Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

Acts 2:24-38 by Robert Dean
Is repentance a requirement for salvation? Is baptism a requirement of salvation? We don't believe so. We believe that salvation comes to those who simply believe in Jesus for salvation. But what about Peter's message in Acts 2:38? Didn't he call upon his audience to repent and be baptized in order to be saved? Sure he did, but you might be surprised when you find out what he was really talking about.
