Baptism in Water Acts 10:47 “Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?” The believer has the Holy Spirit before water baptism. Every child of God has the Holy Spirit and only children of God have the Holy Spirit. Believers always receive the Holy Spirit before they are baptized in water because the Holy Spirit is given to everyone who believes in Jesus Christ at the very same moment that they believe.

Salvation means Forgiveness Isa 53:5-6 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. All of our sins were laid on Christ, He died to pay the penalty that the law demanded for our sins. He made full and complete atonement for our sins. 1

Teaching the Bible Is the Key to Revival   Ps 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. If a Christian is to keep his way pure, he must live according to the teachings of the word of God. The word of God gives us directions in our thoughts, in our words, and in our actions. Prov 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The way to train a child is according to the wor

We Must Believe in Jesus Christ   Acts 10:30-44 Acts 10:30-33 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the...

We Are Chosen No one seeks for God. Ps 14:2-3 The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.  See also Rom 3:10-12 No one seeks for God, there is not even one person in the whole wide world who seeks for God. Some people claim to seek for God, but God’s word says that no one seeks for God. The wo

God Saved Us and He Will Keep Us Saved Forever John 10:27-30 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one. Jesus Christ gives eternal life to all who belong to Him, and we have His word that we shall never perish. Fu

The Only Way To Please God Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Our knowledge and understanding of God must begin by faith in Him, we must believe He is. By faith we know that God is the creator of all things and as a result, we give glory to God. Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shal

The Work of the Holy Spirit John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved, to obtain forgiveness of sins, to be made right with God; He is the only true God, and in Him is the only truth there is about God. Jesus Christ is the source of all life, and the only source of eternal life; no one can approach God except through Him. Luke 12:8-10 Also I say unto you, Whosoeve

LORD AND SAVIOR - ALMIGHTY GOD CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH   Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. God was in the beginning before anything was created, God always was, God had no beginning. God created all things, everything comes from God. Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: There is only one God, one Creator, one source of all things. John 1:1-3&14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

Salvation Was Completed On The Cross John 19:28-30 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. When Jesus said it is finished, and gave up His spirit, H

Jesus Is The Only Way   John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We did not love God, but God loved us and gave His Son to die for the forgiveness of our sins. Everyone who believes in Jesus Christ will not perish, not go to hell, but have everlasting life. Our salvation is all of God’s doing from beginning to end, and it is ours by simply believing in Jesus Christ.

Saved By Grace Through Faith Rom 3:19-26, James 2:10, Rom 3:10, Gal 3:24-26, John 14:6, 1Pet 1:18-19, Gal 2:19-20, Acts 16:31 Rom 3:19-20 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. The Law here refers to the rule of obedience th

The Day To Acknowledge God's Finished Work Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Did GOD need rest? No! GOD is all mighty and never gets tired. The Bible says He rested, only as an expression, so that we would know that GOD was finished with creating all that He created. Exod 20:8-11 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Forgiveness of Sins and Everlasting Life A man once asked the apostles Paul and Silas, ‘ ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” they responded,  ” Believe in the LORD JESUS, and you shall be saved.” John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. The person that believes in Jesus Christ is not judged because Jesus has taken our judgment upon Himself, but

The Repentance That Results In Salvation     Salvation John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.  God gave His Son to die for us, to take our place in judgement. Jesus Christ came into this world to save us from the judgement we all deserve. All our sins were placed upon Him at the cross. He paid one hundred percent of the penalty that was demanded by the law of God for ou

The Trumpet Sound and The Rapture of the Church A trump is the sound of a trumpet, it is used to call people together, to call people to a certain action, or to make an announcement. The word trump is used two times in the King James Bible, the word trumpet is used fifty-eight times in the King James Bible, and the term last trump is used only once in the King James Bible, in 1Cor 15:51. Num 10:2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that t

Unbelievers Have Been Judged Guilty Already    Eccl 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. There is not one person who lives his whole life without sin. Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; We are all sinners; we are all less than perfect; no one measures up to God's standard. Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believ
