Gal 3:7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.

Adherents of the Swoon Theory claim that Jesus did not actually die on the cross, but merely fell unconscious or ‘swooned’. After being placed in a damp tomb - bleeding and without food or water for three days he then revived. He somehow unwrapped the grave clothes, rolled away the two-ton stone, overpowered the guards and went on to convince others that he had risen from the dead.

They are jointly commissioned to fill the earth and rule over creation. Gen 1:28 (NIV) God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over … every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Our authority in the church (the Body of Christ) is derived from Jesus as the head of the church. Eph 1:22-23 (NIV) And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. 1 Cor 12:28 (ESV) And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH? It ought to be the business of every day to prepare for our last day. Christians must live their lives packed up and ready to go. Jesus spoke of a PREPARED PLACE for a PREPARED PEOPLE: John 14:1-2 (NIV) “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” He also spoke of a PREPARED PLACE for an UNPREPARED PEOPLE: Matt 25:41 (NIV) “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.’”

Of those who believe in heaven, over half (53%) believe that someone who does not believe in God can go to heaven.

For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. Matt 23:33 (NIV) Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?

Yet others use the word “Christian” to speak of a deep personal relationship between Jesus Christ and an individual.
