The Whole Counsel Involves: Difficult Things –Acts 20:19-20 –2 Corinthians 11:24-28 Serious Things –Acts 20:26 Beneficial Things –Acts 20:20 Doctrinal Things –Acts 19:1-5; 23-26

What Did the Ephesians Do? Heard and Believed –Ephesians 1:13 Repented –Acts 20:21 Baptized –Acts 19:1-5 THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD

GRACEFAITHWORKS GRACE - FAITH - WORKS “By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.” (Hebrews 11:30) PRINCIPLE: Doing what God commands does not GraceFaith take away from Grace or Faith Joshua 6:2 – “Grace” – Given Joshua 6:20 – “Work” is the result of “Faith” The city was given by GRACE. The walls fell by FAITH after WORKS (obedience) THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD

GRACE FAITH WORKS GRACE - FAITH - WORKS “So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” (2 Kings 5:14) “Cleansed AFTER Obedience” GRACE: GRACE: Your leprosy will be cleansed FAITH: FAITH: Hearing and trusting in the message of God WORK: WORK: Dipped 7 times and was cleansed THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD

Denominational Error “We are accounted righteous before God only for the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, by faith, and not for our own works or deserving. Wherefore, that we are justified by faith only is a most wholesome doctrine and very full of comfort” “We are accounted righteous before God only for the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, by faith, and not for our own works or deserving. Wherefore, that we are justified by faith only is a most wholesome doctrine and very full of comfort” {Discipline of The Methodist Church, page 28} BIBLE: Blessings come when faith has issued into works of obedience “You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.” (James 2:24) THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD

“We believe the Scriptures teach that salvation of sinners is wholly of grace…” {p.61} “…eternal life…is bestowed, not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in Christ…” {p.62} {The Standard Manual for Baptist Churches} BIBLE: GRACE FAITH WORKS GRACE + FAITH + WORKS (Obedience) = Salvation {Hebrews 11:30; 2 Kings 5} THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD Denominational Error

Salvation Principle Applied New Testament Example (Acts 16:30-34) “And he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?“ So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.“ Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized. Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.” THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD GRACE + FAITH + WORKS (Obedience)
