HarvestHouse Academy Week 2 Course: FF 102: FOUNDATION PILLARS Text: Hebrews 6:1-3 (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, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit.

Psalm 11:3, Luke 6:47-49 After salvation, there must be a consistent growth in Grace and in the knowledge of God. II Peter 3:18. Hence, the need to understand the foundational truths of Christianity. There are six fundamental truths: 1. REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS Dead works are those things we did before we got saved. They are activities void of the life of GOD & lead to sin. Repentance is a change of the mind & attitude leading to a change of action. The marks of True repentance are (A) Godly sorrow - 2 cor 7:10, (B) Confession of sin - 1 John 1:9, (C) Forsaking sin - Proverbs 28:13, (D) A distaste for sin - Ezekiel 20:43-44 Repentance is an attitude of the heart essential to our ongoing relationship with GOD.

2. FAITH

An absolute trust in GOD without which we cannot please HIM. Hebrews 11:6. Every believer gets a measure of it at salvation. Romans 12:3 You develop it by; (a) Hearing GOD's word - Rom 10:17 & (b) Exercising it- Luke 17: 5&6 Through faith, All things are possible - Mark 9:23. The Just shall live by his faith - Habbakuk 2:4

3. BAPTISMS There are three major Baptisms: Baptism into the Body of CHRIST. 1 cor 12:3

Baptism in Water by Immersion - Identifying with the death, burial & resurrection of CHRIST by a public profession. Romans 6:3-4, Matthew 28:19. Baptism in THE HOLY SPIRIT. Acts 19:1-6

4. LAYING ON OF HANDS It had a lot of significance in the Old Testament a) In offerings made - Lev 1:1-4, b) For commissioning into leadership - Numbers 27:18-19, & Deuteronomy 34:9 c) For the impartation of The Blessing - Genesis 48:14-16 In the New Testament, the purpose is to: Impart Healing - Mark 16:17-18, Minister the baptism of The HOLY SPIRIT - Acts 9:17; 19:6 Impart Spiritual gifts & Blessings - 1 Tim 4:14, 2 Tim 1:6 To set people apart for Specific Assignment - Acts 13:2-3

a) b) c) d)

5. RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD It means a raising up 1Cor. 15:19-23 Some people were raised back to life in the bible (Lazarus - John 11:145, Jairus' daughter - Mark 5:35-42, The widow of Nain's son - Luke 7:11-16) THE LORD JESUS was raised - Matthew 28:6 There's coming A Resurrection known as The Rapture - 1 Thess 4:16-17 Resurrection day is Reward Day - 1 cor 3:10-15

6. ETERNAL JUDGMENT Everyone will live ETERNALLY whether with GOD or with the devil in the lake of fire. Revelation 21:1-8 We must beware of erroneous teachings on eternal judgment such as the doctrine of annihilation, purgatory & universal reconciliation. Saints will be judged (Romans 14:10-12). Sinners will be judged ( Rev 20:11-15) Your Eternal DESTINATION is determined by your FAITH in JESUSJohn 3:36 Your Eternal COMPENSATION is determined by your SERVICE - Rev 14:13; 20:12 This hope produces purity in the believer - 1 John 3:3, 1 Peter 3:15.
