Grace and Truth: What do you believe is the plan of salvation? Do you believe that you MUST be baptized AND saved to get to heaven? |

2 | Ques. for Grace andTruth | Romans | SSprln | 51454 | ||
The Plan of Salvation goes something like this: (1) Realize you're a sinner. Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (2) Know that the penalty for sin is death. Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." (3) Understand that Christ died and rose again for you. Romans 5:28 says "And God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (4) You can be saved through faith in Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 says "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast." (5) Saying a prayer doesn't save anyone, but it is a vital part of accepting Christ as your saviour. You need to tell Him that you realize you're a sinner, and that He died and rose again to take your sin away. Ask Him for His forgiveness, and tell Him that you want to live for Him. |

Your statement in 1,2,3. I agree with, but your understanding of 4, when you and those who believe like you are saying that this verse excludes what Jesus told his apostles to tell the world to do in Mark 16:16, I believe you are wrong. Then 5, nowhere in the new testament has this been told to anyone, 5 is a man made doctrine, no scripture for it in the new testament: but it is taught as if Jesus said it himself. I notice also none of you who believe the (faith only) doctrine would use the book of James to justify your theory. | ||||||

Hello Grace and Truth "I notice also none of you who believe the (faith only) doctrine would use the book of James to justify your theory." I would not use Philemon either. They are not applicable. The context of James is that the person who claims to have faith or believe on Christ needs to prove it by the demonstration of good works. Salvation is considered to be a thing already accompished in the lives of the epistle's recipients. Steve |

Astute observation, Steve, and a testament to the absolute necessity of 'rightly dividing the word of truth' as it says in 2 Tim. 2:15 and the follow-up in the next verses: "But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer." --Hank | ||||||
