Pastor Nelson Turner preaching on the Lord's Day July 12, 2009 from the AV1611 King James Bible, the inpired word of God for the end-times English speaking people of the earth, demonstrates that there are only two ordinances of the Lord Jesus Christ in the New Testament, and that while these show forth the grace of the Lord unto believers they do not in themselves by mere outward signs impart that grace. The Pastor shows that the sacerdotal system of the "works salvation" Arminian sects (still tethered to the church of Rome in this practice) is something that was pasted into the pure practice of the early Church founded by the Lord Jesus Christ and transmitted by His apostles. The two ordinances given by the Lord for observance by His followers are Baptism and the memorial of The Lord's Supper. Both of these are for believers ONLY. So infants and those who have not or cannot profess belief in Jesus Christ -- as the son of God who died for our sins and is risen from the dead seated at the right Hand of His Father in heaven where He serves as the One Mediator between God and man until He comes in glory to gather His Elect from all corners of the earth at the last trumpet -- do not receive any benefit from either Baptism or communion in the Lord's Supper since they cannot receive by these signs what has not been given them by God's Will and calling by the Holy Spirit. In fact, lack of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior brings a condemnation upon those who thus unworthily eat and drink the symbols of His sacrifice. The proper performance of the rites transmitted to the faithful from the beginning is reviewed by Pastor Turner, particularly baptism by immersion, which he demonstrates contrasts dramatically with the "sprinklings" practiced by many churches which have not been able historically or willfully to cut their subservience to Rome in this matter - as in others. Verses from the AV1611 King James Bible used in this sermon include: Luke 1:6/ Hebrews 9:1,10; 6:2/ 1 Corinthians 11:2/ Ephesians 2:15; 4:5/ Colossians 2:17/ Acts 8:26-29, 36; 1:21; 28/ Matthew 3:13/ Romans 6:4/ 1 Peter 3:21. If this is a blessing unto you by God's grace, or if you have questions regarding the pure practice of the Christian faith as found in the word of God, please contact Pastor Turner at drogheda@comcast.net .
