New Converts
Luk 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy
in the presence of the angels of God over one
sinner that repents.
Fellowship
Heb 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the
Day approaching.
Exhort = (Grk) call near / comfort /
encourage
Act 2:42 And they were continuing steadfastly in the
apostles' doctrine, and in fellowship and in the breaking of
the loaves, and in prayers.
Prayer
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God: Eph 6:18 with all prayer and
supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for
all the saints …
Loneliness
Rom 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine
altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the
image of Baal.
Joh 16:32 Behold, the hour comes, yea, has now come, that you will be
scattered, each man to his own things, and you will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the
Father is with Me. Joh 16:33 I have spoken these
things to you so that you might have peace in Me. In the world you shall
have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.
Rom 15:4 For whatever things were written
before were written for our learning, so that we through patience and
comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
2Ti 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to
Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 2Ti 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with
thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

Feeling of Helplessness – God given / God
empowered
Psa 46:1 <For the Chief Musician: a Psalm of the
sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song.> God is our refuge and strength, a
very present help in trouble.
Persecution
Rev 2:10 Do not at all fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the Devil will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be
tried. And you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful to death, and
I will give you the crown of life.
Marriage for new converts
1Co 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband
liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be
married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Amo 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be
agreed?
2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2Co 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with
an infidel? 2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the
living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Finding a spouse???
Gen 24:12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master
Abraham. Gen 24:13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of
the men of the city come out to draw water: Gen 24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say,
Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast
shewed kindness unto my master. Gen 24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,
behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Gen 24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher,
and came up.
1Co 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put
her away. 1Co 7:13 And the woman which hath an
husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife
is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
1Co 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not
under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
1Co 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou
shalt save thy wife? 1Co 7:17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all
churches.
Take responsibility for
preaching / baptism
2Ti 2:2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses,
commit the same to faithful men who will be able to teach
others also.
Baptism and Teaching
Mar 16:15 And He said to them, Go into all the world, proclaim the
gospel to all the creation. Mar 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he
who does not believe will be condemned.
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the calling with which you
are called, Eph 4:2 with all lowliness and meekness, with long-
suffering, forbearing one another in love, Eph 4:3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in
the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, even as you
are called in one hope of your calling, Eph 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in you all.
Eph 4:7 But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph 4:8 Therefore He says, "When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men."
Eph 4:9 (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts
of the earth? Eph 4:10 He who descended is the same also as He who ascended up far above all heavens,
that He might fill all things.) Eph 4:11 And truly He gave some to be
apostles, and some to be prophets, and some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and
teachers, Eph 4:12 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body
of Christ.
Eph 4:13 And this until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-
grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
Eph 4:14 so that we no longer may be infants, tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine, in the dishonesty of men, in cunning craftiness, to the
wiles of deceit. Eph 4:15 But that you, speaking the truth in love, may
in all things grow up to Him who is the Head, even Christ;
Eph 4:16 from whom the whole body, fitted together and compacted by that which every joint supplies,
according to the effectual working in the measure of each part, producing the growth of the body to the
edifying of itself in love.
Self baptism / over phone
Heb 12:1 Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which
so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set
before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne
of God.
Heb 12:3 For consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against
Himself, lest you be weary and faint in your minds.
Heb 12:4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Heb 12:5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to
sons, "My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you
are rebuked by Him …
Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall
prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in
judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the
servants of the LORD, and their righteousness which is of me,
saith the LORD.
