Dear Friend:

Welcome to the Heritage Baptist Church SPACE program.S. P. A. C. E.

Spiritual Parents and Childrens Education

This series of study programs, referred to as the S.P.A.C.E. program, was taken from the

study material originally written by Michael J. Smith, Pastor of the Liberty Baptist Temple. We

gratefully acknowledge the fact that we were given permission to reproduce and to customize thematerial for Heritage Baptist Church and to make it our study material as well..

This booklet is the beginning of your training to have the strong, stable, mature Christian

family and life you desire. Out of a burdened heart and born through prayer we have developed

the SPACE program for you and your family. Even if you are a single parent or a single adult itis designed for all.

Read Deut. 6: 4-9. It says for spiritual parents teach their children the word of God.

H.B.C.s S.P.A.C.E. program is to help you do just that. In the process you will grow by the

sincere milk of God's Word, and learn to feed yourself to become the family and Christian youwant to be.

It is never too early or too late to start building blocks for spiritual education for theChristian home.

We want to do everything possible to make your family and Christian life a productive

and helpful one. May your familys talents and love, blended with what is already here,

strengthen God's work. We shall all rejoice together.

Sincerely in Christ

Dear Friend,

Welcome to the Heritage Baptist Church S.P.A.C.E. program.

S.P.A.C.E.

Spiritual Parents And Childrens Education

The Heritage Baptist Churchs S.P.A.C.E. program was designed for the purpose in mind

to grow strong, mature and spirit-filled Christians and create unity in and among the church

family.

3


4/37

To grow strong, mature and spirit-filled Christians just doesnt happen by chance, it must

be done with a plan such as the H.B.C. S.P.A.C.E. program. Heritage Baptist Churchs planned

program is to get its people into the Word of God. The Word of God is the only way to growmature Christians.

We feel that Heritage Baptist Church needs this kind of people to carry out the will ofGod to win the lost to Christ and to build up and equip the saints.

To have unity in and among the church we here at H.B.C. believe that all must follow theplanned program of the church. If a person is unwilling to do or complete the Stage that is

required of him to be in the position they desire, then we feel it is a sure sign of unwillingness to

follow the leadership and the churchs plan to help create unity among the brethren. So,

therefore, they will not be permitted to stay in that position.

To accomplish these two goals we request all workers of H.B.C. complete the Stage

that is required of them to be in their position.

Below is a chart that will allow you to see how far you can go as a worker in H.B.C. by

the completion of each stage.

Lesson 1

Since I Received Christ

"Since I received Christ as my Savior, I have changes in my life: I notice a change in

my desire, ambitions and convictions. This, we trust, is your testimony too. Now whathas happened is that another person has come into your life. (Revelation 3:20). When Christ

came in he performed a miracle in your life. Let us look in the Bible to see about this.

This lesson has been prepared in question form because our desire is for you to see thatthese things are in the Bible, God's Word and are not merely the invention of men.

A MIRACLE

A. 1. What are you or who are you, now that you have received Christ? John 1:12

2. Now that you are in Christ, what has God made out of you? II Corin. 5:17

3. What does the Bible call this change? John 3:3

4. By what other name does the Bible speak of it? Romans 10:9


10/37

Lesson 1 (contd)

A PERSON

B. 1. Were you saved by good works? Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5

2. Who paid for your sins? I Peter 2:21-24

3. What was the price he had to pay? I Peter 1:18-19

4. What did you have to do to be saved? Acts 16:31

5. What did you receive when you believed? Acts 10:43.

6. How did you tell God that you believed? Romans 10:13

7. Along with this, what two things did you do? Romans 10:9-10

8. What is the gift that the Father has given you through Christ? Romans 6:23

9. What do you have then? Romans 6:23, John 5:24

10. Since the word "hath" (has) in John 5:24 is present tense, when do you haveeverlasting life? John 5:24

Yes, a miracle has happened to you because you have received a Divine Person into yourlife. You now have eternal life from God as his gift to you for receiving his Son. As a result, you

are happy, you have found new love, joy and peace. Perhaps you now wonder how long this will

last. Suppose you should lose your joy -- would that mean you had lost your salvation? Thismatter we shall study in the next lesson.

Lesson 2


Assurance

At the conclusion of the last lesson we asked the question as to whether you could lose

the joy you experienced when you were saved, and if so, whether this would mean that you had

lost your salvation.

As was stated in the first lesson, you received salvation through a Person, the Lord Jesus

Christ.

A. 1. Who is Jesus Christ? John 20:31

2. How were you justified? Galatians 2:16

3. a. What kind of life do you now have? John 10:27-28

b. How long is it? John 10:27-28

4. Can you know that you have eternal life? I John 5:13

5. Can God lie? Titus 1:2

6. Who has made God a liar? I John 5:10

7. How has this person made God a liar? I John 5:10

8. What is this record that God has given to us of his Son? I John 5:11

9. What do you have then? I John 5:13

10. Do you, then, truly know that you are saved? I John 5:10-13

You have seen now that your salvation is eternal. But suppose you lose the joy that

accompanied your salvation -- what then? Your salvation is based on Christs death, GodsWord and his faithfulness. These are changeless. The joy of salvation, however, is based upon

your obedience to your Lord and so may fluctuate.


13/37

Lesson 2 (contd)

B. 1. When you received the Lord Jesus, he gave you a gift. What was the gift? Acts 2:38

7. How can we glorify Christ? John 15:16

8. What is the fruit of the Spirit? Galatians 5:22-23

9. What did Andrew do as soon as he accepted Jesus as Savior? John 1:40-42

10. For what purpose did Jesus come? Luke 19:10

Obedience, then, is what brings joy. Obedience allows the Holy Spirit to produce hisfruits in our lives, and results in the great fruit of souls - the bringing of others unto Jesus for

salvation. Andrew brought his brother Simon to Jesus. Philip brought Nathaniel (John 1:45-51).

Bringing others to Jesus for salvation is our joyous privilege too. Obedience to your Lord iswhat will keep the joy bubbling in your soul.

So, for fullness of joy and true peace, we must read our Bibles daily, come daily to theLord in prayer and daily witness unto others of what Jesus Christ has done for us.

Suppose I am tempted to do wrong - is this natural? How shall I combat temptation?What is the solution to this problem? The next lesson will deal with this.

be a happy Christian until you satisfy that desire. That can only be done through the reading of

The Bible was written to reveal to us the story of redemption and the main person ofredemption is Jesus Christ. The Bible was thus written around a person. The Old Testament

tells about his coming to bring redemption. It gives prophesies and pictures of his coming

the first time and types. The New Testament tells how he came, died, and how he today isgathering a group of believers for himself, that he is coming again to take them home to heaven

to be with him, and how he is going to put down all sin. He is portrayed as the King of kings and

Lord of lords.

Lesson 11


The Church and The Two Ordinances

Since I received Christ I am interested in being with other Christians. God's word says in

Hebrews 10:25 "not_________ the __________ of ourselves _____________ as the manner ofsome is; but _____________ day approaching." As you study this lesson, pause again and ask

the Lord to teach you from his word and help you obey with joy as he directs.

THE CHURCH AND THE TWO SCRIPTURAL ORDINANCES

A. The Church

1. Meaning of the word "CHURCH" - the called out (those whom God has called outfrom a perishing world to belong eternally to himself).

2. The two uses of the word in the New Testament:

a. The universal, mystical body of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23) made up of allbelievers of every color, nation, language and denomination.

b. The visible counterpart of this is the local church or assembly, made up ofbaptized believers. This is the "church" most frequently referred to in the

New Testament.

3. The ______________ Churcha. A local assembly of believers.

b. Doctrinal statement set forth in Church Manual which has scriptural

references for every doctrine.c. Method of joining - by giving evidence of having received Christ and

being baptized the Scriptural way.

B. The Ordinance of Baptism

1. Meaning of the New Testament word "Baptize" - to immerse.

2. Its meaning - an outward, visible symbol of an inner spiritual experience which

happened when we received Christ as Savior. Its the experience which happened

when we received Christ as Savior. It stands for our death, burial and resurrectioninto newness of life with our Savior in his death, burial and resurrection. Romans

6:1-5.

3. Therefore only for believers and not for children who have not yet received

Christ. The Scriptural order is believe and be baptized" (Mark 16:16) and we

dare not change this divinely-made order.


35/37

Lesson 11 (contd)

4. The scriptural method -- immersiona. Because of meaning of the word, above.

b. Because it alone is true to its symbolic meaning of death, burial, and

resurrection with Christ.c. Because every New Testament instance where there is any indication of

the method used, it is immersion. Mark 1:9 "..in the Jordan.." should be

translated into the Jordan, for the Greek word "ois" or "into" is used andnot "en or "in". John 3:23 "..much water.." is needed only for

immersion. Acts 8:38 "..and they went down both into the water.."

d. Because, historically, the use of sprinkling was introduced in usage among

Christians only as the Romish doctrine that baptism was essential tosalvation crept into the churches. Prior to that, immersion was the only

method used.

5. Baptism in the Scriptures.a. Where was the Lord Jesus baptized? Matthew 3:13-17

b. In Acts 2:41 "They that __________ ________ ______________________ were baptized.

c. What did Phillip say to the Eunuch in answer to his question? What doth

hinder me from being baptized? Acts 8:36-38

NOTE: verse 38 and they went _________ both _________ the water.

d. Was the Apostle Paul baptized? Acts 9:18e. Was Lydia Baptized after the Lord opened her heart? Acts 16: 14 - 15.

f. The Philippians jailor r_______d after he was baptized. Acts 16: 33-34.

6. Every Christian, in order to be obedient to Christ, should be baptized (Matthew 28: 18-19).


36/37

Lesson 11 (contd)

C. The Ordinance of the Lord's Supper

1. Read I Corinthians 11:23-26.

2. Symbolism of the elements:

a. Broken bread typifies Christ's body broken for us on the cross.

b. Cup stands for his shed blood by which we have remission of sins.

3. Meaning of the ordinance - our "eating" (partaking by faith of) the saving merits of Christ's

broken body and shed blood.

4. Three-fold preparation for participating:

a. Be saved.

b. Confess all known sins to the Lord before taking part in the service.
