Reference: Acts 13:38-41
My friend do you believe that you are whatthe Bible calls a true believer? Have you ever wondered if you are or not? Ifyou will take the time to read this article I can almost guarantee that youwill be proven to be either a true Bible believer or an unbeliever. A truebeliever is a person that accepts and believes the word of God without doubtingits authenticity and authorship. Please notice above in the verse of scripturesfound in the book of Acts thethirteenth chapter that it statesthat God was going to perform a work that many people would fail to believe. Tobelieve of course means to accept something as being truth and asking noquestions about it. God's word tells us above that he would do a work in yourdays that you may not believe though a man declare it unto you. My friendwhether you believe it or not, this is that work that Almighty God said hewould do in your days that you may not believe. For your sakes I hope you are atrue believer because if you fail to receive and believe the truth of God'sword, then you will never be an individual that will be saved because you wouldbe rejecting the very truth that would save your soul. The reason why therewould be many people to reject the truth is because we find so many differentdoctrines being proclaimed in the world today. Most people simply do not knowwhat to believe and this confusion is of course authored of Satan.
Confusion isof the devil causing many not to know what to believe, thus causing them toaccept just about anything as being truth. Let this article prove whether youare a true Bible believer or a Bible rejecter and unbeliever. Many people saythey believe the Bible, but you can't be a true believer until you hear itscontents. When you come in contact with the contents of the Bible then you willbe proven as to what you are, whether a believer or an unbeliever. The word ofGod tells us that the gospel of Christ is the POWER OF GOD untosalvation to those that believe, but is foolishness to those that perish. Ifthis article is foolishness to you then I am afraid that you are considered tobe what the Bible calls an unbeliever. Allow me to tell you that Christcommanded his disciples to go into all the world and to preach the gospel andhe said those that believe the gospel would be saved, but those that did notbelieve it would be damned. (read Mark16:15-16) Many peoplerefuse to believe the gospel because if they did they would have to admit thatthey were wrong in what they thought was the gospel taught to them by theirchurch in which they attend. This is why many people fail to receive andbelieve the true gospel. They have already been indoctrinated by another belief.If you are one that says you will not believe nothing that you did not learn inyour church, then you might as well stop reading this article right now and goon your stubborn stiffnecked way and forget the whole thing. People who fail tobe reproved will be destroyed if they speak evil of the reproof. As for myselfI can certainly stand in one place long enough to allow someone to tell metheir convictions of how they understand the word of God as the Bible reveals.If anyone refuses to be reproved by someone then the chances are they arerefusing to be reproved by the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the reprover ofthe world as so stated in John 16:7-8. Many people have blasphemed the Holy Ghost by theirthinking that everyone who differs with them on scriptual matters is of thedevil trying to deceive them. Many people will call someone of the devil ifthey do not agree with them on the Bible. If you have truth then there iscertainly nothing for you to fear because against truth we can do absolutelynothing. The work that Almighty God will do in these last days is a work thatis done through a progressive stage. Salvation is something you receive in aprogressive manner by your obedience to the revealed truth of the gospel. Thecommon belief today in the religious realm is that salvation is an instant workat the altar as one confesses on Christ taking him as their personal Lord andSaviour. This belief excludes repentance altogether. Just to say you acceptChrist as your own personal Saviour does not save you in the least. The Bibledoes not say that you are saved upon your confession of him alone. The Bibleplainly says that if you believe on the Lord Jesus then you shall be saved, butit absolutely does not say that you are saved at the precise moment you confessbelief on him. You do have to believe and confess him, but this is thecondition that you must meet before you can be saved. If you believe Christ isthe Son of God and he died and rose again then you are a person that can besaved..."if"...you will obey every word of God revealed in thegospel. Your receiving truth is what saves you making you a new creation inChrist Jesus. The power of the word of truth will transform you into the imageof the Son of God filled with all his fulness. (Romans8:29) God's word is creative. It willmake a completely new creature out of the true believer that receives and obeysit. Looking at the religious world today it is easily seen that the word oftruth is not being proclaimed because the church is full of the world and theworld is full of the church. There is absolutely no change in the converts ofthe denominational churches. They are just as carnal as they were before theytook up a membership in their church they claim to belong to. The religiousworld today is filled with hypocrisy instead of the Spirit. Anybody with asecond grade education should be able to see the sickening condition of thechurch today. This nation is in the condition that it is for the very reason ofthe church being what it is. The church today is naked, wretched, poor,miserable, and blind, but they don't realize it. They think they are rich andincreased with goods and in need of nothing, but Satan has them blinded fromthe truth by his deceiving tactics. The churches teach that you are saved uponyour confession and acceptance of Christ as Lord and Saviour, but they fail tocontinue on in the word for the truth that will set them free from the power ofsin etc. The churches today are built on the wisdom and knowledge of man insteadof the truth of God's word as revealed in the gospel of Christ. Their rejectionof truth brought in their penny-enny programs such as their sewing circles andtheir ice cream socials and their once a week get togethers etc. My friend ifyou can't see the abominable sight that the church is in then you are part ifit being blind as a bat from the truth of the word of God. "And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come outof her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive notof her plagues." (Revelations 18:4)
