The World Mission Society Church Of God (WMSCOG) is a cult group that is quickly growing around the world. This false religion's primary teaching is that there is a "mother god," and only through faith in her can a person be saved. This group also teaches salvation by works.

Recently Jordan sent in a question to Apologia Studios concerning Ephesians 1:4 and the contradictions in this passage to Calvinism. The guys at Apologia discussed this question in one of their recent radio shows which you can view in the link below. In this episode of Rightly Dividing, Jordan gives a reply to Apologia Studios and their answer to his question. Watch video version: https://youtu.be...

Ephesians 1:4 is a popular Calvinist prooftext. But does this passage really support Calvinism? Jordan focuses in on Ephesians 1 and explains Paul's emphasis on believers being "in Christ." When you know what it means to be in Christ and when that reality took place for each believer, concepts of election and predestination become much more clear.

Jordan discusses Ephesians chapter 1 verse 4, where it says that we were "chosen in him before the foundation of the world." Reformed theology seems to neglect the all important "conditional" phrase in this passage-- "in him." If spiritual blessings are only reserved for those who are "presently in Christ," then this creates enormous problems for Calvinism.  Find more of our resources covering the...

LINK to John Piper's Article: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/before-you-believed-you-belonged Do we "belong" to God as "his own" BEFORE we believe in Him and receive Jesus as Calvinism claims?

Who are Jesus' sheep that he refers to in the gospel of John? Are they the unconditionally elect who God predetermined to salvation while leaving the rest of humanity to destruction and wrath? This is the view that John Piper would teach. In this episode we reply to this view and explain who the sheep of God truly are.

In this table talk we discuss the WMSCOG (World Mission Society Church Of God) and compare their gospel to the gospel of the Bible. We cover many of the popular scriptures that they wrongly interpret and give their proper explanation. Salvation is by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and NOT BY WORKS, as the WMSCOG wrongly teaches. Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t...

Being chosen by God is a spiritual blessing, and Ephesians 1 says that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing IN CHRIST. This means that the moment in time where believers receive every spiritual blessing (including being chosen) is the point in time when we come to be in union with Jesus Christ. So at what point in time does this take place for believers? The answer to this question she...

In Part 6 of the series covering Romans 9, Jordan explains the spiritual analogies of Jacob and Esau that Paul uses in Romans 9. Did God really "hate" Esau before he was born. Did God unconditionally elect Jacob to salvation and Esau to damnation? or does Paul have another point he's making with these Old Testament figures? Find out in this episode.   Watch video version: https://youtu.be/nrh-PQKM...

In this episode Jordan continues through Romans 9 and discusses Paul’s usage of the story of Isaac and Ishmael. Why does Paul bring up this story? What is he using these Old Testament figures to illustrate? How do they further his argument that God has chosen faith in Christ over works as the way to receive salvation? This episode answers those questions. Romans 9 is not primarily exalting “God’s...
