My Cheat Sheet for Sunday. Michael Larsen

is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

      Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Isaiah 43:8

      What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

      And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

      Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

       Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

       Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

       But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

       Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

       Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

       And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

       Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

       Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

       For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:14-26

      Chapter Three: Baptism

       Sunday is the day of my water baptism:

      Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:19-20

       ***

      Then Peter said unto them, 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. Acts 2:38

      But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

      Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

      Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

      Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

      (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

      Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:12-17

      To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

      While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

      And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

      For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

      Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

      And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Acts 10:43-48

      And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

      He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

      And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

      Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

      When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

      And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

      And all the men were about twelve.

      And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

      But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

      And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. Acts 19:1-10

      ***

       I can only find verses where someone was baptized in the name of Jesus or the Lord, if Matthew 28:19-20 wasn't the practice then, why is it the practice now? Both Gentiles and Jews were baptized in the name of Jesus.

      Chapter Four: Pentecost

       Sunday is the day of Pentecost:

      Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.

      Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.

      And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.

      Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

      And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.

      And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

      And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 23:16-22

      And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

      And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

      And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

      And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4

      I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

      Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

      Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

      But John forbad him, saying, I have need to
