Examine your Faith
• What do you believe? Do you believe Gods word is absolute truth?
• Is there salvation in what you believe?
• Are you being misled by a false teacher?
• We can all learn God's word in the scripture, we can also determine the truth from scripture with help from the Holy Spirit

for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
