"but Is It In The Bible?"

Contributed by David Nolte on Jul 6, 2022

Many people teach and practice things that are not in the Bible. Here is a sample of my book, "But Is It In The Bible?"

At the outset, let me assure the reader that I believe that we are saved by grace through faith. We do not earn, merit, or work for salvation. It is a free gift, paid for and delivered by Jesus. But it is appropriated by faith. Faith is always more than mere head stuff. It is more than assent to ...read more
