Spirit of Life Ministries has a passion to teach and equip the saints so that they will understand scripture and be able to know how to be a witness for Jesus Christ.

We do not charge for this school, although many similar schools charge a lot of money. We know many could never afford the teachings if they cost money.

We want to thank those that do support us with their giving, which enables those that can't to be able to be students.

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY

"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen "
Mark 16:20 KJV

ACTS 2:38 – PART 1
 
Following the outpouring of the Holy Ghost in Acts 2:4, a crowd numbering in the thousands were pricked in their hearts to become Christ followers after hearing Peter’s spontaneous sermon. They asked in Acts 2:37, “What shall we do?”
 
Acts 2:38 records Peter’s response. “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
 
Peter did not yet entirely understand the fullness of salvation as was later evidenced in his thinking that a believer still had to follow Jewish law. (His understanding grew over time.) He spoke that with which he was familiar.
 
He was familiar with John the Baptist’s ministry. John preached repentance. John baptized those who repented as a sign of their confession from sin unto faith. Peter and the other disciples had likewise baptized in water the newly converted followers of Jesus. This is the only thing he knew to do, except that it must now be done in Jesus’ name as his followers instead of followers of Jewish law. In so doing, they would receive the gift of the Holy Ghost impartation unto salvation, just like when Jesus breathed upon the eleven disciples in John 20:22 and said to them, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” When they did this, they became born again through the impartation of Holy Ghost baptism unto salvation. This is the impartation of the Holy Ghost that 3,000 new converts received that day. It is not necessary to think that all 3,000 received the Holy Ghost baptism of power (Acts 1:8, “…ye shall receive power”) as did the 120 that day in the upper room, with tongues. Although some could have spoken in tongues also, it is not likely as these are two different and distinct works of the Holy Ghost. 
 
The next thing Peter knew to tell them, after repentance was to be baptized in water just as they had been doing with other converts of Jesus, and as John had done before then.
 
As I mentioned yesterday, this verse (Acts 2:38) has often been misunderstood causing much controversy and division especially in Pentecostal ranks. Some of the doctrines that have emerged even take on “cult-like” characteristics, especially with a relatively small group of Pentecostals called “Apostolic.”
 
Tomorrow we will look at the misconstrued doctrines of those “Apostolic Pentecostals.” We need to recognize error so that we can be careful to separate it from true understanding of the scriptures.

HOW ONE SERMON CHANGED MY LIFE
 
I was brought up in a traditional denominational church. When I was eleven, I went to Another denomination’s summer bible camp and personally received Jesus as my Savior. I continued going to my “family” church into my adult years. Even though I went to church every Sunday and I was in the church choir, I don’t remember ever hearing a message about receiving Jesus as your Savior from the pulpit until a new Pastor came when I was in my early 20’s. When he preached it felt like I was walking where Jesus walked. He made the scriptures come alive. I learned that he was a Spirit-filled man. 
 
What this means is that he not only was born again, but that he had also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit which gives you the power to be a witness. One message he preached changed my life years later. He told the story of man that went to a village in Africa that was very hostile towards missionaries. This man stood up to preach in their village and out of his mouth came a language he had never learned, (which just happened to be the language of that village, by the way) and the entire village received salvation. This was an amazing story.
 
A few years later I left Michigan and came to Florida. I found a church that was the same denomination that I had grown up in. I got involved with the choir and taught Sunday School.  One Sunday a message was preached that said that speaking in tongues was of the devil. Instantly the story about this missionary rose up in my spirit. I had very little knowledge of the Bible my friends. I was a nominal church goer like so many others are today. When he preached message, I immediately thought, “There is no way that speaking in unknown tongues could be of the devil if a whole village got saved.” We never know what one message we share can do for someone. It may change their lives. This message changed me.
 
I didn’t leave that church and become a Pentecostal. I thought speaking in tongues was a gift for some, but not for all.  Then later, still reluctant to “go all the way” with this gift of tongues, I was challenged by someone else with scripture. I was told “you are limiting God.” This statement made me very angry, but I loved the Lord and asked him if it were true, and he kindly answered, “yes.”
 
I determined that I didn’t want to limit God in my life. I wanted everything He had. I started reading the Bible, and studying on my own, and I grew and grew. What about you? Are you stuck in tradition like I was? Do you want more of God in your life? What is holding you back from going all the way with God? Don’t let wrong teaching and traditions keep you from receiving all that God has for you. I didn’t, and I have no regrets!

If our Newsletters have been an encouragement to you,
please send us an email and tell us about it.
From a reader in Virginia:

"Your simple explanation of the gospel was spot on, Helen. If only preachers and ministers would just present it this way I think more would come to understand it and be drawn to the gospel and salvation by God's good grace. It doesn't have to be confusing and mysterious. Thank you and God bless you for the work you do.
FROM A READER IN OHIO

I enjoy reading the Daily News Letter every morning. It is very informative, enjoy all the different topics. I've learned a lot of new subjects from the Bible. Understand things that I didn't before.
From a reader in
Alabama:

Just a note of encouragement. You both had very good messages today. Thank you for your dedication and hard work in this ministry. I check it out daily but seldom give you encouragement. Be blessed today in Jesus' name.

During your lifetime there’ll be many people to walk THROUGH your life. ALL of them are for a REASON...But SOME are ONLY for a SEASON. Discern the difference and know when to move on.
