Sin

Sin cannot cure itself.

Sin needs redemption. Sin
needs a redeemer.

The lady with the issue of
blood tried everything the
world could offer with no
cure.

Her only cure was Jesus.

Our only cure is Jesus.

Not matter how hard we try,
or what we try, we will never
overcome sin on our own.

Like a drowning man we cannot
save ourselves.

We need a saviour.

Romans 10

The Baptists are right. All you have
to do to be saved is believe.

Anyone can do it. "Whosoever will" can
be saved.

In other words, there are no other
requirements. You do not have to
"ascend into heaven" or "descend into
the deep".

The whole point of Romans 10 is not
to define salvation but to define who
is eligible for salvation. "The Lord
is rich unto all who call upon him."

Paul was just reminding the Church in
Rome that Jesus didn't discriminate
based on race. The kingdom of God is
open to all.

The Baptists are also wrong. The reason
they are wrong is because they are
using Romans to define salvation.

Clearly, Jesus declares the believing
is followed by baptism. (Mark 16:16)

Baptism is followed by receiving the
Holy Ghost. (Acts 2, 10, 19)

The question remains; What does it really
mean to "believe"?
