1 | Christians? | Matt 7:21 | lionheart | 187315 | ||
Asis, One is saved at the time they receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. I think there are many that over simplify salvation. There are many that teach a cheap grace and cheap it's not. That's where we really have to rely on God's Word and what it says. 2 Timothy 2:15 is a bedrock scripture for all of us. The bible is clear on what God requires. It is simple,but specific. Acts 2:38 repentance is a key part of salvation. Without it one is dead in the water. It's not for me to question anyone's salvation,but God's Word must be the standard for all our believing. The question arises for all who desire to walk with God,are we willing to do it God's way and not be bound sentimentality or tradition. Are we will to conform our beleiving to what God's Word says. Please keep in touch. In Him, lionheart |

I agree with you whole heartedly. One of the bedrock scriptures that every believer must believe is Numbers 23:19. If we believe this scripture it establishes all that God has said. therefore if He said it it is true. As God through His word renews my thinking my thoughts are His thoughts and my ways are His ways. We call this obedience to God's word. What we forget is that this book is written with eastern thought. To find the definition of words used by God in his word we should not use Webster's dictionary. The Hebrews define "repent" as turning to God's way. When I do something in my own way the Holy Spirit convicts me of doing it my way instead of God's way. As a disciple of Christ my desire is to choose always to do it God's way and therefore I repent and turn back to God's way. That is what Peter was telling those who asked "what shall we do to be saved". Peter said turn to God and be saved. Romans 10:8-13 lays down the criteria for salvation. This cannot occur if we are thinking the world's way. We must repent and choose to live God's way. In Him Asis |
