The more you become aware of who and what you are in Christ Jesus the more you will mature spiritually and the more you mature spiritually the more you will walk as Jesus walked doing the very same works that Jesus did and even greater works. Until you see those works in your life and Ministry you're not maturing spiritually but remaining a child of God and not growing up into your sonship, that's the litmus test that is greatly lacking in the overall True Church, the New Creation, the true Body of Christ.

 you missed the whole point regarding the Temptation in the wilderness, Jesus as the last Adam went into the wilderness to be tempted by the serpent in the same way that Adam and Eve was tempted and this time he came out Victorious because he stood on the Word of God unlike Adam and Eve who went with the word of the serpent and if you read in Colossians it says that everything on this Earth has been reconciled back to God meaning everything belongs to God on this Earth meaning the wealth and everything that man has made from that wealth which was given to mankind back in the garden before the fall which was then transferred over to the god of this world which is clearly written in Luke 4:6 I believe, the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous because it belongs to God but it's in the wrong hands at this time.

 when the Apostle Paul referred to himself as the chief of sinners he was talking about before he met the Lord on the road at Damascus, how can you call yourself the chief of sinners when he's addressing most of his Epistles to the Saints or holy ones in the Greek and had more revelation of who and what we were in Christ more than any of the other apostles, and he even admitted almost bragging about it that he had prayed in tongues more and labored more than all the apostles together because he had not taken God's grace in vain. And the Apostle Paul is the one also who wrote 1st Corinthians 3: 10 to 15 which is incredibly interesting regarding the Judgment seat of Christ having laid the foundation and making sure that we need to build upon that foundation right and then he goes into talking about those who would lose rewards having Works burned up meaning their Works did not line up with the works that God had planned beforehand according to Ephesians 2:10 and Jesus talked about doing the same works and greater Works that would glorify the father, just my opinion I guess but this is what I teach because this is what He has taught me over the years and it has changed my walk with God, shalom

 Our provision is based upon our sonship as it was back in the garden before the fall of Man God had provided everything that Adam could ever possibly need which was also for Mankind

 The Word of God commands us to meditate on His Word day and night so that we will stop meditating on our circumstances.

 The bottom line is this: Calvinism is nothing but lies and so is cessationism, but unfortunately like I mentioned in the comment there are many lies within my own camp which is the charismatic camp as well as the word of faith camp as well as the New Apostolic Reformation camp, no matter who or what it is, when I see a spade I call it a spade, this is what free speech is all about as well as social media but more importantly it's part of my high calling in Christ, I wish it wasn't this way but it is what it is, the Lord is coming back for a spotless and blameless Church and we are far from that at this time, shalom

 Even though I wholeheartedly endorse women pastors preachers whatever it is in the ministry if they are truly fit to be and do so alongside men of course, if I had to choose between the Baptist theology and the liberal Theology and Progressive Christianity I would instantly choose Baptist theology any day. At least they believe in the need to be born again regarding the new birth, they believe in heaven and hell, overall they have a very good Doctrine when it comes to soteriology unlike liberal Theology and Progressive Christianity which is marred with false Doctrine and heresies.

 We have far too many Christians who are waiting for a "move of God" but God is waiting on us to believe so that He can move.

 Unlimited Atonement means unlimited salvation, unlimited healing and unlimited provision for those who believe. God is the Limitless One.

 One of the key problems with atheists is that they don't understand 2 Corinthians 4:4, and I understand all of this because we're all born atheists until we're born again which is what happened to me in 1994 where and when I experienced the conviction of sin John 16:8-9 after my beautiful mother who's with the Lord now had prayed for me for 16 years, and that changed everything for me, like it says in Colossians 1:13, I experience being delivered out of the Dominion of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of his Light

 Preachers who claim we are worthless even once saved have no clue who and what they are in Christ if they are in Christ, the moment we are born again, the moment our spirit has been regenerated is the moment we receive a new nature which is the very same nature that Jesus was born with which is a divine nature or a nature of sonship, sons of God, holy, blameless, Beyond reproach, the righteousness of God in our Union with Christ the second Adam, I could go on and on and on but I won't bore you, if you ever took the time to meditate on these great truths or realities call New Creation realities you would be preaching and teaching the true gospel and not a false gospel. Shalom.

 After I got born again in 1994 the first thing the Lord began to teach me out of the word was out of the Epistles especially when it comes to the Judgment seat of Christ and the Great White Throne judgment which is all in the Epistles and then he began to teach me about in Christ realities or New Creation realities which are all in Paul's Epistles as well as the other pistols of course but Paul had more revelation on the great theme of in Christ and what it is to be in our Union with Christ the second Adam once you are born of Incorruptible seed, and then later on the Lord brought me to the four gospels regarding Supernatural healings and deliverances which is a big part of our ministry as an apostle to the Nations

 In leaving out Paul you are leaving out the true Jesus but will be embracing another Jesus which the Apostle Paul warned us about, fair warning

 The greatest testimony you can give to words the atheist is a changed life as it is clearly seen in Colossians 1:13 when we are delivered from the Dominion of Darkness and transferred into Kingdom of his light, delivered from all kinds of bad habits, delivered from all kinds of sin, and so forth, I'm not saying what you said is not true but I know a lot of atheists who are in severely bad accidents and they survived so called miraculously but I doubt very much that God was in it, newness of life is the greatest testimony But ultimately only the Holy Spirit can convince anyone of God's existence through John 16:8-9 the conviction of sin which is how I was born again

 Yes you're right and what you're saying absolutely because the person that was crucified on that cross was not God the Word because we know God the Word was made to be flesh or Man John 1:14, and we know Paul talks about Jesus being the second / last Adam, 1 Corinthians 15, but also interesting not only was he our substitute meaning he took our place on that cross but the word also says that we were crucified with him, died with him, buried with him, raised with him and seated with him at the right hand of majesty. Jesus was made to be sin with our sin and some say that Jesus became a sinner at the cross but that's wrong because he never sinned to begin with, it's something that the church really needs to get a hold of because there's a practical side to this in order to walk out this great reality regarding the cross and everything that took place at the cross in order to make available the new birth, the new creation / Man Ephesians 2:15, so that we can walk as Jesus walked as sons of God, doing the same works that he did by the Spirit Acts 10:38 and even greater works. Shalom

 Speaking the truth is now called hateful or hate speech, well you just wait until you face God in the great white Throne judgment and see how that turns out for you

 The moment I was gloriously saved and born again in 1994 I had works and fruit oozing out of me, it was beyond me, I could not believe what I had experienced which started with the conviction of sin John 16:8-9, I saw I saw things in my life that I had been in bondage to for 15 16 years and all these things suddenly disappeared and I'm not exaggerating, later on I realized that I had experienced not only the new birth but a degree of Deliverance and I've never went to my vomit in the last 32 years. Thank you Jesus.

 Not only do we need Him as Savior, we need Him as Lord if we are going to accomplish anything worthwhile or tangible for His Kingdom before His glorious return.

 I'm genuinely passionate about Jesus from the very moment I met him 32 years ago in 1994 but I certainly don't have to act flaky and like a fruitcake like most of them, the real fruit when it comes to genuinely being passionate about Jesus is getting people saved, getting people healed and delivered by the Holy Spirit.

 Teaching on the need to tithe and give offerings in order to have your needs met it's called slavery not sonship, your provision is based upon your sonship and not your works of giving, it's called Grace, Grace for salvation, grace for healing and Grace for provision

 The Charismatic WOF NAR Camps need much Reformation which is why we should never throw out the baby with the bathwater like the cessationists have done

 Local churches are not to be governed by a single pastor but by Ephesians 4:11 regarding a plurality of leaders of different giftings in order to see verse 12 and so forth come to fruition. There's no such thing as pastoral churches but Apostolic churches.

 Nothing wrong with spiritual success, Jesus walked in spiritual success all the time and we are to imitate him doing the same works that he did and greater works as his body upon this earth by the same Spirit

 Jesus never preached a social gospel but a Gospel of Heaven that would transform you from being a sinner into a Saint if you received Him as your Savior and Lord.

 It is God's perfect will for all of Mankind to be saved in reality and not just positionally since it was never His will for Mankind to fall to begin with.

 Some say that God is the invention of Man but in reality Man is the invention of God.

 Actually that's wrong because once we are regenerated in our spirit we do receive his Holiness and righteousness in that new nature but then the process of sanctification begins in the soul and this process of sanctification is Progressive depending upon the individual and how much he gives himself over to that process of sanctification or being set apart from this world and the things that this world. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus in our recreated spirit but not in our soul since we are spirit, soul and body.

 I just discovered the middle voice a few years ago and it changed everything even with the hardening of Pharaoh's heart I believe is in the middle voice meaning he hardened his own heart and God allows what we allow so God allowed pharaoh to harden his own heart even though he did not want him to harden his heart, easy peasy

 ONCE YOU EXPERIENCE THE CONVICTION OF SIN WHICH LEADS TO BEING BORN AGAIN, YOU WILL FINALY KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD WILL SET YOU FREE FROM FALSE TEACHERS AND HERETICS OUT THERE DECEIVING THE MULTITUDES

 The real world God had in mind for Man was back in the Garden before the Fall called Original Creation where there's no sin, no sickness, no corruption, no evil etc. but all good, but now he's given Man a second chance with a second Adam and the last chance with the last Adam called the New Creation. In other words it was never God's will for Man to fall to begin with.

 if you're truly born again you have no idea of your new identity in Christ, I drank alcohol getting drunk four nights a week, addicted to all kinds of drugs and girls and rock and roll, you name it I did it and the moment I got born again all of those things left my life and that was 32 years ago including the cigarettes including the fornication just to name a few, it's called the new birth it's called being born again it's called being a new creation in Christ Jesus the second Adam. It's called being born of incorruptible seed, maybe you should look it up in the Bible

 Those who claim to walk with Jesus would have the very same works that Jesus had and even greater works so before you go bragging about your walk with Jesus you need to take a good look at your works to see if they line up with His Works in the Four Gospels, and if they don't then you're not walking with Jesus or you may be walking with a different Jesus.

 God has already forgiven everybody, now it's up to us to hear about it which is the good news and to receive it by believing it and once you receive it by believing it you will be born again but if you don't receive it by not believing it you will not receive that forgiveness of sins because you were forgiven positionally, and in order for that forgiveness to be efficacious or effective or a reality in your life you need to believe and a part of believing is a change of mind or repentance or in other words in the Greek metanoia.

 Some people say it's demonic but I lived for the devil for 31 years and I never spoken those gibberish tongues as they say, but not too long after I was born again gloriously radically saved, I received the baptism of the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues in my bedroom while waiting on the Lord spending time with him and I had not even been saved one year, I know people have been saved for 30 to 40 years and they don't have the time of the day to spend time with the Lord, shame on them

 God allows what we allow, get that straight, God tells us what to believe and not believe God tells us what to do and not do but he won't believe it nor do it for us, and even warns us of consequences.

 Reformed theology is one of the worst theological systems you could ever choose to adopt to your walk with God, it's marred with skewed interpretations of the Word of God

 Grace made available the New Creation and walking as Jesus walked.

 32 years being born again, 5000 books in my theological Library, 40 binders 4 in thick all theological dissertations, articles and reviews, 30 binders 4 in thick of personal notes and research and study based upon Hebrew and Greek in many instances, two YouTube channels French and English, 7 Facebook groups French and English, all theology, Apostolic International missionary, defender of the faith and reformer. Just to give you a heads up, I've not only studied and researched in depth reformed Theology and Calvinism and cessationism but also within my own camps such as Charismatic, Word of Faith and New Apostolic Reformation and all of their falls doctrines and subtle heresies, including liberal theology, Progressive Christianity, Jehovah's witnesses, Mormonism and everything in between, if you get your Foundation wrong which is Genesis chapter 1 to chapter 3 regarding original creation and the fall of Man you'll get the rest of the Bible wrong. And then of course we have a secondary foundation regarding the new creation which is what Paul is referring to in 1st Corinthians chapter 3 starting with verse 10 which leads right into verses 13 to 15., and this is just for starters. Shalom

 The heretical doctrine of predestination espoused by Calvinists, Cessationists and Reformed Theology has led millions into Hell and eventually into the Great White Throne Judgment and then the Lake of Fire

 Actually that's wrong because once we are regenerated in our spirit we do receive his Holiness and righteousness in that new nature but then the process of sanctification begins in the soul and this process of sanctification is Progressive depending upon the individual and how much he gives himself over to that process of sanctification or being set apart from this world and the things that this world. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus in our recreated spirit but not in our soul since we are spirit, soul and body

  Some people say it's demonic but I lived for the devil for 31 years and I never spoken those gibberish tongues as they say, but not too long after I was born again gloriously radically saved, I received the baptism of the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues in my bedroom while waiting on the Lord spending time with him and I had not even been saved one year, I know people have been saved for 30 to 40 years and they don't have the time of the day to spend time with the Lord, shame on them.

 those verses must be kept in their context and interpreted by the Holy Spirit. Do you actually believe and think that the Holy Spirit is restricted to the male gender to get his works done which is found in Ephesians 4:11 and 1st Corinthians 12:28? Jesus did everything by the Spirit acts 10:38, and he is the head of the church his body and his body the church is made up of males and females to get his work done by The same Spirit that he got the work done

 I've always believed in the love of God as well as the Holiness of God, the grace of God, the justice of God, the wrath of God, but the one thing I don't believe in is the way they teach God's sovereignty regarding God having ordained some to be saved and some to be damned or God having ordained Lucifer to fall and having ordained Adam to fall and sin so that he can bring about A Plan of Redemption

 When it comes to suffering and Mankind maybe you should point the finger at yourself before you point the finger at God and even point the finger at the god of this world the devil, if you don't understand the Fall of Man you don't understand the Bible therefore you have no business teaching the Bible whatsoever

 There's nothing wrong with wealth because look back in the Garden of Eden, but it's how you get it and what you do with it, that's what matters

 Nobody gets away with anything with God, that's why we have two judgments, the great white Throne judgment for those who are not born again and the Judgment seat of Christ for those who are born again.

 Jesus certainly believes in hell because he went to hell for us and in our place so that we don't have to go but if we don't receive him and what he's done for us at the cross, we will have to go on our own behalf

 that's because you've never experienced the new birth, all of us are born atheists until we're born again and once we're born again the Holy Spirit who is the third Person of the Godhead comes and lives within us, and the first thing he does he makes a firm believer out of you regarding Jesus, the holy bible, Heaven and Hell just to name a few things

 You're not saved by Good Works but your Works will be judged whether you are a sinner or a saint your Works will be judged and for the Saints if your works are not approved of God they will be burned up and you will lose Rewards and even the possibility of being saved as if by fire according to 1st Corinthians 3:13 to 15.

 Hypocrites don't like to be called hypocrites, Liars don't like to be called Liars, false teachers don't like to be called false teachers, wolves in sheeps clothing don't like to be called wolves in sheep's clothing, fornicators and adulterers don't like to be called fornicators and adulterers, traitors don't like to be called traitors, the list is endless, but wait till they stand before Jesus the King of kings and the Lord of lords on that great Day! Fair Warning.

 Penal substitutionary atonement is everywhere like you mentioned that preposition "for' is from the Greek huper or anti and should have been translated "in the place of " or "as a substitute", "on behalf of," "for the sake of" just to name of few definitions, and don't forget that Bart is a false New Testament scholar and I'm being nice

 my Bible says that I'm a New Creation in Christ, my Bible says that I'm the righteousness of God in Christ, my Bible says that I'm holy blameless and Beyond reproach in Christ, the filthy rags you're referring to in Isaiah has to do with our own attempt to earn salvation regarding our own works of righteousness in comparison to His Righteousness

 the Holy Spirit is not limited to gender yet in doing so you grieve him and you will give an account on that great day, but great things are happening in the church via a last and final Reformation, you'll see many more women coming to the forefront in great leadership positions in the context of a plurality of leaders working alongside men, qualified by the Holy Spirit himself and not by man, fair warning

 And you know what, I need to make a correction because I don't believe that God speaks audibly most of the time but through the inner voice of the indwelling Holy Spirit and many other ways of course, I've been born again for 32 years and I think I've heard the audible voice of the Holy Spirit on three or four occasions only, but he does speak and has different ways to communicate and reveal truth to those who will take the time to listen and pay attention to the inner witnesses and quickenings of the Holy Spirit. And I don't claim to know everything about the Holy Spirit I'm only speaking from experience. As God's children we are to experience God the Father God the word and God the Holy Spirit in different ways at different times as we give ourselves over to his written word and to prayer, fasting and as charismatics we believe and a gift of speaking to God with the gift of tongues speaking mysteries and being edified according to 1st Corinthians 14:2-4 etc.

 Imagine having the Holy Spirit inside of you and not hearing what He has to tell you, very sad indeed isn't it. Jesus the chief Shepherd even said that His sheep would hear His voice. Calvinism and cessationism have espoused false doctrines that have quenched and grieved the Holy Spirit and they will give an account on that great day.

 Jesus actually went to hell in our place so that we don't have to go to hell when we die but if we don't receive Him as our Savior and Lord then we will have to go to hell and pay for our sins eventually in the Lake of Fire for eternity

fair warning

 Romans 12:2 is how you stop yourself from becoming an unbelieving believer or a pagan Christian.

 God is not going to do something that the church is supposed to do because we already have his instructions in his Word and when we begin to line up with his Word then we will see God do his part but until we do our part don't expect God to do his part nor expect him to do our part.

 Calvinism does not offer Holiness whatsoever in the true sense of the word holiness because God is Holy and there's no false indoctrination there is no falsehood there's no half truths there is no unsound Doctrine there is no heresies in God yet Calvinism is full of these.

 that's because you don't know what kind of reformer I am, if you read all my profile you will see that I'm an Apostolic reformer and some, meaning I'm charismatic meaning I believe in all the gifts of the Spirit for today, I believe in Ephesians 4:11 and 1 Corinthians 12:28 is for today, in other words I'm not your run of the mill reformers even though I'm very well versed in the early reformers such as Tyndale, Wycliffe Luther, Calvin, Huss just to name a few, like many have said about me I don't only swing on a different branch but I swing on a whole different tree, the Lord showed me years ago that my family tree going all the way back to Calvin has a reformer by the name of Gerard Roussel. Years ago the Lord told me that Reformation begins with God and when covid started the lord gave me a word that he was going to use me to bring Reformation to a broken Church and even a few years back he said reformers challenge the status quo, Shalom

 because of the fall of Man, God has elected, chosen, predestined all of mankind to be with him in heaven when they die called unlimited atonement since Jesus died for all of them and actually saved all of them yet positionally, and All That Remains is for them to hear the good news and to receive the Good News by believing it, short and sweet, easy peasy, shalom.

 you can speak for yourself and others but you can't speak on my behalf, what I teach as an Apostolic missionary I teach it accurately because of the One who taught it to me to begin with and if there are things I've never been taught by the Holy Spirit I don't waste my time trying to teach it in other words I only teach what I know to be true and that's a good teacher right there

 The Holy Bible, from Genesis to Revelation is full of warnings and not threats. God threatens no one but He warns. Love warns.

 finally somebody got it and we're not adopted we were born into the family of God, the word adoption is a bad translation, born again, born from above, born of God, born of the Spirit, born of Incorruptible seed, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Regenerated in our spirit which gives us the new nature which is the very same nature that Jesus was born with according to his Humanity, adoption cannot give you a new nature but the new birth will

 you'd be surprised what God uses at times because He looks at the heart of Man, it 's the same with the sinner's prayer which I don't necessarily endorse but I've seen people actually genuinely get saved by praying it because they meant it from their heart! God looks at the heart! this is everywhere in the Bible OT NT

 Waiting on the Lord yet the Lord is waiting on us is exactly right, he's waiting on us to believe what he believes, he's waiting on us to believe what he's already done for us at the cross, he's waiting on us to believe what he's already given us because of the cross as well as back in the Garden of Eden.

 If you are in any type of leadership position in the Body of Christ, the two best things that you could ever do for God's People is to make sure that you feed them with Sound Doctrine and you do that freely without taking any offerings or using any type of financial persuasions. Freely given freely give.

 Before you look at and judge and evaluate everybody else's heart, judge your own heart because God is looking at your heart as well.

 Prosperity is everywhere in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation but it's the way they teach it and they teach it wrong and they get rich off of it, that's the problem, but as long as people keep giving into these Ministries it will not stop the problem

 There's no such thing as failures on God's part, it's all on Man's part, saved and unsaved alike. God tells us what to do and not do, he tells us what to believe and not believe, he tells us where to go and not go and so forth including warnings and consequences, and we are free to do so or to do contrary, back to the Garden of Eden

 Debating with an atheist regarding the existence of God is a royal waste of time. The best way to convince an atheist that God is real is by getting them born again so that the Holy Spirit can prove to them once and for all of God's existence.

 I had a so-called friend a few years ago and he was trying to teach me about tongues but he didn't have the gift of tongues and I've been praying in tongues for over 20 years at that time now it's been almost 25 years I've been praying in tongues almost from the very first year I got born again, got baptized with the Holy Spirit in my room while waiting on God, I heard my mother praying in tongues but I didn't know what it was but I said whatever that is Lord I want it and I got it really good

 Local churches, Bible schools, Christian universities have no business receiving funds from the government if they have been installed by God since He is their provider and not the government

 exactly and don't let these Calvinists talk you out of it, we are to do the very same works that Jesus did and greater Works because we are his body on the Earth we are part of the new creation we have the very same authority and power that he had and that he gave his first disciples, we have access to the gifts of the Spirit who indwells us and so much more, Jesus said we can have what we say as long as we say what he tells us to say, we are a brand new creation upon the Earth among the old creation, we have rights benefits and privileges in Christ Jesus the second Adam that we must exercise by your faith

 God originally gave Mankind the choice between the Tree of Life and the tree of death telling as well as warning Mankind what tree to eat from and not eat from with consequences, and until this very day that choice still exists. You reap what you sow.

 Running to a calvinist for Sound Doctrine is like running to a desert looking for an ocean,

 No, these are very dark times and they're about to get a whole lot darker according to Matthew 24:21 and 1st Timothy 3:1

 For God's will to be done on the earth he has to work it through his church the body of Christ the new creation but the majority of those who are part of the church the body of Christ the new creation are not on the same page which is why we need a final Reformation

 We are about to see a whole lot more Street preachers than ever before, God is about to flood the highways and the byways with all kinds of preachers with all kinds of cameras, some will be legit some will be illegitimate, I'm not about to tell God how to do things,

 Truth Bomb kaboom Mark 11:23 we can have what we say as long as we say what he told us to say and as long as we come in agreement with his perfect will, calling those things that be not as though they were Romans 4:17b, Faith puts God to work and faith has a voice therefore our voice puts God to work in the same way that we read in Genesis 1:3 to 4, God works with words on the Earth because he is the word and we're in Union with the word once we're born again

 If you don't experience the New Birth that the Holy Scriptures talk about, you will never experience Heaven when you die.

 God was able to intervene in the life of Saul because while Saul was having Steven stoned to death, Stephen was interceding for him and this is what God needs regarding intercession, my mother and her born again charismatic Catholic friends prayed for me for 16 years and at the age of 31 while playing in a rock band all messed up on drugs and girls and booze, I was gloriously radically saved by a glorious radical God and I've been gloriously radical ever since and that's been 32 years ago having never went back to my vomit whatsoever and now being an Apostolic International missionary by the grace of God I am what I am today and I'm just getting started

 You can't get away from God, one way or another you will have to come face to face with him on that great day like the rest of us but you need to know that there's two judgments, the Judgment seat of Christ for those who believe in Jesus and we're born again and then there's the great white Throne judgment for those who have rejected the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ

 Everything is conditional in the Bible starting back in Genesis with Adam and the two trees yet God always tells us what to choose and believe and do and not choose and not believe and not do but he can't do it for us, God allows what we allow, God's promises are conditional based upon faith, God offers man salvation, God offers man healing, God offers man Deliverance, God offers man provision and so much more but man needs to know about it and believe it which is how he receives it, easy peasy

 Everything offered to fallen man and to the believer is offered because of his grace regarding something that God has already done and given freely, yet it was done and given positionally, but it has to be received by faith, you should do a real heavy duty study on what the word of God has to say about Grace and Faith even faith in the Old Testament, read the great faith chapter in Hebrews 11, and by the way you should do a study on the indicative in contact with imperatives in the New Testament you might learn something as well as the middle voice, every positional truth must be received by believing in order to become effective and efficacious, shalom

 He who prays little sees little, he who prays much sees much.

 The Fall of Man is not God's doing but Man's doing which is why its called the fall of man and not the fall of God therefore God is not obligated to save fallen Mankind nor is he obligated to send preachers to preach to good news nor was He obligated to make the good news available because if He was obligated to do all of that, it would not be called or considered grace.

 the true church not the building is the body of Christ the new creation therefore it's not a hospital for sinners it's an army the army of God those who are born again born of Incorruptible seed born of the Spirit born from above regenerated called to bring the Great Commission and the gospel of the Kingdom to the Lost and dying world, to bring healing to the sick and dying world and to bring Deliverance, that's the Church the Body of Christ the New Creation

 of course you're not, the god of this world has blinded your mind 2 Corinthians 4:4, you are spiritually dead in your trespasses and sin Ephesians 2 1 to 3, the message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, that's why the church has been given by the Lord himself the Great Commission, we're all born atheists with the sin and death nature as I was but I had a Praying Mother for 16 years and I was gloriously born again and saved in 1994 at the age of 31, thank you Jesus, Fair warning, eternity is a long time actually it's endless time meaning there's no end to it. Heaven or Hell, the Judgment seat of Christ for the Believers and the Great White Throne judgment for the unrepentant.

 The heresies and false indoctrinations of the Cessationist Camp far outweighs the heresies and false indoctrinations of the Charismatic Camp.

 If the church was busy doing the Great Commission, winning the lost, Healing The Sick, driving out demons, feeding the poor and hungry, they would not have time for Spiritual gossiping and being busy bodies

 Church is full of gossipers, it's none of your business when it comes to any kind of scandals, let them work it out with those that it's specifically affecting, move on with your life and get busy with a Great Commission and make disciples

 The real you is invisible, spirit, soul and body, the real you is spirit and soul, the body is just a vehicle to get around this Earth like a space suit we have an earth suit

 Christians have been bickering, backbiting and backstabbing each other for years and centuries, social media and internet just made it worse or exposed it more, just read the Bible it's everywhere addressing this, start with 1 Corinthians chapter 1:10-11 just for starters

 You can sear your conscience with false indoctrination if you're not careful. Beware.

 1st Corinthians 15:10 the Apostle Paul labored more than all of the Apostles put together because of God's grace and not taking God's grace in vain. John 6:29 is a very interesting verse that I came across a few years ago when I got into this Faith message that the Lord taught me and not from the word of faith camp, and as we should all know by now that faith is a noun yet believing is a verb it's an action, it's something you do, and the more I walk by faith and believe what God believes the more I see God working because faith is the only law that will put God to work at saving a human being, at healing a human being, a delivering a human being, providing for a human being and so much more, faith is the only Avenue that God has to work with because he's already done everything else which is the grace part of it all, God is the performer of his word and promises and we are to be the believers and like I said believing is something you do

 At the Cross, Jesus was not murdered but offered Himself as a living sacrificial offering for the sins of Mankind

 the Pharisees had many things working against them and one of them was that they proclaimed that they knew God and everybody else did not, now if that does not sound like a calvinist I don't know what does,

 Shepherds who are not protecting God's Sheep from wolves in sheep's clothing have become wolves in sheep's clothing themselves.

 Jesus taught many things and did many things like preaching on the gospel of the kingdom of God, healing The sick, driving out demons and warning people of a place called hell if they did not repent, but the most important thing that Jesus did was that he died on the cross as a sin offering for all of mankind, and those who would believe would be saved and those would not believe and reject his gospel would be lost for eternity in a place called the Lake of fire

 not even close to it, that word is used in Hebrews 11:3 out of context, the older amplified ampc catches it, most other translations and versions mis translate it with the word universe including the newer amplified referring back to the Genesis account which is wrong, read the context the faith chapter and everything that was done by faith by the Old Testament Saints, same word used in Romans 12:2, the Greek word for universe is kosmos, and the Greek word in Hebrews 1:2 is eons same word in Hebrews 11:3 and Romans 12:2, not kosmos

 If you don't believe in the penal substitutionary atonement you don't understand the cross whatsoever and what took place at the cross and why it took place at the cross and who was there at the cross in light of the great white Throne judgment and the Lake of fire

 Serving Mammon is walking by sight, putting your trust in your circumstances, depending on the economy and government instead of walking by faith/with God.

 Calvinists are braindead like the rest of them, no concept of God being a relational God giving man freedom to choose right from wrong yet telling and even warning man what to choose beforehand including the consequences, and that's just for starters. God made children because he wanted children in the context of the family and not robots and puppets and marionettes

 Calvinists say that God ordained Lucifer to fall and then Adam to fall so that He can bring Jesus which makes no sense whatsoever, it's the heresy of all heresies since it was never God's will for man to fall and die spiritually and then physically, never, these people don't know God nor do they know his character

 According to 1st Corinthians 3:13 to 15 even once you become a Christian it does not mean your Works will be good works and approved by God, the only works that are approved by God are the works that he gets to work by his Spirit through your faith because faith and faith alone puts God to work which is why Faith pleases God.

 The greatest Theologian of all theologians lives on the inside of me once I'm Born Again, and once I take the time to assimilate His Word He is free to reveal and teach me His Word according to His Mind, this is what makes a great theologian and many other things in the Body of Christ the Church the New Creation.

 The moment you are Born of God your primary Calling is to walk in your sonship / as Jesus walked. Thank you Jesus.

 The doctrine of salvation and Redemption is a doctrine of grace, the doctrine of divine healing is a doctrine of grace, the doctrine of Divine provision is a doctrine of grace, the doctrine of Supernatural Deliverance is a doctrine of grace, the doctrine of divine sonship is a doctrine of grace. Grace Grace Grace Grace Grace Grace Grace Grace Grace Grace Grace Grace

 If you are habitually being led by the Spirit you will have the very same works that Jesus had and even greater works.

 The day of Pentecost was not the beginning of the charismatic movement it was the beginning of the Body of Christ the Church the New Creation which is to be Charismatic and Apostolic and Evangelistic and Prophetic and so much more, but no such thing as a charismatic movement or a Word of Faith movement or any other kind of movement for that matter, God is looking for sons and at this time there are very few that are walking in their sonship or walking as Jesus walked.

 What about Romans 10:17 and the whole context of the need of preachers being sent even though I disagree that the context that you mentioned is the grace that is a gift and even more so the salvation mentioned which is the key topic here and not so much the faith (Ephesians 2:8) even though God has made available what he believes to mankind in his word and it's up to us to believe his word or not believe it but he's always there to help us of course even once we're saved he's always there to help us and that's why he's called the helper among many other things. Salvation is a gift from God to fallen mankind made available through his grace received by our faith.

 Most of what happens in the world has nothing to do with God but with evil man and the devil the god of this world. If we saw more salvations and healings and deliverances then we would see God working his works through his church the body of Christ the new creation because God has not changed

 Until Man desires and wills what God desires and wills, God has no other choice in the matter but to allow what Man allows and desires and wills. In other words, God allows evil because Man allows and desires evil more than good, since, overall, Man is evil and spiritually dead.

 Reformed theology is anything but compelling because there's hardly any truth to it to begin with and it's only the truth that will make you free

 The atheist mocks the idea of a Coming Judgment, mocking the idea of Heaven and Hell yet at the same time the atheist likes to blame God for the corruption and sinfulness in the world.

 I poke the bear when and where it's needed but I expect the bear to poke back. It's no different from Light exposing Darkness yet at the same time Darkness likes to poke back at the Light . Put on the Full Armor of God and keep it on.

 When it comes to relationships between Human Beings, trust is to be earned as well as maintained, as well as reciprocal.

 Doubt, unbelief, wrong believing, ignorance, little faith, wavering are all enemies of your faith. Don't tolerate them but get rid of them by meditating the Word day and night.

 No need to fall as New Testament Saints since we are in Union with the sinless one the second Adam Jesus Christ, if we will learn to put off the old man and put on the new man Ephesians 4:22 to 24 as well as sowing the word as a seed James 1:21, New Testament Saints have a great advantage over Old Testament Saints since we have the indwelling Spirit and we have the New Nature being a New Creation in Christ, I've been saved for 32 years this summer coming 2026 and I never once went back to my vomit not once and the more I keep on putting off the old man and putting on the new man through mind renewal with New Creation realities the less I sin, born again to walk as Jesus walked according to his Humanity, thank you Jesus for the Good News.

 Sanctification is up to the believer not to God, God regenerates the human spirit but then the soul has to be sanctified through the word and prayer and fasting called instructions of his grace.

 Satan loves everything that God hates and hates everything that God loves. Easy peasy.

 Mankind lost the image of God Genesis 5:3 therefore until you are born again you are not a child of God but a child of disobedience and a child of Wrath Ephesians 2 :1 to 3

 It's impossible that God has predestined some to be saved and some to be lost like the heretical Calvinists say and spew because God has already sovereignly and positionally saved every human being at the cross, and now the only thing that's left to do is for the church to take the Great Commission seriously in the power of the Holy Spirit and bring the Good News to a lost and dying world before it's too late. And those who believe shall be saved and those who refuse to believe shall not be saved.

 God allows what we allow, he allows wars, he allows abortions, he allows murders, he allows rapes, he allows torture, he allows crime and corruption just to name a few. Yet at the same time he told us what to do not do but if we choose to do otherwise he allows it with consequences and warnings, back to Genesis 2:17.

 Charlatans are everywhere, in the charismatic camp, in the word of faith camp, in the New Apostolic Reformation camp, in a calvinistic and cessationist camp, in the Baptist camp just to name a few

 If you want to know God's perfect will for Man you need to go back in Genesis 2:17 meaning it was never God's will for Man to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil meaning it was never God's will for Man to fall meaning God never ordained Man to fall to begin with yet God allows what we allow but He tells us in advance about the consequences and warns us in advance,

 The Agonies of the Crucifixion and of the Lake of Fire proves the Sinfulness of Sin.

 I'm realizing more and more that there are different branches or camps or beliefs or point of views when it comes to the word or name Calvinism, and I guess it's no different from the Charismatic camp or the Word of faith camp or groups whatever you want to call them, I'm very charismatic but I certainly don't follow the primary leaders known to the church world, actually some of them disgust me, shalom

 There's a difference between keeping your salvation and walking in your salvation and obviously you don't know the difference, once you're truly born again you are on the straight and narrow path and the Lord is there to help you to keep and stay on that straight and narrow path but he won't do it for you, the Epistles are full of exhortations, instructions, and even warnings to the Saints and not so much the sinners. There's no such thing as a relationship between God and his children in the calvinistic camp, it's all about control but that's not what the Word teaches.

 There's only one Path that will lead you to the Tree of Life, to the River of Life and to Eternal life and that Path is called the Born Again Trail. Every other trail will lead you in the very opposite direction. Fair warning.

 The Doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement is everywhere in the Word of God and greatly needed for the forgiveness of sins, as a matter of fact there is no Salvation without it, none whatsoever.

 God not only gave us shepherds but gave us apostles, prophets, evangelists and teaching shepherds for the equipping of the Saints for the work of the ministry for the edification of the Body

 True genuine regeneration and salvation of the spirit of Man is instantaneous yet let's never forget that sanctification of the soul is progressive.

 Missionary Enterprises shall become a New Sharp Threshing Instrument which has Teeth, bringing Reformation to a broken Church. Thank you Jesus.

 The Church the Body of Christ is the New Creation in Christ the New Adam, one New Man out of the two, Gentiles and Jews (Ephesians 2:15)

 If you are not progressively moving towards to be in God's perfect will for your life, you are backslidden.

 The greatest evangelists and soul winners in the church world were those who had revelation of the realities of hell and the Lake of Fire, and one of those was William Booth in whom God had given him two visions of hell. The Lord made hell very real to me when I got born again through the conviction of sin and that set me on a path of evangelizing at the workplace in construction industry passing out tracts and bibles being mocked but not all the time of course but even in my own City the Lord had me going door to door passing out tracts and then eventually he had me retire at the age of 44 from construction and began to prepare me to become a full-time Apostolic International missionary. William Booth said we preach on a heaven without a hell but unfortunately those who do preach on hell do it behind a Pulpit which is easy peasy compared to going out there among the masses.

 Conditional Atonement, Limited Atonement & Unlimited Atonement: Know the difference.

 Missionary Enterprises shall become a New Sharp Threshing Instrument which has Teeth, bringing Reformation to a broken Church. Thank you Jesus.

 Hebrews 9:27, this verse is not telling us that God has an appointed time for every human being to die what it's telling us is that every man is going to die and then face God in judgment, no reincarnation Etc, it was never God's will for man to die to begin with, people die all the time prematurely for all kinds of reasons, bad choices, crime, Wars, disease, you name it it's out there and God has nothing to do with it, this is man's doing, sin and death entered through the fall of Man

 With God it's Unlimited Atonement yet with Man it's Limited Atonement since Man is the one who has limited the atonement by rejecting the atonement.

 God has already saved all of mankind sovereignly and positionally at the cross called unlimited atonement and all that's left is for mankind to hear the good news and to receive it by believing it or not receive it by not believing it, easy peasy Thank you Jesus

 Salvation, healing and provision are not promises but a certainty to those who believe, but to those who doubt or have little faith, it is not a certainty.

 Jesus Paid It All yes absolutely complete but it has to be received by believing and if we don't receive it by not believing then we will have to pay for it for ourselves in the Lake of Fire,, that's why there's always bad news to Good News, easy peasy 101 Christianity I understood this the first year I was born again 32 years ago

 There's a difference between being a child of God and a son of God, in the Greek it's the present tense all those who are habitually continually led by the Spirit, in the very same way that Jesus according to his Humanity was habitually led by the Spirit Acts 10:38, and this is greatly lacking in the overall Church

 If you're really serious about the Holy Bible and you have some time on your hands depending on if you're married and have children or not and if you're in full-time Ministry it's a good rabbit hole to fall into, make sure you take some notes of your discoveries of the Greek and Hebrew different translations and versions, it could be very confusing and frustrating at first but you have to work through all of that, and eventually you'll come out of it with great insight not only helping yourself but others, dictionaries, concordances, lexical AIDS, lexicons, commentaries on Greek and Hebrew, all valuable resources and many of them are for free online but I always like to go to my books most of the time unless I'm cut and pasting for some notes to save on my hard drives

 Faith precedes regeneration, and from experience also because I had to hear the Gospel first and foremost and then the Lord by His Spirit convicted me of sin causing me to see my sin the way he saw it which empowered and enabled me to repent and believe. Which led me to be born again or regenerated and we know that the Holy Spirit was sent to convict the whole world of sin and not just some John 16:8-9 which I believe has to work alongside the Body of Christ and the Great Commission, Romans 10 is also very important in all of this. And I think it's very important also to note that I had a praying mother that had prayed for me for 16 years prior to me being born again. She just went home to be with the Lord and her husband and her children at the age of 96 last year. After Jesus she's the love of my life.

 the moment Mankind ate from the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil they died spiritually meaning all of Adam and Eve's offspring died also especially in light of Genesis 5:3 where Adam procreated sons and daughters in his own image and no longer in God's image

 The moment our spirit is regenerated we have received the very same nature that Jesus was born with which is what caused us to be in Him in Union with Him in Union with the Second Adam and no longer in Union with the first Adam

 Yes Jesus has already decided our salvation for us but we have to come in agreement with him by believing him by receiving him (John 1:12 to 13)

 The best way to silence your critics is to get out there and get people saved healed and delivered in abundance, of course you will always have a Critic but you will have less critics, the fruit of your labors will speak for itself and those that you touch will speak on behalf of you

 The Bible says not to quench the Holy Spirit and actually it's an imperative or command in the original text/ Greek grammar, the work of the holy spirit in the life of the believer does not automatically take place because there needs to be a cooperation between the Holy Spirit and the believer

 Jesus was made sin with our sin and when this happened on the cross he actually became the first Adam in his fallen state, this is how he redeemed the whole race of the first Adam and then making available the New Birth to those who would receive by believing what he had done for them causing them to become a new creation in Christ the second Adam

 Calvinists don't speak on behalf of God but of the god of this fallen world! They claim to have the revelations of the Doctrines of Grace yet they spew the doctrines of demons!

 In the New Testament more specifically the new creation as it was back in the Garden of Eden regarding the original creation, our provision is based upon our sonship and not our giving, sorry to rain on your parade

 I'm not going to waste your time nor my time but I can give you ample verses where they specifically say that the primary teacher in the body of Christ the church the new creation is the indwelling Holy Spirit, and I'm a teacher myself and some, but I've learned to give myself over to what it takes for the indwelling Spirit of God to teach me his word as I give myself over to his word which is my primary calling as one of God's sons and as an international Apostolic missionary. The Bible over and over warns us of false teachings and there's only one who is qualified to show us as the Spirit of Truth what is the truth and not of the truth. The majority of leaders in the church are not willing to do what it takes to be taught by the Holy Spirit therefore they have to rely on books, preachers and so forth, and I myself have over 5,000 theological books in my personal Library but ultimately I've learned to give myself over to the Greatest Teacher who will never deceive me

 If you are a genuine Shepherd in the Body of Christ, you will teach God's People how to inoculate themselves against deception.

 God according to his Justice puts an expectation on us to believe what he's done for us at the cross , meaning he can't just go around saving everybody apart from them believing even though he would like to, and even though he has sovereignly and positionally saved every human being at the cross, it has to be received by faith or by believing.

 Most preachers have no idea what is awaiting them in the Judgment seat of Christ when it comes to their Doctrine and what they've been feeding God's people with

 No one says everyone will be saved because that's universalism, what we're saying is that it is God's will for all to be saved but not all will be saved because not all will receive the gift of salvation by faith, and the Great Commission has a lot to do with that plainly in Romans 10 and 2 Corinthians 5 yet most of the church has not taken the Great Commission seriously and will give an account in the Judgment seat of Christ, God has to work through his body the church the body of Christ

 God's plan of Redemption does not fail, we are the ones who have failed his plan of Redemption by not taking it seriously regarding the Great Commission and going into all the world and making disciples of all Nations and we will give an account in the Judgment seat of Christ.

 Ephesians 4:11 and 1st Corinthians 12:28 are for today and both include men and women alike. Thank you jesus.

 The Apostle Paul in the book of Acts chapter 20 talked about preaching the whole counsel of God leaving nothing out like others were doing and we have the very same thing today, especially with cherry picking making things even worse.

 You will never understand the fullness of the plan of Salvation and Redemption until you've understood the doctrine of Propitiation and Substitution, that Jesus took our place at the Cross as a substitute so that we don't have to experience the wrath of God but if we don't receive it then we will need to pay for our own debt in the Lake of fire, this is Christianity101, I understood this the first year I was born again, shalom

 The main mission of every local church worldwide should be:

#1 train them
#2 send them
#3 save and heal them.

 Jesus is the Head of the Church positionally but not in reality because if He was truly the Head of the Church there would be no such thing as Calvinism nor Cessationism nor false doctrines in other Camps, He would be Lord over everything that needs to take place in His Body the Church the New Creation but obviously this is not the case. And all of this will be revealed in great details in the Judgment Seat of Christ starting with 1st Corinthians 3:10-15.

 Coming from a Baptist I'm not surprised of your final conclusions which are incredibly erroneous because the very Ministry of Jesus is for the Body today, the equipping in the Saints Ephesians 4:11 to 16, 1st Corinthians 12:28 God has not changed his mind he put in the church miracles gifts of healings and so forth in the context of the whole body of Christ working together, cherry picking will never work with Jesus on that great day, fair warning you're in for a rude awakening, I deal with people like you all the time in my travels across the world as an international Apostolic missionary, removing the gifts of the Spirit is grieving the Holy Spirit ,what else does he have to work with if you take his gifts away, how would you like it if we took your gifts away, what could you use to get your work done?

 Catholicism and Calvinism are not the same whatsoever yet both are corrupt. Fair warning and beware.

 What created what we see today geographically is because of the Global Flood because God did not create the Earth the way it is today compared to what it was back in the Garden of Eden before the fall of Man.

 There is a difference between the Original Apostles also called The Apostles of the Lamb and the Apostles found in Ephesians 4:11 and 1st Corinthians 12:28. Yet the truth remains that Apostles alongside Prophets, Evangelists and Teaching Shepherds are for today alongside the Miracles and Gifts of Healings., just to name a few. Thank you Jesus.

 Your New Identity in Christ should and must shape and form your High Calling in Christ and vice versa since they are inseparable.

 The indoctrination being espoused by the Cessationists and Calvinists is pure hatred towards a lost and dying world

 And we all want prosperity don't we, the best paying jobs and so forth but the problem with the prosperity message is how they get prosperous with tithes and offerings, Luke 6:38 which has nothing to do with prosperity the way they teach it, fleecing the flock or the ignorant,we need to be going all the way back in the garden before the fall I would say that mankind was extremely prosperous extremely wealthy extremely rich extremely healthy and extremely sinless and this is what belongs to those of us who are part of the new creation in Christ the second Adam

 you need to go to Genesis 5:1- 3 especially verse 3 because after the fall which is where Adam and Eve lost God's image everyone born through procreation up to this very day is born with a nature that is void of God's image which is why we need to be born again spiritually, but babies, aborted babies, miscarriages and children before the age of accountability are given much grace and have perfect entrance into heaven if they die

 Mankind is The offspring of fallen Adam and Eve which is why God made a new race a new Man available Ephesians 2:15, a new creation through the new birth so that we can be in Union with the second Adam and no longer in Union with the first Adam, this is a big part of the Gospel.

 The moment you are truly Born Again you become a sinless saint in your recreated spirit but you remain a sinning saint or a saint that sins in your unsaved soul until you do something about it through mind renewal. It's not a contradiction but a paradox.

 After you get saved, the most dangerous things you could ever do to compromise your walk with God is by reading the wrong books, listening to the wrong preachers, sitting under wrong indoctrination attending wrong local churches. Fair warning and beware to all new believers.

 Love is a verb it's an action, when you tell somebody you love them you should more or less prove it to them and not so much just say it to them

 Speaking the Word is not enough because most Word of Faith people speak the Word all the time but there's no manifestation because there's no faith in their heart, Jesus told us we needed to get rid of the doubt (Mark 11:23).

 Free moral agents and God had already told Adam what to do and not do so all Adam had to do was believe God and he would have never went close to that tree that led to the death of mankind I call it the tree of death, when it comes to Lucifer I haven't found anything in the word yet that would be similar to what I've said about Adam but I believe the same thing applies to him as well

 All of mankind was saved at the cross positionally, I received my personal salvation in 1994 through the conviction of sin John 16:8-9, radically saved by a radical God and I've been radical ever since, thank you Jesus.

 We don't need a church on fire we simply need the church the body of Christ walking in its sonship walking as Jesus walked, charismatics get all flaky and spooky and weird when you mention fire, they get into the Flesh, that's not what we need, we already have enough of that.

 When you're truly walking by faith you're being led by your heart and not by your surroundings since faith is in/of the heart.

 the church has been infected by false indoctrination starting with liberal Theology and Progressive Christianity but also Calvinism and cessationism grieving the Holy Spirit quenching the Holy Spirit stopping the Holy Spirit from being and doing what he was sent to be and do just to name a few, of course we have other issues and other camps like the charismatic camp as well as the word of faith camp and the nar I'm the first one to admit that one, what the church needs is one big final and last pure Reformation where the Holy Spirit is allowed to be and do what he was sent to be and do as in being the head of the church accompanied with all his giftings and operations as he wills with the right proper Church government since he was sent to take the place of Jesus in the hearts of those who are born again and in Christ the second Adam.

 nobody is born born again nobody is born spiritually alive but spiritually dead in our trespasses, the only two people that were born right with God was the first Adam and the Second Adam

 that's right, the debt for sin being paid by Jesus had to be received by faith or by believing, salvation is a gift that could be received or rejected and even once you receive the gift of Salvation you can do whatever you want with it meaning you can throw it away eventually, so much for once saved always saved, the debt was paid in full but it was paid positionally meaning like you said it has to be accepted or received, and when the sinner stands before God in the great white Throne judgment the sinner will have nothing to accuse God of because God will show him everything that He had already done for him positionally and will reveal to him his folly in rejecting the free gift of salvation. And this by itself will torment the sinner among many other things for eternity in the Lake of fire.

 It depends what it is, if she's about to cross the street with lots of traffic and you tell her not to cross and she goes to cross, it's your responsibility to stop in order to protect her and even maybe save her life, when it comes to Genesis 2:17 God told Adam what to do and not do telling him the consequences and Adam did the opposite yet God never stopped him because he had told him beforehand what to do or not do.

 Does God know the Eternal destination of man before he is born? of course he does he's omniscient, God knew well that man was going to fall and God knew well that many would end up rejecting the gospel but if he had chosen not to create man because of this he would have taken man's freedom to choose away from man. God allows what we allow yet at the same time he tells us what to do or not to do even though he knows what we're going to do, we seem to put the blame on God but the blame is on us.
