Bible Note: Greetings, JMSCOTT. The Bible says... 'that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; "THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD."' [Romans 10:9-18 NASB] In my opinion, you have some serious problems with your belief system. God reveals Himself to mankind today through the preaching of His Word. 'And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."' [Mark 16:15-16 NASB] Men will be saved or lost in this age depending on their response to the preaching of the Word of God, as it is specifically declared to us in the Bible. 'Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.' [1 John 4:1 NASB] We must subject every spirit and doctrine to the test of the Word of God, as it is written in the Bible. Anything else is heterodoxy or heresy. I do not presume to "have authority over everyone." But I am not ashamed of the fact that I have been called by Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel. 'For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."' [Romans 1:16-17 NASB] I have read the 2nd chapter of 1st Corinthians more times than I can recall. I believe it and heartily suggest that the reason people have trouble with this topic is found in this very chapter, specifically in verse 14. Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Preacher |
