The Ark is God's covenant with the Jews and Gentiles of this world. Salvation and everlasting life is available to those that put their trust in him. The New Testament is the compiled transcripts of eight witnesses that either walked with Jesus, were brothers of or recruited by him. These witnesses state to use two or three witnesses to establish God's word. God's word is presented in the contract given in the New Testament for the Jew and Gentile. You must use this contract to establish the basics of your belief in Jesus Christ. It is clear that God wanted you to use his word to gain wisdom. God wants you to study his word to grow in grace, knowledge and righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The scripture is not open to private interpretation. A deceiver can't use God's words to impose their own interpretation of the verse for false doctrine, to control man or introduce a religious law or belief that God supposedly wants you to follow. The preponderance of evidence standard must be used to study and establish your life with God. Use all eight witnesses, to establish God's doctrine. Through these eight witnesses the truth about water baptism, Once saved always saved, salvation and the Rapture is revealed.
