mr. crshsm there is another point that has troubled
You have absolute confidence in the sayings Of
the Bible But does modern research tell that the
Bible is Just the record Of Hebrew and early Christian
reIision7"
"ANsWER: NY confidence In the Bible Is based vpor
two things. First respect the inner testimony OF the Bible
This book claims be ths Word Of God Jesus said The
words that speak unto you. they spirit and they are
life And again Heaven and earth shall pass away but my
words shall not pass away
The Bible makes unique claim that Is unsurpassed
in the literature Of the world
Second, have found that the Bible lives up 10 this
claim. II works.
Both in my life and in the lives Of thousands Of others
have seen proof that what the Bible says, II does
~ is this proof in life that eonviness that the
Bible is not Just record Of Hebrew and early Christian
religion
This book is the contemporary living, vital and dy
mamie Word Of God. In II find the truth that Is able
TO make wise unto salvation In u we find fhs equipment
and armour for Christian s Though sksptes have
denied H. It's truth still stands; It's remedy for sin still
works"
DO you believe conversion 10 process. II some
thing which takes place instantly"
"ANSWER: The time when person passes from dssfi
fs from state Of being lost Of salvation through
faith in Christ probably instantaneous matter ius
as the beginning Of human life.
There is time when life has not begun Then in ~
instant fhsrs is life and this life gradually develops Int
maturity.
Of Christians who have recollection when they sctva,
believed in Christ their Savior. But they know that
their hearts they have accepted Him and they have III
assurance that they converted.
we must always distinguish between new born bah
in Christ and fully msfvrsd Christian. This takes fm
and we make serious mistake TO expect new converts
understand or act as full grown saints.
There no merit TO any particular type OF conversion
siih in Christ Savior and Lord Is the all imPortsn
thing"
