    When Dr. Roberson finished giving the SS material above I asked him what he would do differently or emphasize more if he could go back in time and do it all over again. He told me that he would emphasize salvation through the blood of Christ more. He stated that most people don't really know what they believe concerning salvation. - Bro. Mays
