Introduction - The value of our faith....

As we journey into this series entitled ‘’til all have heard’ we are going to dig into areas of evangelism and mission and don’t be surprise as today’s message but I first must ask you a question and that is ‘do you know the true value of the faith you are apart of?’.

Because how you value your faith determines how effective you are in your evangelism, and there are alot of individuals that know the faith and sing about the faith but I’m afraid they don’t value the faith and we can see it in their lifestyle, we see hear in their lyrics, we hear it in their sermons and we see it on their timelines, and just in case you are wondering ‘what is this faith?’

let’s dig into this.

As Jesus is making his exit to sit at the right hand of God, he releases what we consider “The Great Comission” to his disciples saying, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you.

Once we get to Act 2 where they have been endowed with power and the Holy Ghost has come upon them and they are walking out this power to be witnesses, Acts 2:42 tells us the continued daily in the Apostle’s doctrine, and the question then comes what is considered the Apostle’s doctrine?

It is what we believe the Apostles taught and what they believed,

we believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and there is no salvation outside of what is taught in its pages.

We believe There is only one God according to Deuteronomy 6:4, He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings.

He has revealed Himself to humanity in three manifestations as the Father(Creator), son (Savior), and Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit).

We believe Salvation consists of deliverance from all sin and unrighteousness through the blood of Jesus Christ.

We believe The name in which baptism is administered is vitally important, and this name is Jesus.

We should notice that He said name (singular) not names.

As previously explained, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not names of separate persons, but titles of positions held by God.

An angelic announcement revealed God's saving name in the New Testament: "She shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins"

We believe Speaking in tongues means speaking miraculously in a language unknown to the speaker, as the Spirit gives utterance.

We believe After we are saved from sin, we are commanded, "Go, and sin no more" (John 8:11).

We are commanded to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world (Titus 2:12) and warned that without holiness no one shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

We must present ourselves as holy unto God (Romans 12:1), cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit (II Corinthians 7:1), and separate ourselves from all worldliness (James 4:4).

I am not blind to the fact that we all will deal with sin and
