10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
What is it that Paul preaches?
What shall happen when someone shall call upon the name of the Lord?

Keep reading!
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith cometh by hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ! His death, burial and
resurrection! Then you must obey it. Repent, and be baptized, every one
of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. You shall receive power AFTER the Holy
Ghost is come upon you.
Fearful Peter before the cruxcifixion became very bold after Pentecost. He
and John were thrown in prison for being so bold with that name. The name
of Jesus was so powerful that those who opposed it, were afraid of it. Many
today, even denominal ministers speak against baptism in THE name of Jesus.
There's power in the name. There's power in the blood.
I wonder why those who argue against the gospel of Jesus Christ, don't
just go join those who also argue in denominal churches. There are plenty
of churches that argue the same things some of you on this forum argue.
They can be found in most every church in our city. We've seen them for
over 50 years. BUT there are those that have, and are continuing to come
out and have heard, searched out, and obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ.
They have come out of darkness into His marvelous light. They have been
set free. They have seen the Light of the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ,
dispels the darkness. Darkness attempts to hide full truth. Part truth is
deception.
Have you that don't believe the apostolic message of truth, ever gone to a
denominal church.
I can understand someone who was raised in another type
of faith, arguing against apostolic truth. But what's so unbelievable are those
who were raised in the apostolic faith, to argue so against the faith. I'm am
not speaking about standards, etc. I'm speaking about the apostolic plan of
salvation.
It is not my intention at all to be rude or disrespectful. If someone has not
brought you to Christ, you're still under the law. The law of sin and death.
The law could not make anyone righteous. The law was the schoolmaster
to bring us to Christ. Those that are Christ's are not under the law.
