Please go back and scroll down (on the right hand side) until you see the same "The Stewardship of the Mystery # 1". Number One takes you to the first post in this series and it is intitled ""The Purpose of the Ages". T. Austin-Sparks was a pastor who also profusely wrote about our Christian faith. He is well-known for his thoroughly Biblical studies. Before his death he said, "freely received, freely given" which means that he would not allow anyone to copy right his writings. Since his death, his family has agreed not to allow anyone to copy right his writings. Though you will find some books published today with his writings, they can only copy right the title of the book, and anything they say about the book. So T. Austin-Sparks writings are still free to anyone who receives them. But the 'mystery' is the coming of Christ Jesus. The mystery is Jesus Christ! I pray that you will go to # 1 and read that too. Then from # 1 go to # 2 and so forth. Very interesting reading and studying.

I admittedly acknowledge this #48 is the 1st posting I have READ. Are you saying 'the mystery' is the gospel? Are you saying 'the mystery' is Jew and Gentile becoming one new man in Him? Are you saying 'the mystery' is the Kingdom of God? Are you saying 'the mystery' is the assembly/church? Or are you saying 'the mystery' is something altogether different than any of my guesses above?

...SALVATION WITHOUT FORGIVENESS BY STEVE FINNELL<br /><br />Is it possible to be saved without having your sins forgiven? Was Saul saved by faith alone before his sins were forgiven?<br /><br />If Saul was saved on the road to Damascus, then he was saved without having his sins forgiven.<br /><br />Saul believed in Jesus on the road Damascus, but his sins were forgiven three days later in Damascus <br />Act 9:1-19......9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank....<br /><br />Saul sins were forgiven in Damascus, three days later, not on the road to Damascus.<br />Acts 22:1-16.....10 And I said, 'What shall I do Lord?' And the Lord said to me, 'Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.'.......16 Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins,calling on His name!<br /><br />Saul was not saved by faith only. Saul was saved by believing and being baptized in water.<br /><br />Jesus did not establish faith only salvation on the road to Damascus. Jesus confirmed what He already had said "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved"... (Mark 16:16)<br /><br />You cannot be saved unless your sins have been forgiven. <br /><br />In order to support the doctrine of faith only men have offered many reasons why the Scriptures cannot be trusted.<br />REASONS.<br />1. The Bible is not the inerrant word of God, it has many errors and contradictions.<br />2. You have to be a Greek scholar to understand the Bible. If you understand the original Greek language, then you would know water baptism is not essential for forgiveness of sins.<br />3. You need to use extra-Biblical writings to understand the plan of salvation.<br />4. The Bible has been mistranslated, therefore men are saved by faith only and not the way it is presented in the Bible. <br /><br />If God is not smart enough to give men an accurate translation of His plan for salvation and Christian living, then why would anyone trust in Him for salvation or for anything else.<br /><br />God has given us His plan of salvation in many translations, in different languages. You do not have to know Greek.You do not have to have a Greek dictionary. You do have to be Greek. If men had to be able to read and understand original Greek to understand the Bible, then all Bibles would be in Greek.<br /><br />GOD IS INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO GUIDE MEN TO GIVE A TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE IN THE LANGUAGE THAT YOU READ! JUST READ IT AND BELIEVE IT.<br /><br />Men are not saved by faith only and there is no verse of Scripture that states men are saved by faith only. Men are saved by faith, but not by faith only.<br /><br />YOU ARE INVITED TO FOLLOW MY BLOG. http://steve-finnell.blogspot.com Steve Finnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863026367048527526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372197241973205285.post-91927239474025253032014-06-22T18:18:34.006-05:002014-06-22T18:18:34.006-05:00THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS.

This is repeated somewhat in Rev. 5:9-10, where the Lamb that was slain and whose blood ransomed men for God has made them into a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on earth.<br /><br />These references do say Christ's people are a kingdom, and priests to God; they do not say these "priests" are kings. They are rather the kingdom of the one sitting on the throne (in heaven, namely, God, as in 4:2), and of the Lion of Judah, who is the Lamb standing in the midst of the throne (Rev. 5:5-6). There are other thrones around the one throne in heaven, and Jesus promises churches that if they "conquer" they will sit with him on his throne (3:21). So the ruling in heaven is a future reality if we first "conquer" on earth; and the phrase in 5:10 (they will reign on earth) is also about the future (the new heavens and new earth of Rev. 21-22).<br /><br />Yet most of the seven churches Jesus addresses are not conquering and need to repent. The church addressed in 3:21, Laodicea, thinks they are blessed with wealth and health, but are actually not. Jesus is knocking on their door, wanting in. Only two churches are "conquering," and they are poor, powerless, and in tribulation from local enemies (2:9; 3:9). If these two continue their patient endurance and remain faithful unto death, and thus conquer, Christ says he will give them the crown of life (2:10; 3:10-12).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372197241973205285.post-31122043231395878662012-09-30T11:52:13.069-05:002012-09-30T11:52:13.069-05:00Hi Covnikepr1
