Bible Question: I have a question as to how and when a person is saved. What exactly must a person do inorder to be saved? Some people tell me that you must go before the chruch alter and profess Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour. I've also been told that making this profession where 3 or more gather in his name, will also save someone. Also, what about if one was Catholic from birth and went through the various practices of the Catholic religion up until adulthood. Then began practicing another religion. Was that person saved as a Catholic or were they never saved? I find this all very confusing. There is nothing worse than someone calling you a non-Christian when you thought you were. |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Luke 8:10-18 (vs 12), John 3:3-21 (vs 16), Acts 2:21, 2:38, 10:44-48 w/ 11:14, 15:1ff, 16:30-31; Rom 10:8-15a; Eph 2:4-10 ... Acts 10:45 is an example that shows that one doesn't need to say a prayer, or even come forward to be saved. Read the context (10:44-48 w/ 11:14). Read the other passages and see that we do need heart action - belief ... and mouth action - confession. While these are not clear with Cornelius and Company, I believe it happened. Being where 3 or more gather will not save you ... you could even be alone. Note the 2 or 3 gathered together is about church discipline (Matt 18:15ff). Being a Catholic, Baptist ... does not mean you are saved. Answer these questions ... 1) If you were die tonight, would you go to heaven? If yes, then 2) Then when you got to heaven and God were to ask you "Why should I let you into My heaven" ... what would you say? Searcher |
