301: Have you been Baptized with The Wrong Baptism?
Probably your study of the Bible has led you to realize that one of God's requirements is that you be baptized. As a God-fearing person you want, I know, to be certain that your baptism is pleasing to God. Likely you have already noted the divergent views people hold regarding baptism. How are you to know what is right? Since the Bible is the means by which God and His Son, Jesus, have spoken to us, we must find clear directives in the Bible itself. If you are to know whether your baptism is Christ-approved, you must measure it by what the Bible says about three questions: First - What is baptism? Second - Who should be baptized? Third-Why should ... Now, look at question three: Why should one be baptized? It is good to acknowledge the simple answer given by Peter, a messenger of Jesus, when heart stricken sinners cried, "What shall we do?". He answered, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the ... ...

302: Eliade, Mircea: Encyclopedia of Religion
... in God, who out of love creates humanity for union with God, who through Jesus Christ redeems the world, and in the power of the Holy Spirit transforms and divinizes (2 Cor. 3:18). The heart of trinitarian theology is the conviction that the God revealed in Jesus Christ is involved faithfully and unalterably in covenanted relationship with the world. Christianity is not unique in believing God is "someone" rather than 11 something," but it is unique in its belief that Christ is the personal Word of God, and that through Christ's death and resurrection into new life, "God was in Christ reconciling all things to God" (2 Cor. 5:19). Christ is not looked upon as an intermediary between God and world but as an essential agent of salvation. ... The Stoic distinction between the immanent word (logos endiathetos) and the expressed word (logos prophorikos) provided a way for Justin Martyr (d. 163/ 165) and others to explain how Christ had preexisted as the immanent word in the Father's mind and ... ...

303: The 7 Promises Of God to Man
Sometimes we forget, sometimes we are negligent, and sometimes it may be due to circumstances beyond our control. A brokenhearted young lady will often say, "But he promised to marry me". And the answer comes back: "Yes, but I changed my mind". People do change their mind, and they do break their promises. What about the ... There were more than 500 brethren at one time who bore witness to the fulfillment of this promise according to I Corinthians 15:1-6. What can be said about God's promises to us? He has promised to supply every need we have. The Bible says: "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". That's Phillipians 4:19. Now notice, God has obligated Himself only to the extent of our needs. That would include food, clothing, shelter, companionship, love, and salvation thru Jesus Christ. It would not include the multiplicity of luxuries that we have come to think of as needs. God has promised that His grace is sufficient for us. ... ...

He ... He even excuses their sinful conduct before God on Judgement day: "God . . . no where hath said, That Men shall be condemned for their ungovernable Thoughts, over which they have no dominion".

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" John 14: 6. Now what could this possibly mean if sincerity alone is sufficient?

Although they were devout, they had participated in the crucifixion of the Lord. On learning of their sin, they were (as the Bible says) "pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, 'Men and brethren, what shall we do?"' (verse 37). They now realized that they were guilty before the Lord God. And as they were searching for a cleansing from this guilt, Peter said to them, "Repent and ... ...
