  2. INTRODUCTION WE HAVE AN ADVERSARY SEEKING TO DESTROY OUR SOULS HE SLANDERS MAN AND GOD HE EMPLOYS SUBTLE DEADLY DECEPTION

  3. “NOTS” IN THE DEVIL’S TALE 16 “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Mark 16:16 (NASB95) “HE THAT BELIEVES AND IS NOT BAPTIZED WILL BE SAVED”

  4. “NOTS” IN THE DEVIL’S TALE “THE OMISSION OF BAPTIZED WITH “DISBELIEVETH” WOULD SEEM TO SHOW THAT JESUS DOES NOT MAKE BAPTISM ESSENTIAL TO SALVATION. CONDEMNATION RESTS ON DISBELIEF, NOT ON BAPTISM. SO SALVATION RESTS ON BELIEF. BAPTISM IS MERELY THE PICTURE OF THE NEW LIFE NOT THE MEANS OF SECURING IT. SO SERIOUS A SACRAMENTAL DOCTRINE WOULD NEED STRONGER SUPPORT ANYHOW THAN THIS DISPUTED PORTION OF MARK.” (WORD PICTURES, ROBINSON) 16 “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Mark 16:16 (NASB95)

  5. “NOTS” IN THE DEVIL’S TALE THIS VERSE IS FREQUENTLY USED BY BAPTISMAL REGENERATIONISTS TO SHOW THAT BAPTISM IS NECESSARY FOR SALVATION.  IT SAYS HE WHO BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED WILL BE SAVED.  THEREFORE, THEY CONCLUDE THAT BAPTISM IS A NECESSARY PART OF BECOMING SAVED.  BUT, DOES THIS VERSE PROVE THAT BAPTISM IS NECESSARY FOR SALVATION?  NOT AT ALL. (MATT SLICK WWW.CARM.ORG) 16 “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Mark 16:16 (NASB95)

  6. “NOTS” IN THE DEVIL’S TALE IN MY TEXT, WHILE IT SAYS, “HE WHO BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED,” YET, WHEN THE CONDEMNATION IS ANNOUNCED, IT IS SIMPLY, “HE WHO BELIEVES NOT SHALL BE DAMNED,” AND THE MATTER OF BAPTISM IS NOT MENTIONED, FOR THERE ARE MANY WHO BELIEVE, BUT WHO ARE NOT BAPTIZED, AND WHO CANNOT BE—AS THE DYING THIEF, FOR INSTANCE—YET ARE THEY ASSUREDLY SAVED. NEVERTHELESS, HERE STANDS MY TEXT AND I CANNOT ALTER IT, “HE WHO BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED.” (CHARLES SPURGEON) 16 “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Mark 16:16 (NASB95)

  17. “NOTS” IN THE DEVIL’S TALE We do not need them [instruments in worship]. They would hinder rather than help our praise. Sing unto him. This is the sweetest and best music.
