Re: The Key to Salvation is... the Book of Acts...

Brother Price;397688]In truth, the truth of salvation is found in Ephesians 2:8-9, the most ignored scriptures in Pentecost today...

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. {Ephesians 2:8-9}



I can't speak for every last preacher in Pentecost today, for certain. But I can speak for the many I've known. And I have yet to meet one who hasn't preached God's grace and unmerited favor. I have yet to meet one who was afraid to quote Ephesians 2... All of the preachers I have known have been grateful for the Grace that saved them and us. Amazing Grace... how sweet the sound. I don't know anyone who has ignored this scripture.

In fact, this scripture was written to people who were still trying to keep the Old Testement law, and expecting everyone to do so... the "works" referred to in this passage have nothing to do with our being Baptised in that beautiful name of Jesus when we've repented.

None of us can merit our salvation, and I've never heard a preacher preach that you could.

The Acts of the Apostles are written so we know how, when, where, why, who, and the like... when the church was born. How the Jews and Gentiles were both brought through the same door with the same keys.
