“ Good Systematic Presentation ” Dr.Fernandes' point by point, exegetical analysis is sharp, evoking deep reflection of God's Word. This pastor is well versed in the scriptures and is obviously a highly educated theologian. I have listened to many uninspiring pastors who come across to me as superficial with little to offer intellectually and spiritually. This teacher has not disappointed me. I am looking forward to listening to his remaining sermons on Revelation.
“ Great Sermon! ” Your sermon was very helpful. You search the Bible to see if a doctrine is so. And you remain kind and respectful to other views. I never believed in secret return of Jesus before His Second Coming. Many American missionaries do, too bad. Thank you.
“ Great Sermon! ” Dear Dr. Fernandes:
I would like to request a printed copy of your sermon about the Da Vinci code. The teacher of my 14-year old daughter was heralding it like an alternative bible. I told my daughter that it is satanic but I lack the information to prove so.
I would appreciate your help.
Your brother in the common faith.
“ A timely message! ” Great message which Christians need to hear! I also recommend the other 2 messages in the series. Mr. Fernandes is a good apologist.

“ Great Interview! ” Apparently, many high ranking "leaders" within the American government, especially the executive branch (whether a Republican or Democrat administration, it hasn't mattered.) have embarked on a not-so-subtle agenda for global government via regional governance "trade" pacts ( NAFTA, FTAA, CAFTA ), UN resolution WMD disarmament enforcement( UN Iraq Resolution 1441 ), and the fairly recent creation of other international bodies and "treaties" ( ICC, African Union-like the EU, UN Law of Sea Treaty, etc.) Our "leadership" is busy closing American bases while simultaneously opening permanent bases in foreign lands for UN/NATO purposes in Bosnia, Kosovo, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, ad nauseum. As a John Birch Society member and a Reformed Baptist, I find Fernandes' interview with William Norman Grigg of The New American a welcome breath of fresh air within the American evangelical Christian community. It is my hope that fellow Christians will take notice and help to save our country and civilization- before it is too late.
“ A Great Sermon and part of a Great Series!! ” This series is well thought out and well presented. It would be great if we could download a printed copy of all three messages. This is valuable apologetic material.
“ An overview of the Da Vinci Code ” I have read the Da Vinci Code and was left with a lot of unanswered questions -Especially with what can be regarded as "fact" and also what the Church's response is wrt certain (very uncomfortable) statements made in the book. Your sermons were blesssings; answers to my prayers that God reveal the truth (with empirical evidence)to me. HE is the only Truth and the Light; thank you for being instruments in His hand!
“ Great Sermon! ” Good biblical exegesis on the post-trib rapture position. I started off as a new Christian thinking that the pre-trib rapture view was the only position Christians were suppose to accept. After reading Millard Erickson and George Ladd, I began to ask myself some hard questions on whether the biblical text actually supported the dispensational pre-trib view. Thanks to Dr. Fernandes and others, I would have to believe, without reservation, that the historic Premillennial (post-trib) view agrees much better with the biblical text.
“ Great Sermon! ” Nice message. What a positive outlook into the Scriptures. I am encouraged to continue on as a tentmaker here.
By the way, my boss wants to fix me up with a single Japanese Christian, as neither of us are yet married. Please pray, as these introductions are serious in the Japanese culture. It is called "omiai." Pray for God's direction, as it would be what we both want, being both committed Christians.
Sincerely,
Michael Lindner
“ Great Sermon! ” I loved this sermon and they way you point to scripture of your Post-Trib thoughts. However I have come to another conclusion and hope you consider it.
I fought with myself for a while now with the notion of Pre-Trib or Post. I have come to the conclusion that it must be Pre-Trib and no other explanation.
I have come across a very good site to explain the same thing I found. I hope this will be good information for anybody searching like I was.

Tribulation specific

And in defense of Pre-Trib which I honestly believe is the case now.

Enjoy your study and epiphany.
“ Best Overview! ” Easy to understand and follow along and very good information....even for those of us not born in US. Dr. Fernandes destroys Mr. Dan Brown's weak attempt at harming Christianity. Jesus is God in Flesh! Thank you Dr. Fernandes for your good defense of REAL Jesus!
“ Comprehensive & clear rebuttal! ” The best of about 20 or so treatments
of this subject that I've heard in the last year. Dr. Fernandes exposes key points of errors, deceptions, and absurdly silly claims that Dan Brown alleges as 'FACT!'. Outline his points and you'll be ready to share the truth when someone asks you, "what do you think of Ron Howard's new movie about the 'Da Vinci Code'?
“ Great Sermon! ” I am of Puerto Rican decent and found the sermon keen and incisive. I was humbled by Doc. Fernades' soft spoken yet forthright delivery. I think more spanish brethen need to hear and know a brother like this man of God. THANK YOU.
“ Great Sermon! ” Very philosophical in content, yet was Bible based and intriguing. The speaker also did a fine job of subtly linking the whole topic to end-time events.
“ Great Sermon! ” Outlining a Biblical understanding of combating new age and new age concepts. When Christ Our Lord asked us to "watch and pray." I believe that Dr. Phil Fernandes is teaching Christ's disciples how to "watch." I believe this sermon is a helpful resource in learning "not to be conformed to this world." Jesus said; " You are light of the world, salt of the earth," This gripping sermon is in my understanding, "light" and "salt."
“ Great Sermon! ” "For earthly princes lay aside their power when they rise up against God, and are unworthy to be reckoned among the number of mankind. We ought, rather, to spit upon their heads than to obey them." John Calvin (Commentary on Daniel, Lecture XXX)
