  1. Great video. The evidence of the principle of sowing and reaping from Galatians 6 at its finest. This seed of false doctrine from over a century ago has led to so much depravity in so many areas of our society and culture, let alone the effect on so many churches here in America. A little leaven indeed. Thanks guys hope this one gets many many views and helps these churches get back to basic biblical doctrine.

  2. Dang. Charles Finney is in hell. Never met the guy. But that’s quite a statement.

    You are misrepresenting his books. He said many times it’s all Jesus.

    “Every victory over sin is by faith in Christ. And whenever the mind is diverted from Christ by resolving and fighting against sin; whether we are aware of it or not; we are acting in our own strength rejecting the help of Christ and are under a specious delusion. Nothing but the life and energy of the spirit of Christ within us can save us from sin. And trust is the uniform and universal condition of the working of this saving energy within us.

    How deeply rooted in men is self righteousness and self dependence. So deeply that one of the hardest lessons for the human heart to learn is to renounce self dependance and trust Christ. When we open the door by implicit trust he enters in and takes up his abode with us and in us. By shedding abroad his love he quickens our whole souls into sympathy with himself and in this way and this way alone he purifies our hearts through faith. He sustains our will in the Attitude of devotion. He quickens and regulates our affections, desires, appetites and passions and becomes our sanctification.” — Charles Finney.

  3. Wow, to proclaim a person is in hell, based simple on anti-reformed evangelism technique is just plain judgmental, this guy is Finney’s judge ?Only Christ sits on the Bema-Seat Not Calvin or this crew ! This is why so many sound minded Christian’s steer clear of Calvinism/reformed churches

  4. Such off the cuff conclusions! One of the generals of the faith is in hell? Finney had one of the most enduring conversion rates of any evangelist. It is reported of Billy Graham's converts that about 98% fell away. I look forward to your video throwing Billy G. under the bus.
    Please delete this video…. thank you.

  5. Jesus Christ clearly teaches in Matthew 7:15-23 that we have the right and duty to judge preachers and teachers of GOD's Word to determine (judge) whether or not they are true Biblical preachers/teachers or false preachers/teachers. False preachers/teachers are not saved and therefore (by the fruits of their false Biblical preaching/teaching) we can determine that they end up in Hell. Matthew chapter 7 verses 15-23- "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ "

  6. Finney laid the foundation for the false evangelism of Billy Sunday, Billy Graham and every false evangelist since. Today we have Franklyn Graham and Greg Laurie along with others who have advanced a false gospel and a false deceptive faith. The doctrine of Finney is based on a blasphemous and heretical view of the person of God, the person of Jesus, sin, the atonement and what a true vital genuine faith and conversion experience. A false man centered gospel that worships a false God and false Savior. Despite the fact that God may from time to time save someone under these false evangelists the method and doctrine behind it is of the devil the father of lies. And God has so ordained that this heretical faith should make itself known among the masses of lost humanity and lead people astray. Many are called but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14. Matthew 7:13,14 – 23. It is the call and duty of Gods elect to preach not just a true biblical gospel but to reveal the heresy and damnable doctrines that are the bulwark of this evangelical danger and deception.
