    One Lord One Baptism

    (Paul’s Outlook)
    II Thessalonians :3:1-5
    I Corinthians : 10: 1-5
    For I want you to know brothers that our
    fathers were all under the cloud and passed
    through the sea, and all were baptized into
    Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate
    the same spiritual food and all drank the same
    spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual
    rock that followed them and the Rock was
    Christ.
    Nevertheless, with most of them God
    was not pleased, for they were overthrown
    in the wilderness.
    II Thessaloanians

    gospel.

    ….when you received the word of


    God, which you heard from us you

    to you the gospel of God in the
    midst of much conflict.
    Acts : 18:9,10

    are my people.

    me, and if there is anything wrong
    about the man let them bring charges
    against him.”

    steadfastness of Christ
    I Corinthians: 10:13

    God is faithful and he will not


    let you be tempted beyond

    way of escape, that you may be
    able to endure it .
    Luke:22:31,32

    31. Simon, Simon, behold, Satan


    demanded to have you, that he might
    sift you like wheat.

    your faith may not fail. And when you
    have turned again, strengthen your
    brothers.

    God and knows God.

    does not know God, because God
    is love.

    seated at the right hand of the
    throne of God.
    Hebrews: 10:12,13
