Why I left the Pentecostal church ... I became a "born again Christian." I gave up my life ... my music ... even my future dreams to follow Jesus for the first time in my life ... on the right path. It was not until October, 1987 when I met Louis Sharp in Little Rock, AR, that I really understood what "faithfulness" really means. As we began to study and learn... I began to realize that the Lord had work for me, as a Christian, to do. I then began to teach and preach the Gospel of Christ, it has now become my life.

Lesson 18: Obedience To The Gospel After Jesus had died for our sins, was resurrected and just before he ascended into heaven, he commanded his apostles in Mark 16:15-16, "And he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Our Lord wanted the gospel preached to everyone. The word "gospel" literally means good news or good tidings. In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek." So we see that the gospel of Christ is God's only power unto salvation. It is by the gospel or good news that God saves us. What does the Bible say that the gospel is that saves us? In I Corinthians 15:1-4, Paul is reminding the church at Corinth about the gospel when he says, "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/interactive/salvation-18-obeying-the-gospel.htm

Why Be Baptized? Why Be Baptized? Click to View Among our Lord's last words to his disciples was the charge to preach the saving gospel to all men. In Matthew Chapter 28,verse 19, he said, "Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost".

He writes: "Of the apostles, therefore, John and Matthew first instill faith into us; whilst of apostolic men, Luke and Mark renew it afterwards.""

Spital Sermon, Andrew Snape, 1718 AD This is where the idea of the "mad scientist" or the "insane genius" came from. Just as a body builder will snap a bone or tendon from too much load, so too the genius overloads his fleshly brain. Of course, the Christian knows from Luke 16:21ff, that memory and computation are a function of the spirit, not the brain or the body. Snape worked at Bedlam and suggested that institutionalized care could cure it: "there is need of Art and Skill, of proper Remedies, and a strict Confinement of the Person so afflicted ... Physick and Diet, and other Management" It is noteworthy that in 1758, William Battie rejected sin as a cause of insanity and adopted the "brain wiring" etiology pioneered in part by a local church minister! Christians today know that thinking hard and deep thought do not cause insanity, since these happen in the spirit not the physical brain.
