Gospels - ACTS - Epistles

In order to understand the Plan of Salvation, we must first understand that there are 3 divisions in the New Testament.  The Gospels - The Book of Acts - The Epistles.

THE GOSPELS

    I Matthew - Mark - Luke - and John

    (In the Gospels we learn about Jesus)

    1. The Ministry of John the Baptist.
    2. The Birth of Jesus.
    3. The Life of Jesus.
    4. The Ministry of Jesus Christ.
    5. The Calling of His Disciples.
    6. His Miracles.
    7. His Death, Burial and Resurrection.

    Turn to any place in the Gospels and you will read about one of these seven topics.

    What we do not find in the Gospels?

    1. There was no Christian Church founded in the Gospels. Matt. 16:18.
    2. No one received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost in the Gospels. John 7:38-39.

    Men could repent and have their sins forgiven in the Gospels.

    Example:

    1. The Thief on the cross. Luke 23:43.
    2. The man with the palsy. Mark 2:5.

    However: Full Salvation or conversion was not possible until Jesus was crucified and ascended. Luke 22:32, Acts 1:4-8, John 7:38-39

    We must go on to the book of Acts to find where the First Church was founded. Full Salvation was first experienced on the Day of Pentecost.

    Note the authority given to the Apostles by the Lord. John 17:20. Galations 1:8,9; Ephesians 2:20.  The words of Jesus versus the words of the Apostles.

    Turn to any place in any of the four Gospels and you will find one of these. You will read about one of these.

    1. The Ministry of John the Baptist.
    2. The Birth of Jesus.
    3. The Life of Jesus.
    4. The Ministry of Jesus.
    5. The Calling of His Disciples.
    6. His Miracles.
    7. His death, burial and resurrection.
