452: What Must I Do To Be Saved ?
The change in a person's life resulting in his becoming a Christian is called in the Bible, conversion, and the Bible teaches that conversion is necessary for a person to be saved. Christ likened this change to a birth and taught Nicodemus, "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom ... Finally, a person must be baptized in the likeness of Christ's death and burial (Rom. 6: 4) in order for God to forgive him of past sins. The Bible says, "Arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins calling on the name of the Lord" (Acts 22: 16). And we also remember in a scripture we read only a moment ago that in Peter's sermon on the day of ... When a person believes in Christ, repents of sin, confesses Christ and is baptized into Christ for the remission of sins, he is converted. Only then has he been born of water and of the Spirit as referred to in John 3: 3-5. Then the Lord adds him to the body, the Church, the Kingdom of God (Acts 2: 47). If you have not ... ...

453: Overview Of Correspondence Course Work
... We have found that, unless you have very dedicated people as helpers, it is more efficient for one man to handle all poster advertising. It may take you an entire day to put up posters in a large city. But the Lord's church needs more evangelists getting out of their offices and into the fields! I check my posters at least once a week for enrollees. Be methodical. 2. Bible Call: The two-minute recorded message program is also very effective. Simply advertise the phone number in the personal column of the local newspaper. Always offer the course at the end of an inspirational-type message. View it as an indirect method of getting enrollments. Interested people phone for the message, and after a few days, enroll in the course which you have offered after every message. I believe the only value of Bible Call is to use it in conjunction with a correspondence course. I do not recommend the use of the question/answer format or the labor-intensive message library format where the caller ... ...

... What did Jesus say? (Mark it, Elder Rigdon!) The scriptures inform us that Jesus said, as the Father hath power in himself, even so hath the Son power--to do what? Why, what the Father did. The answer is obvious--in a manner to lay down his body and take it up again. Jesus, what are you going to do? To lay down my life as my Father did, and take it up again. Do you believe it?

458: Sola Scriptura and the Apostolic Fathers: 405 AD: John Chrysostom
... While we would strongly disagree with Chrysostom on this point, we honestly admit that he seems to take such a view. After all, we know there was a gradual movement to emphasize church tradition over what the Bible says, and Chrysostom at 400 AD, may be indicative that things are changing in that direction. But in light of what Chrysostom has already said about the scriptures, we could only guess that the specific things that make up this "unwritten tradition" are insignificant and of a secondary importance. Like modern Catholics, Chrysostom merely makes the claim of "unwritten tradition" without ever really giving us a specific example. Provide us a specific list! Without such an example, we object that modern Catholics squeeze in all their extra-biblical doctrines. Jerome, who also lived at the same time as Chrysostom in 400 AD, does provide such a list in (Jerome, Dialogue Against the Luciferians, 8), like drinking "milk and honey" immediately after being baptized. So we can in fact ... ...

460: The Ignatian Forgeries: They claim to be written by Ignatius ...
Again, we view all Ignatius' writings as forgeries. They purport to be written by Ignatius, who lived about 110 AD. We believe it is clear, however, that they are all no earlier than 220 AD, more likely 250 AD. Although they are forgeries, they do represent the views of the author in time of 250 AD. We see a clear change from the Bible pattern, from a plurality of Elders (also called bishops) , deacons and saints, to a single Bishop who ruled the congregations and under him were a plurality of elders, then deacons and saints. At this point in history, congregations were still autonomous and independent, but we also see the seeds of development for the Papal system, where one man rules over all churches world wide which first occurred in 606 AD. Within one of the "7 genuine Ignatius letters", is a powerful clue it is clearly a forgery from a later time. The very first historical reference to the "Catholic Church" is nestled warmly between very strong commands to obey the bishop as you ... ...

463: Gospel Meetings: The Edification vs. The Evangelistic types
... The ultimate purpose is to motivate the visitors to examine themselves in light of the gospel and to get them to return the following Sunday or be willing to study one-on-one. Subjects like If you died tonight, would you go to heaven? or Bible answers for a hurting home are excellent because they deal with immediate human needs and show the Bible to be relevant in people's lives. Subjects like Why do you believe the doctrines you believe? are also excellent. The idea here is not to deal with any specific false doctrines but to show that false doctrine is prevalent and encourage them to examine their own beliefs. Denominations bashing doesn't go over well with first-time visitors and should be reserved for one-on-one Bible studies. An evangelistic meeting is strictly a local church effort.

474: Church Creeds: The fuel of religious division
The word creed is derived from the Latin credo meaning I believe. In a sense, what one believes is his creed. However, the term has come to designate the authoritative statement of the teachings of a religious body. It is not merely ones personal convictions, but represents the official position of the church to which a member must subscribe if one is to remain in the good graces of that body. Most of us can agree with the truths expressed in the Apostles Creed. Some may wonder how anyone could legitimately object to it as a confession of the church. The problem is not that the Apostles Creed is erroneous, but that it is a human expression placed on par with the divine revelation of the Bible. Human writings are not wrong because they are ...

Rather, he made it manifest that He alone would save those who do not depart from His faith.... As the blood of the passover saved those who were in Egypt, so also the blood of Christ will deliver from death those who have believed." (Justin Trypho chap. 111) 185-255 AD Origen "One of the doctrines included in the teaching of the Church is that there is a just judgment of God. This fact incites those who believe it to live virtuously and to shun sin. They acknowledge that the things worthy of praise and blame are within our own power. ... It is our responsibility to live righteously. God asks this of us, not as though it were ... ways." (Clement Miscellanies bk. 6, chap. 13) 190 AD Clement of Alexandria "Abraham was not justified by works, but by faith [Rom. 4:3].
