HAVE YOU DONE THIS?.......

ST. MARK 16:15-18

(15)  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.  (16)  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;  but he that believeth not shall be damned.  (17)  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;  they shall speak with new tongues;  (18)  They shall take up serpents;  and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;  they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in the Lord;  I called this context, "the great commission",  Jesus, commissions us to go into the world, and preach the gospel to every man:  he said, those who will believe, and are baptized will receive eternal life;  but those who will not believe shall be thrown into hell's fire:  believers, shall speak in tongues, and cast out devils;  and any deadly attacks of the enemy will not hurt them, but in his name they shall perform miracles, sign and wonders.

Case in point,  brethren, let's assume that all Christians worship the Lord, pray, and read the scriptures;  "that is great!":  but the scripture says;  to believe in him and be baptized to receive eternal life:  the question is;   "Are we baptized Christians?"  or do we just follow the multitude to attend worship services;  but are not really saved: when we attend worship services, and crusades; and are touched by the holy spirit, do we respond to the alter call to receive Christ as our Lord and Savior?:  If we do,  baptism, is the next step to complete the process to receive everlasting life, and to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

(Ephesians 4:5)  One Lord,  One faith,  One baptism.

CONCLUSION:

Brethren in the Lord,  perhaps our parents, neighbors, or friends led us to Jesus Christ; however, we need to profess our believe in him by baptism;  to receive his power to spread the gospel to the whole world.  If we have not being baptized yet; believers, let us go ahead and complete the process now, to receive power and eternal salvation in the name of Jesus!

Amen and Amen!

(John 3:16)  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in his should not perish,  but have everlasting life.
