Just a side note: I read a small article that said that if we preached the Gospel in its fullness and we didn't downplay God's justice, or wrath, our depraved sin, or hell, then we would have less need for discipleship. Discipleship will still be needed but it will be a lot less. Often...

God loves us so much that He sent his son to pay our fine. We’ve earned the death penalty because of our sins, but Jesus took our punishment by dying on the cross for us. So, you and I broke God's law, the 10 Commandments, Jesus came and paid the fine. It is a bit like, if you are in a court of...

I was just given another verse that shows how telling others the Gospel is actually what prophecy is. We need to prophesy more. So, go and evangelise and tell people the Gospel. Testify about what He has done on the cross. Rev 19:10 ".......For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy"...

Continuing from 1 Cor 14:3 to verse 14 it says, "He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church." The word "edifies" in Greek is "oikodomeō". It means to build up (from the foundation, which is Christ). So, if we go out and share the Gospel and evangelise...

1 Cor 14:1 says, "Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy." So, we are to desire that we may prophesy above other gifts. I believe that in this verse, the word "prophesy" simply means to tell others about our God, that they will one day be judged...

Hi Alex Sorry, I disagree with the first part of the statement, but I agree with the second part. The Gospel is spelt out in 1 Cor 15:3-4. It says, "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day." So, the Gospel message is...

We should all have reverence and fear for God. Reverence is respect, and fear is like awe. When the atom bombs were dropped on Japan, the pilots looked back and saw the massive mushroom cloud. They knew that they were not under the power of the bomb as they were in the safety of their plane, but...

Just thought I would look up the Greek meaning for "Belief" The KJV translates Strong's G4100 in the following manner: believe, commit unto, commit to (one's) trust , be committed unto , be put in trust with , be commit to one's trust , believer...

I think you are arguing semantics. So, I think I will end the conversation here. Keep sharing the Gospel. God Bless

In the tract, it talks about the free gift and it mentions that we should trust and repent to receive this. I do not see any need to change that. It seems you believe that it needs to be worded in a specific way otherwise the person will not be saved. The way I see it is that if someone puts...

I gave you many examples of how people should leave their sins. So, can you tell me how you believe people are saved?

Read Matt 9:13 “For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”” This says that Jesus wanted sinners to have a change of mind. So, once they sinned, and then they changed to living in a Holy manner. Those who believe but continue in sin are in big trouble. 1 Cor 6:9-10...

I agree. The delivery of the message can be different. But it should be the Gospel in its fullness. I think what post 6 was getting at is that many believers and pastors dull down or distort the Gospel to make it more palatable. So, some believers do not even know the true Gospel. This simply...

That is why we use the Law. I cannot change a person, but God has given us the great gift of the Law. The law of the Lord is perfect at converting the heart. Sadly, most Christians do not understand this great gift. So, you simply tell them about the cross without telling them why they need the...

The method in the Gospel tract is the same method that Jesus used in Mark 10:17. When the rich young ruler asked Him how to get eternal life, Jesus used the law first to show the rich young ruler his sin. So, if Jesus did it, then why would we not do it? In Psalms 19:7, it says, "The Law of the...

Why take out the word repent? Unbelievers are told to repent. Also, why change the word "trust" to "believe"? There are many who believe but are not saved. Even the demons believe. Believing is more than simple belief. It is trusting in Him like you would trust a parachute. There are many who...

We are meant to show people how they have sinned. This can be confronting to some, and they will hate it. But to others it is enlightening. And Jesus said that if we did this, then the world would hate us. So, if do as Jesus did, then some will be pushed away. Many will hate it. Many believers...

I have heard statements like this all the time. What is more loving? To warn them of their sin or to leave them in eternal damnation but to love them there? We should be warning people. It is the loving thing to do.

But there is only one Gospel.

Jesus used the law. And so should we. The Holy Spirit can then work through their conscience. In Psalms, it says, "The law of the Lord is perfect at converting the soul." If it is perfect, then why would we not use it? Also, the sign was not one of judgment. It was not saying, "You are condemned...
