for 33 years. In reality John Piper is a grace changer, a license for sin charmer and a dangerous ear-tickling heretic. As a typical eternal security teacher, who knows how to candy-glaze the security-in-sin gospel unashamedly, link that to grace in his own mind and present a mythical god he remains influential and well received. Every bit Peter taught well-nigh such teachers who target new converts , John Piper addresses Mara, a new convert (below)! It'southward just like Peter wrote 2,000 years ago about the John Piper type!

These men are springs without water and mists driven past a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, exhibitionistic words and, by highly-seasoned to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who alive in error. (2 Pet 2:17,xviii)

John Piper's Message To a New Catechumen!

Only escaping from those who live in error (ii Pet. 2:18) refers to new converts. John Piper tells Mara well-nigh his mythical god of eternal security and distorts saving faith. Piper said:

"Don't ever start counting your good deeds to encounter if you have enough of them to make God take you. That's not the way He accepts you. That's what the devil wants you to do, is to relate to God like that." He explained, "You are saved, Mara. That is, y'all're forgiven for all the bad things you lot accept done and volition e'er practise; you are accepted by God equally His child; you are given eternal life by faith in Jesus not by doing adept things or being a expert girl. That's so crucial."

God in His sovereignty , Piper clarified, will maintain believers' relationship with Him. "God keeps you from unbelief; God holds you in his hand." Referring to a Bible passage that proclaims that God knows His followers and no 1 tin can snatch them away from Him, Piper urged, "Be confident that God will keep yous, God volition make your human relationship good."

Observation From John Piper'south Snare To Mara

• How can John Piper say Mara is saved, since Piper is a Calvinist and Calvinists believe election is secret, that is, you can't tell the wheat from tares ! In lite of that dogma in Calvinism, John Piper can Not clinch her, "You are saved, Mara." Maybe, Mara is just a faux convert! John Piper is not consistent with his ain doctrine, merely none of his supporters seem to notice or care!
• John Piper also taught this new convert in so many words: her future sins are already forgiven before they are committed; minimizes "being a good girl" and assures her the sovereign God volition maintain her good human relationship with him, that is, one time saved always saved ! If that was true there would exist no spiritual fatalities! However, the deplorable truth is, at that place have been many apostates. When analyzed, John Piper's words are empty (encounter Eph. 5:6), dangerous and designed to entice new converts into thinking eternal salvation is theirs without obedience, in bold contrast to Scripture:

[Hebrews five:9 is the But passage which has the words eternal conservancy in information technology.]

And, one time fabricated perfect, he [Jesus] became the source of eternal conservancy for all who OBEY him (Heb 5:ix)

who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to practice what is good. (Titus 2:14)

John Piper opposes the obedience of Hebrews five:nine as y'all just read, but thinks he teaches Biblical grace. Later Piper is finished with Mara, if she made the mistake of believing what he said, she won't be eager to practice what is good (Titus ii:14) and surely won't fear the lethal effects of sin! She as well won't be belongings on to what she has and will, consequently, lose her crown (Rev. 3:11)! That is just a small part of the problem with John Piper's poisonous teachings. John Piper must besides oppose other salvation related passages, for his Reformed theology won't allow them. Here are a few:

The i who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.  Let u.s.a. not become weary in doing good, for at the proper fourth dimension nosotros will reap a harvest if nosotros do not requite up. (Gal vi:eight,nine)

Past this gospel you are saved, IF You lot HOLD FIRMLY to the give-and-take I preached to you. OTHERWISE, YOU HAVE BELIEVED IN VAIN. (one Cor fifteen:2)

You will say then, "Branches were cleaved off and so that I could be grafted in." Granted. Merely they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand up by faith. Exercise not be arrogant, only be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, HE Volition Not SPARE Yous EITHER. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, only kindness to yous, provided that you continue in his kindness. OTHERWISE, YOU ALSO WILL BE CUT OFF. (Rom eleven:19-22)

If you honey a prevarication and a false hope of salvation, don't worry — people like John Piper aren't going away. They have been here since the days of Jude (vs. 3,4) and since truth rejecters desire doctrinal mythology (2 Tim. four:3,4 cf. Isa. thirty:10,eleven), teachers like John Piper volition sadly accommodate them to their own spiritual harm (and his as well)! Unlike John Piper, Paul'south grace message taught a definite serious spiritual danger regarding the illusion that Christians are standing firm, the very goal of John Piper's message to Mara:

So, if yous think you are standing firm, be careful that you lot don't fall! (1 Cor ten:12)

John Piper wants us to believe something totally unlike, which Christians should hate:

"God keeps you from unbelief; God holds yous in his hand." … "Be confident that God will keep y'all, God will brand your human relationship good." (ibid.)

Dear reader, it's your choice to believe John Piper's teachings — skewed to conform to eternal security —  or the New Testament message in its context. Your choice will make up one's mind how yous live and how you live will impact your eternity! [Mara, if by chance yous read this, turn down John Piper's advice and believe this information for new Christians instead. It is a misnomer to call John Piper, or any Calvinist, a theologian.]
