3.1 The Illusion of False Grace and Easy Believism

Verses: Jude 1:4; Matthew 7:21-23; James 2:19

4. The Call to Repentance and Apostolic Restoration

4.1 Confronting the World with the Full Gospel

Verses: Acts 2:38; John 3:5; Galatians 3:27
  • The urgent necessity of preaching repentance, water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
  • The essential role of the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance for salvation.

4.2 Standing as a Holy Remnant

Verses: 2 Corinthians 6:17-18; Titus 2:11-14
