"He that believeth and is baptized the same shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." (Mark 16:16)

 

At our baptism we pledged ourselves to break all connection with Satan and his agencies, and to put heart and mind and soul into the work of extending the kingdom of God.

All heaven is working for this object. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are pledged to cooperate with sanctified human instrumentalities. If we are true to our vow, there is opened to us a door of communication with heaven—a door that no human hand or satanic agency can close. (RH May 17, 1906), (6BC 1075)
