  5. Do Must What I To be Saved Confused: Not what we think, feel, hear, dream It is not rejecting the Grace of God GRACE is received through Faith - Eph. 2:8 Water received through Pipes No Pipes = No water No faith = No Grace

  6. Do Must What I To be Saved Faith is a Work John 6:28-29 “This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Acts 10:34-35 “worketh righteousness” Ps.119:172 “all thy commandments are righteousness” To work righteousness is to work commands of God, and to work in order to salvation is to do what God commands Matt. 7:21 “He that doeth the will of my Father”

  7. Do Must What I To be Saved God Saves - - - Not Man Devising a plan as futile as building tower of Babel In one sense man saves himself Acts 2:40 “Save yourselves from this untoward generation.” God Directs - - - - - Man Obeys.

  9. Answers on Different Occasions Acts 2:38 “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins” Faith had been established through preaching Told to: Repent Baptized Mark 16:15-16 “for” = in order to obtain Remission = freedom from guilt

  10. Answers on Different Occasions Acts 9:6 “Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.” Jesus made himself known to Paul - v. 5 Told to go to Damascus - v. 6 Told to be baptized - Acts 22:16 “And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Why are there different Answers?
