Because everyone loves a snappy and finely crafted sermon heading.
Acts 19vv1-22 show us three responses to the gospel, two of which are lacking proper faith in Jesus and one which expresses it.
(1) The sincere
ignorance of twelve disciples of John the Baptist who haven’t heard
about Jesus show us the need for accurate teaching about Jesus and faith in him
(vv1-7)
(2) The corrupt magic
of the seven sons of Sceva who fail by trying to use the name of Jesus
for their own ends shows us the need for genuine commitment to Jesus (vv13-17)
(3) The costly
repentance of many who believe in Jesus and publicly change for fear of
his name shows us the radical difference faith in Jesus makes (vv18-20)
