BIBLE STUDY QUESTIONS
LESSON 4

These Bible study questions were created to provide assistance to those who wish to study God’s will directly from the Bible.  The answers are quite clear, and they prove that we can have the same understanding as the apostles had by reading what they wrote (Ephesians 3:4).  We challenge you to open your Bible and establish the truth.  Please answer each question with a Yes or No based upon the information obtained from studying the verses from God’s Word. 

ON SIN AND ITS SOLUTION

  1. Isaiah 59:1-2, Romans 3:23 – Does sin separate man from God and His favor?
    Have all sinned?
  1. Luke 19:10, Romans 1:16 – Did Jesus, the Son of Man, come to save man from sin?
  1. Mark 16:15-16 – Is the gospel for all nations and races?
    Does the gospel say man must both believe and be baptized to be saved?

ON BAPTISM

  1. Acts 2:36-41 – Does being “pricked in their heart” indicate they believed?
    When these sinners asked what they must do, were they told that there was nothing that they could do?
    Were they commanded to repent and be baptized for the remission of their sins?
    Did those who gladly received the word refuse to be baptized?
  1. Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:18-21 –
    Was baptism commanded because sin was already washed away?
    Does baptism have anything to do with saving a person?
  1. Acts 8:36-39 – Did this man confess faith in Christ Jesus before being baptized?
    Was this example of baptism a baptism in water?
    Did both Philip and the eunuch both go down into the water?
    Does this indicate that Philip immersed the eunuch?
  1. Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12 – Was Paul buried with Christ in baptism?
    Would you be pleasing God to be baptized as Paul and the eunuch were?
    Is it God’s will for men to substitute sprinkling or pouring for baptism?
  1. Acts 2:41,47 – Does the Lord immediately add those who are baptized to the saved?
  1. James 2:24, Acts 2:47 – Since “faith only” does not justify, would the Lord add anyone to His church who claims salvation by “faith only?”

ON DIVISIONS AND DENOMINATIONS  

  1. Ephesians 4:4-6 – Does the Bible teach there are many valid baptisms?
    Does the Bible teach there is one body, just as there is one Lord and one God?
  1. Ephesians 1:22-23 – Is the one body the same as the church?
  1. John 17:20-21 – Were God and Jesus divided in any way?
    Is Jesus concerned when there is division in His church?
  1. 1 Corinthians 1:10-13 – Are we permitted to speak different things in religious matters from that which was spoken by the authority of Christ?
    Was Christ pleased when some called themselves after Paul, Apollos, and Cephas?
    Is Christ pleased with the division of the religious world and the denominational systems today where some are called after men and others after various doctrines rather than after Christ?

ON CORRECT DESIGNATIONS  

  1. Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28, 1 Peter 4:16 –
    Were the disciples called Christians in the New Testament?
    Is it right to be called a Paulite Christian, an Apollosite Christian, or a Cephasite Christian?
  1. Matthew 16:18, Acts 20:28, Romans 16:16 – Does the church belong to Christ?
    Did any group of men pay a purchase price for the church so that it belongs to them?
    Were several congregations called churches of Christ?
  1. Acts 2:36-41,47 – When these believed, repented, and were baptized, did the Lord save them and added them to his church?

ON THE LORD’S SUPPER AND GIVING

  1. Matthew 26:26-29 –
    Does Jesus indicate that the Lord’s Supper would be in His kingdom (or church)?
    Were the disciples to partake of both “the bread” and “the fruit of the vine?”
  1. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 –
    Will His church proclaim the Lord’s death by observing this supper “till he comes” again?
    If you were in His church, is it God’s will that you regularly partake of the Lord’s Supper?
  1. Acts 20:7 –
    Did the early Christians observe the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week (Sunday)?
  1. 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 – Did the church at Corinth meet and give into the
    treasury on the same day, the first day of the week?
    Was this a regular day of assembling for the church?
