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: Plain and simple, a person must come before Christ, confess that they are a sinner who needs Christ, ask Christ to take over the leadership of his or her life, and follow Christ. It doesn't matter where you are when you do this...it's just about you and the Lord. No religion, regardless of how devout you are, will get you saved. It's about the relationship that you PERSONALLY choose to have with Christ. |
