DID YOU KNOW??
Carroll Sites

Have you ever noticed how many things are accepted in religion without any investigation? So many things in religion are simply traditionalized. Many will accept what some preacher or teacher says without any investigation. For instance:

DID YOU KNOW...

 That the Bible nowhere says, "Accept Jesus as Your Personal Savior"?

 That not one modern denomination can be found in the New Testament

 That no one was ever told to "Ask Jesus into your heart" in answer to the question, "What must I do to be saved?"

 That "The Rapture" is not once mentioned in the Bible (neither by name nor by concept)?

 That "faith only" is mentioned only one time in the Bible, and that in a condemnatory fashion? (Read: James 2:24)

 That every verse in the New Testament in which baptism and salvation appear together always places baptism prior to salvation? (Notice: Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; Romans 6:4; 1 Peter 3:21)

 That the New Testament authorizes only vocal music in worship to God? (Read: Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16)

 That you must obey the will of God to be saved eternally? (Hebrews 5:8-9; Romans 6:16-18; Matthew 7:21-23)

DID YOU KNOW—that Jesus Christ has been given all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18)...that we will be judged by Jesus Christ (Acts 17:30-31)...that this judgment will be by His Word (John 12:48)?

Are YOU following men or God...the Bible or tradition...command or opinion...faith or feelings?

IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!

There are ten weaknesses against which most of us must guard ourselves. One of these is the habit of trying to reap before we have sown, and the other nine are all wrapped up in the practice of creating alibis to cover every mistake made.
