1 | Isn't believing Christ for salvation suf | John 3:3 | Ken hepting | 90959 | ||
Your answer is "NO" Absolutely and positively NO. __Just believing in Christ isn't sufficient for salvation. Oh my. You've got some explaining to do. __Saton himself believes in him. Yet Satan himself most assuredly has not confessed his sins or asked for forgiveness. Satan believes Him alright but salvation is never for him regardless of what he believes. ___Just believing in something dosen't make us a member of that something. Ok. I believe and ask. Hows that? Ok, Georg, I can understand why you say that but upon closer scrutiny lets observe a few things. #1. The woman with the issue of blood, Mk 5.25. This typifies ones salvation where Jesus says to her 'your faith has made you whole'. No where does it say she then followed Jesus. So it can be assumed she receives from Him wholeness/salvation without following afterwards. #2. He who believes and is baptised shall be saved. But what about being "born again"? Scripture again at this juncture makes no distinction. Matt 10..And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Again, no menetion of the born again experience. Now it can also be assumed, rightly or wrongly, that they were born again but the point is no mention of being born again as a requirement for salvation. This we do know: you must be born again to see and enter the kingdom of God. That's certain. Now I wouldn't hold out much hope for one who claims Jesus as his savior WITHOUT claiming Him as Lord but the scripture states that there will be those who are saved 'as by fire' or By the skin of their teeth as I see it. Again salvation is something that doesn't require me to choose to follow but only to accept as a gift then Jesus say's "If any man WILL follow me...." Now we are given a choice. Jn 6.65,66.. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. This all has to do with entering into the Kingdom of God and NOT salvation. Begin to read the scriptures in that light and it will become a new book. Very exciting! |

Jam 2:19 KJV Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Is Jesus not God! Would you say that those spoken of in the verse quoted above have received salvation due to their belief? I make no apologies, nor arguments, for it is in scripture. 1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. There is more to salvation than just believing. KJV Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. One cannot “pick and choose” as you have done, where the word of God is concerned. In its entirety, one can see the whole picture. Zoom in on the picture and you will only see a portion thereof. Read it all, my friend. If you have read and still make the assumption you have posted, you should read again, not just a verse or two. Not even a chapter or two. Perhaps after you have read a book or two, the picture will come together. By then you should be able to see the absurdity of your assumption. If not, there is only prayer left. If what you state were correct, then believing would be a free ticket to the commission of sin. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. George |
