Salvation cannot be accomplished by a bath. John 4:2 says Jesus baptized no one. If baptism were a condition of salvation, He would have been baptizing people; after all, He came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10).

If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms around their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.

We should not be entertained by the sins for which Christ died.
Entertainment, Sin0We are to preach the gospel to all and leave the results to one.
Evangelism0You simply cannot nuance someone into the Kingdom.
There's no way to sanitize and PR the gospel into something that has no inherent offense—the aroma of death lingers to the lost no matter what soft-word-air-freshener you hang on it.
And trying is often the road to compromise.

Gospel, Self-Denial0You can scare people toward
God, but you can't scare anybody into loving
him. Fear can be helpful, but is never
decisive.

Salvation always results because God first pursues sinners, not because sinners first seek God.

l would define FREEWILL as this: every human being has the freedom to choose whatever sin he wants. That's free will.
Free Will, Sin0Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell; I wish to run a rescue mission within a yard of hell.
Evangelism0if it was considered an honor to be the slave of one of the Caesars, it is infinitely more so to be the slave of Christ

According to the Bible, converting people is not in our power. And evangelism may not be defined in terms of results but only in terms of faithfulness to the message preached.

It is the duty of all the sons and daughters of Adam who hear the gospel preached and Christ offered to them to believe in or receive Christ, be they prepared or not prepared. I say, it is the duty incumbent upon them all.
Evangelism0We have toiled all day, all the days of our lives, and have caught nothing. The net of the gospel hath been always spread out, and not scarce one soul taken in it. We read Acts 2:40 that at a sermon of St. Peter's, three thousand souls were converted to the Lord, but now we may hear three thousand sermons preached, and scarce one soul brought to heaven. Men are altogether of Gallio's mind (Acts 18:17). They care not for these things. Never was there since the days of Adam so much means of grace and salvation as now. Have we not line upon line, precept upon precept, sermon upon sermon, mercy upon mercy, and yet all will not do; men stop their ears.
Evangelism0The key to the Columbo tactic is to go on the offensive in an inoffensive way by using carefully selected questions to productively advance the conversation. Simply put, never make a statement, at least at first, when a question will do the job.

Children are born sinful, and that sinfulness manifests itself not because of what parents do, but because of what they don't do.
Original Sin0We must not offer people a system of redemption, a set of insights and principles. We offer people a Redeemer.
Evangelism0For the faithful, Spirit-filled Christian, every place becomes a place of prayer.
Prayer0Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables of Jesus deal with money. One out of ten verses in the New Testament deals with that subject. Scripture offers about five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five hundred on faith, and over two thousand on money. The believer's attitude toward money and possessions is determinative.
Money, Finances0A true Christian does not see God's promise of forgiveness as a license to sin, a way to abuse His love and presume on His grace. Rather, he sees God's gracious forgiveness as the means to spiritual growth and sanctification. He continually thanks God for His great love and willingness to forgive.
Obedience, Gospel0If I could simplify the Christian life to one thing, it would be obedience.
Obedience0It wasn't a potential atonement actuated by the sinner, it was an actual atonement initiated by the savior.
Definite Atonement, Limited Atonement, Particular Redemption0The cross is proof of both the immense love of God and the profound wickedness of sin.
Cross, God's Love, Sin0Scripture does what psychoanalysis can't do-it pierces the heart, penetrates deep into the soul and judges the motives. To see yourself in the light of Scripture, is to see yourself as you really are.
