SALVATION - ONLY THROUGH CHRIST JESUS

There are many churches. But Jesus Christ promised his church to come soon in Matthew 16:18 when he said “I will build my church.” It was not yet established, for he had not yet died and been resurrected. Those were the proof that he is indeed, the Lord, the fulfillment of many of the prophecies of old. Following the events of that first Pentecost after his resurrection, he would make use his powers to their full. Matthew 28:18. That power was both in heaven and earth., It was shown on that day in the marvelous events and the response of the people in their repentance, and baptism. Thousand were freed of their sins, and received the Holy Ghost as they were obedient in being baptized. Acts 2:38, and Acts 2:41. They were added to his church by Jesus Christ himself. Acts 2:47. Persecutions were quickly to follow. As always, Satan is quick to respond In this case, he used the established religion at hand, as he always does. There are only two religions, that which is Holy Spirit guided, Christianity, and that which is of men and is guided by Satan and his evil spirits, whether it is a perversion of Christianity or a purely earthly in origin, whether a cult or totally pagan.

Acts 4:5-12 (King James Version, I use it because it is Public Domain, not necessarily because it is the best translation available.)
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, (Acts 2:4, Acts 13:9, Luke 23:13, Acts 4:5)
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. (Acts 2:22, Acts 3:6, Acts 2:24)
11 This is the stone which was set at naught of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. (Matthew 21:42, Psalm 118:22, Mark 9:12)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Matthew 1:21, 1 Timothy 2:5, Acts 10:43:5, John 10:7-8, John 14:6)
It can not be put more clearly than is scripture, “there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” All authority is given to Christ Jesus. He is Lord over all, heaven and earth. He established his church, on Pentecost following soon after his resurrection and ascension back to Heaven. There is salvation him, his body, the church. His church has a message for the world. Worship the Lord of Heaven and Earth for he is the Lord of Lords and he is coming for his own to take them home, sooner than you think!

This is allegedly a true story from the old airport in Denver: A major airline had cancelled a very busy flight and a lone check-in agent is busy trying to sort out all the displaced passengers. A very angry and aggressive man barges his way to the front of the line to confront her. He says that he is flying first class and demands to go on the flight.

The agent politely explains the situation and asks that people take their place in the line. The man starts screaming at her,

"Do you know who I am?" - at which the agent calmly picks up the microphone for the PA system, and announces to the airport,

"This is (airline name) gate B22 we have a gentleman here who does not know who he is. If anyone can come and identify him please do so."

JUST A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE MILLS HOUSEHOLD

Praises to the Lord for answered prayers. We have been approved for a subsidized apartment at Evergreen Senior’s Apartments in Plano. Our moving day is reserved for July 2nd. We have this month in which to sell our manufactured home, to finish packing, and to notify everyone of our changed address. Please pray with us now for a quick sale of the house and a trouble free move. We celebrated our 59th wedding anniversary this week, so neither of us is really eagerly anticipating moving day, or for that matter the days leading up to it.

Our mailing address will change from the first of July to be, Robert & Phyllis Mills, 600 Independence Parkway, apartment 3205, Plano, TX. 75075. As our phone and our email are a part of a Time Warner package, we do not anticipate any changes in those.
