Subject: IS TONGUES FOR TODAY? |
Bible Note: There is more than just one requirement for salvation. If you just believe in Jesus and you are saved then what are you being saved from ... you still have sin in your life, you still live a terrible life, and you put no more interest in God than just, "Oh, yea i believe He is up there." Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Luke 13:3,5 say something like if you have sin in your heart you are going to perish? Now, the Bible does say that when you believe you are saved as we see in John 3:16 and Acts 16:31 but it doesn't stop there. Jesus said the same thing in John 3:3, but Jesus went a little further and said that in order to be born again you must be born of the water and of the Spirit(John 3:5). Peter did all of us a favor and sumed up Salvation in Acts 2:38 when he said Repent and be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. That is Salvation. I didnt make it up. It's in the Bible. |
