Church mission can be found in the book of Acts as an act initiated and supported by God. There are three strong points to what a scriptural mission contains. The first point, is the Calling of those that God desires for the journey. Secondly, The Holy Spirit leads the individuals to the places where He desires for them to go. And thirdly, it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ that is to be taught on this biblical missionary assignment. The Gospel is the Death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The gospel must include that humanity is justified before God in the believing in Jesus Christ.
In Acts chapter 13, we see the church gathering together to seek the desires of God in sending missionaries throughout the region. The missionaries …show more content…

This is done through true prayer and supplication.
Secondly, we see The Holy Spirit guide the ones He calls to where it is they are to go. Acts chapter 13:4 tells us that it was the Holy Spirit that sent the “called ones” off to where they were to go. Luke, the physician affirms this in these verses, “So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.” (Acts 13:4–5, KJV 1900). In order for God to bless the mission, He will send the missionaries.
Finally, the mission must be a mission of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The missionaries experienced great changes in the hearts of the people, because it was the Word of God preached by Barnabas and Paul that convicted all that heard it and were ordained to receive it. Paul read from scripture and then gave the mysteries of Jesu Christ as the foundation of his teachings. Paul preached the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ that justifies humanity from their sin. “But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law

5 And men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil. And the law is given unto men. And by the law no flesh is justified; or, by the law men are cut off. Yea, by the temporal law they were cut off; and also, by the spiritual law they perish from that which is good, and become miserable forever.6 Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.7 Behold, he offerth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.

He tells him that, by the gospel, “A person can be drawn into the Faith, not forced into it.” (Document 3) Instead of forcing the people to convert to Christianity, the gospel should be taught to everyone, as they will not obtain salvation if they do not decide for themselves whether to accept it as the truth and live by it. This is the way that God intended for the gospel to be spread throughout the world. It has no impact on a person if they do not make the decision of their own accord to accept God into their

The resurrection has not yet occurred which reunites them with their bodies (I Cor. 15:42–49). Men have died for many things throughout the ages, but these are the most noble of all, for they have sacrificed their lives “for the word of God” and their “witness” for Jesus. The “word of God” is a phrase meaning the message preached and taught by the early church and includes the gospel. 6:10 THEY CRIED OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE, Here we learn their prayer.

Poe’s relation to The Cask of Amontillado The story “The Cask of Amontillado” is a short story full of revenge, hatred and ultimately death. Many believe that this story is made entirely from Poe’s imagination. In reality, Poe used events that occurred in his own life to write the majority of the plot in this story. Poe based most of the story off of his alcohol addiction, his family’s deaths from tuberculosis, and the dark and often macabre times that he had experienced in his life.
