in order to experience eternal life. No one is born in this world a Chris tian. We all enter as sinners and all in dividually need to accept Christ. How ever, sometimes people are saved when very young and cannot identify the day and hour in which they became children of God. That is not so important if they know for certain that they have received Him, and that their sins are forgiven for His name’s sake. Is there any spiritual or prophetic sig nificance to the Pyramids of Egypt? No, I do not believe there is. The study of the measurements of the Pyramids is interesting from a scientific standpoint, but to teach that God has placed any of His secrets in things like that is utter nonsense. We have a Book from God, the Bible, which contains the plan of God for the ages, and if we want light on future events, we can find it there. How can it be that Satan, who was once an angel of God, is eternally lost, and a Christian who believes, as you teach, is eternally saved? There is no connection between these two things. Satan was never saved as we are. He is a created angelic being, not a man. He was given an import ant position as a guardian of the throne of God, but the pride in his heart overcame him and he plotted God’s over throw. So God cast him out, and there is no doubt at all about his future. He is to be confined forever in the lake of fire. God has not provided any salvation for fallen angels. But, through the death of Jesus on the cross, the salvation of sin ners who will accept Him as their per sonal Saviour is assured forever.

Some people say it does not make-any difference what you believe just so you are sincere. Is that right? I would say that it is possible to be 100% sincere and yet to be lost. Be ing sincere is never sufficient for salva tion! The Hottentots, the head-hunters, the Moslems, are utterly sincere, but that' is not an indication that they are right. The classic example of this, of course, is the Apostle Paul who believed that Christ was an imposter, and that all believers were fanatics, until Christ met him on the Damascus road and his life and mind were changed. He was sincere, but wrong, before his conversion; he was sincere, and right, afterwards. Someone said to me, “I’d like to be a Christian but I don’t care to go to church.” What is the answer to that problem? This person is confusing two entirely different things. It is true that some are saved in the church, and others outside of the church. It is Christ alone that saves and not any organization or any church. But after a man is saved, and has become a real Christian, you can’t keep him away from church. He wants to go where he can have fellowship with God’s people, and where he can worship the Lord. But the matter of salvation is separate and apart from church attend ance. You can be saved as you listen to the gospel on the .radio, in your own home, or in an open field . . . any place where God meets your heart. You must acknowledge that you are a sinner and you must receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. After that, the- matter of going to church will take care of itself, for that is where you will de sire to be. 7 have a friend who insists that he has always been a Christian, for he was reared in a Christian home. Does he need anything more than that? Yes, he does. He needs to he saved. It is a wonderful thing to be born in a Christian home and to be taught the Word of God from infancy, but your father’s or mother’s salvation is not suf ficient for you. The Word of God is clear in its teaching that “ all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” and that “ ye must be born again”
