1 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | NewLump | 37615 | ||
I'm trying to understand your position. To be saved one must believe, confess, repent, be baptized and obey God. Is that a fair summarization? | ||||||
2 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | bslinker | 37784 | ||
Yes that is correct. Passages to consider when noting passages concerning salvation. In order: 1. "Hear"(the word): Rom 10:17 2. "Believe": Mark 16:16; Acts 16:31 3. "Confession": Rom 10:10 4. "Repent": Acts 2:38 Luke 13:3,5 5. "Baptize": Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, 1Pet 3:21 Its what is commonly refered to as the "5 Steps to Salvation". But there is actually one step that alot of people forget and that is what is our responsibility as a christian after we do this. I hear the question all the time: "...is that all we have to do?" The answer to that question is "No". Jesus said this in Rev 2:10 "... live faithfully until death, and I will give you the crown of life". So we are told right there that our christian walk doesn't stop after baptism. That is only the start of our new life as a christian, and we are to remain "faithful" for the remainder of our life if we want that "crown of life". I hope this helps, any questions let me know. Thanks! Barry |

Just for the sake of clarification, would you please tell us what you mean by "remain faithful"? Please be as specific as possible and tell us, exactly what does it mean to "remain faithful"? What does that include? Or, at what point does one (what does one have to do to) cease to remain faithful? I am not challenging or disagreeing with you. I just want to be clear on what you are talking about when you say "remain faithful". |
