41 | Must we be baptized to be saved? | John 3:22 | jbw | 82217 | ||
Salvation is a gift from God, you didn't have to work for it. It was and still is a gift. Unless I'm not understanding your question. Baptism is not a prerequisite for salvation. | ||||||
42 | Must we be baptized to be saved? | John 3:22 | jbw | 82200 | ||
Baptism is symbolic only to the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's a outward showing of an inward going. Baptism only says that you have put away the old man (old ways, old habits) and have come up a new creature in Christ. (outwardly that's what baptism represent).The thief on the Cross was never baptized and the Lord Jesus said this day you will be with me in paradise and I'm sure that is where he is to this day. So not being baptized will not keep you out of heaven. But if you are a follower of Christ wouln't want to do what He did? | ||||||
43 | Can you loose your salvation? | OT general | jbw | 82171 | ||
Ephesians 2 verse 8 reads as follows: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God. I think this is one of the most controversial questions of all times. The Lord gives gifts without repentance. Salvation is a gift from God. While a person is in the womb they are given innate abilites from God. It is there's whether they choose to use them or not. I believe that the Gift of God which is salvation is the same. I am a singer that is my innately gift from birth. I don't sing in a choir and I don't much of anything with my gift these days. But when I hear my favorite song come on. Trust me I can pull notes from heaven and I actually bellow the song out. The word even states that we are ingrafted into the Lord hands and that no man can pluck us out. The Lord Jesus said that He and His father would come in and make there abode in us. Lastly the word often reminds us of that we are the temple of the Holy Ghost. I believe that a saved person can fall into sin and yes wallow in it and still be saved. I BELEIVE THAT. I also believe that in your sin if you constantly ask the Lord to forgive you of that sin. He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness in the way that would bring him all the glory. The bible talks of a man having a 100 sheep and loosing one with the man going back for that one. Now in my mind I would leave the one because I have 99 and I know that they would eventually reproduce and bring me maybe even a trillion more. But thank the Lord for Jesus and His thoughts not being like ours. He goes after that one as if he were the only one on the earth. Isn't that wonderful!!!!! I believe that the enemy tricks people into thinking that they have committed a sin that the Lord cannot forgive. And God forbid if you find yourself in a sin that's hard to shake (like sex or whatever your weakness is because everybody has one)and you find yourself wallowing in it. You oftentimes would say forget it the Lord will not hear or forgive this. But I'm here to tell you that if you continue to tell it to Jesus each time you are in whatever it might be. Continue to confess that sin/act to God and He will cleanse you from that sin and all unrighteousness. Just remember to keep telling it to the Lord because He is faithful and just to forgive and wash us thoroughly..remember to say at the cross with it..with your sin...So I believe that nothing shall separate me from the Love of God, not tribulation, persecution, distress, peril, famine....No you cannot loose your salvation....But you will be judge for what you have done in this body once excepting him....this is just my thoughts.... | ||||||
