And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16He who has believed [in Me] and has been baptized will be saved [from the penalty of God’s wrath and judgment]; but he who has not believed will be condemned. 17These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues;
