Interchangeable Words About Salvation

• 1 Corinthians 1:23; 2:2• 1 Cor. 1:13; 6:11; Acts 18:8• Included preaching on baptism!• Not “off-balance” or “out of

focus”.• Preaching of the cross MUST

INCLUDE everything about Christ’s doctrine.

Jesus Christ & Him Crucified

• Acts 8:5-12 “Christ” & “Good news about the kingdom…”

• Acts 8:34-39 “preached Jesus”

Sincerity alone will not save

Holy Spirit baptism and speaking in tongues not for

everyone

Baptism is NOT sprinkling or pouring

Baptism was part of gospel!

Scriptural Examples

• Acts 8:5-12 “Christ” & “Good news about the kingdom…”

• Acts 8:34-39 “preached Jesus”• Acts 16:25-33 “spoke the word

of the Lord”• 1 Thessalonians received the

Word, God’s Message (1:9-10; 5:2; 3:4; 4:2)

Scriptural Examples

• Preaching Of The Cross must include Jesus’ life.

• Must also include many doctrines men need to hear.
