  1. Confident of Our Salvation! “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?....” 2 Corinthians 13:5

  2. God’s Grace • Is conditional – Commands must be obeyed • Hebrews 5:9; Joshua 6:2 • Can be understood • Ephesians 3:1-4; 2 Timothy 3:14-17 • “Spirit” and “Truth” are required • John 4:23-24 • Can KNOW if we are God’s faithful children • 1 John 5:11-13

  3. “faith only” Doctrine of Man • Be careful what we accept • Matthew 15:8-9; James 2:17, 24 • One receives remission of sins at the point of faith, prior to baptism. • Faith is a gift of God, something God does “to” us rather than something we choose. Many Teach

  4. Examples of Conversion: • Ethiopian Eunuch(Acts 8:26-39) • Paul(Acts 22:1-16) • Philippian Jailer(Acts 16:25-34) “Rejoicing” came AFTER the act of baptism “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.”(2 Tim 4:6-8)
