Was Cornelius, the Roman centurion, saved before and without baptism? Some so claim.

“Terrorist” is a word with which we are quite familiar these days—at least in a political sense. What about “terrorists” in the church? They were present in the early church, and they are today as well. We must learn to identify them if the church is to be kept pure.

Sometimes the most unpleasant topics are worthy of addressing for the benefit of others. That is the case with the theme below.
