Understanding The Great Commission

Mark 16:14-18

14Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.

15And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

16He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.

17These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;

18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
