into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a
new and living way, which he hath consecrated
for us, through the veil, that is to say, his
flesh 21 And having an high priest over the
house of God 22 Let us draw near with a true
heart in full assurance of faith, having our
hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and
our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us
hold fast the profession of our faith without
wavering (for he is faithful that promised)

DEFINITIONS
Heb. 1026-29
26 For if we sin willfully AFTER that we have
received the knowledge of the truth, there
remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a
certain fearful looking for of judgment and
fiery indignation, which shall devour the
adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses' law died
without mercy under two or three witnesses 29
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall
he be thought worthy, who

Heb. 1026-29
29 who hath trodden under foot the Son of God,
and hath counted the blood of the covenant,
wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing,
and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance
belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the
Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his

OPPONENT'S PROPOSITION
Affirmed Oct 2005 by Roger Holland
The Scriptures teach that one is saved before
and without water baptism.
Was not Abraham our father justified by works,
when he had offered Isaac his son upon
the altar? (James 221)
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith
without works is dead? (James 220).

beasts also. 12 And the LORD spake unto Moses
and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to
sanctify me in the eyes of the children of
Israel, THEREFORE ye shall not bring this
congregation into the land which I have given
them. 24 for he shall not enter into the land
which I have given unto the children of Israel,
because ye rebelled against my word at the water
of Meribah.(Num. 208-12)

mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a
wise man, which built his house upon a rock 25
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house and it
fell not for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And
every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and
doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish
man, which built his house upon the sand 27 And

these are such as in an honest and good heart,
having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring

and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler
over his household, to give them their portion of
meat in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant,
whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing. 44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he
will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord
delayeth his coming and shall begin to beat the
menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink,
and to be drunken 46 The lord of that servant
will come in a day when he looketh not for him,

CONDITIONAL LIFE
BELIEVES IS PRESENT TENSE
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in

life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world
to condemn the world but that the world
through him might be saved. 18 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

24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said

If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed
not the works that I do in my Father's name,
they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not,
because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto
you.

Father, which gave them me, is greater than all
and no man is able to pluck them out of my
Father's hand.

Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment,
what I should say, and what I should speak. 50
And I know that his commandment is life
everlasting whatsoever I speak therefore, even

5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria,

Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles
which he did 8 And there was great joy in that
city. 9 But there was a certain man, called
Simon, which beforetime in the same city used
sorcery... 12 But when they believed Philip
preaching the things concerning the kingdom of
God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were

saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands
the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on
whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy
Ghost.

hast neither part nor lot in this matter for thy
heart is not right in the sight of God. 22
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray
God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be
FORGIVEN thee. 23 For I perceive that thou art
in the gall of bitterness, and in the BOND OF

CONDITIONAL GRACE
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of
righteousness by faith. 6 For in Jesus Christ
neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision but faith which worketh by
love. 7 Ye did run well who did hinder you that
ye should not obey the truth? 8 This persuasion
cometh not of him that calleth you.

1. WHO - Those MADE FREE by Christ, have hope
   faith, the called!
2. CONDITION Stand fast, keep obeying.
3. WARNING You can FALL from GRACE!

Gal. 516-19
CONDITIONAL GRACE
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye
shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 19 Now
the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
these Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, 21 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.
To Stay Away From Sin Condemnation, You Must
WALK In The Spirit!

flesh and of the mind and were by nature the

so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him,
even as truth is in Jesus 22 that ye put away,
as concerning your former manner of life, the old
man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of
deceit 23 and that ye be renewed in the spirit
of your mind, 24 and put on the new man, that
after God hath been created in righteousness and
