The kingdom of heaven
- A.
  
  Is another term for the church
- B.
  
  Is not the same as the church
- C.
  
  Will end at the rapture
- D.
  
  Began at Pentecost
Correct Answer
B. Is not the same as the church

Explanation
One final point is that the kingdom is not the same as the church. The
kingdom began when Christ entered on His public ministry; the church
began on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). The kingdom will continue on earth
till the earth is destroyed; the church continues on earth till the rapture,
then it will return with Christ at His second advent to reign with Him as
His bride. At the present time the people who are in the kingdom in its true,
inner reality are also in the churc

The people who were baptized by John were indicating
- A.
  
  They wanted their neighbors to see their piety
- B.
  
  They were ready to give allegiance and obedience to the King
- C.
  
  They were excited about John’s ministry
- D.
  
  They wanted to be part of a new movement
Correct Answer
B. They were ready to give allegiance and obedience to the King

Explanation
Yet people flocked out to
hear him from Jerusalem, Judea, and the trans-Jordan area (v. 5). A godly
remnant of Israelites responded to his message and were baptized by him
in the Jordan. They were saying in effect that they were ready to give full
allegiance and obedience to the coming King.
With the Pharisees and Sadducees it was a different story. When they
stepped forward to be baptized, John knew that they were not sincere.
While the Pharisees professed great devotion to the law, they were inwardly
corrupt, sectarian, hypocritical, and self-righteous.

John’s reference to the Messiah baptizing “with fire” meant
- A.
  
  The coming of the Spirit at Pentecost
- B.
  
  The gift of zeal and energy
- C.
  
  Judgment
- D.
  
  Cleansing from sin and impurities
Correct Answer
C. Judgment

Explanation
The second main proof that the baptism with fire represents judgment
is that immediately following the reference to this baptism, John gave the
explanation found in verse 12 (see also Luke 3:17). Here the Lord is pictured
using a winnowing fork to toss the threshed grain up into the wind. The
wheat (true believers) falls directly to the ground; from there it is carried
into His garner (the kingdom). The chaff (unbelievers) is carried a short
distance away by the wind; from there it is taken away to be burned “with
unquenchable fire.” The fire here in verse 12 obviously means judgment.
Since verse 12 amplifies verse 11, it is reasonable to conclude that the
baptism with fire is a baptism of judgment.

In being baptized Jesus was identifying Himself with
- A.
  
  The leaders of Israel
- B.
  
  The common people
- C.
  
  John’s disciples
- D.
  
  Godly Israelites
Correct Answer
D. Godly Israelites

Explanation
It was a true instinct that led the Baptist
to suggest that the proper order would be
for him to be baptized by Jesus. The Lord
did not deny this; He simply repeated His request for baptism as a fitting
way in which to fulfill all righteousness. It was appropriate that in baptism
He should identify Himself with those godly Israelites who were coming
forward to be baptized by John unto repentance.

The Holy Spirit led Jesus to be tempted by the devil
- A.
  
  To see if He would be able to withstand temptation
- B.
  
  To give Him a chance to convert the devil
- C.
  
  To delay His time of ministry to Israel
- D.
  
  To demonstrate His moral fitness for His work
Correct Answer
D. To demonstrate His moral fitness for His work

Explanation
At first, it may seem strange to us that Jesus should be led by the
Spirit to be tempted by the devil (v. 1). The reason is that it was necessary
to demonstrate Christ’s moral fitness for the work to which He had been
called. The first Adam proved his unfitness for dominion when he met the
adversary in the garden of Eden. Here, the last Adam meets the devil in a
head-on confrontation in the wilderness and emerges unscathed.

The most important thing for successful service is
- A.
  
  A good education and strong contacts

  Holiness of life and true spirituality

  Many supporters and a large budget
- D.

B. Holiness of life and true spirituality

These may be very convincing,
and may even seem to produce results, but
the fact remains that there is no substitute for holiness of life or for true
spirituality. We must begin here, for that is where God begins.

The way of salvation
- A.
  
  Was different in the Old Testament
- B.
  
  Changes according to the time period
- C.
  
  Was changed when Christ died
- D.
  
  Has been the same throughout all history
Correct Answer
D. Has been the same throughout all history

Explanation
Basically, the gospel is the good news of salvation
from the penalty of sin. In every age of the world’s history there has been,
is, and will be only one gospel; there is only one way of salvation.

As to its basis, salvation is through the
work of Christ on Calvary’s cross (1 Cor.
15:1-4). There the Savior fulfilled all the claims
of divine justice and made it possible for God
to justify sinners in a righteous way and still
be just in doing so. Old Testament believers
were saved through the work of Christ,
though it was still in their future. They did not know much about it, but God
did—and He reckoned the value of Christ’s work to their account (Rom.
3:25). In a sense they were saved “on credit.” We too are saved through the
work of Christ, but in our case the work has already been finished.
