I answered your question and now you pass on answering mine? This is pretty typical of most people on these forums. You have your pet doctrine and when its challenged you bail. The question I asked is fundamental to everyone’s salvation. I find it interesting that someone who claims to love God wont go down this list and tell me through the scriptures which ones I can omit and still be pleasing to God.
Hear? Paul says you cant believe without hearing. Rom 10:14,15.
Belief? Jn 8:24, Mk 16:16
Confession? Mat 10:32, Rom 10:9,10
Repentance? Try acts 17:30, acts 2:38
Baptism? Try mk 16:16, acts 2:38. Acts 22:16, 1 pet 3:21. Rom 6:3,4
Faithfulness. Rev 2:10. 2 Tim 4:7. Paul said….I kept the faith!
Seems to me that all these are critical components to mans salvation. But i guess it dont matter to you becasue all I guess you have to do is just accept jesus and say some prayer. Where are those scriptures and examples?
Saved is from sin ( from wickedness and selfishness) if we are not selfish we heard that messaqe to go and give all our life away..
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
