Salvation through Born Again 132 thank offerings on the day of resurrection. Be an example to gentiles. 12 O church; do not use plate or bag to collect offerings on Sunday, 13 but use only offerings box for the offerings as God said long before. 14 In this matter if anyone arg- ues with worldly knowledge like unrest sea tides, 15 make walk by word, do not be entangled with cunning devi- ces of those who called them- selves wise and great preachers. 16 II O church, one of you says and argue that - the believers should change their gentile names. 17 Because – God change Abram’s name into Abraham, Sarah’s name into Sarah and 18 God called you by your name and elected, is it? It is, 19 the saints must be called with biblical names and not with gentiles. 20 Another one argues that - certain person’s name is in the Holy Bible, yet he is leading a sinful life worse than a gentile, 21 We are great than him though The Salvation is the Gift of God our names are not in the bible. 22 So, we write this to you to know and live for the glory of the Lord. 23 Lo, he must understand that God knows everyone’s name irrespective of whether they are in the Holy Bible or not. 24 Be it biblical name or others name must live glorious life for God through his name is impor- tant. 25 In this regard – he must know that Daniel and his friends were introduced to the world with alien names. 26 In another place the Lord exhorts – you have a name that you live but you are dead. He who argues must know this. 27 Nothing is there in the name of the bible or something else. 28 Because – he who argues this must know that is, living a fruitful life for the glory of the Lord is important above all. 29 In this regard it is written – My name is blasphemed among the gentiles through you. 30 He must understand that having a holy bible name Paul – and living as a drunkard or adul- terer, Salvation through Born Again 133 31 living with other name is good. 32 And we understand that who has a gentile name, though not knowing the word of God and 33 he is doing according to the word, he is fulfilling God’s will without his knowing, so he is better than the one having biblical name. 34 In this regard it is written – than gentiles who do not know the law, have it in their minds imprinted by their deeds. 35 II If anyone has the holy bible’s name and living for the glory of the name of the Lord, he will be commended by the Lord, 36 he is worthy of eternal bless- ings by the Lord. 37 So such person’s children will abundantly be blessed by God. 38 II Lo, another one asks – How are the names of the gentile God’s written in GOD’s living book? 39 Are not those names devices of enemy to steal God’s glory? 40 Such people should under stand to alter the names of gentile God’s so that those names may be lightly changed. 41 Because it is written – you are not to speak about those gentile The Salvation is the Gift of God God’s and I know you by your name only. 42 So prove and test what is acceptable to the Lord, 43 see that you may fulfill His will not as fools but as wise. 44 Walk in watchfulness that others may not blame you. CHAPTER 28 Oh church! Any one of you is commending himself that we go to heaven as we keep the ten commandments of the law, 2 o church, whoever speaks like that be it catholic, protestant, orthodox, or something else, 3 whether he is keeping the co- mmandments of the law or fulf- illing the whole law, what you need to know is - 4 one must be born again to enter into the kingdom of God, inspite of fulfilling the whole law. 5 Because - New Birth is the main commandment in all com- mandments of the God and if gives life. 6 If anyone argues to observe the law to enter into the kingdom of God, 7 He is the one who like fire- wood to be tormented in the hell forever and is appointed for it.
