Sermon by Mike Smith

1. Calling On the Name of the Lord Romans 10:13

2. Importance of Calling On His Name: Salvation is for those who call on His name. Rom. 10:13; Acts 4:10, 12 God is faithful and keeps His promises! 2 Peter 3:9 Salvation comes when the calling is done. Let us answer… How is the calling done? What are some false ideas about this calling?

3. How To Call On The Name of the Lord: Is the calling done by prayer? Jn. 9:31; Acts 9:11; 10:4 “No scripture for the ‘sinner’s prayer’” Is this calling done through asking for love? John 3:16; Romans 5:8 “No” Is it through asking for mercy? Eph. 2:4; Titus 3:5 “No” Is it by asking for grace? Rom. 3:24 “No”

4. How To Call On The Name of the Lord: Contradictions by sects… Claim to call on the name of the Lord; yet say they are not saved after calling… …Must be baptized in the Holy Spirit, must get that special feeling, etc. But salvation always follows the right calling! Rom. 10:13; Acts 22:16 Therefore their calling (the denominational callings) must not be right.
