Introduction
This is all For the Glory of God!
Prayer….
Ask that the saints pray for the sinners while I am speaking	

Tell about a church living for the Lord, full of God and a theme called 
“Fire Between Two Mountains”  I’ll come back to this…….

How many think they can just believe and that is all that is needed?
John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Believeth
In Greek pisteuo pist-yoo'-o 
1b1) used in the NT of the conviction and trust to which a man is impelled by a certain inner and higher prerogative and law of soul 
1b2) to trust in Jesus or God as able to aid either in obtaining or in doing something: saving faith

What is Salvation?
	From Harper’s Bible Dictionary:
	Salvation = deliverance from sin and its consequences, and the coming to peace and reconciliation with God.

	A salvation that still left sin in command was not salvation in any sense

	How can you be saved?  Open Bible to John Chap. 3
	Within John 3:3 it states:  Jesus said; “…Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”
		
	It is only by Jesus, and Jesus only.  John 14:6 is very clear
	“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

What is sin?
1.	1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
2.	James 4:17  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

What is Backsliding?
	To fall back into sin after being saved, and stay in that condition.  The moment you return to a status of salvation you are no longer a backslider.  Any out there today.  Your looking at one who did it and came back through the Lords mighty grace.
	You don’t have to stay a backslider; the devil is the only one who makes you think that you cannot ever come back.  Look to the light, don’t listen to that voice telling it is too late, it is the devil…….

This Alter is open throughout this whole service.  Remember how I could not wait….

Conclusion

Finish the Vision from God to me over this Church, “Fire Between Two Mountains”

How do you get right with the Lord?

	Acts 2:38-39:	“Then Peter said unto them, repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and ye shall received the gift of the Holy Ghost.  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall Call.”
	And to all that are afar off!  This means you, us in this late age of this world.

Call to all to recognize the leading of the spirit……….Don’t wait another minute?
