Christians are Not Under Law? What about the Law of Christ?

Is there a “law of Christ”?

• Galatians 6:2, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

Are we under law toward Christ?

• First Corinthians 9:20-21, “and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law [the Gentiles], as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward

The Complete Romans Road

The “Romans Road” is way of presenting how to enter into salvation using only the book of Romans. Though the “Romans Road” is often incomplete. Below is the most concise and yet complete “Romans Road”. You can also read of the way into salvation using only the words of Jesus, the book of Acts (or just Acts 2), Galatians, Colossians, and maybe other books like Ephesians, 1 Corinthians, Hebrews, and 1 Peter.

Romans 3:23, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”

Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 10:9-10, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Romans 6:7, “For he who has died has been freed from sin.“

Romans 6:5-6, “For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this,

Must Women Be Completely Silent in All Bible Studies?

It is believed by many that women should never speak in so much as never talking at all in any Christian meeting or Bible study. This belief claims its premises from 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1 Timothy 2:11-12. This study will not question the authenticity of these passages as being guided by the Spirit of Christ nor their authenticity in the Bible. These are the God-breathed Scriptures.  Also, this study will not question the validity of the these passages by labeling them “just culture”. These are only false conjectures with no proof to even suggest that these Scriptures should be cast aside. These are false points of view meant to undo what God has clearly commanded for God knows His creation and its nature including both man and woman. It is the rite of man being first created to be the teachers of the whole congregation (1 Tim. 2:11-13). Now, this article will show what the Bible says about women speaking and teaching in Christian meetings. This will take a middle ground established completely on the Biblical text. This study will not add to these instructions nor take them away. Please, examine these Scriptures below with the greatest of honesty.

When it comes to the belief that women must be completely silent in the meetings of the church, the word “silence” is misunderstood. In 1 Timothy 2:11-12, this passage clearly teaches that

Charles Spurgeon Differs from Today’s Baptists on Baptism

Charles Spurgeon is one of the most influential Baptist preachers ever and continues to be. He is titled by his admirers as being the “prince of preachers”. The staunch stance that most Baptists make today about baptism is contrasting to the teachings of past Baptists especially that of Spurgeon. See what Baptists today say about baptism not being essential to salvation like Charles Stanley, and Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. Many today are appalled by anyone claiming the baptism is essential yet Spurgeon did. Now look at what Spurgeon said in His lesson “He that Believes and is Baptized shall be Saved” given on October 13, 1889. Spurgeon said in response to common discussion on this subject that to those who question baptism being essential,

“What do you mean by ‘nonessential’? ‘I mean that I can be saved without being baptized.’ Will you dare to say that wicked sentence over again? ‘I mean that I can be saved without being baptized.’ You mean creature! So you will do nothing that Christ commands, if you can be saved without doing it? You are hardly worth saving at all! A man who always wants to be paid for what he does, whose one idea of religion is that he will do what is essential to his own salvation, only cares to save his own skin, and Christ may go where he likes. Clearly, you are no servant of his; you need to be saved from such a disreputable, miserable state of mind; and may the Lord save you! Oftentimes, I do believe that this little matter of believers’ baptism is the test of the sincerity of our profession of love to him.”

It is abundantly clear that Spurgeon thought that baptism was essential to salvation and essential to loving Christ. Some may wonder here, “Then, does Charles Spurgeon contradict his lesson on ‘Baptismal Regeneration’ for being a false teaching?” He does not. His lesson on Baptismal Regeneration was

Imagine You Grew Up in Another Church…

Imagine you grew up in another church. You went to Bible school, Vacation Bible School, summer camps, and even attended an associated school. At this church, you learned about Jesus’ life. You learned His words, His parables, His death and resurrection. You may have been baptized there. You grew up and got married there. You gave tithes there from your paycheck, and you have invested so much time and your life into the church. You have lifelong relationships there. Your parents committed your learning there and you even entrust your child’s learning there.

Despite gossip and some hypocrites, you are happy and committed to serving your God in your church. Despite a past preacher and a Bible teacher who lost their way, you like and trust the teachers and the preacher that do so much now. You trust the preacher’s
