Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 10:9-10: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Thank you for your clear explanation of the way of salvation using key versus of scripture that the Holy Spirit can use in the heart of the listener. I try to leave scripture in the comment sections, hoping and praying that others would read and trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Following is an example: [WHY WE NEED A SAVIOR: Rom. 3:10-28 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things so ever the law says, it says to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Rom. 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:] I paste this in comment sections of many videos that I would not listen to or watch (put them on pause). I believe other Christians could do the same! Again, thank you.

He got the gospel exactly right. Should emphasize the timing..At the very moment we believe we are saved . At the very beginning of our Christian walk . Before and spiritual Growth, or any fruit baring, or obedience to commands of Christ ..They all play a part in the Christian way of life but not for salvation.

[stefangonzo]

Hello fellow believers, a Mormon here. I know many believe we are not Christian because of our doctrine. But if you seek to understand God's "Plan of Salvation", at least be aware of ours... it answers all the contradictions inherent in this one. (As evidenced by the comments)

It is the answer to Entropy.

Romans 6:3-4
[3]Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
[4]Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Rejecting sin has nothing to do with receiving the free gift of eternal life. Acts 16:31. Works nullifies grace. Romans 4:5-8. Romans 3:26-28. Romans 11:6. Faith is not a work. Adding to the gospel of grace makes the GIFT of God of no effect. The GIFT of God is eternal life. Paid in full by the GIVER.

John 3:18. Forgiveness of all sin. Colossians 2:13. No longer condemned. John 3:18. Saved forever. John 10:28-29. Hebrews 13:5. Ephesians 1:13-14. First John 1:8. If we say we have no sin, we are deceived and the truth is not in us. Galatians 2:21. Galatians 3. Galatians 1:6-9.

Christ wants to save us, and yet he prays to the Father asking Him, if He will, to free Him from this cup. But Christ, instead of His will obeys the Father, otherwise there would have been no Cross!
Mary has an important role in conceiving Jesus, through the Holy Spirit. And man? What important role does he play in Salvation?
Sorry, but this puzzle is missing a lot of pieces (that's why it looks confusing and paradoxical).

So just believe? What about baptism brother?

[stephenarmey]

You got to think this way... IF you condemn the righteous and forgive the sins of the wicked then you have committed an abomination to Elohim. Pro 17:15  He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to Yahovah. AND Exo 23:7  Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. TO justify murder is against the word of Elohim. CHristians worship the messenger greater than the one that sent him. Thus the message that he taught was to be like him and obey the Torah "Instructions for life". But they reject it to gain the instructions for death. This is very sad that the deception is so clean, they might as well be the servants of Baal to teach such non-sense! If you abide in my love then keep the Commandments of the Father>Jn.15:10

[djaconetta]

Yes we all do sin, but our personal sin don't condemn us. It is Adam's sin that condemns us..Thanks to Adam, we are all born with original sin of Adam and a sin nature., because we all sinned when Adam sinned. WE are all born physically alive, but spiritually dead. Because of this, we have no ability to enter into a relationship with God, further, we are totally separated from God, and condemned by God and worst of all totally inability to do anything about it. WE are spiritually Brain DEAd of the things of God. It is because of these things that we sin. That is were the GRace of God comes in. Knowing this from eternity past, he made provision for it. God the Holy Spirit take that mustard seed of faith and makes it effective for our salvation at the moment of faith and faith Alone.

If it were possible to never sin we as people would still NEED to be saved. Why is that pray tell? Good question. Cuz in our unregenerate state we are nothing more than piles of stench filled trash to a sovereign and holy God. To really be saved we MUST OBEY ALL THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS. Claiming to have faith but showing NO OBEDIENCE is a one way train ride to hell. Everything Jesus taught in Matthew 5, 6 and 7 is to be OBEYED. None of it is any fun. In fact it's depressing. You MUST forgive those who battered and abused or your not forgiven. It's a long list and they're hard to obey love your enemy give away your coat don't look at a woman. Your half way to hell if call someone a fool. This way way deeper than believing and accepting. Obedience is the train to the Kingdom but the tickets are really expensive.

Acts 16.31 believe in the Lord the ....accept Jesus....easy belief group....

I´m sorry but you only know 50% of the plan of Salvation!

[quakers]

Think about it, how is it justice for someone else to pay the price for some sin he, Jesus, did not commit? Then we have always to consider Jesus and God are one that ties everything into impossible knots. Jesus gets baptized and a voice says something like in you I am much pleased. Is Jesus pleased with himself. Satan tempts Jesus in the wilderness but this is beyond insane as he can in no way be tempted. There is nothing God needs. Satan has no clue. Even daemons recognize Jesus. The wages of sin are death. God made this rule but apparently wanted to modify the rule a little because he saw that the human race being born living in sin then dying and that heaven would be empty. So on Christmas God transforms himself to Jesus so that he can be put to death and make this execution into a human sacrifice that satisfies God and Jesus. But not completely, because God needs to know that you know what a wonderful guy God is for killing himself for you. Fear not though because God wrote a book. Now there are a number of books that claim to be written by God but faith number one the bible is that book. Then comes faith number 2. How do I make sense of this book full of archaic language from a time and space far from me. You pick one, only one and entirely that one denomination that is true to God's plan. So I don't know Greek or Hebrew, couldn't tell you with clarity how these various christian denominations started, what their doctrine entails and the reasons the y give for why they have the truth and everyone else but them is fatally flawed. I had nightmares in school about writing a book report but now am believing that somehow I can comprehend a book that people caught wars over who is right and who is wrong.

you have no repentence, no baptism, and no receiving the Holy Spirit....
