Salvation Poll What is needed/required/necessary for salvation? (Firstly, I request that there be no discussion in response. I do not want to start arguing or create stumbling blocks etc... I simply request any answers be a list with corresponding verse, Thanks.) I am very interested in knowing exactly what the Bible says is needed for salvation. What better way do document this than to multiply my efforts with the talent in this forum. Please feel free to repeat any verses that may have already been quoted, as I will tabulate the results in a week or so. Thank you. |

A poll which only confuses the issue isn’t needed, i.e. human viewpoint. The main crux is, thus says the Word of the Lord. It is often found within the text of Holy writ what is known as a parenthetical phrase or clause. These are not necessary words or phrases as they don’t actually contribute to the truth conveyed by the main subject of the sentence. If we were talking about math, namely fractions, it would be the same as boiling everything down to its most common denominator for a single truth. The simplest fact of salvation is as follows. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. The proof of this is found in actually by observance of the thief on the cross and Christ’s response to him. At the beginning he was in league with the other thief but then he had a change of mind as to the person of the Lord Jesus Christ as he called Him Lord or (KORIOS) in the Koine Greek of the Scripture. Luke 23:42-43 (NASB) 42 And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!" 43 And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." (And he was saying,)as in the previous verse is broken down like this. It's in the indicative mood, imperfect tense, active voice of the verb (ELEGEN) from the root word (LEGO). The indicative mood means reality or certainty, the imperfect tense informs us of something we don’t find in the English translation, i.e. he literally kept on saying, Jesus remember me when You come in Your kingdom, Jesus remember me when You come in Your kingdom, Jesus remember me when You come in Your kingdom, The active voice means that the thief produced the action of the verb. The next question many might ask is this, when did the thief repent? This is, “one of,” the most misunderstood verbs in the Bible. Repent comes to us from the Koine Greek verb (METANOEO) it’s a compound word that means to have a change of thinking or a change of mind and it has absolutely nothing to do with being sorry for sin! God isn’t impressed with how we feel about sin all He considers is what His Son did for those sins. Nothing we can do will ever impress God; the only thing that He is impressed with is the work that Jesus Christ His unique Son finished on the cross for those sins!!! Anything anyone adds to “faith alone” in Jesus Christ “alone” and what He did on the cross is barking up the wrong tree and they better get their eyes off of themselves and get them fixed on the person of God’s Precious Son before it’s too late. God’s policy is strictly by GRACE through FAITH and that is in His Son and nothing at all from us, Jesus did it all, all to Him I owe. This is not open for discussions take it or leave it! I will not respond, CDBJ |

Doctrine is what the Bible says about any given topic. Theology is the study of all the doctrines that the Bible treats. | ||||||

Richard Hooker defined "theology" in English as "the science of things divine It is a scientific study by Men not inspired by God, theology is what humans say about the Bible so no more credibility then a commentary . fmp |

Dear fmp, Interesting. Your responses remind me of an Anabaptist group in the 1500's called Abecedarians. Seriously, though, I wonder that you would cite as your authority an Anglican rationalist scholar for a definition of theology. (That would be highly atypical of a Campbellite.) It would be more effective to accept the definitions of those with whom you are communicating. Unless, of course, what you are trying to do is less attempting to persuade, but resisting persuasion. In Him, Doc |

I used wikipedia for the difinition of theology simply because it is non-basis unlike the web site you quoted. I don't really care what the difinition is because my point is IT WAS WRITTEN BY HUMANS!! and that puts it in the same catagory as a Commmentary. I prefer Doctrine as that is the inspired word of God. And what is your point of trying to label people all the time? Would you like to be labeled ? fmp |

Hi, fmp... Labels were invented by God (Genesis 1:5), even before there were humans. The Bible is full of labels -- in grammar we call them nouns. God uses them. Christ uses them. The Holy Spirit uses them. The Three Persons even use them for one another. The prophets used them. Angels used them. The apostles used them. The church used them for over twenty centuries. God has specifically chosen language as the means of communication, the mechanism by which He has revealed Himself to us. This is why we call the Bible His Word (John 1:1; Hebrews 1:1). If we are to be judged for every idle word we utter (Matthew 12:36); if we are to exhort one another (1 Corinthians 14:31); if we are to correct one another (Proverbs 27:5); if we are to encourage one another (Ephesians 4:29); if we are to overcome by our testimony (Revelation 12:11); why not use language as skillful and as carefully as we are able? Why be afraid of it or disdain it? You said you liked the word doctrine. You even gave it a good definition. Doctrine means instruction. Imagine embracing sound doctrine without labels. Imagine making any sense of the Bible after throwing away the labels. (cf 2 Timothy 4:1-3) Pretty silly, huh? You asked if I would like to be labeled: I hope that I have done so as well as I am able (see my profile). I am a Jewish convert to Christianity -- see all those labels? Before God saved me, I was lost (three more labels). When He saved me, I became a Christian. After a significant amount of Bible study: I am Reformed, a Monergist, a Paleo-Orthodox Calvinist, a Particular (Historic) Baptist. All of these words are labels, and I will happily define them, explain them, use them, own them, and apply them. So I will be careful in the future, when talking to you and Ed at least, to use some other word than theology -- since you will be thinking one thing and I will be thinking another. You will also be able to understand if you read any of my other posts what I mean when I say theology. Cool! Labels are awfully handy things. In Him, Doc |
