Faith and Practice of True Baptist

The world is very different than it was in the time of Christ. There are many different so-called churches that proclaim to believe and practice the way that Jesus taught in His personal ministry. With so many varieties, it leaves you wondering just who is really correct. The individual must search the scriptures with humility of heart and seek the things that the Holy Spirit of God will reveal.

ORIGIN OF SIN

The first appearance of sin occurred in HEAVEN, when the pride of Satan and his band of Angels tried to take over the throne of Almighty GOD. Revelation chapter 12 verse 7 of the King James Version of the HOLY BIBLE states that there was war in heaven Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. Verse 8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place any more in heaven. Verse 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, or Satan, which deceive the whole world. He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Verses 10 – 12 will be paraphrased.

   Paul and Barnabas were sent out from the church in Antioch to reach the Gentile world. They began what is known as the first missionary journey. They proceeded across the Mediterranean Sea to the area known as Galatia. They came to another town called Antioch, and there preached Christ, created a riot, and were thrown out of town. But they didn’t quit. They proceeded father into Asia Minor (Galatia in particular) to a town called Iconium. In Iconium they were using their spiritual gifts.
