How often do you need to examine yourself?
1 Cor. 11:28 "But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup."

If we are to examine ourselves, while taking the cup of wine and breaking the bread, perhaps it needs to be on a more frequent basis than once a year (as most churches I was a part of would do). That no doubt is what Paul was speaking of, as he wrote this in vs. 30 "For this cause many are weak and sickly among you and many sleep."
So...if I examine myself, I run to the fridge for some wine and bread? get my sins forgiven all over again?

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
