Addresses such questions as: Does saving repentance mean one must clean up his life before he can be saved? Must one confess Jesus publicly? What if one has never "asked Jesus into my heart?" Does the Bible teach, "If He's not Lord of all He's not Lord at all?" Can salvation be complete without baptism?

24 pages, soft cover – The Old Testament contains numerous predictions about a coming Deliverer, the Messiah. The Dead Sea Scrolls were copied long before the life of Jesus, and they clearly have these prophecies. No critic can assert these were written after the fact of the life of Jesus. This study establishes that these texts were correctly understood and translated from the Hebrew by those who see Jesus as the fulfillment. Messianic prophecy is probably the strongest evidence that the Bible is a book of supernatural origin and that Jesus of Nazareth must be identified as the messiah, the Savior of all who place their faith in Him and His death on the cross for our sin.
Papias lived in the next following generation from the Apostles. His surviving comments are essential to background conclusions about the Gospels. Should Papias be understood and trusted that the Apostle Matthew's writing ministry was the basis for the canonical Gospel of Matthew? Who was Papias' "Elder John" and what was his connection to the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation? Was the author the Apostle John or some secondary obscure John? This book gives attention to these difficult but vital questions. As they overlap with the reliability of the Gospels, a third study on fulfilled Messianic Prophecy is included.
