Should we preach the gospel of the Cross alone, as so many Christians do? Should we tell people to trust in their repentance prayers to strive to be saved through incremental sanctification? Absolutely not!
We should strive to believe and preach the gospel truth that was revealed to us by the Word of God and God Himself—the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Just as the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 2:13, "For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe."
