FOUR MAJOR DOCTRINES_____________
This is an enlargement and placement of full scripture based on the
Four Major Doctrine Article By Unknown author. That article is a composite
of the teachings of Bro. Will Sowders And the body of Christ.
-
(Heb 6:1-6 KJV) "Therefore leaving
the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection;
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith
toward God, {2} Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on
of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal
judgment. {3} And this will we do, if God permit. {4} For it is impossible
for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly
gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, {5} And have
tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
{6} If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing
they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open
shame."

(Mat 3:6-8 KJV) "And were baptized
of
him in Jordan, confessing their sins. {7} But when he saw many of the Pharisees
and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation
of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? {8} Bring
forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:"
-
(Luke 3:7-16 KJV) "Then said he to
the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation
of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? {8} Bring
forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within
yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God
is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. {9} And now
also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. {10}
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? {11} He answereth
and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that
hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. {12} Then came also
publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall
we do? {13} And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed
you. {14} And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall
we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any
falsely; and be content with your wages. {15} And as the people were in
expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were
the Christ, or not; {16} John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed
baptize
you
with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes
I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost
and with fire:"
-

Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
{16} The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which
sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. {17} From that
time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand."

of
John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves,
saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not
then believe him? {26} But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people;
for all hold John as a prophet. {27} And they answered Jesus, and said,
We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority
I do these things."

then did ye not believe him? {32} But if we shall say, Of men; they feared

whom ye know not; {27} He it is, who coming after me is preferred before
me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. {28} These things
were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
{29} The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. {30} This is he of
whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he
was before me. {31} And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest
to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. {32} And John
bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove,
and it abode upon him. {33} And I knew him not: but he that sent me to

with the Holy
Ghost."

say that I had baptized in mine own name. {16} And I baptized
also

other. {17} For 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."
BAPTISM OF HOLY GHOST
-
Heb 6:1-2 KJV
"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go

you
with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than

the Holy Ghost, and with fire: {12} Whose fan is in his hand, and he will
thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he
will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. {13} Then cometh Jesus from

thou to me?"

that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man
thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. {38} He that believeth on me,

water. {39} (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on
him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that
Jesus was not yet glorified.)"

which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall
teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever

the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide

comfortless: I will come to you."

together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem,
but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard
of me. {5} For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized
with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. {6} When they therefore were come
together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore
again the kingdom to Israel? {7} And he said unto them, It is not for you
to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own
power. {8} But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
-
(Acts 2:1-4 KJV) "And when the day
of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
{2} And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. {3} And there
appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each
of them. {4} And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
-
(Acts 10:44-47 KJV) "While Peter yet
spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
{45} And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many
as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the
gift of the Holy Ghost. {46} For they heard them speak with tongues, and
magnify God. Then answered Peter, {47} Can any man forbid water, that these
should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?"
-
(Acts 11:15-18 KJV) "And as I began
to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. {16}
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized
with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. {17} Forasmuch
then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on
the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? {18} When
they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying,
Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life."
-
(Acts 19:1-6 KJV) "And it came to
pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the
upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, {2} He said
unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they
said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
{3} And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said,
Unto John's baptism. {4} Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the
baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe
on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. {5} When
they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. {6}
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them;
and they spake with tongues, and prophesied."
-
(1 Cor 14:21-22 KJV) "In the law it
is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto
this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
{22} Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to
them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe
not, but for them which believe."
-
(Isa 28:9-12 KJV) "Whom shall he teach
knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are
weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. {10} For precept must
be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line;
here a little, and there a little: {11} For with stammering lips and another
tongue will he speak to this people. {12} To whom he said, This is the
rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing:
yet they would not hear."
-
(Acts 2:13-18 KJV) "Others mocking
said, These men are full of new wine. {14} But Peter, standing up with
the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea,
and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken
to my words: {15} For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is
but the third hour of the day. {16} But this is that which was spoken by
the prophet Joel; {17} And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith
God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your
old men shall dream dreams: {18} And on my servants and on my handmaidens
I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:"
-
(Joel 2:28-32 KJV) "And it shall come
to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your
sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions: {29} And also upon the servants and upon
the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. {30} And I will
show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars
of smoke. {31} The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. {32} And
it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD
shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance,
as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."

-
(John 3:3-8 KJV) "Jesus answered and
said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God. {4} Nicodemus saith unto him, How can
a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's
womb, and be born? {5} Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God. {6} That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that
which is born of the Spirit is spirit. {7} Marvel not that I said unto
thee, Ye must be born again. {8} The wind bloweth where it listeth, and
thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and
whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."

of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised
up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit
that dwelleth in you. {12} Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to
the flesh, to live after the flesh. {13} For if ye live after the flesh,
ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the
body, ye shall live. {14} For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
they are the sons of God. {15} For ye have not received the spirit of bondage
again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we
cry, Abba, Father. {16} The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit,
that we are the children of God:"

his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for
us. {9} Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall

were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled,
we
shall be saved by his life."

unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the
Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. {54} Whoso
eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I
will raise him up at the last day. {55} For my flesh is meat indeed, and
my blood is drink indeed. {56} He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh
my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. {57} As the living Father
hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall
live by me. {58} This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as
your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread
shall live for ever."
-
(John 6:62-63 KJV) "What and if ye

he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: {8} The
Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all
was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:"
-
(Heb 9:18-22 KJV) "Whereupon neither
the first testament was dedicated without blood. {19} For when Moses
had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he
took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and
hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, {20} Saying,
This
is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. {21}
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels
of the ministry. {22} And almost all things are by the law purged with
blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
-
(Mark 14:24-25 KJV) "And he said unto
them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for
many. {25} Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of
the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of
the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,"

that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without
the gate."
-
(Heb 12:24 KJV) "And to Jesus the
mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that
speaketh better things than that of Abel."
-
(Heb 11:28 KJV) "Through faith he
kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed
the firstborn should touch them."
-
(Heb 10:29 KJV) "Of how much sorer
punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under
foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant,
wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto
the Spirit of grace?"

ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,
and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without
God in the world: {13} But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far
off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. {14} For he is our peace,
who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
partition between us; {15} Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself
of twain one new man, so making peace; {16} And that he might reconcile
both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity
thereby: {17} And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and
to them that were nigh. {18} For through him we both have access by
one Spirit unto the Father."

we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of
that one bread."
-
(Rom 5:9-10 KJV) "Much more then,

life."

unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath
made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased
with his own blood."

life
thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat."
-
(Lev 17:14 KJV) "For it is the life
of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I
said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of
flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth
it shall be cut off."
BAPTISM OF FIRE
Jesus had already been baptised in water and Holy Ghost So this
is a different baptism
-
(Mat 3:11-12 KJV) "I indeed baptize
you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier
than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with
the Holy Ghost, and with fire: {12} Whose fan is in his hand, and he will
thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he
will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
-
(Luke 12:49-50 KJV) "I am come to
send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
{50} But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened
till it be accomplished!"
-
(Mat 20:22-23 KJV) "But Jesus answered
and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that
I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that
I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. {23} And he
saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with
the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right
hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them
for whom it is prepared of my Father."
-
(1 Cor 15:29-32 KJV) "Else what shall
they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at
all? why are they then baptized for the dead? {30} And why stand
we in jeopardy every hour? {31} I protest by your rejoicing which I have
in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. {32} If after the manner
of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if
the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die."
-
. (Rom 6:1-10 KJV) "What shall we
say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? {2} God forbid.
How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? {3} Know ye
not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were
baptized into his death? {4} Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. {5}
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall
be also in the likeness of his resurrection: {6} Knowing this, that
our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. {7} For he that
is dead is freed from sin. {8} Now if we be dead with Christ, we
believe that we shall also live with him: {9} Knowing that Christ being
raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
{10} For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth,
he liveth unto God."
-
(1 Cor 3:11-15 KJV) "For other foundation
can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. {12} Now if any
man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
stubble; {13} Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall
declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire
shall try every man's work of what sort it is. {14} If any man's work
abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. {15} If
any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall
be
saved; yet so as by fire."
-
(Gal 3:25-28 KJV) "But after that
faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. {26} For ye are all
the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. {27} For as many of you as
have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. {28} There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither
male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
-
(Exo 12:8-10 KJV) "And they shall
eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and
with bitter herbs they shall eat it. {9} Eat not of it raw, nor sodden
at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with
the purtenance thereof. {10} And ye shall let nothing of it remain until
the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall
burn with fire."

have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged
the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment,
and by the spirit of burning."
-
(Isa 48:10 KJV) "Behold, I have refined
thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."
-
(1 Pet 1:7 KJV) "That the trial of
your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though
it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ:"
-
(1 Pet 4:6 KJV) "For for this cause
was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be
judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the
spirit."
-
(1 Pet 4:12-14 KJV) "Beloved, think
it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though
some strange thing happened unto you: {13} But rejoice, inasmuch as ye
are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed,
ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. {14} If ye be reproached for the
name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth
upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified."
-
(Psa 66:9-12 KJV) "Which holdeth our
soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. {10} For thou, O
God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. {11} Thou
broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. {12}
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through
water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place."
-
(Dan 3:19-27 KJV) "Then was Nebuchadnezzar
full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should
heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. {20}
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
{21} Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats,
and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning
fiery furnace. {22} Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent,
and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men
that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. {23} And these three
men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst
of the burning fiery furnace. {24} Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was
astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors,
Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered
and said unto the king, True, O king. {25} He answered and said, Lo,
I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no
hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. {26} Then
Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and
spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most
high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
came forth of the midst of the fire. {27} And the princes, governors, and
captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these
men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their
head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire
had passed on them."
-
(Mat 10:28 KJV) "And fear not them
which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather
fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
LAYING ON OF HANDS
-
(Heb 6:1-6 KJV) "Therefore leaving
the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection;
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith
toward God, {2} Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of
hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
{3} And this will we do, if God permit. {4} For it is impossible for those
who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were
made partakers of the Holy Ghost, {5} And have tasted the good word of
God, and the powers of the world to come, {6} If they shall fall away,
to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves
the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."
-
(Num 27:22-23 KJV) "And Moses did
as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar
the priest, and before all the congregation: {23} And he laid his hands
upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand
of Moses."

of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands
upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as
the LORD commanded Moses."

(Mark 16:15-18 KJV) "And he said unto
them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
{16} He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned. {17} And these signs shall follow them that
believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak
with new tongues; {18} They shall take up serpents; and if they
drink
any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on
the sick, and they shall recover."
-
(Acts 19:11 KJV) "And God wrought
special miracles by the hands of Paul:"
-
(James 5:14 KJV) "Is any sick among
you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over
him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:"
-
(Mark 6:5 KJV) "And he could there
do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk,
and healed them."
-

things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him,

her, and she shall live."

(Acts 3:6-7 KJV) "Then Peter said,
Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. {7} And he took him by
the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet
and ankle bones received strength."
-
(Acts 8:17-20 KJV) "Then laid they
their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. {18} And when
Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy
Ghost was given, he offered them money, {19} Saying, Give me also this
power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
{20} But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou
hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money."
-
(Acts 6:5-6 KJV) "And the saying pleased
the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of
the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and
Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: {6} Whom they set before
the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them."
-
(Phil 2:22 KJV) "But ye know the proof
of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the
gospel."
-
(1 Tim 5:17-22 KJV) "Let the elders
that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who
labour in the word and doctrine. {18} For the scripture saith, Thou shalt
not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy
of his reward. {19} Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before
two or three witnesses. {20} Them that sin rebuke before all, that others
also may fear. {21} I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring
one before another, doing nothing by partiality. {22} Lay hands suddenly
on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure."
-
(1 Ki 18:44 KJV) "And it came to pass
at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud
out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab,
Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not."
-
(Jude 1:12 KJV) "These are spots in
your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without
fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees
whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"

that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government.

submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another,

to the humble. {6} Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand
of God, that he may exalt you in due time:"
-
(Gal 4:11-14 KJV) "I am afraid of
you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. {12} Brethren, I
beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me
at all. {13} Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the
gospel unto you at the first. {14} And my temptation which was in my flesh
ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even
as Christ Jesus."
-
(Gal 1:6-9 KJV) "I marvel that ye
are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto
another gospel: {7} Which is not another; but there be some that trouble
you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. {8} But though we, or an angel
from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed. {9} As we said before, so say I
now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that
ye have received, let him be accursed."
-
(2 Cor 11:2-4 KJV) "For I am jealous
over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that
I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. {3} But I fear, lest by
any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds
should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. {4} For if
he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached,
or
if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another
gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."
-
(Gal 1:9 KJV) "As we said before,
so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than
that ye have received, let him be accursed."

was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might
be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the
spirit."

(Mark 13:34-37 KJV) "For the Son of
man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority
to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the
porter to watch. {35} Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master
of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or
in the morning: {36} Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. {37} And
what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."
-
(Acts 26:12 KJV) "Whereupon as I went
to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,"

boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for
edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:"
-
(1 Tim 2:11-14 KJV) "Let the woman
learn in silence with all subjection. {12} But I suffer not a woman to
teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."
-
(Titus 2:15 KJV) "These things speak,
and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee."

a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto
one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant,
Do this, and he doeth it. {9} When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled
at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him,
I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."
-
(Heb 13:17 KJV) "Obey them that
have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your
souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and

(Rom 12:7-8 KJV) "Or ministry, let
us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; {8} Or he

of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but
having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by
you according to our rule abundantly, {16} To preach the gospel
in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of
things made ready to our hand."
-
(1 Tim 3:4-5 KJV) "One that ruleth

and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
{27} And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of
a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father."
-
(Rom 10:13-17 KJV) "For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. {14} How then shall
they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they
believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear
without a preacher? {15} And how shall they preach, except they
be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach
the
gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! {16} But they have
not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our
report? {17} So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God."

spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the
glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. {9} Then shalt thou call, and

the finger, and speaking vanity;"

your
lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness."

them together into the east street, {5} And said unto them, Hear me,
ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of
the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the
holy place. {6} For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which
was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have

backs. {7} Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put
out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt
offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel."
