This is taken from the June 9, 1986 edition of A Christian Review, published by the Mentor Church of Christ in Mentor, Ohio.
If one can be saved without faith, why did Paul say it was impossible to please God without it? (Hebrews 11:6)
If faith comes in answer to prayer, why are we told that faith comes by hearing the word of God? (Romans 10:17)
If "faith only" is a most wholesome doctrine and very full of comfort, why did James say we are not justified by faith only? (James 2:24)
If God has promised to save man regardless of the kind of faith he has, why did Paul make it so plain that there is only ONE faith? (Ephesians 4:5)
If one becomes a Christian they very moment he believes, why was not King Agrippa a Christian? (Acts 26:27)
If one can be saved without obedience, why did Paul say that Christ is to take vengeance on them that obey not the gospel? (II Thessalonians 1:8)
If the Lord has promised salvation without baptism, why did Peter say, "Baptism doth also NOW SAVE US...? (I Peter 3:20-21)
If sprinkling and pouring are scriptural modes of baptism, why did Paul say that baptism is a burial? (Romans 6:3-4; Colossians 2:12; Acts 8:38)
If God has promised salvation out of the church, why did Christ die for it? (Acts 20:28; Ephesians 5:25-27)
