I'm not sure of the direction you are going with this question, but 'hearing' the Gospel is definitely necessary for salvation. There are some here who believe in a radical form of the Sovereignty of God-which is determinism-where everything, every event, and I mean everything is scripted and played out by God. I can't say for sure how such people will respond to this question, but I suppose they will have to allow that at least 'hearing' is man's part in the salvation process. If not, then to them hearing is just a legal formality as God brings his 'elect' to salvation. Me personally, I believe that the Word is powerful, 'living and active', and does not go out from God without accomplishing its purpose (Is. 55:11). "Thy word is a light unto my path, a lamp unto my feet." David saw the intrinsic power of God's Word, but many who post here see it as having no power until God personally intervenes in the person's life and regenerates first: then, the Word is understandable [according to this view]. To the rest, the unregenerated and unelected, the Word remains undiscernable. This is a good question which can help to clear up some misunderstanding we have about who is a candidate for salvation. Since 'hearing' the Gospel means more than the detection of sound, and implies a degree of understanding, it follows that a small child-that can barely tie his/her shoes and doesn't yet know the right hand from the left-can't be the intended audience of the Gospel message. Jesus said, 'unless you believe that I am he, you shall die in your sins' (Jn.8:24). Since this is true, then one of the following is true: Children are lost in Adam's sin until they reach an age that they can 'hear' and believe (Romans 10:9,10), or, children are without sin and are saved until they reach an age where they can hear and the conscience be pricked to repent; then they can truly turn from sin and follow Christ. Hearing is necessary for salvation. This is why Jesus commanded that the Gospel be preached unto all creation. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be condemned (Mark 16:15,16) Good day. |

We have to clarify what confession is your talking about, is that the confession that the catholic religion was taught (confession to the Catholic priest)If yes then that is wrong. Confession on the priest was use of spaniards invador to capture our guerilla that seek freedom from them. Here in the Philippines at the time catholic priest was reported to the Spaniards soldier all about th confession of the wifes of the guerilla. If the wifes of the guerilla confessed to the priest that thier husband was a guerilla, it is the priest who reported to the spanish soldier so many of our guerilla captured. This is the big cause why it took 330 years before we won our freedom. But if your talking about if we have to confess our sins to God yes, we have to confess 1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God bless, |

I dont understand why you post that verse to me. I know that verse, anyway so? If you try to argue that verse with my statement that the confession to priest is wrong, thatt verse is different "confess your sin to one another" not confess your sin to the priest. Did your priest confess his sin to you? God bless, |
