WHY WAS JESUS CHRIST BAPTIZED? We read in Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…….”. But Christ was not baptized for the remission of sins because He was sinless as it is written, “Who did no […]

WILL ALL ISRAEL BE SAVED? We read in Romans 11:26, “So all Israel shall be saved…..”. Does that mean that every person that was born of the seed of Abraham will be raised for resurrection life, whether or not they believed in the One true God, whether or not they worshipped idols? I believe the […]

WILL THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BE ESTABLISHED BEFORE THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST? Some students of God’s Word believe that the kingdom of Heaven is not the millennial reign and will be established in an age that follows the dispensation of the mystery, but precedes the second coming of Christ. I disagree with that view […]

WHO IS “MESSIAH THE PRINCE”? We read in Dan. 9:25, “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks and threescore and two weeks….”. This prophecy has many interpretations. Some have suggested that the title “Messiah the […]

ARE WE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION? INTRODUCTION The question is often asked, especially among dispensationalists, “when did the church begin?”. Many believe that because the church is characterized by an equality of Jews and Gentiles that the church began when that characterization was manifested. Many say that the preaching of the gospel of salvation to […]

A STUDY OF THE MEANING OF THE VARIOUS BAPTISMS OF THE BIBLE BAPTISM IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND GOSPEL PERIOD The New Testament opens with John the Baptist calling on Israel to “Repent .., for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand” (Matt. 3:2). Then we read in Matt. 3:5-6 that those who went out […]

A DISPENSATIONAL STUDY OF THE STONING OF STEPHEN We read in Acts 6:5 that Stephen was “a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost and wisdom”. In verse 9 of that chapter we read that “…there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, […]

A STUDY OF THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS IN REVELATION   INTRODUCTION   There is much confusion in regard to the day of the Lord and the Lord’s day. Many believe that they are the same. I believe that the Greek phrase in Rev. 1:10 translated “Lord’s Day” includes the day of the Lord as well as […]

WHO WILL GO INTO EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT? Matt. 25:31-46 records the judgment of nations at the second coming of Christ. Some will “inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matt. 25:34). It is about these that Christ said that the righteous shall enter into eternal life (verse 46). But some will […]

WHY ARE THERE OLD TESTAMENT QUOTES IN THE PRISON EPISTLES? There are eight Old Testament passages quoted in the prison epistles. If Israel was set aside at Acts 28, and I believe She was, why are there any Old Testament quotes in the prison epistles? I will address that question as we consider the following […]

ARE MEN IN AUTHORITY OVER WOMEN? To be sure the question posed in the title of this paper is a controversial one. But it is an important one, and I will address it from a purely scriptural point of view. I believe that the Word of God teaches that husbands are in authority over their […]
