Correct. Baptized Christians are raised with Christ, are in Christ, and are no longer worldly but focus on the spiritual things that lead to being with Christ.

14-08-E-False

How could love for Jesus be expressed without obeying His commands?

14-08-E-True

Correct. Jesus clearly states love is not just a feeling but is something demonstrated by specific actions.

14-08-D-No

Why wouldn’t love manifest itself daily by what is said and what is done.

14-08-D-Yes

Correct. Love is perpetual; it grows and expresses itself daily in word and deed.

14-08-C-False

Why would love be so weak that it gives up, gives in, loses faith and lets hopelessness prevail?

14-08-C-True

Correct. Love is not naive, but knows the truth and God’s promises so giving up is not an option, burdens are never too heavy, faith cannot weaken, and hope can never be lost.

14-08-B-False

Why would a loving God or one claiming to love like God become easily irritated, enjoy injustice or keep record of all wrongs?

14-08-B-True

Correct. Love seeks peace, forgives and forgets, and rejoices when injustice is corrected, and truth prevails.

14-08-A-True

Correct. The life of Jesus demonstrates perfect love. His patience, kindness, and never jealous, proud, rude, or demanding His way are characteristics we must develop.

14-08-A-False

How would you describe love in reference to being patient, kind, jealous, proud, rude, and demanding your own way?

14-07-D-True

Correct! If we love God, we are commanded to love our brother. If we do not love God, all other actions and attitudes are meaningless.

14-07-B-Yes

How would God’s love remove the fear of judgment if I have never responded to His love in faithful obedience nor loved my brother?

14-07-D-False

Why isn’t ‘loving your brother’ a command from God given the words found in 1 John 4:21?

14-07-C-No

Correct. That is not possible as explained in 1 John 4:20!

14-07-C-Yes

Why wouldn’t that make you a liar as written in 1 John 4:20?

14-07-B-No

Correct. God loves and wants to save everyone. But if our love has not been perfected by the way we live in the world, the Day of Judgement is something we need to fear!

14-07-A-False

What will prepare you for the day of judgement?

14-07-A-True

Correct. Loving God means we listen to His words, obey His commands, strive to be like His Son and faithfully do His will. This prepares us for the day of judgement.

14-06-D-No

Why isn’t it important to love others when you know God really does love you?

14-06-D-Yes

14-06-C-False

Correct. God sent His only Son that we might live through Him. God’s love for created man is demonstrated in so many ways. Sending His Son was an amazing sacrifice; undeserved but absolutely necessary for saving you and me from our sins.

14-06-C-True

Why was it necessary for God to prove His love by sending His only Son.

14-06-A-True

Correct. A saving faith is incomplete when it lacks brotherly kindness and love.

14-05-A-No

14-05-A-Yes

Correct. Once we understand God will judge according to truth and realize what God has done so we can be found righteous, His goodness leads us to repentance.

14-04-C-False

What scriptures suggest God is not kind or does not love us?

14-04-D-No

Why wouldn’t it be natural for a Chistian to be kind?

14-04-D-Yes

Correct. A Christian strives to be more and more like Christ every day. Since Christ shows us God’s kindness, we too must show God’s kindness. Kindness may not be automatic for a new Christain but as they mature, being kind becomes natural.

14-04-C-True

Correct. Kindness is seen in every action taken and command given by God because it benefits every human. Those who prefer disobedience will be blind to His kindness.

14-04-B-No

What impact do you think brotherly kindness would have on the church?

14-04-B-Yes

Correct. Brotherly kindness coming from the heart strengths every relationship, unites the church, and will be something obvious and attractive to people in the world.

14-04-A-True

Correct. Faith is not a feeling; it is a conviction to be like Christ, godly and showing genuine kindness for all Christians.

14-04-A-False

Why wouldn’t a Christian’s faith grow to include godliness and brotherly kindness?

14-03-C-No

What do you believe happens to a person when they are baptized for the forgiveness of their sins and become a Christian?

14-03-A-False

How would our holiness be recognizable if not by our behavior?

14-03-D-False

Why isn’t a Christian a saint and why isn’t it important for them to continue living a life of godliness?

14-03-D-True

Correct. Christ’s blood washed away all sins leaving the Christian sinless, holy, a saint, and with a conviction to remain sinless by living a life of godliness.

14-03-C-Yes

Correct. Paul reminded some of the Corinthians how they used to be, but now after being baptized into Christ, His blood washed away their sins. Because their sins were taken away, they became sanctified (set apart, saints) and they became justified (righteous, holy).

14-03-B-False

Why isn’t it our responsibility to live in a holy and godly manner?

14-03-B-True

Correct. God is holy. He called us. Therefore, we stive to be like Him; perfectly holy in every respect.

14-03-A-True

Correct. Our behavior (words, attitude and actions) will quickly determine if we are striving to be holy. Our reaction when we realize we missed the mark in our effort to be holy will also demonstrate if we are sincerely striving to be holy.

14-02-A-False

How should we conduct ourselves to be prepared when the world is destroyed?

14-01-C-True

Correct. This is what Peter wrote for all to obey.

14-00-D-True

Correct. To please God our faith must grow stronger, and this requires premeditated effort. If we stop growing, we become defenseless to Satan’s lies and stop glorifying God with our words and actions.

14-02-D-Yes

Correct. No human is perfect even though we strive to be sinless, righteous, holy, and pure. The only way God can see us as a holy person is if we have put on Christ so that God sees Christ’s holiness when He sees us. As we strive to be holy, our words and actions will reflect Jesus, and that means we will reflect purity.

14-02-B-True

Correct. Our desire is to live in a peaceful environment where authorities let us honor and glorify God as God’s family, worshiping together and doing His will by proclaiming the truth in love.

14-02-D-No

How could a holy person reflect anything but purity?

14-02-C-No

How could a godly person not take on the attitudes of God?

14-02-C-Yes

Correct. If my attitudes do not reflect God, I’m obviously a hypocrite wearing the wrong nametag!

14-02-B-False

How should a Christian live their life so they please God and also live peacefully with mankind?

14-02-A-True

Correct! Total destruction of the world means the end of a physical world and the start of God’s judgement; and we want to be found faithful.

14-01-D-False

What benefits do you see from godliness?

14-01-D-True

Correct. That is what Paul stated in 1 Timothy 4:8.

14-01-C-False

Why would Peter say it if it isn’t true?

14-01-B-No

Correct. These qualities require time, commitment, and a lot of work to develop. No one can do it for you and no one can force you to do it.

14-01-B-Yes

Who has the power and ability to force a change like that on me?

14-01-A-No

Whose responsibility is it if I don’t have to take responsibility for myself?

14-01-A-Yes

Correct. It is a decision I must make, a commitment I must embrace. Others can encourage me, but no one can do it for me.

14-00-E-False

Why do you say it is not necessary to add these qualities to our faith?

14-00-E-True

Correct. We must be diligent about adding these qualities to our faith.

14-00-D-False

Why do you believe a person’s faith does not have to grow over time when Peter says we must be diligent to add to our faith?

14-00-B-False

Correct. Real faith only comes from hearing God’s word, not manmade interpretations of God’s word.

14-00-B-True

What kind of faith would come from hearing the forever changing words of men?

14-00-C-No

Why would it be impossible for a saved Christian to become lost?

14-00-C-Yes

Correct. Christians are saved by their faithful obedience to God’s plan of salvation, but they could end up lost if at any time they decide to not be faithful.

14-00-A-No

Why can’t we have the same faith as the apostles had?

14-00-A-Yes

Correct. We can and we must.

13-16-B-True

Correct. And that is the only way. Miraculous injections don’t exist!

13-15-A-Yes

Correct. Perseverance in doing good leads a Christian to eternal life.

13-14-C-Yes

Correct. Paul holds up the church in Thessalonica as a good role model for other churches facing persecution and affliction.

13-14-A-True

Correct. Satan wants us to give up and will entice us with worldly benefits, but we must persevere because the reward we desire is not on this earth.

13-13-C-No

Why do you believe righteousness, self-control, and judgment are of no concern to us?

13-12-B-Yes

Correct. Jesus showed us the ultimate self-control when He allowed Himself to be tortured and to die on the cross. He had the power to stop it at any point along the way, but He used self-control because that was God’s will and to demonstrate God’s love for mankind.

13-16-D-No

Why are Peter’s words in 2 Peter 1:5-7 not a command?

13-16-D-Yes

Correct. “Little faith” only becomes “great faith” by moving from milk to solid food. (Hebrews 5:13; 1 Corinthians 3:1-2; 1 Peter 2:1-2)

13-16-C-No

What makes it impossible for a saved person to become lost?

13-16-C-Yes

Correct. Becoming a Christian was a choice and staying faithful is also a choice.

13-16-B-False

What other avenues are available for producing faith?

13-16-A-No

What makes it impossible for us to have the same faith today?

13-16-A-Yes

Correct. We can and we must.

13-15-D-False

Why wouldn’t it be important for Christians to be steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord?

13-15-D-True

Correct. These are the exact words of Paul to the Corinthians that apply to us also. This effort will not go unnoticed by the Lord!

13-15-C-No

Correct. Perseverance, like physical strength, requires work and dedication, doesn’t happen overnight, and could weaken without regular exercise.

13-15-C-Yes

If perseverance were easy, why wouldn’t everyone with faith persevere in almost every situation?

13-15-B-False

What is needed to increase our ability to persevere?

13-15-B-True

13-13-B-True

Correct. Felix became so frightened he sent Paul away.

13-12-D-Learned

Correct. Self-control is not something we automatically do, and it isn’t always easy.

13-12-D-Natural

13-11-A-No

How could a person avoid perishing in hell without loving the truth as stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10?

13-11-A-Yes

Correct! All have sinned and need a Savior! A sinner who does not love the truth, that is, believe it and obey it, will not receive eternal life.

13-08-D-No

Correct. The word of God is comprehensive and without contradictions. My understanding based on a study in one section might be incomplete or inaccurate if I don’t also consider a related concept in another section. This requires deliberate, dedicated thoughtful study on a regular basis.

13-10-C-No

Why are you not grateful for the Holy Spirit guiding the apostles, including Peter?

13-10-C-Yes

13-10-B-False

Why do you think Peter wrote letters for us to study?

13-09-A-No

Why isn’t it possible for false teachers to persuade you to accept something that is not true?

13-09-A-Yes

13-08-D-Yes

How does a couple of casual readings of the Bible ensure you are fully equipped to handle the truth it contains?

13-08-C-False

Why do you believe handling the word of God accurately is not important? Maybe that is one reason the religious world is not united today!

13-08-C-True

Correct. The Word of God is all truth, but if we use it incorrectly, that is, we don’t ‘rightly divide it’, we could make it into a lie, half-truth or a misapplication just as Satan did when tempting Jesus in the wilderness.

13-08-B-No

13-07-D-Yes

Correct. God wants me to respect government and abide by all laws not in conflict with His law. Paying taxes isn’t fun, but that doesn’t justify breaking the law by cheating!

13-07-C-No

Correct. The honest thing to do is return it to the rightful owner; you only possess it because of an error.

13-07-C-Yes

What would justify keeping something given to you by mistake?

13-07-B-No

Why is it not necessary to add virtue to your faith?

13-06-A-True

Correct! Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth!

13-05-B-True

13-03-D-True

Correct. If Jesus says it, we believe it. If Jesus commands it, by word or example, we faithfully do it. Religious matters are not up for debate and man can never improve something Jesus has already prescribed.

Why wouldn’t a greater knowledge of God and Jesus cause the grace and peace we enjoy to also grow?

13-05-A-No

Why isn’t it possible for us today to have the same faith as the apostles 2000 years ago?

13-05-A-Yes

Correct. Since there is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord and one faith, we can, and we must have the same faith as the Lord’s apostles.

13-04-B-False

Correct! That is not walking by faith; it is walking by self and being hypocritical as a Christian.

13-04-B-True

Why could a Christain claiming to walk by faith go out and do whatever they want to do while ignoring what Jesus really wants them to do?

13-04-A-No

Correct! God defines what pleases Him and He says faith is essential! Simply being a ‘good person’ from a human perspective is not pleasing to God.

How is it possible for someone to please God without having faith in God?

13-03-C-Yes

How can someone have faith to believe something they’ve never heard or how could they obediently do something they didn’t know Jesus asked them to do in the New Testament?

13-03-D-False

Who has authority today concerning religious matters if Jesus does not have all the authority?

13-03-C-No

Correct. It is impossible to believe and obey something you’ve never heard. It is possible to do something Jesus wants you to do before you realize He wanted you to do it, but that would not be obedience from faith, that would be luck or doing the right thing for the wrong reason.

13-03-A-True

Correct. Faith isn’t blind or a ‘gut feeling’. Noah’s faith was a chosen response to believe, trust, and obey what God told him.

13-03-B-No

How can people act by faith today if it isn’t based on the words of Jesus?

13-03-B-Yes

13-03-A-False

How could Noah act by faith if God had not talked to him?

13-02-E-True

13-02-A-False

01-01-H-No

Why will you not consider compelling evidence?

01-01-G-Yes

That is great to hear!

01-01-F-No

12-13-E-No

Who then is responsible for a Chistian to grow and mature?

12-13-D-True

12-13-B-False

12-13-A-Yes

12-10-A-True

Correct! Jesus desires His disciples to be with Him in heaven. He is praying here in John as if already in heaven with the Father.

12-12-C-True

Correct! Paul says they are acting carnal when they claim to follow some man rather than just Jesus.

12-12-D-False

How does strife and jealousy among Christians indicate strength and maturity?

12-12-A-No

What does religious division indicate?

12-12-A-Yes

Correct! This demonstrates Christlike hasn’t yet been achieved. Much growth is still needed.

12-11-F-No

Correct! There is no such command. Peter did say, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remissions of sins”, Acts 2:38.

12-11-F-Yes

Where do you find this command?

12-11-E-No

Correct. The sinless Jesus was crucified for you, not Paul who claimed to be the chief among sinners.

12-11-E-Yes

What indicates Paul was crucified for you?

12-11-D-No

Correct! Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light, John 14:6. The way never changes, truth has only one story and light contains no darkness.

What proves Jesus was not with the Father before everything was created?

12-10-A-False

Why would Jesus not want His disciples to be with Him?

12-9-C-No

What then do the words of Jesus in John 17:23 actually mean today?

12-9-C-Yes

Correct! That is what Jesus said, John 17:23, so it is true, even though hard to imagine from a human perspective.

12-9-B-True

Correct! When Christ’s followers actually talk, walk, and love like Christ, the world will notice and realize this is only possible because of Jesus, proving Jesus is who He claimed to be, the Son of God sent by God the Father.

12-9-A-False

Why wouldn’t religious unity be perfected if followers of Jesus were actually in Jesus?

12-9-B-False

What would religious unity be telling the world about Jesus?

12-9-A-True

12-8-C-No

Correct! Religious division creates confusion and, to the non-believer, proves faith isn’t important.

12-8-C-Yes

How would religious division cause people to believe in Jesus?

12-8-B-True

Why would Jesus pray for His followers to be divided into different denominations with different names and different core beliefs?

12-8-A-No

Why do you think unity by His followers was not something Jesus prayed about.

12-8-A-Yes

Correct! Followers of Jesus are made perfect by their unity. This unity, and their common message, will cause the world to believe in Jesus.

12-7-C-No

Why do you believe the prayer of Jesus that He made 2000 years ago did not include you?

12-7-C-Yes

Correct! The words of Jesus’ disciples are still taught today through the New Testament. Jesus was praying for all who would believe in Him through their words, directly in the first century church or the centuries to follow via the Bible.

12-7-B-No

What suggests Jesus did not pray for those who heard and believed the truth taught by the disciples?

12-7-B-Yes

12-6-B-No

12-5-C-Yes

Correct. God’s word is truth, has always been true and will always be true. It never changes.

12-5-B-False

Why do you believe disciples are of the world?

12-5-B-True

Correct! Disciples are foreigners temporarily living in a different country. Their citizenship and allegiance is to their home country, not their current country of residence.

12-5-A-No

Where then should the disciples live?

12-4-C-Yes

Correct. Jesus taught the disciples God’s word, God’s will.

12-4-B-False

Why don’t you think one of the disciples perished and that this also fulfilled prophecy?

12-4-A-Yes

Correct! Jesus tells God He kept them in His Name. Guarded them, none perished, except Judas, which fulfilled scriptures.

12-4-C-No

Why do you say Jesus did not teach the disciples the word of God?

12-3-B-No

Why wasn’t Jesus glorified by the unity of His faithful followers?

12-3-A-False

Why don’t you believe it was the normal routine of Jesus to pray, especially for His followers?

12-2-A-Yes

Correct! God gave men (disciples) to Jesus who came out of the world.

12-2-C-False

Why don’t you believe the disciples of Jesus kept God’s word?

12-2-C-True

Correct! That is the statement of Jesus in John 17:6. They believed the word of God and they were obeying that word.

12-2-B-No

Where did the disciples of Jesus come from if not out of the world?

12-1-D-Yes

Why was Jesus supposed to glorify Himself?

Correct! Everything Jesus did on earth was for glorifying God. If Jesus was to be glorified, it would be God doing it.

12-1-C-False

12-1-B-False

Correct! Plus, Jesus was given all authority in heaven and on earth, Matthew 28:18.

11-16-F-False

What commands do you see from Jesus concerning acceptable places for praying.

11-16-E-No

Correct! As we have studied in the Bible, some things hinder prayers, some things are asked inappropriately. When the Bible says, “a prayer of a righteous man avails much”, (James 5:16), what does that mean for the prayer of an unrighteous man?

11-16-E-Yes

11-15-C-False

11-14-C-No

Why then is such a claim made by Paul in the beginning of his letter to the Thessalonians?

11-14-C-Yes

11-14-B-No

Correct! Contrary to many in the world, church is people, not a specific place, not a physical structure you walk into. Christ is the head of the church, His body, the body He will save–people, not bricks and wood beams!

11-14-B-Yes

If a ‘church’ is a building, how does a building express words for a prayer to God through (in the name of) Jesus?

11-14-A-No

What makes you sure God did not answer the prayers of the church for Peter?

11-14-A-Yes

Correct! God answers the prayers of faithful followers. It was God’s will for Peter to be freed from prison, and God made it miraculously happen!

What then is meant by 1 Timothy 2:12-14?

11-13-C-True

11-13-E-No

Correct! That would not be pleasing to God because it goes against His command/revealed will recorded in I Corinthians 14:34.

11-13-D-Yes

How do you know it is pleasing to God for a man to pray with his head covered?

Correct! That is the wording of 1 Corinthians 11:4! However, the original language suggests this is a reference to long hair, something “hanging down from his head”

11-13-B-No

Correct! God expects men to lead in the church as He expects them to lead and take responsibility in the home/family.

11-13-B-Yes

11-13-A-False

11-12-B-False

Why wouldn’t a Christian need to pray for forgiveness?

11-12-B-True

11-10-A-False

Why shouldn’t Christians pray for more workers?

11-10-A-True

11-9-D-True

11-7-B-No

Why do you say God will not help Christians overcome temptations?

11-7-B-Yes

Correct! We may prefer immediate divine intervention, but as Jesus demonstrated in the wilderness, God prepares and equips us to handle temptations with His word. He helps us when we help ourselves by feeding on His word.

Why shouldn’t Christians pray for these things daily?

11-7-A-Yes

Correct! That is what Jesus taught and that is what we must do!

11-6-C-No

What do you think are significant characteristics of a Christian’s prayer life?

11-6-A-Yes

11-6-B-False

When or how often would you say a Christian should express thankfulness to God?

Why not, given the words of Matthew and James in the two referenced scriptures?

11-2-A-Yes

11-1-D-No

Why shouldn’t a prayer include a request for food needed that day?

11-1-C-No

What makes you believe God doesn’t know what we need?

11-1-C-Yes

Correct! He knows exactly what we NEED. We, on the other hand, think we know what we WANT.

11-1-B-True

What makes you think prayer is that easy/automatic?

11-1-A-No

What makes you think teachings on prayer and praying are not necessary?

11-1-A-Yes

Correct! After being with Jesus, the disciples recognized they didn’t know how to pray so Jesus taught them. By teaching them, He taught us.

10-16-f-False

Correct! It contains everything we need to know for salvation and God gave it to us through inspired writers.

What do you believe is necessary for a church to be strong and mature?

10-15-D-True

10-15-C-False

How could miraculous gifts continue after the apostles and those given spiritual gifts through them died?

10-15-C-True

Correct! Since only the apostles had the power to lay their hands on someone and given them spiritual gifts, that ability ended with their death. All miraculous powers ended when those given this power through an apostle also died.

10-15-B-True

Correct! For the early church to grow, accurate knowledge of God’s will was needed in each new church in every city. God chose to use spiritual gifts as a temporary solution until His complete will was revealed and documented as we have it today in the Bible.

10-15-A-Yes

Correct! The need for miraculous gifts was passing away because the revealed/documented will of God was almost complete, that is, almost perfect.

10-15-B-False

Why do you think spiritual gifts were necessary in the early church?

10-15-A-No

What do you think Paul meant when he said these miraculous gifts would vanish away!

10-14-B-Yes

What evidence suggests women were allowed to prophesy or speak in tongues during assemblies of the early church.

10-14-B-No

Correct! The inspired writings of Paul to the Corinthians and to Timothy make it clear women did not prophesy or speak in tongues when the church assembled.

10-14-A-False

Correct! God is merciful and righteous and does not create confusion. When man’s will opposes God’s will, man becomes the creator of confusion!

10-14-A-True

Why would God want people to be confused?

10-12-C-False

What do you see as the normal practice concerning tongue speaking in the church assembly?

10-13-B-False

What then was Isaiah talking about in Isaiah 28:11?

10-13-C-True

Correct! First of all, they would be shocked hearing someone untrained speak their language, plus the gospel message would be easy to understand.

10-13-C-False

Why wouldn’t an unbeliever be immediately impressed hearing the gospel message in their own language from a speaker who doesn’t know their language?

10-13-B-True

Correct! That is what Isaiah prophesied.

10-13-A-Unbelievers

10-12-D-Yes

10-11-C-True

Correct! It has no communication value.

10-11-B-True

10-11-A-True

Why do you believe speaking in tongues is more important than loving one another?

10-10-E-No

Correct! Every member is important in the church and equally needed for the body to function the way God designed.

10-10-E-Yes

Why would not having the ability to speak in tongues make a Christian inferior to someone who could?

10-10-D-Yes

10-10-C-No

Correct! Only those the apostles laid their hands on received the Holy Spirit with power; and of those God/Holy Spirit determined which spiritual gift was given.

10-6-E-Yes

What would be the purpose of apostles speaking languages nobody understood?

10-9-C-No

Correct! Not every Christian with a spiritual gift spoke in a tongue, but it appears those that did spoke a different language.

10-9-C-Yes

Where do you read every Christian in the church at Corinth spoke a different language?

10-9-B-No

Correct! Each Christian that received spiritual powers/gifts was given a specific power based on need as seen by the will of God/Holy Spirit.

10-9-B-Yes

What evidence shows you the same spiritual gifts were given to every Christian?

10-9-A-False

What was the preaching by Paul able to accomplish in Corinth?

10-9-A-True

Correct! And Paul was able to teach there a whole year and six months. Many believed and were baptized.

What do you believe made it possible for the Ephesian Christians to speak languages they had never studied?

Correct! The Ephesian Christians received the gift of the Holy Spirit when they were baptized the right way (not John’s baptism) AND they received the Holy Spirit with power to do miracles after Paul laid his hands on them.

10-8-A-False

What do you see false in this statement?

10-8-A-True

Correct! Directly from heaven where God sits on His throne!

10-7-B-True

Correct! God used the miraculous speaking of a language never studied by Cornelius and his family to convince the Jews that God accepts Gentiles and Jews, not just Jews!

10-7-C-False

What is different about the Holy Spirit coming on Cornelius and his household versus the apostles on Pentecost?

Correct! Cornelius and his family received the Holy Spirit with power to speak in tongues as did the apostles on Pentecost.

10-7-B-False

What was the purpose of speaking in tongues by Cornelius and his family?

10-7-A-False

What do you believe was the purpose for apostles to speak in many languages?

10-6-B-Yes

Correct! On that first Day of Pentecost after Jesus’ ascension there were Jews from many different nations in Jerusalem and they spoke the language of their respective nations.

10-6-D-Yes

Correct! As used here in scripture, tongues and languages are equal, verbal communication.

10-6-E-No

Correct! They all spoke languages someone in the audience understood.

10-6-D-No

What are tongues if not languages?

10-6-C-False

Why don’t you believe the apostles could speak in other languages?

10-6-C-True

Correct! The Holy Spirit enabled the apostles to speak languages they had never studied so the Gospel Message could be heard and understood in other languages.

10-6-A-True

Correct! That is what Jesus said and that is the most important work of the apostles and all faithful followers of Jesus.

10-6-B-No

Why do you believe Jews from other nations would all speak the same language?

10-6-A-False

How can this be false given the words found in Matthew 28:19?

10-5-D-No

Correct. There is no mention of Simon offering Philip money for power. Simon must have observed Philip’s ability to do miracles was not something he could pass on to others.

10-5-D-Yes

What do you read that suggest Simon offered Philip money for this power?

10-5-C-No

Why did Simon offer Peter and John money?

10-5-C-Yes

Correct! Apparently, he thought he could make money if he had this power.

10-5-B-No

What was Simon’s conclusion concerning the Samaritan Christians and how they were able to perform miracles?

10-5-B-Yes

10-5-A-No

Why did the apostles travel from Jerusalem to be with the Samaritan Christians?

10-5-A-Yes

Correct! The Samaritan Christians had been baptized into Christ and had received the gift of the Holy Spirit, but not the Holy Spirit with power to do miracles. Peter and John came to lay their hands on them so they could also perform miracles.

10-0-G-False

Correct! No one ‘joins’ the Lord’s church. He adds you to His church after you are saved by obeying the Gospel.

10-0-G-True

How is it possible to join the Lord’s church if the church belongs to Him and He establishes entry requirements?

10-4-C-Yes

Correct! Simon had astonished people in Samaria with his sorcery, a special talent of deception/tricks to make something appear different from reality.

10-4-C-No

Why do you believe Philip was not preaching in Samaria or that there wasn’t a magician named Simon in Samaria?

10-4-B-False

How did Philip receive the ability to work miracles?

10-4-B-True

Correct! Acts 8:18 confirms the power of the Holy Spirit is received when an apostle lays their hand on someone.

10-4-A-No

Why don’t you believe the words written in Acts 6:5-6?

10-4-A-Yes

Correct! That is what Acts 6:5-6 says.

10-3-C-False

What makes this a false statement?

Correct! Jesus said the Holy Spirit would guide them and that they would receive ‘power’ in Jerusalem. This ‘power’ confirms them and their message.

10-3-B-No

Why do you believe the apostles did not perform miracles?

10-3-B-Yes

Correct! And because of their miracles fear came upon the people who heard their message.

10-3-A-False

Why don’t you believe miracles served as a witness of an apostle’s teachings.

10-3-A-True

Correct! God used the power of miracles to confirm the message of the apostles.

10-2-C-False

What is false concerning the recorded miracles of Jesus that prove Jesus is God?

10-2-C-True

Correct! The written testimony of eyewitnesses who saw the miracles of Jesus are today’s proof that Jesus is the Christ and Son of God!

10-2-B-No

What makes you think the words written in John 16:13 are not right?

10-2-B-Yes

Correct! That is one way the Holy Spirit helped them according to John 16:13.

10-2-A-False

What is false, the apostles remembering all that Jesus said or the Holy Spirt made this possible!

10-2-A-True

Correct! No man has perfect recall! The message of Jesus was so important God sent the Holy Spirit to help them get it right word for word.

10-1-C-Yes

What scriptures tell us John the Baptizer performed miracles?

10-1-B-True

Correct! Miracles proved Jesus was sent by God and the words of Jesus proved He was the Christ; this was the message God sent through Him.

10-1-A-True

Correct! The miracles of Jesus proved He was sent by God for those things would be impossible for anyone not sent by God.

10-1-C-No

Correct! Scripture does not record miracles being performed by John the Baptizer.

10-1-B-False

Why wouldn’t the miracles of Jesus prove that He is the Christ?

10-1-A-False

Why wouldn’t the miracles performed by Jesus prove He had been sent by God?

10-0-I-False

What would a true disciple be committed to if not Jesus and His teachings?

10-0-I-True

Correct! His primary focus is getting to know the will and ways of Jesus better so he can be more faithful and obedient in the way he lives.

10-0-H-False

Correct! He established one church and all who are saved are in that one church because He adds you after obeying the Gospel. All other groups claiming to be His church will be very disappointed when He returns and does not know them!

10-0-H-True

What makes you believe Christ established many churches?

10-0-E-True

Correct! Jesus died on the cross and became the perfect unblemished sacrifice for our sins and when we obey His Gospel our sins are forgiven.

10-0-F-False

What do you think is essential for obeying the Gospel?

10-0-F-True

Correct! Faith is the beginning of obedience. But then one must recognize and repent of their sins and confess Jesus as God’s Son, the Savior, and put Him on in baptism by being immersed into His death.

10-0-E-False

Why did Jesu die on a cross if it wasn’t so your sins could be forgiven?

10-0-D-False

What is man’s greatest problem if it isn’t sin?

10-0-D-True

Correct! Sin causes spiritual death, separation from God, and is therefore man’s greatest problem even though it is not yet recognized by all men.

10-0-C-False

Correct! The Ten Commandments were given to the Children of Israel (the Jewish nation) for them to obey, not to Gentiles.

10-0-C-True

Since the Law given through Moses, which included the Ten Commandments, was given to the children of Israel (Jews), why would Gentiles (non-Jews) also need to obey them?

10-0-B-True

Correct! God provided His truth through various writers. Their written words were exactly what God wanted us to read and understand.

10-0-B-False

Why do you believe God’s hand was not involved in the Bible’s development?

10-0-A-False

What makes this statement about God false?

10-0-A-True

Correct! One God in three persons.

9-16-j-False

How would a true disciple have their sins forgiven if they were not baptized?

9-16-j-True

Correct! A true disciple is not only a believer but is also a baptized believer because that is the only way sins can be forgiven and for the Lord to add the disciple to His church.

9-16-i-false

Why would God be pleased if true disciples were not actively taking the gospel message to the whole world.

9-16-i-True

Correct! A true disciple of Jesus is an active worker striving to glorify God by living the gospel and taking the gospel to the lost.

9-16-h-False

Why wouldn’t a follower of Jesus love others the same way Jesus loved mankind and died to save them.

9-16-h-True

Correct! Love for the lost and a special love for the saved!

9-16-g-False

Why wouldn’t a true disciple be a faithful Christian?

9-16-g-True

Correct! True disciples not only study the Bible, but they consistently live it every day.

9-16-f-False

Why wouldn’t a follower of Jesus spend a lot of time studying the Bible?

9-16-f-True

Correct! Scripture can make a disciple fully prepared for every good work.

9-16-e-False

9-15-A-False

9-12-E-No

9-16-d-False

Why wouldn’t true disciples willingly be a slave to Jesus?

9-16-d-True

Correct! True disciples are slaves to righteousness and Jesus is righteousness!

9-16-c-False

Why wouldn’t a true disciple be willing to change, if necessary, to conform with God’s will?

9-16-c-True

Correct. When a disciple realizes he is not living the way God desires, he is willing to quickly change.

9-16-b-False

Why wouldn’t a true disciple follow Jesus?

9-16-b-True

Correct! Believing would have little value if it didn’t result in following.

9-16-a-False

Why wouldn’t a true disciple be a believer?

9-16-a-True

Correct! The word has been studied and is believed.

9-15-A-True

Correct! Believing is necessary, but by itself does not remove sin. Saying a special prayer sounds attractive but that isn’t what God commands. Baptism is a burial/immersion where sins are washed away (forgiven). Baptism is not a special work; it earns nothing; it’s simply a demonstration of obedience and the point where God’s grace forgives sin!

9-15-B-False

Why don’t you believe some disciples were immersed twice?

9-15-B-True

Correct! Being baptized for the wrong reason or not even knowing why makes it a bath, not a baptism. A proper baptism would still be necessary.

9-14-B-False

What do you think is necessary to make disciples in all nations?

9-14-B-True

Correct! Disciples are able to make more disciples by going into the world and teaching the gospel. Those who hear and believe will want to be baptized and become a disciple also.

9-14-A-True

Correct! And this is how God is glorified!

9-13-B-False

Why doesn’t the love disciples have for one another show their love for God?

9-13-B-True

9-13-A-False

Why don’t you believe these words of Jesus? (John 13:35)

9-13-A-True

Correct! Jesus says His followers will be recognized by the world because of their unique love for one another.

9-12-G-False

Since Christians are still human, why would ‘walking in the light’ mean they no longer sin?

9-12-G-True

Correct! They are trying to avoid all sin, but unfortunately sin occasionally. This is much different than living in a compromising manner and routinely choosing to sin.

9-12-F-Know

Correct! Anyone walking according to the will of God know they have eternal life because that is a promise from God.

9-12-E-Yes

What value are opinions and feelings concerning eternal life when everything we need to know about it is revealed in God’s truth?

9-12-D-False

How is it possible to continue living in sin and still be acceptable to God and be saved?

9-12-D-True

Correct! We can say we are a Christian, but if we continue to live a sinful life we are lying and not in fellowship with other believers and God.

9-12-C-False

9-12-C-True

Correct! Walking in the light is equal to practicing the truth as revealed in God’s word.

9-12-B-True

Correct! With confidence faithful followers of Jesus can know without doubting that they have eternal life. It is not a matter of “maybe”, “I hope”, nor “I think”!

9-12-B-False

Why is it impossible for a faithful follower of Jesus to ‘know without a doubt’ that they have eternal life?

9-12-A-False

Why do you say God is not light and sin is not darkness?

9-12-A-True

Correct! God is light, everything is true and revealed. Sin is darkness, a complete absence of light, where all forms of evil can be done in secret.

9-11-C-No

Why would the power of Scripture be different for us today?

9-11-C-Yes

Correct! Scripture has the same power today. We just need to know it and properly use it!

9-11-B-False

Why would misuse, abuse or distortion of Scripture not result in eternal damnation?

9-11-B-True

Correct! Jesus tempted by Satan in the wilderness shows how Scriptures can be misused, abused and distorted. Using Scripture that way leads to the destruction intended for Satan and his angels!

9-9-A-No

Why don’t you believe the devil is alive/real?

9-11-A-True

Correct! Paul’s inspired words to Timothy confirm “ALL SCRIPTURE” give Christians exactly what is needed to do
“ALL GOOD WORK”!

9-11-A-False

If Scriptures do not equip a Chirstian for every good work, what will?

9-10-A-Yes

Correct! Satan used logic, even scripture to tempt Jesus and Jesus responded to Satan with scripture. These recoded events confirm Satan is alive, is real and very active!

9-10-D-True

Correct! Christians stay faithful because they love truth, respect Jesus, and appreciate all He did to make them holy and salvation possible. Christians who become unfaithful no longer love truth or Jesus.

9-10-D-False

Why are unfaithful Christians not like dogs and pigs that return to their vomit or mud?

9-10-C-False

Why isn’t a Christian returning to a worldly state not similar to a clean pig going back into the mud?

9-10-C-True

Correct! A ‘washed in the blood of Jesus’ Christian going back into the world causes them to again be lost in sin. This is like a clean pig going back into a mud puddle.

9-10-B-No

Why do you believe a disciple cannot become unfaithful?

9-10-B-Yes

Correct! A faithful disciple must continue to be faithful. Going back into the world means no longer trying to follow Jesus. If they are no longer trying to follow Jesus, they are again lost in their sins!

9-10-A-No

What scripture or evidence do you have showing Satan was not alive and real to Jesus?

9-8-A-True

Correct! The way we demonstrate our love and appreciation to Jesus is by faithfully doing everything He wants us to do.

9-9-A-Yes

Great! Scripture clearly states that the devil is real, that he has angels (Matthew 25:41, Revelation 12:9), and that he is on a mission to deceive and frustrate faithfulness to God.

9-9-B-No

Why don’t you believe the devil is actively trying to keep us from following Jesus?

9-9-B-Yes

Correct! Scripture says he is active and has shown how he lies (that is how he dealt with Eve) and tempts people (Jesus in the wilderness} with things that look/sound appealing but, in the end, is against God and will bring destruction.

9-8-B-Yes

Why do you feel people are forced to love God rather than love being a choice?

9-8-C-No

What does God want from us if not our faithfulness to Him?

9-8-C-Yes

Correct! God desires faithfulness and He has done much to encourage our faithfulness.

9-8-B-No

Correct! We are not robots; everyone has a choice to love or not love God. Of course, our choice comes with consequences!

9-8-A-False

How should we express our love for Jesus?

9-7-D-True

Correct! If we are not in subjection to righteousness, we are automatically in subjection to sin! There is no neutral position.

9-7-D-False

How would you describe man’s position relative to Jesus or Satan?

9-7-C-No

Why do you think a true disciple of Jesus would not become a slave to Jesus who is the Lord and the Christ?

9-7-C-Yes

Correct! He will fully submit himself to the Lordship of Jesus.

9-7-B-False

How can you be a friend of the world without becoming an enemy of God?

9-7-B-True

Correct! Friendship with the world requires you to become like the world and that is the exact opposite of what you must be to please God.

9-7-A-No

Correct! Whatever I choose to obey, that is what I am a slave to. It owns me and controls me.

9-7-A-Yes

How can you avoid being a slave to sin if you are not a slave to righteousness?

9-6-D-False

What do you believe is the center of life for a true disciple?

9-6-F-Jesus

Correct! Jesus, not the world and all it’s things, guide, motivate and control His true disciples.

9-6-F-Things

Why would true disciples be controlled by things?

9-6-E-False

Why do you think Christians are to be like salt?

9-6-E-True

Correct! At least they are supposed to be like salt; faithfully handling the truth and influencing others.

9-6-D-True

Correct! The teachings of Jesus and his living example become the one guide for pleasing God each and every day.

9-6-C-True

Why would God be pleased if people put serving self, family and job above serving Him?

9-6-C-False

Correct! Our greatest responsibility is serving God.

9-6-A-True

Correct! Physical security is very important to most people and they do whatever it takes to achieve that security. Eternal life and doing God’s will is more important to followers of Jesus. Possessions can easily become a burden and a distraction.

9-6-B-No

Correct! That is impossible, not just because Jesus said it, but because we see supporting evidence all around us.

9-6-B-Yes

Why do you say this is possible even though Jesus says it is impossible in Matthew 6:24?

9-6-A-False

Why do you feel most people in the world already view possessions as less important than focusing on God’s truth and obeying His truth?

9-5-C-True

Correct! Faithfully following Jesus is well defined based on the things Jesus taught. When someone professes to be a follower of Jesus and is walking a much different walk than desired by Christ, their following appears to be self-designed.

9-5-B-True

Correct! If something is really important, we somehow find a way to do it without excuse. Things of less importance or lower priority may or may not get done later.

9-5-A-No

Correct! Excuses mean personal preferences are more important than doing what pleases Jesus.

9-5-A-Yes

Why do you believe Jesus will accept excuses instead of faithful obedience?

9-5-C-False

Correct! True followers of Jesus always let him lead. Anything less simply means you are not a follower of Jesus.

9-5-B-False

What examples can you give where preference is given to things with a lower priority?

9-4-E-No

Correct! Our commitment to Jesus is more important than any other commitment. If we are right with Jesus, all other wholesome relationships should automatically be enhanced.

9-4-E-Yes

Why would placing family relationships ahead of the commitment to Jesus be acceptable for a true disciple?

4-D-False

Why do you believe it is not necessary for a true disciple to take up the cross daily and die to self?

9-4-D-True

Correct. A true disciple makes Jesus their Lord every day, all day! Jesus said this is the way we must follow Him.

9-4-C-False

What then was the purpose/intent of the New Testament cross?

9-4-C-True

Correct. The cross was designed for maximum suffering and considered a cruel and barbarous form of death.

9-4-B-False

What other options are available for a disciple who wants to spend eternity in Jesus?

9-4-B-True

Correct! Following Jesus is a personal choice which could bring pain, suffering, and physical death. No one else can do it for you. A disciple prefers not to suffer but realizes such suffering may be necessary for eternal life.

9-4-A-False

How would you describe ‘disciple’ as generally used in the New Testament?

9-4-A-True

Correct. Disciple means student of a teacher and in the New Testament is generally a reference to followers of Jesus. The term ‘disciples of John’ is found in Matthew 9:14; Mark 2:18, Luke 5:33 and Luke 7:18.

9-2-C-False

What would properly train followers of Jesus if not the teachings of Jesus?

9-3-A-No

Correct! The disciples of Jesus will never be greater (above) Jesus.

9-3-A-Yes

How could a disciple of Jesus become greater (above) Jesus?

9-2-A-No

Why wouldn’t a fully trained follower of Jesus become like Jesus in speech and action?

9-3-E-False

How can division in a family be avoided if some members choose to follow Jesus and others choose not to follow Him?

9-3-E-True

Correct! Each family member makes their own decisions based on personal preference, desires, and experience. Division and conflict are unavoidable when some choose to follow Jesus and others choose to ignore Him and His teachings.

9-3-D-No

Correct! It may not always be easy, as Peter learned the hard way! Jesus said He was persecuted, and we too can expect persecution as we follow Him. See John 15:20.

9-3-D-Yes

How makes it easy to confess Jesus even when strangers or friends might find Jesus and His teachings offensive?

9-3-C-No

If a person decides to ignore traffic laws, are they not saying they are more important and are above the law? Wouldn’t the same be true for someone who refuses to do what Jesus taught?

9-3-C-Yes

Correct! When someone ignores the teaching of Jesus and choose to follow their own desires, they make themselves lord of their life, not Jesus.

9-3-B-No

Correct! If all men followed Jesus earthly peace would naturally follow, but not everyone is willing to accept His teaching and follow Him. This brings great conflict, even within a family.

9-3-B-Yes

Why do you believe Jesus came to bring peace?

9-2-C-True

Correct! The teachings of Jesus would guide His followers concerning what they should and should not say or do.

9-2-B-No

Why don’t you believe what is written in Acts 11:26?

9-1-C-Yes

How can a person claim to be a true disciple/follower of Jesus while ignoring the very things Jesus taught?

9-2-B-Yes

Correct! They were given a name that reflected their teacher.

9-2-A-Yes

Correct! It doesn’t happen overnight, but a diligent follower of Jesus keeps learning and practicing what Jesus taught.

9-1-D-False

If a true disciple is not a believer in Jesus Christ, what then would they believe?

9-1-D-True

Correct! Why would anyone choose to follow someone they don’t believe or trust?

9-1-C-No

Correct! Ignoring the teaching of Christ is equal to not following Christ. If you are not following Christ, you are not His true disciple.

9-1-B-No

Who do you believe Jesus is if not the Lord and God?

Correct! Those were the words of Thomas. Jesus is Lord (Acts 2:36) and is God (John 1:1)!

9-1-A-True

Correct! Believing is not a one-time event, it is a continuous walk in His truth while growing in commitment to His teaching and way of living.

9-1-A-False

How do you think believers in Jesus will live their life if not by following His word?

9-0-G-No

Correct! Everyone entering the kingdom of heaven will call Jesus ‘Lord’ and demonstrate He is ‘Lord” by the way they live. Saying Jesus is ‘Lord’ is meaningless if there is no evidence to support this ‘Lordship’.

9-0-G-Yes

What scriptures suggest calling Jesus your Lord will automatically bring you salvation/eternal life?

9-0-F-False

How can churches have different heads/leaders and/or follow different doctrines and still be united religiously?

9-0-F-True

Correct! Christ is the head of His church and there is only one faith that unites us and saves us.

9-0-E-No

What do you believe the prophecies in Isaiah 2:2-3 and Joel 2:28-32 are talking about if not about the Lord’s church?

9-0-E-Yes

Correct! Isaiah says the Lord’s word/church will come from Jerusalem and Joel says the Holy Spirit would be poured out in those days and the Lord’s church is established for deliverance and salvation.

9-0-D-False

Why would Jesus pray for His followers to be unified if it was not important?

9-0-D-True

Correct! The world will believe God sent Jesus if His followers are united in His one body, one church, one faith, one baptism and one hope.

9-0-C-False

Since Jesus provided specific details concerning church organization, what authorizes a church to ignore or alter those details.

9-0-C-True

Correct! Jesus provided organizational details for His church. Any church not following those details could not be His church.

9-0-B-No

Correct! It is important for us to worship and work with a church that faithfully follows the teachings of Jesus.

9-0-B-Yes

There are many different ‘kinds’ of churches holding different religious views and priorities. Why would Jesus consider each of these churches faithfully following His will and instructions?

9-0-A-Yes

Wonderful! Jesus says this is how true worshippers will/must worship God.

9-0-A-No

How do you believe God should be worshipped and what scriptures suggest this would please God?

5-1-A-True

Correct! Believing in Jesus, knowing and obeying His truth, and being in Him is the only way to be free from sin and have salvation.

3-0-D-No

Who does have authority over religious matters today?

01-16-C-False

What then does the amazing order and design in the universe suggest?

01-16-C-True

Correct, this perfection is certainly not manmade, nor did it happen by accident!

01-16-B-True

Correct! That is reasonable.

01-16-A-False

How could a house exist without someone building it? How could a human footprint be made without a human? How could an animal footprint be made without the animal?

01-16-A-True

Correct! Neither can exist without someone or something making it.

01-16-D-Yes

Correct! Knowing facts before they are scientifically discovered or proven is humanly impossible with revelation by the all-knowing God.

2-01-B-Yes

Please show me the contradiction so we can research and discuss. Thanks!

2-06-A-Some

Why do you believe SOME is the right answer, given what Jesus said in John 16:13?

2-3-A-True

Correct, that is what Job said and pictures of the earth from space prove that it is!

2-0-A-True

Correct! Something cannot come from nothing; a creator is required.

1-14-B-True

Correct! God demonstrated His love for us by the gift of His Son making eternal life a reality.

1-14-A-False

Why do you believe this conclusion is incorrect?

1-13-B-True

Correct, that was Peter’s conclusion!

1-12-B-Yes

Correct, He has! It was about 2000 years ago.

1-12-C-True

Correct, they were! The Bible says it, so we can confidently believe it!

Correct! The design is too complex to think it came from nothing.

SFT05-8-B-False

5-0-B-False

Correct! Christians are not under the Law and are not obligated to keep any of it!

5-0-A-False

Why do you believe Jesus is not God and/or why does He not have all authority in your daily life?

5-0-A-True

Great! Jesus is God and we succeed when we turn daily control over to Him.

2-15-A-False

What makes this a false statement since Matthew 28:18 confirms Jesus’ power and 1 Timothy 2:5 says He is “the one Mediator”, there is no other Mediator?

2-13-B-No

What scriptures suggest obeying Jesus is not necessary?

2-11-B-True

Correct! The man God created was perfect and remaining perfect would require complete submission to God’s will.

2-11-A-False

What makes this statement false after considering all that is revealed in John 1 and then restated by Paul in Colossians 1:15-17?

2-11-A-True

Correct, with His power we see Him simply speaking things into existence from nothing, Genesis 1!

2-10-B-Yes

2-09-D-False

How can this be a false statement when you consider all four verses, John 1:14-17?

Why do you say Matthew’s account is not true or that it was not prophesied over 700 years earlier?

2-4-C-False

How would Isaiah have known something so unique 700 years before it actually happened?

2-4-B-True

Correct! Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus, just as prophesied.

2-4-A-False

How could a Bible with historical inaccuracies be consider inspired by an all-knowing God?

5-1-D-Yes

Correct! Truth can make you free, if you will abide in it (obey it) as stated in John 8:31-32.
