GETTING SALVATION RIGHT - ALBERT ELISHA OBERDORFER
It is vital that we follow the doctrine of the first apostles. In particular, when it comes to bringing people to the Lord. What do we see in Acts? We see the disciples preaching the gospel with Holy Spirit firepower. We see people, who believe, get baptized. WE SEE PEOPLE GETTING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. We see them speak in other tongues. And in cases where people do not believe yet, or they haven’t got baptized yet, or they haven’t received the Holy Spirit yet, we see the first disciples help those people. - By preaching to them, as Paul preached to the Ephesians in Acts 19. - By baptizing them, as Philip baptized the Samarians in Acts 8. - By praying for them to receive the Holy Spirit, as Peter and John prayed for the Samarians in Acts 8. And what terminology do the apostles use when they talk about those events later? Get a crystal-clear picture of how to bring a person to the Lord. SO THAT YOU CAN GIVE NEW BELIEVERS A GOOD HEAD START IN THEIR WALK WITH THE LORD.

[2 Corinthians 2:17]<br />
For we are not, as so many, peddling<br />
the word of God; but as of sincerity,<br />
but as from God, we speak in the sight<br />
of God in Christ.<br />
Paul was a steward of the Word of God.<br />
A faithful steward.<br />
And so were the other writers of Scripture.<br />
Like Luke who faithfully recorded the<br />
events in the book of Acts.With medical<br />
accuracy. Paul says,<br />
[1 Corinthians 4:1-2]<br />
1 Let a man so consider us, as servants<br />
of Christ and STEWARDS OF THE<br />
MYSTERIES OF GOD.<br />
2 Moreover it is required in stewards<br />
that one be found FAITHFUL.<br />
