Preachers Now Deceased, Yet Speaketh Editor's File Drawer Of Clippings

Johnny Ramsey ~ deceased Spritual Inventory Can I give a scriptural reason for what I do and teach religiously? (1 Peter 3:15; 4:11) Do I worship in spirit and in truth? (John 4:24) Do I wear any religious name that cannot be found in the Bible? (Acts 11:26; 1 Peter 4:16) Is the church that I am a member of mentioned in God’s Word? (Romans 16:16; Matthew 16:18) Have I refused to obey the simple commands of Christ? (Luke 6:46; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16) If claiming to be a Christian, do I engage in worldly practices? (2 Corinthians 6:17; Romans 12:1-2) Do I absent myself from the assembly of the church? (Hebrews 10:25) Am I growing spiritually? (2 Peter 3:18) Do I truly love the brethren and even my enemies? (Matthew 5:43-48) Foy E. Wallace, Jr. ~ deceased There Is Nothing Plainer!!! The plainest statement in the Bible on what to do to be saved is Mark 16:15-16: “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Now that verse cannot be simplified and it cannot be misunderstood, without some help. He shall be saved that believeth and is baptized. It does not read, he shall be saved that believeth. It does not read, he shall be saved who is baptized. It reads, He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved! The principal sentence is, he shall be saved. The dependent clause is, that believeth and is baptized. The word that points out the fellow ~ “he” ~ that shows who shall be saved. This is the simplest statement in all the Bible on what to do in order to be saved!!!
