    • "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." John 12:32
    What makes us repent?
    • "Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?" Romans 2:4

    Cautions

  • The Seventy-Two Return with Joy 
  • Luke 10:17And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
    • 1 Cor 3:6-9 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

    The baptism not the baptizer matters 

    • 1 Cor 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 14I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
    Who are present/involved in baptism?
    • "the highest authorities are taken hold of by the expressed faith of the human agent. The eternal Godhead—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost—is involved"
    Is baptism the end of evangelism?

    • "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" Matthew 28:19-20
    • It should be the work of every teacher to make prominent those truths that have called us out to stand as a peculiar people before the world..." {CT 250.2}
    How to preach Christ?
    • Philippians 1:15Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
    • Acts 4:31 and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
    How to have the Holy Spirit? 100% proven!
    • Acts 2:38 "Repent, ... and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
    • Luke 11:13 "how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him"
    • 1 John 2:3 "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments."
