Here's a short video I made. The promise of the Father is available to all who ask for it (for Him!) in the name of Jesus!
I just started a channel of my own and posted my first video last week about 2 Timothy 2:12. It’s a rebuttal of Bob Wilkin’s commentary on the passage. Would you mind giving me your critique on it?

Thanks for liking and subscribing. Unfortunately, your video is over an hour long (mine is under 2 minutes long) and the only way I could critique your video would be to watch the entire thing, which (no offense) I am not going to do. Just a general suggestion regarding posting long videos on Youtube -- In my opinion, you will get very few if any people taking the time to watch the whole thing.

Yeah, I have 64 views so far which isn’t bad for only being posted for 5 days. Most people aren’t watching the entire video but I know that if I don’t do a comprehensive explanation of the passage it doesn’t really prove what the scriptures teach. Having debated the topic of eternal security for so long I know that if I don’t present as much evidence as possible it’ll just be dismissed. On the other hand having debated the topic for so long I also know that in most cases no matter how much evidence I present it’s usually dismissed anyways, but at least I won’t be accused of not presenting evidence to support my theology.

While the AOG (this forum) is quite adamant,

The General Council of the Assemblies of God disapproves of the
unconditional security position which holds that it is impossible
for a person once saved to be lost.
(Bylaws, Article IX.B.1)

, where is one of your undertakings seen?

Right here. It’s actually a rebuttal of Bob Wilkin’s commentary on 2 Timothy 2:12

Like BD said, I had to scan a little to redeem the time, which causes me to wonder, if your going invest that much time into a video for a media that won't generate quite the retention as typewritten media, why not capture your opponent's error in headings and go at it with sound corrections that won't suffer loss of exposure?

Because in my years of debating this topic if you don’t provide a fully comprehensive explanation people will often just reject it and respond by saying “yeah but you didn’t address this or that”. So I preemptively address the known rebuttals I’ve often encountered before they’re presented to dispel with the back & forth arguments.

Ah, noted, truly. But years on a single topic? On which promise, 'eternal security', or the gift of the Holy Spirit, which are intertwined?

Not not just one topic but yes I have also debated about the gift of the Holy Spirit as well and explained how being sealed with the Holy Spirit isn’t a guarantee of salvation according to Ephesians 4:30 to Ephesians 5:1-6

Thankful, the OSAS is quite a small faction.
