This is the last part of the evangelistic pamphlet for Muslims. Part one was published March 1, and part two was published on October 18. Get equipped to evangelize Muslims. You will need boldness, though, because some will be very angry with the content of part 3 (and the end of part 2). I have had credible threats of serious bodily injury or death for passing these out when in crowds of Muslims–it was more dangerous than evangelizing at the sodomite pride parade in San Francisco. However, “every creature” means what it says, and that includes Muslims, and God can protect you (He has protected me).

Truth, what is it?
The definition of 'truth' is 'opposite of error'. Truth means it is conformable to fact. It is correct.
Truth in action, is when the human conscience agrees with the intellect. Truth is 'ONE'. There can be only one truth, (John 17:17-23).
17 Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.
18 As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.
19 And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.
20 "I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
21 so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one,
23 I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me.
Any variation in the one truth is not truth at all, but error.
So how do you test for the truth? I have already given you the answer in the first paragraph. You have to look for error, and you have to see if the truth is conformable to fact. Here are some guidelines. Consult your conscience as you follow these pointers…
1. Have you felt uncomfortable (conscience speaking) with some Bible verses that do not seem to conform to the teaching of your Church? All of Scripture is harmonious and it all should fit together like a giant picture puzzle.
2. When you do question some teaching, do you get definitive answers every time?
3. Do you get meaningless or nebulous answers that don't make sense?
4. Are you absolutely sure that you are in the Church that Jesus Christ founded? He only founded 'A' Church in Mathew 16:18. That verse does not say 'Churches'. I am reminded of 1 Cornthians 10:12, "Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall."
5. There are over 33,800 different Christian sects in the world today. How can you be sure you have chosen the right one?
6. Remember, 'TRUTH IS ONE', so how can there possibly be 33,800 different Christian Churches, all teaching that ONE TRUTH?
7. If all those Churches taught the same truth, then there would not be 33,800, but only one. What does an examination of conscience say now?
8. That means there have to be 33,799 Churches teaching error. If that is the case, then there are 33,799 Churches on the 'wide path' and only one on the 'narrow'. I don't like those gambling odds of 1 in 33,800. Does that bother your conscience?
9. Most all Churches claim to be the Church of truth. Who do you believe? Which one is right? Which Church does the Bible say is the Church of truth?
10. The Church of truth is spelled out in the Bible. It is the only Church that was given the authority, the one in whom the Holy Spirit dwells forever, John 14:15-17.
11. "But he who does the truth comes to the light that his deeds may be made manifest, for they have been performed in GOD", John 3:21. This verse says it all.
12. If you haven't found truth then you haven't found GOD.
Michael,
I'm not sure why you post your comment here, because the topic is dealing with the Quran, not which church is the "one" true church.
I went to your web site to try to figure out what you where talking about and discovered that you are Catholic, thus the "truth" of what you speak, is the Catholic church.
Dr. Kent has spoken about the universal church vs local church in the past and you may wish to look at some of his previous posts on this matter. Once you understand the Independent Baptists' point of view, you will be better able to discuss this topic when Pastor Kent brings it up.
Dear Mr. Gormley,
Thanks for the comment. I agree with you that if you haven't found the truth, you haven't found God. I rejoice that I have found the truth, Jesus Christ Himself, John 14:6, who has revealed Himself through HIs Word, which is truth, John 17:17. I am also very happy that I am part of one of His true churches, and I have no problem at all in my conscience of being part of the one of which I am a member. I agree that all churches other than the kind Jesus Christ started are false.
Since you, as you affirm, want to follow the truth, please read the short pamphlet "Bible Truths for Catholic Friends" at:
http://sites.google.com/site/faithalonesaves/salvation
(note-no "www" at the front). If you are a sincere seeker for truth, you should read it with an open heart, carefully pondering the verses mentioned. I will be happy to respond to you if you go ahead and read it carefully. Thanks. You can know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
