Grace Fellowship Church www. GraceDoctrine Grace Fellowship Church www.GraceDoctrine.org Pastor / Teacher James H. Rickard Tuesday, January 22, 2008 Title Page Below are some simple instructions on how to use this template: 1. You can change the text in the graphical screen above or in the outline area to the left. 2. There is one default background that is indicated by “--------” .This slide acts as a space or a blank screen, use to clear or blank the screen. If you have a large graphic such as a map you could also use this screen. If you insert a new slide you will get this default background. 3. The first five slides have the other backgrounds for the set. To use more than one of these background types in your presentation highlight the one you wish to use and choose copy from the edit menu. Paste this slide where you want it to appear in your presentation, then change the text on this new slide. By copy/pasting the slide in this manor you will keep the background, text formatting and the customized animation from that slide. By using the copy/paste method you find it saves you time and keeps a consistent look through out your presentation. 4.There are a few additional notes written in the slide text wording that may be helpful. Note: We are working on a website that in the future will provide help topics on using sermon outlines in PowerPoint as well as provide sermon templates similar to this one.

Memory Verse 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
The Upper Room Discourse John 13-16; John 13:9-10, Judas’ Last Chance
Bathed - LOUO is used as the illustration of salvation, while wash - NIPTO is used for rebound.
Sin and carnality do not mean a believer must be saved again.
“The feet” PODAS, tell us there is no fellowship when the believer is defiled by sin. You cannot walk with God, while having dirty feet.
“But is completely clean”, means we are to be assured of our eternal security, through the bathing we received at the moment of our salvation.
Our Lord doubly emphasized this with, “and you are clean”.
"But not all of you", identifies that some in the room are NOT saved - Judas Iscariot.
1) The others came with dirty feet but Judas came without a bath 1) The others came with dirty feet but Judas came without a bath. Therefore, this message is not pertinent to him or the unbeliever.
2) Salvation is not a result of blessing by association 2) Salvation is not a result of blessing by association. You can not be saved because you hang out with Christians. Acts 16:31-34
It is a personal and individual decision and responsibility to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, for your very own salvation. No one else can do it for you. John 3:16, 36
Jesus knew that Judas never believed, was filled with Cosmic thinking, under demonic influence, John 13:2, and would betray Him under demon possession, vs. 27.

Vs. 11, Not everyone has taken a bath (LOUO) for salvation and become clean, therefore not everyone will receive the benefits from this type of washing (NIPTO).
"Knew", Jesus always knew that Judas Iscariot was and would remain an unbeliever.
“Who was betraying”, the betrayal hasn’t occurred yet, but Jesus knows that it will.
"For this reason", knowledge is power to do or say a right thing in a right way.
“He said, 'not all of you are clean'”, Judas never came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. See vs 18.
The last message Judas received was the washing away of sins by our Lord.
The basis for NIPTO cleansing, is the same as the LOUO bathing for the unbeliever's salvation, the Cross at Calvary.
In grace, our Lord gives Judas one last chance for salvation even though He knows Judas' hard heart.
Never make up your mind about someone's faith Never make up your mind about someone's faith. Always continue to present the gospel and let God take it from there.
