Question 4

Q

Benefits of Sealing

Answer

A

•Sin grieves the Spirit because we are sealed. Sin does not and cannot break this seal.♦•Scripturally, this Security is used as an exhortation not to sin, not as an excuse for sin, as detractors wrongfully claim.♦•The message of God’s Word is clear: Because you are permanently sealed with and joined to God’s Holy Spirit, you are therefore to abstain from sin which will grieve the Spirit and defile His Temple.♦•An earnest is a deposit or down payment pledging eventual complete, full, and final payment to come.♦•The Holy Spirit is the “first-fruits” of all of our heavenly possessions assuring and guaranteeing us of our future possession of all the blessings of Heaven and our salvation.♦•It should be noted that the One (God the Father) giving the Earnest (the Holy Spirit) not the one receiving the Earnest (the believing sinner), is totally responsible for completing the transaction♦•The Holy Spirit is thus God’s solemn word guaranteeing the eternal security of the believer!

♦This is the only ministry of the Spirit which we are commanded to seek.

A comparison of passages in Acts reveals the same persons are repeatedly filled with the Spirit.♦♦This is the only ministry of the Spirit which can be lost and should thus be repeatedly sought.

Question 8

Q

Conditions of the Fullness of the Spirit

Answer

A

•Total surrender to His Will.♦•Total Dependence on His power involves:•Recognition of the weakness and inability of our flesh to please God.•Seeking or thirsting.

Question 23

Q

Two Views of Tongues

Answer

A

•The Heavenly Prayer Language♦•The Unlearned Languages

Question 24

Q

The Heavenly Prayer Language View of Tongues

Answer

A

This view sees tongues as ecstatic, angelic, heavenly utterances (above mere human speech).

Question 25

Q

The Unlearned Languages View of Tongues

Answer

A

This view teaches that all of the accounts of Bible tongues were the supernatural enablement to suddenly be able to speak of the message of God in a human language of which the speaker had no prior knowledge.

Question 26

Q

Arguments for the Unlearned Languages View

Answer

A

♦Pentecost Tongues were obviously human languages and this truth is beyond debate.♦♦Scripture never redefines/clarifies any distinction between tongues at Pentecost and later tongues.♦♦The Bible uses the exact same wording to describe the tongues in Acts and in 1 Corinthians 12-14, the only instances of tongue speaking in the New Testament.♦♦Peter said the later tongue speaking at Caesarea was identical to Pentecost.♦♦Ecstatic utterances would not be a miraculous sign to unbelievers, especially in Corinth where ecstatic utterances were common among the Pagan Mystery Religions.♦♦1 Corinthians 14:21 quotes Isaiah 28:11-12 as prophesying and explaining the sign of tongues. That Isaiah definitely refers to human languages is beyond debate.♦♦Jesus warned against non-thought out prayer or tongue-babbling in prayer.

The often used argument that “everyone got saved in Acts spoke in tongues” is simply not true. Some of those saved in Acts spoke in tongues while others did not.♦♦Even in Acts 2, only the 120 spoke in tongues - none of the 3,000 converts did.♦♦Tongues were never for all believers.♦♦It is a historical fact that tongues ceased from the days of the first century until the beginning of the 20th century (2000 years), when a modern Pentecostalism began.♦♦Tongues were not to prove Spirit Baptism or the Fullness of the Spirit.♦♦Tongues were a sign to unbelievers. 1 Cor 14:22 is the only passage in Scripture which states the purpose of Tongues. ♦♦The primary purpose of tongues was therefore to be a sign of (what) Judgment upon (Who) unbelieving Israel, which judgment took place in (when) AD 70.

Question 42

Q

Question 64

Q

Arminianism View of our Fallen Nature

A

A Conduct manual for church living

Answer 123

A

God spoke in various ways to our fathers through the prophets, but now he has spoken His final word to us in His Son…greater than any prophet: he is greater even than the angels….It was through the angels that Moses’ law was communicated and its sanctions were severe enough: how much more perilous must it be to ignore the saving message brought by no angel, but by Jesus, the Son of God!

Answer 124

A

Persecution can either cause you to grow or grumble in the Christian life. It all depends on your response …Growth or bitterness…In writing to Jewish believers struggling in the midst of persecution, Peter encourages them to conduct themselves courageously for…Christ. Both their conduct and their character must be above reproach. Having been born again to a living hope, they are to imitate the Holy One Who has called them. The fruit of that character will be conduct rooted in submission…to government…to masters…to husbands…to one another. Only after submission is fully understood does Peter deal with the difficult area of suffering. The Christians are not to think it ‘strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you’ (4:12), but are to rejoice as partakers of the suffering of Christ. That response to life is truly the climax of one’s submission to God.

Answer 125

Answer 126

A

The battle cry, call to arms, a commission to defend the Faith!

Answer 127

A

A. The Nature of their Struggle: Many Jewish believers, having stepped out of Judaism into Christianity, want to reverse their course in order to escape persecution by their countrymen. The writer of Hebrews exhorts them to “go on to perfection”. His appeal is based on the superiority of Christ of the Judaic System. There is more to be gained in Christ than to be lost in Judaism.♦B. The Nature of their Persecution: The high priest Ananias was especially hard and unrelenting. He had all Christian Jews automatically banished from the holy places. That was tough. All their lives they had had access to these sacred places. Now they could have no part in the God-ordained services. They were now considered unclean. They could not go to the synagogue, much less the Temple: they could not offer sacrifices: they could not communicate with the priests. They could have nothing to do with their own people. They were cut off from their own society. For clinging to Jesus as the Messiah, they were banished from almost every sacred thing they had ever known. Though in God’s eyes they were the only true Jews, they were considered by fellow Jews to be worse than Gentiles.

Answer 128

A

Peter penned this Epistle in response to the news of the growing persecution of Christians in Asia Minor

Answer 129

A

A. When 1 Peter was written, the Church was facing danger from without, in the form of growing persecution. While that persecution had intensified by the time of 2 Peter, his readers now faced a far more dangerous enemy, one that attacked from within.♦B. “Peter wrote this epistle in response to the spread of heretical teachings which were all the more insidious because they emerged from within the churches. These false teachers perverted the doctrine of justification and promoted a rebellious and immoral way of life.”

Answer 130

A

He was youthful, and apparently timid and reserved individual who often suffered from poor health

Answer 131

A

Jude was written as a defense against an early form of libertine Gnosticism. These heretics believed they were more spiritual than ordinary believers and that they possessed a special knowledge which made them superior to “unenlightened” pastors.

Answer 132

A

Hebrews has been called the 5th Gospel. The Gospels describe what He did on EARTH, Hebrews describes what He is doing in HEAVEN. Hebrews describes Christ’s continuing ministry after His Ascension as our High Priest.

Answer 133

A

Jude is the only book in all of God’s Word entirely devoted to the great apostatsy which is to come upon Christendom before the Lord Jesus Christ returns. This brief message of 25 verses is the vestibule to the Revelation…Without Jude , the prophetic picture which begins with the teachings of Christ in the Gospels and continues through the epistles would be incomplete…Jude brings the teachings of the entire Bible about apostasy to a tremendous climax. He takes us back to the very dawn of human history. We are reminded of apostasy at the gate of Eden…Our thoughts are turned to princes and prophets, to saints and sinners, to eternal fire and everlasting darkness, to the sea and to the stars, to past judgments and future glory.♦Jude tells us of otherwise unknown facts about the spiritual battle over the destiny of Moses’ body and the content of the pre-flood preaching of Enoch. He does so by referring to 2 non-canonical books.

Answer 159

A

To have rested or “ceased from his own works” in an attempt to earn or keep salvation”. When we place all of our trust in Christ as the only hope of our salvation, we “rest” in the finished work of Christ and from all attempts to work our way into heaven or to earn or deserve God’s favor.

Answer 170

Answer 172

A

o The Bible never contradicts itself.•The Bible elsewhere teaches baptism is not necessary for salvation.♦•The thief on the cross was saved without baptism long after some key “proof texts” of baptismal regenerationists (such as John 3:5) were spoken.•Converts in in Acts 10:43-48 were saved, filled with the Spirit an performing miracles (tongues) before their baptism. •The Bible often explains how to be saved without including baptism.•Notice in Acts 3:19 and 10:43, Peter himself, the author of the passage we are discussing, gives the plan of salvation and does not include baptism.•The proof texts of baptismal regenerationists don’t hold water. Just one example of this is Mark 16:16, which says “he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved”, but then clearly explains which part is necessary to salvation by saying, “but he that believeth shall not be damned.”

Answer 173

A

Salvation is by grace through faith apart from anything or any works. Baptism is by contrast a work.♦ 1 Corinthians 1:17 separates between the gospel and baptism.

Answer 174

A

o In the Bible, as in everyday language, the word “save” can refer to the salvation of a soul, a life, or a thing. Which of these is in view can only be understood from the context.•How was Noh saved by water? Water here represented death and judgment. Noah and his family were only saved because they were in the Ark. The water without the ark meant certain death•This is the “like figure” (antitype) of how baptism “saves”. The Water of baptism pictures death and the judgment of sin on the cross, but only those in the Ark (picturing Christ) are saved.

Answer 175

A

Baptism wash es away sin. It is not a cleansing agent. “Not the putting away of the filth of the flesh” means more than that “baptism is not a bath”. Baptism does not cleanse us from sin.

Answer 176

A

Baptism is the public profession or pledge (“answer”) that one has “a good conscience toward God”, a testimony of our salvation.♦ “Answer” is a legal term referring to a pledge to obey and fulfill the terms of a contract.♦ Baptism is a public pledge to obey God and serve Him, and to break with their sinful past. Thus baptism is a pledge that a person is saved and will live accordingly.♦ It thus “saves” us from the temptation (which Peter’s readers were facing) to return to their sinful past in the face of suffering.♦ Baptism “saves” from a bad conscience, not from Hell. No believer has a good conscience with God while he is in the disobedient state of refusing baptism.

Answer 177

A

Skeptics and liberals often claim that the miracle claims and teachings of Christianity were made up by the followers of Christ over a period of centuries after his Death.

o No passage of Scripture is of the writer’s own private interpretation or opinion - it is GOD’S word.•No passage of Scripture is to be of the reader’s own private interpretation or opinion. It is what GOD meant, not what YOU understand or feel it to mean that is important. We are to study Scripture in order to discover what God intended to convey, not to project our feelings, opinions, or experiences into or onto it, ignoring the original intent and context.

Answer 180

A

o No portion of God’s Word was ever written simply by the writer’s own will or to convey his own thoughts or opinions.•Instead of “holy men of God”, the authors of Scripture were moved, carried along, and guided by the Holy Spirit concerning exactly what to write. God’s hand moved their hearts, their minds, and their pens. Every word of the Bible is the perfect Word of God!
