Acts 2 Part 7 - Pastor Paul Van Noy
Pastor Paul Van Noy continues our verse by verse study in the Book of Acts chapter 2. Here, he reminds us that our salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, not by our works or behavior, including baptism, which is subsequent to our salvation. Within a detailed examination of Acts 2:40-47, we look at 6 guidelines essential for all churches' continued spiritual growth and sustenance. We Are Called To... 1... Study the teachings of the bible and develop sound doctrine based on the whole counsel of God. 2... Fellowship within the context of our faith and Christ-centered worldview. 3... Pray. 4... Give time/titheāsupport the Ministry. 5... Maintain belief in Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah and in God's work in Israel: past, present, and future; Christianity is a Jewish religion. 6... Trust the Lord for the growth of the church, not resorting to the ways & means of the flesh. A ministry that is built on the Lord will NOT fail.
