Im sure that you are familiar with this phrase...........""that's a FAIL"".
A "Fail".
as in, >total failure, with no hope of recovery<.
So, lets look at some Salvation "fails".
I know that some of you here are really interested in studying the word of God and are open minded and actually enjoy learning more bible doctrine as an excellent means of evolving within your already developed scriptural perspective.
So, first of all......let me give you the best point of view about Salvation.
That is....give all the credit regarding salvation to God and Jesus, and never to anything else, ever.
And you say...."well everyone does"......
However the reality is, you'd be surprised to find that God and His Son are often being set aside, overlooked, and even ignored, on Christian Forums, in Churches, and all in favor of all types of Salvation "fails".
So, to understand the "fail" we need to recognize the real deal, as it by knowing the Truth that the untruths fall by the way side.
Therefore simply stated.....>Salvation<... is God saving you, using His Son's blood and a Cross to recreate you as righteous, to justify you, to sanctify you, to redeem you, to adopt you, and to give you eternal life.......all for FREE.....and when this happens to you, you are born again in that instant.
So, all those words, ARE a part of Salvation, and Salvation is what God DID FOR you, through Jesus on a Cross, and He offers ALL OF THIS, as a FREE GIFT.....Its all Free., having been paid for by the Blood of Christ.

So do you see the gift of Salvation?

1. Righteousness
2. Justification
3. Sanctification
4.. Redemption
5.. Adoption
6. Eternal Life

See those 6?....they are all " Salvation", yet each has a different aspect, but each is a part of the whole of Salvation.
Paul said...."we preach Christ crucified" as the Gospel..... 1st Corinthians 1:23, 1st Corinthians 15:3,4, and Paul tells you that he "received" this Gospel, and this is because Jesus gave him this Gospel, as Paul was to become the "gentile apostle". Romans 11:13.
Paul said..."Jesus didnt send me to baptize, but rather to preach the word....1st Corin 1:17
Now, he says this, not because he didnt baptize new converts, but rather to distinguish the difference, so that we are not confused and try to associate them as the same thing, as they are not.
They are not.... as one is The Gospel that you hear, that you believe, and then if you do, you are born again, and THEN you are baptized in water......So, Paul is making a distinction that is so so very important to comprehend, as if you dont, you can easily become a victim of a deception regarding what saves you , that i'll write about later.
So, what is a Salvation Fail?
Well, its very simple,...its anything that a person by faith substitutes for Jesus, the Blood atonement, or the Cross, as the ONLY means that GOD uses to SAVE you.
Now, if any of you are wondering what the Devil is up to these last days, well, he's up to the same thing he has been doing since The Cross was raised and Jesus was nailed on it for your sins.
Lucifer is trying to deceive YOU by confusion, as that is his game., and his best game he plays to steal a lot of souls is to create "another Gospel" Galatians 1:8, that seems like its right and true, because its cloaked in Christian terminology and more so, it appeals to the flesh, to the self righteousness in a person....so, it both feels right and is dressed up in "Bible speak", and that is why it has such power to deceive.
See, the devil comes as an "Angel of Light", and that means he comes and offers what seems to be the truth, looks like the truth, because Satan blends lies and truth in a very clever way that seems both correct and honest, until you expose it against the real Gospel Truth.

"truth and untruth went swimming..... and when truth's back was turned, untruth stole truth's clothes...
Now, today, untruth goes about in truth's clothes, while Truth goes about as the NAKED Truth".

please continue to Part II.....a separate thread.
