his_o disciple_n ministry_n though_o it_o be_v a_o save_a faith_n all_o the_o day_n of_o john_n and_o his_o disciple_n ministry_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o save_a faith_n after_o the_o death_n and_o

because_o this_o faith_n that_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o john_n or_o his_o disciple_n in_o the_o time_n of_o paul_n ministry_n will_v not_o save_v they_o because_o they_o deny_v the_o

that_o declare_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o rise_v again_o the_o three_o day_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n 1_o cor._n 15._o 3_o 4._o be_v all_o one_o for_o substance_n as_o some_o of_o the_o learned_a among_o we_o affirm_v then_o be_v we_o find_v false_a witness_n of_o god_n because_o we_o have_v testify_v of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v
