THE REASON WE MUST TEACH AND PREACH THE SALVATION
MESSAGE!
For we must all appear before the judgment seat
of Christ that every one may receive the things
done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the
terror of the Lord, we persuade men 2
Corinthians 510-11
As you read this presentation, you will notice
that some of the scriptures are repeated several
times throughout the presentation, especially the
ones regarding being born again of the water and
of the Spirit. This is purposely done, in order
for those scriptures to constantly stay in your
minds. WHY? Because we should never forget or
compromise the fact that repentance is absolutely
necessary, and that baptism in Jesus name for
the remission of sins is absolutely necessary and
remembering that being filled with the Holy
Ghost, speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives
the utterance is absolutely necessary in order to
enter the kingdom of God.

Acts 237  Now when they heard this, they were
pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
what shall we do?  Acts 238  Then Peter said
unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost.  Acts 239  For the promise is unto
you, and to your children, and to all that are
afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall
call. 
What must we do to be saved?
Obey the gospel as taught by Jesus disciples.

HE THAT WINS SOULS IS WISE!
Romans 1013-15  For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then
shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of
whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear
without a preacher? And how shall they preach,
except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good
things! 
Proverbs 1130
5
Isaiah 526  Therefore my people shall know my
name therefore they shall know in that day that
I am he that doth speak behold, it is
I.  Isaiah 527  How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings,
that publisheth peace that bringeth good tidings
of good, that publisheth salvation that saith
unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 
6
Galatians 16-9 I marvel that ye are so soon
removed from him that called you into the grace
of Christ unto another Gospel Which is not
another but there be some that trouble you, and
would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though
we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
Gospel unto you than that which we have preached
unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before,
so say I now again, If any man preach any other
Gospel unto you than that ye have received, let
him be accursed.
John 1720 Neither pray I for these alone, but
for them also which shall believe on me through
their word
WHOSE WORD? The disciples word!

GODS LOVE FOR MANKIND IS SO AMAZING! THANK YOU
LORD!
John 316 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. 
2 Peter 39 The Lord is not slack concerning his
promise, as some men count slackness but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to
repentance. 
8
THE FATHER LOVETH THE SON, AND HATH GIVEN ALL
THINGS INTO HIS HAND. HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE
SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE
John 334-36  For he whom God hath sent speaketh
the words of God for God giveth not the Spirit
by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son,
and hath given all things into his hand. He that
believeth on the Son hath everlasting life and
he that believeth not the Son shall not see life
but the wrath of God abideth on him. 
John 314-19  And as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be
lifted up That whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have eternal life. 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. For God sent
not his Son into the world to condemn the world
but that the world through him might be saved. 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. And this is the
condemnation, that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil. 
9
GODS LOVE FOR MANKIND IS SO AMAZING, HOWEVER, WE
MUST WARN PEOPLE THAT EVEN THOUGH GOD LOVES US,
HE IS NOT MOCKED!
Galatians 67 Be not deceived God is not mocked
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap. Galatians 68 For he that soweth to his
flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he
that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit
reap life everlasting. 
WARNING AGAINST NEGLECTING SALVATION Hebrews 22 
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great
salvation which at the first began to be spoken
by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them
that heard him God also bearing them witness,
both with signs and wonders, and with divers
miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according
to his own will? 
10
WE ALL MUST BE BORN AGAIN
John 33-8 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be
born when he is old? can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus
answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except
a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which
is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I
said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind
bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the
sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it
cometh, and whither it goeth so is every one
that is born of the Spirit. 
Acts 233  Therefore being by the right hand of
God exalted, and having received of the Father
the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed
forth this, which ye now see and hear. 
11
IF YOU ARE NOT FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST,
YOU DO NOT BELONG TO HIM.
Romans 89  But ye are not in the flesh, but in
the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God
dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit
of Christ, he is none of his.  Romans 810  And
if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of
sin but the Spirit is life because of
righteousness.  Romans 811  But if the Spirit of
him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in
you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall
also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit
that dwelleth in you. 
12
LUKE 1510 LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY
IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE
SINNER THAT REPENTETH.
No matter how great our programs are, no matter
how many people attend our churches, no matter
how great the choir and praise teams sound, no
matter how wonderful and exciting the preaching
is, no matter how uplifting the fellowship is,
etc, if we are not encouraging people to
believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as their
Savior, and by explaining to them how to be born
again of the water and of the Spirit, we are
cheating them out of making a decision to give
their lives to Jesus Christ we are cheating
them out of the opportunity of having eternal
life.
13
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
OBEY ACTS 238!
Acts 237  Now when they heard this, they were
pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
what shall we do?  Acts 238  Then Peter said
unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost.  Acts 239  For the promise is unto
you, and to your children, and to all that are
afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall
call. 
Lord, Please forgive me, I repent of my sins. I
want to be baptized in your name, and be filled
with the Holy Ghost. I love you, Lord. Thank you
for forgiving me.
14
REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE
NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS,
AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST.
Acts 21-4 And when the day of Pentecost was
fully come, they were all with one accord in one
place. And suddenly there came a sound from
heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled
all the house where they were sitting. And there
appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of
fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were
all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance.  Acts 232-39 This Jesus hath God
raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.  Therefor
e being by the right hand of God exalted, and
having received of the Father the promise of the
Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now
see and hear. For David is not ascended into the
heavens but he saith himself, The LORD said unto
my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make
thy foes thy footstool. Therefore let all the
house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath
made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart, and said unto
Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto
them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your
children, and to all that are afar off, even as
many as the Lord our God shall call. 
Thank you Jesus for forgiving me of my sins.
15
In my opinion, altar calls should be a part in
all of our services, for it just may be possible
that someone who came to church, for whatever
reason, may now want to give their lives to God.
Many have said they would have gone to the altar,
if the church had made one more invitation to
come to Jesus. Unfortunately, many churches have
become too anxious for the church services to be
over, so that they can go about doing their own
business putting the things of God, (which is
winning souls), behind their own desires. (Dear
Lord, please forgive us. Please deliver us from
becoming a lukewarm Church).
16
IF WE LOVE JESUS, WE MUST FEED HIS SHEEP BY
PREACHING AND TEACHING THE SAME GOSPEL THAT JESUS
TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO PREACH.
JESUS SAID John 2115-17 So when they had dined,
Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto
him, Yea, Lord thou knowest that I love thee. He
saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him
again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord
thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time,
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was
grieved because he said unto him the third time,
Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou
knowest all things thou knowest that I love
thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17
We must tell people what sin is, how to be born
again, and how to live holy lives. We must have
the people turn to those scriptures in their own
Bibles to see for themselves that what we are
telling them is in the Bible. By having the
people turn to the scriptures, or show the
scriptures on the projector screen, etc., it will
allow the people to see for themselves that it is
not just something you said, but, what you are
preaching and teaching is actually in the word of
God. It allows people to read the truth for
themselves as it is written in the Bible.
Have people open their Bibles, and read along
with you, to see if what you are reading is the
same as it is written in the Bible. (Preferably
the King James Bible, since many modern bibles
have changed their bibles to fit their beliefs).
18
HOW SHALL THEY HEAR WITHOUT A PREACHER? AND HOW
SHALL THEY PREACH, EXCEPT THEY BE SENT?
Romans 1013-16 For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then
shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of
whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear
without a preacher? And how shall they preach,
except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good
things! But they have not all obeyed the Gospel.
For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our
report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God.
Not everyone who says they are a preacher is sent
by God. You shall know them by their fruit. So
search the scriptures to see if what is being
taught to you is in the word of God. Be not
deceived by false prophets.
19
OUR MESSAGES MUST NOT ONLY BE ENCOURAGING, THEY
MUST ALSO ALLOW THEHOLY GHOST TO CONVICT PEOPLE
OF THEIR SINS CAUSING THEM TO REPENT, AND GIVE
THEIR LIVES TO JESUS, WHO IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN
TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.
Does your message draw people to the Lord? Jesus
said if He be lifted up He will draw all men to
Himself. Do your messages allow the Holy Ghost
to convict people of their sins? Do people
understand your message of salvation, that Jesus
was crucified for our sins, was buried and
resurrected from the dead, and is alive
forevermore? Does your message tell people how to
be born again of the water and of the Spirit? Do
your messages show them the plan of salvation,
regarding repentance, baptism in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and about
being filled with the Holy Ghost, with the
evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit
gives the utterance?
20
People should be encouraged to search the
scriptures for themselves to see if what is being
preached and taught is the same as is recorded in
the word of God. Warn them to use the King James
Bible when using modern bibles to compare and see
if those other bibles are saying the same thing
as The King James Bible. Many modern bibles are
corrupt and have omitted scriptures and/or made
changes to fit their own beliefs.
I have seen week after week, precious souls
sitting on our church pews without being drawn to
the Lord because the salvation scriptures, found
in many places in the book of Acts (and
throughout the Bible), is not being preached. And
if some attempt is made to do so, the scriptures
are read by the pastor or speaker without them
encouraging the people to turn to the scriptures
to see and read for themselves to see if what
they are hearing about being born again is in the
Bible. Often, the messages preached are
sugarcoated to please the hearing of the
listeners.
We should encourage those we are teaching and/or
preaching to, to be like those in Acts 1711.
(they searched the scriptures daily to see if
what was being said is so).
Acts 1711 These were more noble than those in
Thessalonica, in that they received the word with
all readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
21
John 167-9 Nevertheless I tell you the truth
It is expedient for you that I go away for if I
go not away, the Comforter will not come unto
you but if I depart, will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of
sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment Of
sin, because they believe not on me.
JESUS SENT THE HOLY GHOST TO GUIDE US UNTO ALL
TRUTHS, HOW SHALL WE BE LED BY THE SPIRIT IF WE
ARE NOT FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT? THERE IS NO WAY
WE CAN BE, FOR WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST WE
ARE NONE OF HIS. SAYS ROMANS 89.
John 1426 But the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he
shall teach you all things, and bring all things
to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.
John 1613-14 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth
for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever
he shall hear, that shall he speak and he will
shew you things to come. He shall glorify me for
he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto
you.
Romans 89-11 But ye are not in the flesh, but
in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God
dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit
of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in
you, the body is dead because of sin but the
Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if
the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the
dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from
the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by
his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
22
People who are living in sin should not be put in
positions to teach and be a part of your ministry
until they have repented of their sins, been
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of their sins and is filled with the
Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in
tongues as the Spirit gives them the utterance.
It is unfortunate, but many churches are
compromising with those who are sinning. Why?
They probably dont want to lose people who
support their church financially, or dont want
to offend their family members and friends. (We
must be more concerned whether we are offending
God, instead of mankind). Stand for GOD and His
righteousness. GOD will give you people who want
to serve Him. Lets stop making excuses why we
cant preach the truth. Trust GOD to take care of
your ministry, even if everyone who is living in
sin leaves your church (better for you, anyway,
if they dont want to repent and turn from their
sins). We are not to conform to the world, no
matter what other churches or organizations are
allowing. Let it be known that as for you and
your church is concerned we will serve the Lord.
Pastors, teachers, etc., of the Gospel, remember
saints need to have trust in you as their pastor
and/or leader being an example of what God called
you to be HOLY! Living a life that pleases the
Lord.
If you have a small church or even a mega church,
dont become so desperate for more members or
keeping the ones you have, that you allow
anything to be taught or allow just about anyone
or anything to be a part of your ministry. Trust
God to bless your ministry!
23
LOOK AT REVELATIONS 220 TO SEE HOW GOD FELT
ABOUT AN UNGODLY PERSON USED TO TEACH.
Revelation 220 Notwithstanding I have a few
things against thee, because thou sufferest that
woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a
prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to
commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed
unto idols. Revelation 221 And I gave her
space to repent of her fornication and she
repented not.
24
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT. DONT BE PARTAKERS OF SIN
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT. ALWAYS REPRESENT JESUS,
EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO STAND ALONE.

•  1 John 215-17 Love not the world, neither the
  things that are in the world. If any man love
  the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
•  
• Ephesians 21-22 And you hath he quickened,
  who were dead in trespasses and sins  
• Romans 87 Because the carnal mind is enmity
  against God for it is not subject to the law of
  God, neither indeed can be.
• 1 John 24-6 He that saith, I know him, and
  keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the
  truth is not in him.  
• Romans 813 For if ye live after the flesh, ye
  shall die but if ye through the Spirit do
  mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
• Romans 1313 Let us walk honestly, as in the
  day not in rioting and drunkenness, not in
  chambering and wantonness, not in strife and
  envying.
• 2 Peter 15-8 And beside this, giving all
  diligence, add to your faith virtue and to
  virtue knowledge  

1 Corinthians 1021-22 Ye cannot drink the cup
of the Lord, and the cup of devils ye cannot be
partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table
of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?
are we stronger than he? Romans 121-2 I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service. And be not conformed to
this world but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
25
HEY, PLEASE DONT LET YOUR CHURCH BE A PART OF
THE WORLDLY CHURCH!
2 Corinthians 1220 For I fear, lest, when I
come, I shall not find you such as I would, and
that I shall be found unto you such as ye would
not lest there be debates, envyings, wraths,
strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings,
tumults
26
SOME PEOPLE TRULY DO NOT KNOW THAT SOME THINGS
THEY ALLOW IN THEIR LIVES ARE SINFUL. WE MUST
WARN THEM BY SHOWING THEM SCRIPTURES SUCH AS ARE
BELOW
1 Corinthians 69 Know ye not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of
God? Be not deceived neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind.
Romans 1014-15 How then shall they call on him
in whom they have not believed? and how shall
they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear without a preacher? And
how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it
is written, How beautiful are the feet of them
that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad
tidings of good things! 
Galatians 519-21 Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders,
drunkenness, revellings, and such like of the
which I tell you before, as I have also told you
in time past, that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Revelation 218 But the fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers, and
whorenmogers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and
all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone which is
the second death.
27
GOD HATES SIN, BUT HE LOVES THE SINNER SO VERY
MUCH!

• Galatians 516 This I say then, Walk in the
  Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the
  flesh. Galatians 522-26 But the fruit of the
  Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
  gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness,
  temperance against such there is no law. And
  they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh
  with the affections and lusts. If we live in the
  Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us
  not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one
  another, envying one another.

1 Corinthians 1021 Ye cannot drink the cup of
the Lord, and the cup of devils ye cannot be
partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table
of devils. 
GOD does not hate sinners, He loves them very
much, but He is a holy and perfect God, and hates
sin very much, no matter who commits the sin. We
must not tell people that GOD accepts them just
the way they are, and just leave it at that.
Instead, let them know that they may come to the
Lord just the way they are, but He will deliver
them from their sins if they repent of their
sins, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of those sins and allow God to
fill them with the Holy Ghost, which is the
Comforter, to live in them and that the Holy
Ghost will guide them into all truths.
28
WARNING! SUGAR-COATED PREACHING AND TEACHING IS
DANGEROUS TO YOUR SOUL!
Jeremiah 231-2 Woe be unto the pastors that
destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!
saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God
of Israel against the pastors that feed my
people Ye have scattered my flock, and driven
them away, and have not visited them behold, I
will visit upon you the evil of your doings,
saith the LORD.
29
WE MUST HELP THOSE WHO ARE BLINDED BY FALSE
PROPHETS AND CORRUPT BIBLES!

• 2 Corinthians 43 But if our Gospel be hid, it
  is hid to them that are lost
• 2 Corinthians 44 In whom the god of this world
  hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
  lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ,
  who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
• 2 Corinthians 45 For we preach not ourselves,
  but Christ Jesus the Lord and ourselves your
  servants for Jesus' sake.

30
TEACH PEOPLE TO BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS!
1 Peter 58 Be sober, be vigilant because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour Matthew 715
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in
sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening
wolves.
31
AFTER HIS CONVERSION, PAUL SENT TO PREACH TO THE
GENTILES. Acts 2612  Whereupon as I went to
Damascus with authority and commission from the
chief priests,  Acts 2613  At midday, O king, I
saw in the way a light from heaven, above the
brightness of the sun, shining round about me and
them which journeyed with me.  Acts 2614  And
when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a
voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew
tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it
is hard for thee to kick against the
pricks.  Acts 2615  And I said, Who art thou,
Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou
persecutest.  Acts 2616  But rise, and stand
upon thy feet for I have appeared unto thee for
this purpose, to make thee a minister and a
witness both of these things which thou hast
seen, and of those things in the which I will
appear unto thee  Acts 2617  Delivering thee
from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom
now I send thee,  Acts 2618  To open their eyes,
and to turn them from darkness to light, and from
the power of Satan unto God, that they may
receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance
among them which are sanctified by faith that is
in me. 
32
Ministers, preachers, etc., of the Gospel, feed
Gods sheep so that they will know how to
recognize false teachers who sound harmless, but
they are servants of satan, teaching false
messages and sermons that are very deadly to the
souls of mankind.
2 Corinthians 1113-15 For such men are false
apostles, deceitful workers, disguising
themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for
even Satan disguises himself as an angel of
light. Therefore it is not surprising if his
servants also disguise themselves as servants of
righteousness, whose end will be according to
their deeds.
satan is not ugly! he was and is perfectly
beautiful and was so adorned and empowered by God
that he attempted to exalt himself over God! He
comes as an angel of light. And is still
deceiving people today, especially through false
prophets, ministers, and teachers.
2 Peter 21 But there were also prophets among
the people, even as there will be teachers among
you, who will secretly bring in destructive
heresies, . . ."
33
TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO RESIST SATAN WITH GODS HELP!
Matthew 1623 But he turned, and said unto
Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan thou art an
offence unto me for thou savourest not the
things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Matthew 1624 Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, If any man will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
me. Matthew 1625 For whosoever will save his
life shall lose it and whosoever will lose his
life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 1626
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall
a man give in exchange for his soul?
James 47 Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 1
Corinthians 1013 There hath no temptation taken
you but such as is common to man but God is
faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted
above that ye are able but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may
be able to bear it.
34
WARN THOSE WHO HAVE TURNED FROM THE COMMON
SALVATION AND FAITH WHICH WAS ONCE DELIVERED TO
THE SAINTS, AND ARE NOW BELIEVING AND IS INVOLVED
IN FALSE RELIGIONS.
Jude 13-5 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to
write unto you of the common salvation, it was
needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you
that ye should earnestly contend for the faith
which was once delivered unto the saints. For
there are certain men crept in unawares, who were
before of old ordained to this condemnation,
ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God,
and our Lord Jesus Christ. I will therefore put
you in remembrance, though ye once knew this,
how that the Lord, having saved the people out
of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them
that believed not.
35
WARN THE PEOPLE THAT NOT EVERYTHING THAT CALLS
ITSELF CHRISTIAN IS CHRISTIAN!
Jude 14 For there are certain men crept in
unawares, who were before of old ordained to this
condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of
our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only
Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 113  But I fear, lest by any
means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his
subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from
the simplicity that is in Christ. 
36
Paul and the False Apostles 2 Corinthians 112 
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy
for I have espoused you to one husband, that I
may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.  2
Corinthians 113  But I fear, lest by any means,
as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ. 
2 Corinthians 1113  For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into
the apostles of Christ.  2 Corinthians 1114 
And no marvel for Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light.   2 Corinthians 1115 
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers
also be transformed as the ministers of
righteousness whose end shall be according to
their works. 
37
WARN PEOPLE TO BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS. THEY
ONLY APPEAR TO BE MEN OF GOD.
John 842-47 Jesus said unto them, If God were
your Father, ye would love me for I proceeded
forth and came from God neither came I of
myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand
my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of
your father ye will do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own for he is
a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell
you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you
convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why
do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth
God's words ye therefore hear them not, because
ye are not of God.
38
THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH EVEN IF NO ONE BELIEVES
IT, A LIE IS A LIE EVEN IF EVERYONE BELIEVES IT!
Unfortunately, many people fall in the category
of believing a lie, to the detriment of their
souls. We must pray that God softens their heart,
by giving them a desire to receive the salvation
that He offers to everyone who believes in him.
39
SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD!
40
HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP WITH EVIL DOERS, BUT REPROVE
THEM.
By reproving them, we are showing them we love
them enough to tell them about sin and the truth
about Jesus that He will deliver them from
their sins and give them eternal life.
41
PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY,
ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE
SERVICE.
Romans 121-10 I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
unto God, which is your reasonable service. And
be not conformed to this world but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.
42
WITHOUT HOLINESS, NO MAN SHALL SEE GOD!
43
WE ARE TO BE HOLY AND ENCOURAGE THE BODY OF
CHRIST TO BE HOLY.

• Leviticus 207 Sanctify yourselves therefore,
  and be ye holy
• for I am the LORD your God.
• 1 Peter 115 But as he which hath called you is
  holy, so be ye holy in all manner of
  conversation
• 1 Peter 116 Because it is written,
• Be ye holy for I am holy.

Acts 2618 To open their eyes, and to turn them
from darkness to light, and from the power of
Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness
of sins, and inheritance among them which are
sanctified by faith that is in me.
44
Perfection of saints should be the goal of every
Christian! The Churchs responsibility is to
perfect born again saints. If the church is not
being a pattern for others to follow Jesus, it is
a weak or corrupt Church.
No one is perfect is a convenient excuse for sins
and failures. People who believe this lie,
oftentimes used this phrase as an excuse, or to
justify their sins and mistakes. If you believe
that "no one is perfect," then you will not aim
for excellence, for perfection! Then, you will
settle for less then what God wants you to be. In
other words, if you believe in the "no one is
perfect" lie, you will not grow spiritually, and
you will fail to achieve the FULL POTENTIAL to
become a perfect son or daughter of GOD THE
FATHER, who is PERFECT! Matthew 548 Be ye
therefore perfect, even as your Father which is
in heaven is perfect.
45
Perfection of saints should be the goal of every
Christian! The Churchs responsibility is to
perfect born again saints.
What? GOD said be perfect and he also said be
holy? I heard a preacher say it was okay to be
imperfect. Did I misunderstand him?
GOD SAID Matthew 548 Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect.
GOD SAID BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY 1 Peter 116 
Because it is written, Be ye holy for I am
holy.

GOD ALSO SAID BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT, EVEN AS
YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT
Matthew 548 Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Ephesians 411  And he gave some, apostles and
some, prophets and some, evangelists and some,
pastors and teachers  Ephesians 412  For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying of the body of
Christ  Ephesians 413  Till we all come in the
unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure
of the stature of the fulness of
Christ  Ephesians 414  That we henceforth be no
more children, tossed to and fro, and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight
of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie
in wait to deceive  Ephesians 415  But speaking
the truth in love, may grow up into him in all
things, which is the head, even
Christ  Ephesians 416  From whom the whole body
fitly joined together and compacted by that which
every joint supplieth, according to the effectual
working in the measure of every part, maketh
increase of the body unto the edifying of itself
in love. 
Perfection of saints should be the goal of every
Christian! The Churchs responsibility is to
perfect born again saints.
47
GOD ALSO SAID BE YE HOLY FOR I ALM HOLY
1 Peter 113  Wherefore gird up the loins of your
mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace
that is to be brought unto you at the revelation
of Jesus Christ  1 Peter 114  As obedient
children, not fashioning yourselves according to
the former lusts in your ignorance  1 Peter
115  But as he which hath called you is holy, so
be ye holy in all manner of conversation  1
Peter 116  Because it is written, Be ye holy
for I am holy.  1 Peter 117  And if ye call on
the Father, who without respect of persons
judgeth according to every man's work, pass the
time of your sojourning here in fear  1 Peter
118  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not
redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and
gold, from your vain conversation received by
tradition from your fathers  1 Peter 119  But
with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot  1 Peter 120 
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation
of the world, but was manifest in these last
times for you,  1 Peter 121  Who by him do
believe in God, that raised him up from the dead,
and gave him glory that your faith and hope
might be in God.  1 Peter 122  Seeing ye have
purified your souls in obeying the truth through
the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren,
see that ye love one another with a pure heart
fervently  1 Peter 123  Being born again, not
of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the
word of God, which liveth and abideth for
ever.  1 Peter 124  For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof
falleth away  1 Peter 125  But the word of the
Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word
which by the gospel is preached unto you. 
48
OUR LIVES SHOULD BE A PATTERN OF GOOD WORKS,
ALLOWING THE SAVED AND THE UNSAVED TO KNOW HOW
TO LIVE FOR THE LORD.

• Titus 116 Howbeit for this cause I obtained
  mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew
  forth all longsuffering,
• for a pattern to them which should hereafter
  believe on him to life everlasting.
• Titus 27 In all things shewing thyself a
  pattern of good works in doctrine shewing
  uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

49

• John 812 Then spake Jesus again unto them,
  saying,
• I am the light of the world
• he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
  but shall have the light of life.

50
WE MUST LET OUR LIGHTS SHINE BY LIVING GODLY
LIVES, SO THAT THE UNSAVED CAN SEE JESUS IN US.

• Matthew 513-15 Ye are the salt of the earth
  but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
  shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for
  nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden
  under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world.
  A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a
  bushel, but on a candlestick and it giveth light
  unto all that are in the house.

51
Let your light so shine before men,.... Light was
not given merely for their own private use, but
for the public good of mankind and therefore, as
they were placed as lights in the world, they
were to hold forth, in the most open and
conspicuous manner, the word of light and life
that they may see your good works meaning their
zeal and fervency their plainness and openness
their sincerity, faithfulness, and integrity
their courage and intrepidity their diligence,
industry, and indefatigableness in preaching the
Gospel their strict regard to truth, the honour
of Christ, and the good of souls as also their
very great care and concern to recommend the
doctrines of grace, by their example in their
lives and conversations and glorify your Father
which is in heaven that is, that when the
ministration of the Gospel has been blessed, for
the illumination of the minds of men, to a
thorough conviction of their state and for their
regeneration, conversion, sanctification, and
comfort they may give praise to God, and bless
his name for qualifying and sending such Gospel
ministers to show unto them the way of salvation
and that the word has been made useful to them
for communicating spiritual light, life, joy, and
comfort. (Gill Commentary)
MATTHEW 517
52
WE MUST BE EXAMPLES FOR PEOPLE SEEKING GOD. IF
WE ACT AND LOOK LIKE THE WORLD, HOW ARE PEOPLE
GOING TO KNOW THAT WE ARE DIFFERENT?

• Titus 214 Who gave himself for us, that he might
  redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto
  himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
  
• 1 Peter 29 But ye are a chosen generation, a
  royal priesthood, an holy nation,
• a peculiar people that ye should shew forth the
  praises of him who hath called you out of
  darkness into his marvellous light

Peculiar Different from other people.
Particular special to God.
53
John 724 Judge not according to the appearance,
but judge righteous judgment.
WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU NOT TO JUDGE WHEN YOU SEE
SIN IN THE CHURCH, SHOW THEM THE SCRIPTURE IN
JOHN 724.
54
Pastor, ministers, teachers, etc., of the Word of
God, we all must preach and teach the Gospel that
can save people. We must not compromise the
Gospel, that was once delivered to the saints,
which was given to them by Jesus Christ, who He
Himself opened their understanding to understand
the scriptures and they are to preach and teach
that Gospel to us (which they did throughout the
book of Acts) and as written throughout the rest
of the Bible.
55
WHY ARE WE LOSING SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE, WHO WERE
RAISED IN THE CHURCH, TO THE WORLD?
Something is definitely wrong when a pastor tells
his congregation and visitors that God accepts
them just the way they are? Something is wrong
when Gods people, are not concerned about the
ungodliness that is allowed in the church, and if
they do show concern, the pastor and members may
rebuke them, telling them not to judge people.
(even though the Bible in John 724 tells us
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge
righteous judgment). They make the saints feel
guilty for being bothered by the ungodliness that
they see are tolerated in the church? Something
is wrong when a pastor tells his congregation,
Can I ask you something will you allow me to
backslide sometimes? Whaaatttttttt? Doesnt the
word of God say be holy for I am holy and be
perfect for I am perfect? We must STOP making
people feel it is okay for them to yield
themselves to sin because God loves them just
the way they are. Instead, lets tell them that
God does love them and sees their struggles and
will deliver them from their sins if they will
surrender themselves to Him.
56
IF WE DONT TEACH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO FOLLOW
CHRIST, THE WORLD WILL TEACH THEM NOT TO.
Are we losing a lot of young people because sin
is seldom named or mentioned or preached about in
our churches and in our homes? We must
constantly and continually preach and teach the
Gospel to our young people (and to those of all
ages), what it means to be holy, perfect, and
righteous before God.
Parents, the Church cannot be the only
opportunity to reach your young people. You must
do your part to teach your children about God and
what sin is, so that your children dont just go
about doing what comes natural to the flesh SIN.
57
WE MUST PREACH AND TEACH THE SAME THINGS THE
DISCIPLES PREACHED
Acts 237-39 Now when they heard this, they were
pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your
children, and to all that are afar off, even as
many as the Lord our God shall call.
Luke 2445-49 Then opened he their
understanding, that they might understand the
scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is
written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer,
and to rise from the dead the third day And that
repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in his name among all nations, beginning
at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these
things. And, behold, I send the promise of my
Father upon you but tarry ye in the city of
Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on
high.
Mark 1615-17 And he said unto them, Go ye into
all the world, and preach the Gospel to every
creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved but he that believeth not shall be
damned. And these signs shall follow them that
believe In my name shall they cast out devils
they shall speak with new tongues
The name that Jesus was referring to in Matthew
2819 was His own name (Jesus) for the remission
of sins. The name was first used to baptize
people in on the day of Pentecost as shown in
Acts 238. Nowhere in the Bible were the titles
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, used by the
disciples of Jesus when baptizing people. The
only name they baptized people in was in the name
of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.
Remember, Jesus opened the disciples
understanding and told them to teach all nations
teaching us to observe all that He commanded them
to do and they did.
58
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE PERSON WITH THE TITLES?
THE NAME IS JESUS. AND THAT IS THE ONLY NAME
THAT JESUS DISCIPLES BAPTIZED PEOPLE IN.
Acts 412  Neither is there salvation in any
other for there is none other name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved. 
Matthew 2819-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen. Mark
1615-17 And he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world, and preach the Gospel to every
creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved but he that believeth not shall be
damned. And these signs shall follow them that
believe In my name shall they cast out devils
they shall speak with new tongues Luke 2445-47
Then opened he their understanding, that they
might understand the scriptures, And said unto
them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the
third day And that repentance and remission of
sins should be preached in his name among all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem. NOTICE That on
the day of Pentecost, beginning at Jerusalem,
(Acts 238) Peter began obeying the command (not
repeating it) given to him and the other
disciples by Jesus. Acts 238 Then Peter said
unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift
of the Holy Ghost.
59
WE MUST TEACH PEOPLE THAT THE NAME TO USE WHEN
BAPTIZING PEOPLE IS IN HIS OWN NAME JESUS.
WHY? FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS.
Matthew 2819-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen. Mark
1615-17 And he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world, and preach the Gospel to every
creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved but he that believeth not shall be
damned. And these signs shall follow them that
believe In my name shall they cast out devils
they shall speak with new tongues Luke
2444-48 And he said unto them, These are the
words which I spake unto you, while I was yet
with you, that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the law of Moses, and in
the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Then opened he their understanding, that they
might understand the scriptures, And said unto
them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the
third day And that repentance and remission of
sins should be preached in his name among all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are
witnesses of these things. Luke 2449 And,
behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye
be endued with power from on high. Acts 238-39
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the
promise is unto you, and to your children, and to
all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord
our God shall call. Acts 412 Neither is there
salvation in any other for there is none other
name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.
60
WE MUST PREACH AND TEACH THE SAME THINGS THE
DISCIPLES PREACHED!
Beginning at Jerusalem, on the day of Pentecost,
the disciples began obeying the command given to
them in Matthew 2819, Mark 1615-17, Luke
2445-49, by baptizing people in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.(read Acts
238-39)
Why do so many churches refuse to use the name
of Jesus Christ when baptizing people? Probably
because of the tradition of men, ignoring what
actually happened in the book of Acts that shows
how the disciples obeyed the command given to
them by Jesus in Matthew 2819, Mark 1615-17,
Luke 2445-49. They knew the name was JESUS. THAT
IS WHY THEY ONLY BAPTIZED PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF
JESUS CHRIST, NOT IN THE TITLES Father, Son,
Holy Ghost.
61
Luke 1510  Likewise, I say unto you, there is
joy in the presence of the angels of God over
one sinner that repenteth. 
Lord, please forgive me of all my sins.
62
LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY MUST BE BORN OF THE
WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT. JOHN 33-7 AND MATTHEW
2819-20 WAS FULFILLED IN ACTS 238 AND IN OTHER
PLACES IN THE BOOK OF ACTS.
John 33-7 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born
when he is old? can he enter the second time into
his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God. That which is born of
the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto
thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth
where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and
whither it goeth so is every one that is born of
the Spirit.
Matthew 2819-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen. Acts
238-39 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and
be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the
promise is unto you, and to your children, and to
all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord
our God shall call.
63
IF A PERSON IS NOT FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF
CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS
Romans 81, 5-14 There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind
the things of the flesh but they that are after
the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be
carnally minded is death but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then
they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But
ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so
be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if
any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none
of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead
because of sin but the Spirit is life because of
righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that
raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he
that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that
dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are
debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the
flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall
die but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the
deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as
are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons
of God.
64
THE HOLY GHOST IS THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE,
THAT DWELLS IN THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH
THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, AND IF ANY MAN (OR WOMAN)
HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.
2 Corinthians 121-22  Now he which stablisheth
us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is
God Who hath also sealed us, and given the
earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Ephesians
113 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye
heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your
salvation in whom also after that ye believed,
ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 430 And grieve not the Holy Spirit
of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of
redemption.
65
LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO PEOPLE ON THE
DAY OF PENTECOST, AND THAT IT IS STILL HAPPENING
TODAY. EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT THEY, TOO, CAN BE
FILLED WITH GODS SPIRIT, FOR IT IS A PROMISE TO
EVERYONE.
Acts 21-4 And when the day of Pentecost was
fully come, they were all with one accord in one
place. And suddenly there came a sound from
heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled
all the house where they were sitting. And there
appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of
fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were
all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance.
Acts 237 Now when they heard this, they were
pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
what shall we do? Acts 238 Then Peter said unto
them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost. Acts 239 For the promise is unto you,
and to your children, and to all that are afar
off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
66
AND GOD, WHICH KNOWETH THE HEARTS, BARE THEM
WITNESS, GIVING THEM THE HOLY GHOST, EVEN AS HE
DID UNTO US
Luke 1113 If ye then, being evil, know how to
give good gifts unto your children how much more
shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit
to them that ask him? Acts 412 Neither is
there salvation in any other for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby
we must be saved. Acts 532 And we are his
witnesses of these things and so is also the
Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey
him. Acts 1044-48 While Peter yet spake these
words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which
heard the word. And they of the circumcision
which believed were astonished, as many as came
with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was
poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they
heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water,
that these should not be baptized, which have
received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he
commanded them to be baptized in the name of the
Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Acts 1115-16 And as I began to speak, the
Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the
beginning. Then remembered I the word of the
Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with
water but ye shall be baptized with the Holy
Ghost. Acts 1352 And the disciples were
filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. Acts
158 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare
them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as
he did unto us
67
WITNESSING TO PEOPLE ABOUT THE GOSPEL IS NOT AN
ISSUE TO BE LAZY WITH, OR CUT CORNERS!

• Now a days, it is no surprise to hear people say
  Im born again
• I know Jesus I love God I go to church
  Ive accepted Jesus in my heart.
• (James 217-20 Even so faith, if it hath not
  works, is dead, being alone.
• Loving God and going to church are things we must
  do, but our good works cannot save us.
• (Titus 35 Not by works of righteousness which we
  have done, but according to his mercy he saved
  us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing
  of the Holy Ghost).
• As representatives of Gods Gospel, we have the
  responsibility to communicate a message upon
  which peoples souls rest.
• If the message is not being given or received
  successfully it will be the greatest message
  disaster in someones life. This is not an issue
  to be lazy with or to cut corners.
• Better to be sure that the message is understood
  than to justify a weak testimony as covering up
  someones ignorance of the Gospel. It is most
  important to determine the clearness of the
  Gospel. People cannot believe what they do not
  hear.
• (Romans 1017 So then faith cometh by hearing,
  and hearing by the word of God.)

68
It can be disappointing when trying to share the
Gospel to some people who dont want to hear it.
But, dont stop trying. The field of lost souls
is huge. God will send you to someone who will
listen, or he will send them to you. The work
you do for the Lord is not in vain.
Awww, Im so sorry, I dont have the time to
listen to you talk about Jesus right now. Maybe
later.
69
Dont be discouraged. If one person will not
listen to the GOOD NEWS, which is the GOSPEL OF
JESUS CHRIST HIS DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION
FROM THE DEAD, that you want to share with them,
the Lord will always open other opportunities for
you to tell other people about His Son Jesus.
Always follow-up on those who are open to your
witnessing about Jesus. Let them know you really
care about their souls and where they will spend
eternity.
70
BE WISE, DONT FRIGHTEN PEOPLE WITH YOUR
ENTHUSIASM TO REACH THEM. YOU MIGHT FRIGHTEN
THEM, CAUSING THEM TO THINK YOU ARE A STRANGE AND
FRIGHTFUL PERSON. REMEMBER, HE THAT WINS SOULS
IS WISE.
71
DONT FRIGHTEN PEOPLE WITH YOUR ENTHUSIASM TO
REACH THEM. THIS CAN FRIGHTEN THEM AND THEY WILL
THINK YOU ARE A STRANGE AND FRIGHTFUL PERSON. HE
THAT WINS SOULS IS WISE.
I have seen something similar to this happen in a
church. The person who went to the altar to get
