I offer $1000 to the first person who can show me in the scriptures (the Bible) the following:
The sinner’s prayer. This means one example in the New Testament (effective after the death of Christ, when our New Testament law came into effect, Hebrews 9:17) where an alien sinner (one who has never been saved) was saved or told to be saved by prayer.
One New Testament example of someone being saved prior to baptism. (This is again effective after the death of Christ.)
One place in the New Testament which says that baptism has nothing to do with one’s salvation, that one is saved and then later baptized to show what God has done for a person.
Where the Bible says that Christ will come back to earth, set up a literal kingdom in Jerusalem and reign 1000 years.
The reason for offering these rewards is to try to bring to people’s attention that some commonly held beliefs are not taught in God’s Word. You would think that if a person believes or teaches a doctrine for which he is offered $1,000 to reveal from God’s Word, one would either collect the reward or quit believing and teaching it. So far, no one has collected a $1,000 reward. It is still available (Write to me at L.C. Moore, 358 Moores Branch Rd., Beattyville, KY 41311 or call me at 606-464-9353).
