Matthew
28:18-20
says
And
Jesus
came
and
spake
unto
them,
saying,
All
power
is
given
unto
me
in
Heaven
and
in
earth.
Go
ye
therefore,
and
teach
all
nations,
baptizing
them
in
the
name
of
the
Father,
and
of
the
Son,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost:
Teaching
them
to
observe
all
things
whatsoever
Teaching
them
to
observe
all
things
whatsoever
I
have
commanded
you:
and,
lo,
I
am
with
you
alway,
even
unto
the
end
of
the
world.
Amen.
Mark
16:15-18
says
And
he
said
unto
them,
Go
ye
into
all
the
world,
and
preach
the
gospel
to
every
creature.
He
that
believeth
and
is
baptized
shall
be
saved;
but
he
that
believeth
not
shall
be
damned.
And
these
signs
shall
follow
them
that
believe;
In
my
name
shall
they
cast
out
devils;
devils;
they
shall
speak
with
new
tongues;
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
1:6-8
says
When
they
therefore
were
come
together,
they
asked
of
him,
saying,
Lord,
wilt
thou
at
this
time
restore
again
the
kingdom
to
Israel?
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.
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.
1Corinthians
5:9-11
says
Wherefore
we
labour,
that,
whether
present
or
absent,
we
may
be
accepted
of
him.
For
we
must
all
appear
before
the
judgment
seat
of
Christ;
that
every
one
may
receive
the
things
done
in
his
body,
according
to
that
he
hath
done,
whether
it
be
good
or
bad.
Knowing
therefore
the
terror
of
the
Lord,
we
persuade
men;
but
we
are
made
manifest
unto
God;
and
I
trust
also
are
made
manifest
in
your
consciences.
All
of
these
verses
were
written
to
saved
people.
Together
they
compromise
what
we
call
'The
Great
Commission'.
This
is
the
center
of
God's
heart.
It
is
the
last
instruction
from
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
before
He
went
to
Heaven.
Therefore,
this
is
the
primary
thing
that
He
wants
the
church
to
accomplish.
Everything
that
God
allows
into
the
saved
person's
life
is
supposed
to
be
used
in
support
of
obeying
this
command.
James
4:17
says
Therefore
to
him
that
knoweth
to
do
good,
and
doeth
it
not,
to
him
it
is
sin.
If
a
saved
person
lives
their
life
and
neglects
this
command
then
they
are
living
a
life
of
sin.
The
primary
reason
for
this
message
is
to
encourage
God's
peopled
to
not
sin
by
neglecting
this
primary
command
from
God.
Lots
of
people
are
convinced
that
they
are
obeying
this
command.
However,
Matthew
7:22-23
says
Many
will
say
to
me
in
that
day,
Lord,
Lord,
have
we
not
prophesied
in
thy
name?
and
in
thy
name
have
cast
out
devils?
and
in
thy
name
done
many
wonderful
works?
And
then
will
I
profess
unto
them,
I
never
knew
you:
depart
from
me,
ye
that
work
iniquity.
'
From
here
Jesus
went
into
the
parable
of
the
wiser
man
and
of
the
foolish
man.
The
people
in
our
verse
were
sure
that
they
that
they
were
pleasing
God,
but
will
be
punished.
Therefore,
if
you
are
building
your
life
on
what
religion
tells
you
to
do
then
you
are
a
foolish
man
who
will
be
punished.
The
wise
man
did
the
extra
effort
to
dig
down
to
the
rock
,
which
is
a
type
of
Christ.
The
wise
man
took
the
extra
effort
to
verify
what
he
did
was
Christ
told
him
to
do
and
that
it
was
not
just
some
religious
belief
which
claimed
to
come
from
Christ.
Ephesians
4:4-6
says
There
is
one
body,
and
one
Spirit,
even
as
ye
are
called
in
one
hope
of
your
calling;
One
Lord,
one
faith,
one
baptism,
One
God
and
Father
of
all,
who
is
above
all,
and
through
all,
and
in
you
all.
The
fact
that
we
have
many
religions
which
claim
to
use
the
Bible
proves
that
there
are
many
people
interpreting
the
Bible
the
wrong
way
because
they
are
foolish
men
who
base
their
doctrine
on
religion.
To
be
a
wise
man
with
a
personal
relationship
with
Christ,
we
must
use
God's
perfect
Word
God's
perfect
way.
There
is
only
one
perfect
Word
(Bible),
from
God,
for
English
speaking
people
and
it
is
the
1611
KJV.
Every
other
so-called
bible
has
a
copyright
which
means
it
really
belongs
to
some
men.
Those
are
perversions
of
God's
Word.
In
John
12:48
Jesus
said
He
that
rejecteth
me,
and
receiveth
not
my
words,
hath
one
that
judgeth
him:
the
word
that
I
have
spoken,
the
same
shall
judge
him
in
the
last
day.
'When
we
are
judged
by
God
He
will
use
His
Word
to
judge
us
and
He
will
use
His
interpretation.
Therefore,
we
need
to
know
His
interpretation,
and
not
some
religion's
opinion,
so
that
we
are
ready
for
our
personal
judgment.
Religious people lead God's people into doctrinal error by using the method that Satan used when he tempted Jesus. They quote part of the Bible but leave out a critical part of what they quote. At least 85% of doctrinal error can be corrected by looking at the context of any verse which someone quotes. In this case, people tell us that we have a 'God breathed' word of God. While that sounds good, it leaves the opening for someone to claim that man corrupted God's Word, since the time that it was 'God breathed', and that we cannot trust what is available to us today.
The
truth
is
that
we
have
we
have
a
'God
breathed,
God
translated,
God
preserved'
word
of
God
in
the
English
language
which
is
available
to
us
today
and
it
reveals
our
God
to
us.
If
this
is
not
true
that
what
you
were
shown
and
told
was
the
word
of
God
is
no
longer
the
word
of
God
because
it
has
been
corrupted
and
there
is
no
corruption
in
God.
You
are
still
lost
in
your
sin
if
you
put
your
trust
in
anything
other
than
the
perfect
incorruptible
(1Peter
1:23).
If
the
word
of
God
that
you
trusted
for
salvation
was
incorruptible
at
that
the
time
of
your
salvation,
then
it
still
is
and
is
to
still
be
trusted
for
sanctification.
Claiming
anything
less
matches
the
character
of
Satan
and
not
the
character
of
the
God
of
the
Bible
(1John
4:1).
What's
more,
The
Bible
tells
us
that
we
have
a
perfect
word
of
God
which
gives
us
God's
perfect
way
(2Samuel
22:31;
Psalms
18:30)
to
interpret
the
Bible
and
give
us
a
perfect
picture
(John
1:1,
John
1:14)
of
a
perfect
God.
Since
we
have
One
Lord,
one
faith,
one
baptism,
One
God
and
Father
of
all
,
we
MUST
have
only
one
correct
interpretation
of
our
Bible.
There
are
many
applications,
but
only
one
interpretation.
God
does
not
change
(Malachi
3:6;
Hebrews
13:8).
Therefore,
God's
Word
does
not
change.
In
particular,
there
is
a
one-to-one
relationship
between
a
word
in
the
Bible
and
its
meaning.
No
two
words
in
the
Bible
have
the
same
meaning.
Deuteronomy
8:3;
Proverbs
30:5;
Matthew
4:4
and
Luke
4:4
all
tell
us
Man
shall
not
live
by
bread
alone,
but
by
every
word
that
proceedeth
out
of
the
mouth
of
God
. 'The
phrase
that
proceedeth
out
of
the
mouth
of
God
means
that
we
must
use
God's
definitions
for
God's
words,
and
not
definitions
for
God's
words,
and
not
definitions
from
men,
if
we
want
the
correct
interpretation.
Without
going
into
all
that
is
involved,
I
will
say
that
people
are
going
to
'the
Greek'
and
other
things
because
they
don't
know
their
English.
I
have
interpreted
over
6,000
verses
and
cross
referenced
them
to
over
125,000
verses.
I
have
published
my
work
on
the
web
where
anyone
in
the
world
can
show
me
any
error
in
it
and
no
one
has
done
so.
I
have
gone
to
'the
Greek'
only
twice
and
that
was
only
for
words
which
occur
only
once
in
the
Bible.
If
people
used
God's
definitions
for
words,
and
considered
every
word
,
and
considered
every
jot
and
title
(punctuation),
they
would
have
one
interpretation
which
NEVER
disagrees
with
any
other
part
of
the
Bible.
This
result
in
only
possible
when
we
use
God's
perfect
way
to
interpret
God's
perfect
word
. 'Anything
else
will
lead
you
into
error
and
foolishness
which
will
bring
the
judgment
of
God
upon
you.
I
don't
have
time
to
explain
all
that
is
involved
in
God's
perfect
way
to
interpret
God's
perfect
Word
,
but
I
can
do
a
demonstration
and
you
can
see
the
results
for
yourself.
What
comes
next
is
a
simplified
interpretation
of
the
verses
which
we
started
with.
Anyone
who
uses
the
rules
of
interpretation
which
God
gave
to
me
will
get
the
same
results.
The
only
way
that
we
can
have
One
Lord,
one
faith,
one
baptism,
One
God
and
Father
of
all
is
if
we
use
God's
perfect
Word
God's
perfect
way.
That
means
that
we
must
all
use
rules
of
interpretation
which
result
in
the
same
interpretation,
regardless
of
who
does
the
work
or
when
or
where
they''
do
it.
With
that
basis
said,
we
will
interpret
these
verses.
I
already
said
that
God
has
a
one-to-one
relationship
between
words
of
the
Bible
and
their
meaning.
Within
our
verses
we
see
the
word
ye
and
the
word
you
. 'Many
people
believe
the
doctrinal
error
that
these
two
words
have
the
same
meaning.
They
do
not
and
understanding
the
difference
is
critical
to
a
proper
interpretation
of
'The
Great
Commission'.
Let me start with a quick summary of what we are commanded to do. This command:
go)
ye)
into all the world,
all nations)
teach all nations,
preach the gospel to every creature)
baptizing them in the name',
is baptized shall be saved)
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,
In my name)
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned)
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you)
Now we will look a little closer at the words of this command.
The
word
ye
means
'each
and
every
one
of
you
personally'.
This
is
a
command
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
personally
are
given
by
God
and
that
we
will
have
to
personally
answer
for
at
our
personal
judgment
by
God.
The
word
you
is
the
entire
group.
What
we
are
to
preach
and
teach
is
all
things
whatsoever
I
have
commanded
you
. 'Our
KJV
1611
Bible
has
what
God
delivered
to
the
church
(to
the
entire
group
of
saved
people)
to
preach
and
teach.
We
are
not
to
preach
some
'personal
revelation'
like
all
of
these
so-called
prophecy
preachers
are
teaching.
We
are
not
to
add
to
God's
Word
or
neglect
any
part
of
God's
Word.
We
are
to
put
the
same
emphasis
as
God
does
on
things
within
the
Bible.
Thus,
we
are
not
to
preach
always
about
the
blessings
from
God
and
neglect
to
mention
God's
requirements
for
getting
those
blessings.
Neither
are
we
to
neglect
the
punishment
for
God's
people
when
they
sin
such
as
by
neglecting
to
obey
or
wasting
their
life
seeking
the
things
of
this
world.
What
we
are
to
teach
and
preach
is
also
called
the
gospel
in
our
verses.
'The
word
the
means
'there
is
only
one
and
here
it
is'.
There
is
only
one
true
Biblical
gospel.
The
Bible
warns
us
about
another
gospel
and
warns
of
the
judgment
of
God
on
us
if
we
believe
another
gospel
. 'In
addition,
to
another
gospel
. 'In
addition,
to
another
gospel
the
Bible
names
10
different
gospel
,
which
are
actually
all
the
same
gospel
but
presented
from
different
perspectives
and
with
different
emphasis
on
parts
of
the
whole.
(Please
see
the
Word
Study
on
Gospel
and
the
Gospel
Flowchart
for
more
details.)
For
example,
we
can
look
at
the
head
of
a
coin,
the
tail
of
it,
the
edge
of
it
or
the
metal
content.
Each
view
shows
something
different
but
it
is
only
one
coin.
Likewise,
these
different
gospel
are
different
views
of
the
same
basic
gospel
of
God
with
Matthew,
Mark,
Luke
and
John
being
our
examples
of
how
to
present
the
entire
Biblical
Gospel
. 'This
is
important
because
we
have
all
sorts
of
messages
which
are
called
gospel
and
even
people
claiming
to
preach
a
'full
gospel'.
With
that
in
mind,
we
can
now
look
at
the
true
Biblical
gospel
that
we
are
to
preach
and
teach.
Basically,
God
had
a
personal
relationship
with
Adam
and
Eve
before
they
sinned.
They
walked
together
and
had
personal
fellowship
on
a
daily
basis
before
they
sinned.
The
gospel
of
God
is
the
'good
news'
that
God
wants
the
same
type
of
relationship
with
each
person
and
He
wants
it
on
a
personal
basis.
However,
just
as
sin
separated
Adam
and
Eve
from
God,
so
also
does
it
separate
us
from
God.
In
addition,
please
notice
that
Adam
and
Eve
were
sinless
children
of
God
when
they
first
sinned,
and
that
resulted
in
their
separation
from
God.
Therefore,
the
sin
of
the
child
of
God
will
also
separate
the
saved
child
of
God
from
God.
Therefore,
the
true
gospel
of
God
not
only
tells
us
how
to
get
rid
of
the
sin
that
separates
us
from
God,
but
it
also
tells
us
how
to
keep
further
sin
from
separating
us
from
God
after
we
initially
get
saved.
Think about this folks. When your child deliberately does something that they know is wrong, you have a responsibility to correct them. You can't take them out to do something that they think is fun before you correct them or they will be rewarded for doing wrong and do it more often. The same thing is true about the relationship between God and the child of God who deliberately sins.
Satan hates all people. Satan wants people to believe in a religious, but wrong, method of salvation so that they go to Hell while being positive that they will go to Heaven. If Satan can't get you to believe a lie in order to keep you from being truly Biblically saved, then he wants you to believe a lie which will keep you from all of the blessings that are available from your salvation. True Biblical salvation is having God's life in us so that we can live with Him and have an eternal ongoing personal relationship with God. However, since we all start out as sinners, we must accept God's plan of salvation and do so using our own free will.
receivethe Son of God is equal to (
eve)
believe on his name, which is the requirement to
know that we have eternal lifeand the requirement for spiritual growth. We are to
receive himfor an ongoing personal relationship that is pictured by a marriage relationship (Ephesians 5:31-32).
receive himso that He can change our basic nature. Romans 3:21-25 says
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. We are not condemned because we do sin but because our basic nature makes us sinners and forces us to continually sin. Only by receiving the
faith of Jesus Christcan our basic nature be changed and we receive
the righteousness of God.
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
righteousand also remove the record of our sin, He sent His Son to live and die as a human being. Then God counted His death as payment for the sins of those who
receive Him. 'Romans 5:8-9 says
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Lord. 'Not as
Jesusor as
Saviorbut as
Lord, which means we are agreeing to obey Him for the rest of our lives. (Doctrinal error teaches the lie from Satan that this distinction, which comes literally from the Bible, does not matter. However, that claim goes against God's command to
live...by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.) Romans 10:10, 13 says
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation'For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
While
the
Bible
tells
us
how
to
get
saved,
the
fact
is
that
the
majority
of
it
deals
with
how
we
are
to
maintain
our
personal
relationship
with
Him
after
our
salvation.
All
of
this
additional
instructions
are
part
of
what
we
are
to
be
Teaching
them
to
observe
all
things
whatsoever
I
have
commanded
you
. 'Thus,
'The
Great
commission'
is
far
more
than
just
getting
people
to
make
a
profession.
In
addition,
we
can't
teach
someone
else
to
obey
what
we
refuse
to
obey.
Therefore,
the
first
step
after
getting
saved
is
to
learn
what
God
expects
from
us
in
this
new
relationship
with
Him.
As
we
learn,
we
are
to
'trust
and
obey'.
Further,
we
are
told
how
to
tell
if
we
are,
or
are
not,
doing
as
