8. WHICH IS TO BE ACCEPTED?

9. Belief the only thing required for salvation?
Acts 16:30,31
IF this means salvation is ONLY on the basis of FAITH we would have to conclude:
People on Pentecost saved by repentance & baptism ONLY – without belief or confession! Acts 2:38
Saul was saved by baptism ONLY – without belief, confession, or repentance! Acts 22:16

10. “What must I do?” Asked by People in Different Circumstances
Philippian Jailer – told to Believe & then taught what to believe – Acts 16:32-34
Pentecost – Already heard Christ & believed when they asked what they must do – Acts 2:36,37
Saul – had been praying in faith & repentance when told to be baptized – Acts 9:9-18

11. Your Status Before God Depends On How Far Along The Path to Salvation You Have Travelled

In Santa Clarita – 350 miles
In Taft – 278 miles
In Salinas – 106 miles
In Fremont – 38 miles
Four different answers – all correct!

12. None of us Will Enjoy the Forgiveness of Sins & the Hope of Heaven Short of Obedience
The gift will not be given until the conditions are fulfilled!

Must be strong enough to cause one to obey- Matthew 7:21; Luke 6:46

13. HAVE YOU OBEYED THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST?
