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."
WATER BAPTISM
- Strongs 907. baptizo, bap-tid'-zo; from a der. of
G911; to make whelmed (i.e. fully wet);used only (in the N.T.)

- (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:"
- (Mat 3:11 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:"
- (Luke 3:2-3 KJV)

unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. {3} And he
came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism
of repentance for the remission of sins;"
- (Mat 4:13-17 KJV) "And
leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon
the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: {14}
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, {15} The land of Zabulon, and the land of
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."

like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer

Christ:"

God, being baptized with the baptism of John. {30}
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
against themselves, being not baptized of him."
- (Mat 21:25-27 KJV)
"The
baptism 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."
- (Mat 28:19 KJV) "Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

Christ, {15} Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is
named,"

whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."

come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another
shall come in his own name, him ye will receive."

did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism

answer me. {31} And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we
shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe
him? {32} But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people:
for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. {33} And
they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus
answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what
authority I do these things."

when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was
opened,"
- (John 1:25-33 KJV)

thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that
prophet? {26} John answered them, saying, I baptize with
water: but there standeth one among you, 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 baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom
thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the
same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost."
- (John 3:22-23 KJV)

brethren, what shall we do? {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, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost. {39} For the promise is unto you, and to
your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call."

eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things
of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. {26} And
he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and
Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto
him the way of God more perfectly."
- (Acts 19:3-5 KJV) "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."
- (1 Cor 1:14-17 KJV) "I
thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and
Gaius; {15} Lest any should say that I had baptized in
mine own name. {16} And I baptized also the household of
Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any
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 on unto perfection; not laying

eternal judgment."

indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he

thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the
garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

of thee, and comest thou to me?"
- (John 7:37-39 KJV) "In
the last day, 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, as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living 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.)"

the Comforter, 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 I have said unto you."

the tree were for the healing of the nations."

with you, and shall be in you. {18} I will not leave you
comfortless: I will come to you."

being assembled 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."

said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
brethren, what shall we do? {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, and ye shall receive the gift
of the Holy Ghost. {39} For the promise is unto you, and to your
children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord
our God shall call."

will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and

promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are
afar off, even as many as the Lord our God 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."
- (Mark 16:17-18 KJV)
"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover."

he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi;

maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered."

they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
- (Rom 8:11-16 KJV) "But
if 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:"

God commendeth 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 be saved from wrath through
him. {10} For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to
God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we
shall be saved by his life."
- (1 Cor 10:16 KJV) "The
cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the
blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not
the communion of the body of Christ?"
- (John 6:53-58 KJV)
"Then Jesus said 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 shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was
before? {63} It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh

for many for the remission of sins."

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."
- (Acts 2:33 KJV)
"Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having
received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath
shed
forth this, which ye now see and hear."
- (Rom 5:5 KJV) "And
hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
- (Titus 3:5-6 KJV) "Not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to
his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and
renewing of the Holy Ghost; {6} Which he shed on us
abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;"
- (Heb 9:7-8 KJV) "But
into the second went the high priest alone once every year,
not without blood,which 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."
- (Rev 1:5 KJV) "And
from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first
begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his
own blood,"
- (Rev 19:13 KJV) "And
he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is
called The Word of God."
- (Rev 12:11 KJV) "And
they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
- (Rev 7:14 KJV) "And I
said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are
they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed
their robes, and made them white in the blood of
the Lamb."
- (Rev 5:9 KJV) "And
they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book,
and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast
redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and
tongue, and people, and nation;"

is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by
water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that
beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth."

if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have

Son cleanseth us from all sin."

with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot:"

"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for
ever."

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through
sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling
of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be
multiplied."

the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord
Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of
the everlasting covenant,"
- (Heb 13:12 KJV)
"Wherefore Jesus also, 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?"
- (Heb 10:19 KJV)
"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the
holiest by the blood of Jesus,"
- (Heb 10:20-22 KJV) "By
a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through
the veil, that is to say, his flesh; {21} And having an high
priest over the house of God; {22} Let us draw near with a true
heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled
from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."
- (Heb 9:7-8 KJV) "But
into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not
without blood, which 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:"

whom we have redemption through his blood, even the
forgiveness of sins: {15} Who is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of every creature:"
- (Eph 2:12-18 KJV)
"That at that time 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."
- (Eph 1:7 KJV) "In whom
we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;"

this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."
- (1 Cor 11:27 KJV)
"Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of
the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of
the Lord."
- (1 Cor 10:16-17 KJV)
"The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of
the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the
communion of the body of Christ? {17} For 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, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through him. {10} For if, when we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."
- (Rom 3:25 KJV) "Whom
God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his
blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins
that are past, through the forbearance of God;"

heed therefore 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."
- (Gen 9:4 KJV) "But
flesh with the 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."
- (Isa 4:4 KJV) "When
the Lord shall 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."
- (Deu 34:9 KJV) "And
Joshua the son 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."
- (Mat 9:18 KJV) "While
he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain
ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead:
but come and lay thy hand upon 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;"
- (2 Pet 2:10 KJV) "But
chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they,
selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities."
- (2 Pet 2:17 KJV)
"These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a
tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever."
- (2 Tim 1:6 KJV)

when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had
prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on
whom they believed."
- (1 Pet 5:5-6 KJV)
"Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea,
all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with
humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace 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."
- (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."
- (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,"
- (2 Cor 10:8 KJV) "For
though I should 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. {13} For Adam was first formed,
then Eve. {14} And Adam was not deceived, 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."
- (Luke 7:8-9 KJV) "For
I also am 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,

unprofitable for you."

ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth,

giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with
diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness."

boasting 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

he that overcometh, 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."
- (Rom 15:20 KJV)
"Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ

- (1 Tim 5:21-22 KJV) "I
charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect

abomination unto him: {17} A proud look, a lying tongue, and
hands that shed innocent blood, {18} An heart that deviseth
wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
{19} A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth
discord among brethren."

man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh
surety in the presence of his friend."
- (Isa 58:5-9 KJV) "Is
it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict
his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread
sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and
an acceptable day to the LORD? {6} Is not this the fast that I
have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy
burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break
every yoke? {7} Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and
that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when
thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide
not thyself from thine own flesh? {8} Then shall thy light break
forth as the morning, and thine health shall 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 LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I
am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke,
the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;"
- (Isa 59:1-3 KJV)
"Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;
neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: {2} But your
iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your
sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. {3} For
your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with
iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered
perverseness."

"And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD,
according to all that David his father had done. {3} He in the
first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors
of the house of the LORD, and repaired them. {4} And he
brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered 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 turned away their faces from the
habitation of the LORD, and turned their 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."
