Chart #33 The Conversion of Saul of Tarsus.

A. Why Did the Lord Appear to Saul?
   1. “He is a chosen vessel…” Acts 9:15
   2. “For thou shalt be his witness…” Acts 22:14-15
   3. “To make thee a minister and a witness…” Acts 22:16

B. Why Was Ananias Sent to Saul?
   1. Tell Saul what he “must do” – Acts 9:6; 22:16
   2. “That thou mightest receive thy sight” – Acts 9:17
   3. “And be filled with the Holy Spirit” – Acts 9:17; 
      22:13

C. Eliminate the Miracles and His Conversion Was Like All 
   the Others.
   1. Told what he must do – Acts 9:6; 22:12-16.
   2. Believed – Acts 9:6; 22:12-16.
   3. Repented – Acts 9:6-9.
   4. Baptized – Acts 22:16; 9:18

Chart # 34 If Saul Was Saved When He Saw the Light, Then:

1. He was saved before he knew who Jesus was.
2. Saul did not know it.
3. The Lord did not know it.
4. Ananias did not know it.
5. Saul was the most miserable saved man one ever knew of.
6. Saul was saved while he still had his sins.  Acts 22:16

Chart #35 – Another Look at Saul of Tarsus.

1. He was commanded to be baptized – Acts 22:16.
2. All of God’s commandments are righteousness – Psalms 
   119:172; Romans 1:17.
3. But, those who do righteousness are “Born of God” – 1 John 2:29

Therefore, Saul was not “born of God” until he was 
baptized.
