Is a pew potato a genuine Christian?
Imagine you're about to die of cancer. Suddenly a doctor appears with a bottle of syrup and puts a spoonful into your mouth. You swallow, are healed, and call Him "Lord," who then hands you the bottle and tells you to go and offer it to your neighbors who are dying of cancer. If the doctor returns a week later and finds the level of syrup unchanged in the bottle and that you haven't offered it to anyone, He will conclude that you either don't believe that you were saved by what He gave you, or that He isn't your "Lord," who is someone obeyed.

"How can I pass forward what I received?"
If you were in a Bible study that someone else organized, organize one of your own, invite your friends, colleagues, neighbors, and do for them what someone has done for you. Link your favorite pages of the study on your social media, blog or website. If you to speak another language, translate the study for your people, as a volunteering Chinese Christian already has done for the Chinese.

"What if I don't yet know or believe the Gospel?"
Cry out to Jesus to open your heart, eyes and ears so that you will be among those who "see with their eyes and hear with their ears ... understand with their hearts and turn" (Acts 28:27) to Him, and then study the Gospel of John.

"I have finished the study on Acts and have a comment or suggestion."
