16. The Way to Heaven
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." What was meant by these words? And can there be salvation outside of Jesus Christ (or The Promise in the Old Testament)? This section reviews those areas of Scripture that show that there <B>is</B> a difference between Christianity and other religions--and makes more urgent for us Jesus' final command: "Go into ALL the world and make disciples of ALL nations..."

Luther and Baptism
A piece someone sent me, dated from 1523, of a baptismal service which Luther translated into German and modified. It does indeed have the exorcism in it. This would have been written six years after the 95 Thesis (31 October 1517). While it seems long for a baptism, remember that baptsims were often done outside the church service proper. Luther speaks not of making a joke of the exorcism, but that those attending the baptism be mindful of the serious nature of sin. Luther also says, in his explanation, that many of the external elements could be left out, but he retained them for the sake of weak consciences. Maybe today it would be better to leave the exorcism OUT for the same reason. Do those who reinstate the exorcism also apply the mud and spittle? One should note the context of Luther when he did something, and often his reason. Sometimes it wasn't a Scriptural reason, but a matter of exercising Christian freedom and avoiding offense.

What do you Know?
What makes a Christian? Is it knowledge of the mysteries of Scripture? Is it the ability to explain doctrines in detail? Read this anecdote (not sure if it's true, but the message hits home) and find out. While pastors and theologians need to study doctrine and teachings so they know whereof they speak, to the person in the pew, it's simply knowing this "trustworthy saying:" Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners!
