Salvation is one thing. True and complete conversion is another matter. Peter was a follower, a disciple, an apostle. But he was yet to be fully converted to Christ.

In today's class (March 22) we are beginning in our study of the DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY.
When is the last time most Christians have studied the Trinity and understand why it is so essential to our Christian faith? The goal in the next few weeks is to better understand and be able as a group to articulate this which comes under our study of the Doctrine of God.
Under severe persecution, it was necessary for the church to go underground. God promised the church would remain forever. While the church did not cease, it did go into the wilderness.
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Effective Techniques for Removing Negative Entities
When converted
1. When you have returned –
NKJV
When you are converted -
KJV
Luke 22:31-34
2. Luke 22:31-34
31 And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon!
Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he
may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed
for you, that your faith should not fail; and
when you have returned to Me, strengthen
your brethren." 33 But he said to Him,
"Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to
prison and to death." 34 Then He said, "I
tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow
this day before you will deny three times
that you know Me."
3. Notice Peter
Peter was a convert of John the Baptizer
He left John to follow Christ
He was appointed as one of the 12
apostles
He has followed Christ for 3.5 years
He has confessed that Jesus the Christ, the
Son of God.
NOW – Jesus is saying that he needs to
return to Christ and be converted
4. Notice Today
Many are baptized – but never fully
converted to Christ
They may follow Christ, attend worship,
participate in the work of the congregation
Then something happens and they are
gone
Alcohol, profanity, worldly attractions
Marital problems, family issues, financial stress
Moral or doctrinal departures
5. Jesus to Peter
When you are converted (returned) to me
Give up the world
Cease from sin
Leave the moral corruption around you
Worship in spirit and truth
Teach, study, share your faith
Strengthen the brethren
When you are converted, you can help others
You can bring others back
You can show them the way to return
6. Are you converted?
Are you truly converted to Christ?
Have you changed your life?
Convert = term in science
Caterpillar to butterfly = conversion
Ice (solid) to water (liquid) to steam (gas)
Have you EVER been converted?
Like Peter, have you been baptized but
need to be converted?
7. Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that you present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your
reasonable service. 2 And do not be
conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that you may prove what is that
good and acceptable and perfect will of
God.
