Sermon
by Mr Armstrong
Are you really a Christian?
given 9th July 1983 played Wales UK 13th December 2003
Mr Armstrong makes plain, that baptism in water - though required - does not make someone a Christian. It is the baptism (immersion) by one Spirit that places someone into the body of God's One True Church (1Cor 12:13), giving us a totally different purpose, attitude and direction in life. This Spirit is the essential ingredient to create within us God's mind and attitude - as children of God. Increasing this character of God must continue throughout our human lives. (11.2 Mb)
