Subject: Is accepting Christ as my saviour enough |
Bible Note: Hi Firefly, Re: these comments [Another scripture is James 2:14-17 and on.... it talks about Faith without deeds... faith alone is not enough. There is a definite plan of salvation throughout the new testament. If your interested, start reading in Acts, it tells of what happened after Jesus death... it's the account of the first Church and tells what happened when Pentecost came and how baptism (to receive the Holy Spirit) came about (Acts 2:38)... I hope this was helpful...] I like your first paragragh but feel further explaining is needed for 2 and 3. In 2 who's faith are you speaking of that I need to function in that produce the works testifying of that faith? My faith took me to Him now what should happen? Do I need more of my faith? In 3 I'd like you to be more clear about reveiving the Holy Spirit. How do you reconcile Acts 2 with John 20:22 (NASB-U) "And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit...." I believe if you can see the difference here you will see the difference between "just saved" and "entering the kingdom" to begin to experience relationship with God". Check it out see what you think. Ken |
