| Is Holy Spirit Baptism The Baptism That Saves? In an article I recently wrote I had a gentleman of the Pentecostal persuasion respond seemingly upset with me over the issue of baptism as I was emphasizing the importance of water baptism which he was discounting as being nothing more than a... ( added 1 day 15 hours ago.) |
| The Case of Cornelius and the Holy Spirit There are many who believe beyond doubt that Cornelius was saved at the time the Holy Spirit came upon him and his household. It is a topic that ought to be discussed. While I have written once before on this subject more needs to be said as there... ( added 11 days 15 hours ago.) |
| The Truth So Called Christians Will Not Accept Most people who call themselves Christians are in reality not Christians at all no matter how dedicated they may be to their faith. The word of God is truth (Jesus speaking, John 17:17 ) and stands as the one and only standard that is acceptable... ( added 22 days 20 hours ago.) |
|
| Hypocrites In The Church Are there hypocrites in the church? Surely, there are some. Paul dealt with such in his day for he said in 2 Cor. 11:13, "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ." (NASU) In Gal. 2:4 he... ( added 26 days 12 hours ago.) |
| Dealing With Regret While it would be wonderful to live a life of no regrets there are few if any of us that have or will. By the time one reaches old age, and generally a long, long time before one can look back at his life and see things he wishes he had done... ( added 43 days 2 hours ago.) |
| The New Birth (Born of Water and the Spirit) Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:3 (NASU), "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God" and then a couple of verses later (John 3:5 NASU) clarifies his statement when he says, "Truly, truly, I say to you... ( added 53 days 2 hours ago.) |
| The Mysterious Eloquent Evangelist There are a lot of mysterious characters mentioned in the Bible we would like to know a lot more about than we do. Apollos, the eloquent evangelist, ranks right up there near the top among such New Testament characters. However, the fact that we... ( added 58 days 18 hours ago.) |
| Gospel Obedience at Corinth - What Really Happened? Did Paul preach the same gospel at Corinth that he taught elsewhere? Everywhere else he taught, as part of the gospel, baptism for the remission of sins. One can go to Acts 16 and read two accounts, in the same chapter, of conversions made by Paul... ( added 66 days 19 hours ago.) |
| He Rejoiced Greatly Having Believed in God In Acts 16 verses 23 through 34 we have the account of the conversion of the Philippian jailer at the hands of Paul and Silas who preached the gospel to him and his household. As you recall Paul and Silas had been jailed in Philippi when an... ( added 71 days 23 hours ago.) |
| The Joy and the Danger of a Clean Conscience A good conscience is a wonderful thing to have. Without it there is no inner peace - only turmoil, anxiety, and restlessness. Anyone who has violated his conscience knows of that which I speak.
A bad conscience pricks us continually without let... ( added 80 days 19 hours ago.) |
| Be Faithful to the Lord - Conversion "And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, 'If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.' And she prevailed upon us." (Acts 16:15 NAS) In Acts 16:13-15 we find the account of the... ( added 83 days 15 hours ago.) |
| Was Cornelius Saved Before Baptism? In the last few posts we have been dealing with the subject of obeying the gospel in the first century and what that consisted of. This is another installment dealing with the same subject. Why do so? Because there is absolutely no possibility... ( added 87 days 18 hours ago.) |
| Saul's Conversion - A Lesson For Today "And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he arose and was baptized." (Acts 9:18 NAS)
[The reader would do well to read in order, for background material, three earlier articles posted by... ( added 95 days 19 hours ago.) |
| Preaching Jesus Means Preaching Baptism "And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. And as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" (Acts 8:35-36 NAS)
... ( added 101 days 12 hours ago.) |
| Is Baptism a Part of the Gospel? "But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike." (Acts 8:12 NAS)
It would be good to read my prior article on this directory entitled... ( added 106 days 18 hours ago.) |
| Acceptable Prayer When a person runs into trouble in his or her life they are often counseled to pray. That is usually one of the very first things that are done and most certainly we ought to turn to God in our times of trouble. James says, "Is anyone among you... ( added 110 days 21 hours ago.) |
| Receiving the Gospel "So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and there were added that day about three thousand souls." (Acts 2:41 NAS)
In my younger days I use to hear about those preachers on tv or radio who would tell their listening audience... ( added 111 days 23 hours ago.) |
| Faith Based On Deception Gen. 37:31-33, "So they took Joseph's tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood.

| Willful Sin - Can Anyone Be Saved? Heb. 10:26-27 Heb. 10:26-27 "For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins. But a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries." (NKJV)... ( added 119 days 16 hours ago.) |
| Who Gets to Decide - God or The Church? There are approximately 38,000 denominations in the world today calling themselves Christian according to the results I found on the subject doing a Google search. I was astounded and find that number hard to believe but be that as it may we all... ( added 122 days 14 hours ago.) |
| Healing For The Brokenhearted "Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick. And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none." (Psalms 69:20 NASU) Read in context one sees clearly that this passage of scripture refers to Jesus toward the... ( added 132 days 17 hours ago.) |
| The Kind of Faith In God That Destroys There is a faith, a so called Christian faith, that destroys. Those who hold such a faith, while sincere, do not understand faith from a scriptural point of view. Faith is all too often defined as "what I believe." There is more to saving faith... ( added 135 days 14 hours ago.) |

| So What Do You Want? What do you want to do with your life, that is the rest of it? Whether our days be few or many we each, everyday, have to ask ourselves this very question. What do I want out of life? What will bring me the greatest joy and satisfaction? Should I... ( added 140 days 13 hours ago.) |
| Does God Really Care? Over the course of time just about all of us are confronted with the reality of suffering and abuse not just on newscasts but in our own personal world where we live day by day.

| They Loved the Praise of Men Most of us given a choice would like to be well thought of and spoken well of for our life and beliefs rather than to be reviled, criticized, and despised.
