1 | You are saved when you accept Christ . | John 3:5 | Chucky1146 | 2568 | ||
I believe that you have to be baptized, but I believe when you accept Christ as Lord you are saved, then it is a command to be baptized. The order is Repent, Accept, and be baptized. 1. Repent- Sorry for your sins, turn in another direction 2.Accept- Ask Jesus to come into your heart,I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. At this point I believe you are saved. If you are not around water you can't be baptized, and if you died at this point you would not go to Hell, but you should get baptized as soon as you can 3.Be Baptized- The third command, but you are all ready saved. |

2 | You are saved when you accept Christ . | John 3:5 | Tab123160 | 2569 | ||
You are right, you must be baptized. It is a sacrament of forgivesness and rebirth. It is not a symbol. You are missing a key scripture verse. (John 3:5) where Jesus states: "Amen,amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and spirit." Jesus is clearly talking about baptism in this verse. Read John 1:32 just before Jesus teaches Nicodemus about being born again. In this verse Christ, Himself was baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus goes down into the water and is baptized, the heavens open and the Holy Spirit descends upon him in the form of a dove. Christ did not have to be born again but He showed us what we must do in order to inherit the kingdom of God. The only logical conclusion one can make from the Biblical evidence is being born again is when one is properly baptized. The saving grace is baptism. Do you really believe in the once saved always saved theory. Again look at scripture. Scripture does not say "ALL" you have to do is accept Me [Jesus] as your Lord and Savior then you are saved from damnation. This is what the Bible says: Past Event (I have been saved) Rom 8:24-for in hope we were saved Eph 2:5,8-by grace you have been saved through faith 2Tim 1:9-he saved us,called us, according to his grace Tit 3:5 he saved us thru bath of rebirth, renewal by Holy Spirit Present Process (I am being saved) Phil 2:12 work out your salvation with fear and trembling 1 Pet 1:9 as you attain the goal of your faith,salvation Future Event (I will be saved) Mt 10:22 he who endures to the end will be saved Mt24:13 he who preseveres to the end will be saved Mk 8:35 whoever loses his life for my sake will save it Acts 15:11 we shall be saved through the grace of Jesus Rom5:9-10 since we are justified, we shall be saved Rom 13:11 salvation is nearer now than first believed 1Cor3:15 he will be saved, but only as through fire 1Cor 5:5 deliver man to Satan so his spirit may be saved Heb9:28 Jesus will appear second time, to bring salvation |

Dear Tab123160: YOUR QUESTION: You write: Do you really believe in the once saved always saved theory? . . . MY ANSWER: Is it possible for redeemed people to lose their salvation? . . . John MacArthur writes: 'The Bible says no. One who is saved "has everlasting life, and . . . is passed from death unto life" (John 5:24). Eternal life by definition cannot be temporary. It is the present possession of all those who have truly trusted Christ. Romans 8:28-39 reveals clearly that there is nothing in the universe that can separate the elect from the love of God. The One who chose to save you "is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy" (Jude 24). . . . According to Scripture, people who profess to know Christ at one time but later deny Him were never really saved to begin with. First John 2:19 says, "They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us." A true believer will never depart from the faith (Philippians 1:6), so those who do so are revealing that they were never truly saved (John 8:31; Hebrews 3:14). . . . Even true Christians can sin, however, and because of that may lack assurance of salvation (Psalm 51:12). A failure to grow spiritually can also rob us of the confidence that we are God's children (2 Peter 1:9). But anyone indwelt by the Holy Spirit is secure eternally, because He is the "deposit guaranteeing our inheritance" (Ephesians 1:14)'. . . . ( Goto www.gty.org/Broadcast.
