Questions about the Greatest Question
Acts 16:29-34
Jailor asked the greatest question known to man.
Method this evening a little unusual, going to simply ask a series of questions and give scripture for answer.
I will not comment on the text. Lest anyone would say, "That is just your interpretation."
Many views concerning the doctrine of salvation (grace only, faith only, just say the sinner’s pray, or it really doesn’t matter)
But tonight we are going to let the Bible speak for itself.
Please look up passages with me; take notes if you like. Many of these passages could be quoted from memory but we want all concern to see, that it is right out of the word of truth.
