Bible Question: Are we being honest with people when we quote John 3:16, telling then that is all thats needed for salvation? In our forum some have said repentence, Baptism, even speaking in tongues is also required for salvation. Are we adding to what Jesus said? |
Bible Answer: Yes we are honest to say that when people believed in Jesus christ it is that all he needs and save. What is John 3:16 is all about. It is the brief explanation of how people be save, but the bible itself explain the details of how "believed" means to us. If we believed in Jesus Christ weare ready to follow His commandments, He said we have to be baptize thenfollow it : Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. He tell us the details of what we are going to do if really believed in Him. It is not true that your being His believer and do nothing. Believed means repentance: 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. And believe means we keep His commandments: Joh 14:15 ΒΆ If ye love me, keep my commandments. and one of His commandments is to baptize all nation: Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Mt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. "and teach them to observed whatsoever I have commanded you" We have to observe whatsoever He commanded the desciples, and the Bible show the detail of all Christ commandments, and you have follow that if you really "BELIEVED" in Him as John 3:16 says. Lastly, "believed means to follow" please always learned from Noah. He believed in God, and he show it by following to build the ark even it took 120 years before the flood came. Noah believed in God, but do you think noah save in the flood if he dont build the ark as the evidence of his believed in God? I dont think so. All those things are contributor to our salvation, some other has gift of speakingin tongue others have different gifts God bless, |
