401: Lesson 17: Baptized Into Christ
Have you been baptized into Christ in order to be saved and have your sins forgiven? If you haven't been, let us notice some of the things that you are missing. 1) Ephesians 1:3 says, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places ... If you have not been baptized into Christ, you are still outside of Christ, and you are not entitled to any spiritual blessings. The Lord arranged it that way and no man has the right to change it. 2) Romans 8:1 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." On the day of ... Those who are outside of Christ have no promise of eternal life. So what does that leave them? It leaves them only eternal punishment, which is a sad condition. My heart bleeds for them, because I don't want to see anyone lost. But how can you get people to wake up to the truth of God's word? The following ... ...

402: Is Church Membership Essential to my salvation?
... also the message, "The Government of the New Testament Church.") It is obvious that God both intended and directed his followers to meet together in earthly assembly. If one believes in Christ and is obedient unto salvation he becomes, mandatory, a member of the Lord's church. This membership confers both rights and duties: The right is salvation if, we remain faithful members until death. The duties are those previously mentioned, and others. Some of these other duties are: Obey civil government (Rom. 13:1-4); bring forth fruit unto God (John 15:7-8); love and pray for our enemies (Matthew 5:44-48). worship in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:23,24); remain unspotted by worldly things (Jas. 1:27); glorify God (I Cor. 6:19,20); and, be faithful until death (Rev. 2:10). These things and others are required. Thus, the Bible answer to the question, "Is church membership essential to salvation?", is "Yes!". Indeed, membership in the Lord's church is, for Christians, unavoidable. Click ... ...

403: Attending church for the wrong reasons!
divine son of God. The end of this story is found in v66, "As a result of His words, many of Jesus disciples withdrew, and were not walking with him any more." 5000 left Jesus. Only about twelve remained. Today, if a minister caused a similar drop in church attendance, he would be fired on the spot. Yet Jesus deliberately repelled the 5000 because they were following Him for the wrong reasons. Unlike many religious leaders today, Jesus was interested in quality not numbers! Attending For The Wrong Reasons It is truly sad that modern churches use cheap gimmicks to get people to attend. The church service has been changed from heart-felt worship to Hollywood ... Yes, these churches are full every Sunday, but most members would quit if the "cake and ice cream" that initially attracted them were no longer offered.

406: What is Bible Repentance?
Webster also gives the definition as to feel such regret and dissatisfaction over some past action or intention as to change one's mind about it or to change one's way. Repentance involves changing one's affections - from earthly things to heavenly things. It involves turning to the living God from a god of self. It is looking unto Christ instead of looking unto another. Repentance requires the right attitude towards sin. This is Godly sorrow. Repentance ... This story is told in Acts Chapter 17, and reference here is made to verse 30 of that Chapter. Unrighteous people need to repent. In Acts Chapter 8, the story is told of a man who obeyed the gospel, he was baptized, but later for the love of gold and popularity, he wanted to buy the gift of the Holy Spirit. At this time it seems apparent that Simon's heart was not sincere and pure. God, knowing the hearts of all men and certainly knowing the heart of Simon on this occasion, directed Peter by the Holy Spirit to tell Simon to "repent ... ...

You'll be born again at the moment you receive Christ. He's at the door knocking. You don't even have to change bad habits, just trust Christ as Savior.

He is cast in the role of the adversary of man, an arrogant aspirant to the authority that belongs to God. Satan is a usurper of God's place in the heart of man. See him there, using enticement, deception, and falsehood. His subtle and beguiling ways have earned for him an appropriate name, "devil", or slanderer. There are implications in Scripture that Satan is a spirit being who was formerly an angel. The Bible alludes to fallen angels in II Peter 2:4 and Jude 6. I John 3:8, states that the devil sinned from the beginning. Too, there is an indication that the devil came under condemnation (I Timothy 3:6). Satan is called the "god of this world" II Corinthians 4:4. The world is Satan's arena.

His affection and respect for his mother was manifested from the cross. He was concerned about her care and well-being. He gave this responsibility to the beloved Apostle John (John 19:25-27). You shall always be children in the eyes of your parents and in the eyes of the Lord. Your response to the commandment, "Obey your parents" and "Honor thy father and thy mother", will be a pretty good yardstick measuring how well you will obey your Lord and give Him honor through faithful worship. The child's responsibility is a lifetime achievement, an achievement that will be richly blessed in all walks of life. In the words of Ephesians ... ...

427: The Bible and Children's Responsibility to the Parents
... Christ provides us with an example in all things. Having returned from the visit to the city of Jerusalem at the age of 12, the Bible says that Christ, "was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man" Luke 2, verses 51,52. Christ was obedient to his parents. His affection and respect for his mother was manifested from the cross. He was concerned about her care and well-being. He gave this responsibility to the beloved Apostle John (John 19:25-27). You shall always be children in the eyes of your parents and in the eyes of the Lord. Your response to the commandment, "Obey your parents" and "Honor thy father and thy mother", will be a pretty good yardstick measuring how well you will obey your Lord and give Him honor through faithful worship. The child's responsibility is a lifetime achievement, an achievement that will be richly blessed in all walks of life. In the words of Ephesians ... ...

428: Mad-Doctors: William Battie: 1703-1776 AD
In 1758 AD, William Battie, Mad Doctor at Bedlam and then St. Lukes asylum, was caustically hostile to Christianity and religion in general, like modern chemical psychiatry today. His A Treatise on Madness, never mentions the words: soul, spirit, God, Jesus. The only time Christianity is brought into the subject is his rather stupid suggestion that the laziness religious leaders causes madness because their "nerves" were out of shape due to lack of use the same way the lazy man has weak heart. It was a clear slap against religion. He was one who actually believed that Christians were generally mentally ill. This ... is not curable by any method which human reason or experience hath hitherto been able to discover; we should take great care not to do harm where it is not in our power to do any good, and not dwell too long on endeavouring to remove the causes of Madness, which perhaps are only imaginary, more especially if the methods to be made use of are by no means indifferent. ... ...

Constantine clearly viewed Jesus as the deity in which military victory was guaranteed!

Disinterest in reaching the lost is not the only problem we are battling today. We are also faced with general apathy, poor attendance, compromising of moral standards, and morgue-like worship services. Actually, all these little problems are merely symptoms of one large central problem: a superficial relationship with God.

The Hindu trinity of Brahman, Siva, and Vishnu is another of the many and widespread instances of this theological conception.
