Welcome back, everybody, to another mini episode.

I'm here with Rod from the millennial mustard seed.

Great to be back with you.

Here we are again.

Here we are again.

And we're continuing this series on rethinking eternal security.

And this is part three.

And we're going to continue with kind of where we left off with Matthew 7 as we were talking about recognizing them by their fruit, true and false prophets and true and false believers,

that a bad tree cannot bear good fruit, a good tree cannot bear bad fruit.

And just a little sidebar on that, guys, that one always throws me off,

especially when I think of the way John puts it in some

of his writings where it's like, you know, a good spring is not going to have bitter water.

And I go, well, I have some bad fruit from time to time.

I think there's an all or nothing way to look at this that can really

get us tripped up. So put that on the shelf for the time being. And Rod, if you want to read this

through, what we're going to do is reread that section. But we're going to start with verse 15 of Matthew 7, and we're going to go all the way to verse 23.

And we're going to take a close look at what many have termed the scariest verses in the Bible.

Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the

kingdom of heaven. And I used to always think, oh, man, it's describing people who are doing

these wonderful things for God and they're not saved. Ooh, that's scary. Am I really saved?

You might think to yourself. Well, I have a different theory on what this is actually saying. And it comes from the context of true and false believers, prophets, disciples, and discernment.

Well, I'll start here in verse 15, Matthew 7, true and false prophets.
