I am saved by the grace of God, not on my works! What a good God we have!

[jeremiahpillay]

I love these compilations with Dr David Wood!

[unclelelax]

I hope My Great Muslim Classmate will experience the LOVE of Jesus in awesome way.

[onestepaway]

No, atonement is through Jesus only. Those who have the son are free. Muslims do not accept Gods grace. Period

[dorothyhinz]

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." If Jesus is not the only way to the Father, then we are all lost.

*MUSLIMS ARE NOT ASSURED OF THEIR SALVATION*
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mus'ud:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the true and truly inspired said, "(The matter of the Creation of) a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature's) deeds, his livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or wretched (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into him. So, a man amongst you may do (good deeds till there is only a cubit between him and Paradise and then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire. And similarly a man amongst you may do (evil) deeds till there is only a cubit between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been written for him decides his behavior, and he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise."



حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقُهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَلَكًا، فَيُؤْمَرُ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ، وَيُقَالُ لَهُ اكْتُبْ عَمَلَهُ وَرِزْقَهُ وَأَجَلَهُ وَشَقِيٌّ أَوْ سَعِيدٌ‏.‏ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ الرُّوحُ، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلاَّ ذِرَاعٌ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ كِتَابُهُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، وَيَعْمَلُ حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّارِ إِلاَّ ذِرَاعٌ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Sura 19.71 (actually 68 - 72) are some of the most frightening verses and should scare every Muslim out of Islam. 71 'And (there is) NONE among you but shall go down to it; this is of your Lord an (unavoidable) decided Decree.' As David pointed out, this INCLUDES Mo himself. What a way to go???

[obviouslyinvisible]

Dear Dr. Brown, since some Muslims stumble over the word _Son_, what pre-requisite knowledge did Jesus' original disciples have that helped them to understand that title? In other words, what required understanding of the Old Testament and its context are the Muslims missing about the title _Son_ ? Is there a different word than _Son_ that we should use when trying to lead Muslims to the Truth?

[jedimasterham]

God the Father sent us Jesus Christ, who is God in human form. He was sent as a sacrifice to take on sin so we don't have to.
If you repent of sin and believe in Jesus Christ, you will be saved from hell. If you're unsure, please pray to God in your own time, and tell Him you're willing to repent and believe in Jesus, but you need God's help.

How can someone follow Islam blindly without any assurance of salvation

[lonewolf]

Look up "the man who is my companion" and show that to the muslim.

[ChineseChicken]

Muslims don’t have a blood sacrifice for the atonement of their sins. Therefore it’s impossible for them to enter Heaven. Unless they are Born Again and Baptized with Water and the Spirit NO ONE will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. NO ONE can get to the FATHER except through the SON

[ezekielsaffa-bmjq]

Muslims are those who fully SUBMIT themselves to the will of Allah
Question
1) Did Mohammad fully SUBMITTED himself to the will of Allah
2) What is the final destination in eternity of those who will fully SUBMIT themselves to the will of Allah
3) Where is Mohammad present location - Heaven, Hell or Where else
Please give proofs from the Quran

[Harvey-Sp]

The Almighty God said the truth:
وَقَالُوا لَن يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَن كَانَ هُودًا أَوْ نَصَارَىٰ ۗ تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ ۗ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
And here they are talking about it. Is that AMAZING?

[letthechipsfly]

I wander what Allah's take on human rights or pedophilia, or grooming and rape of infidels in the streets is? There is but one I am, one trinity and one way to our Father.

[TheGoogleChannel]

Here I'll tell ya that's a great big no, your book strips the Lord of his deity and his sacrifice, you good Muslims have no chance unless you go to the Lord Jesus Christ.. ✌

[FlowLai]

As a Catholic, we don't believe in assurance of salvation either... it's not biblical

[andyhousley]

Yes they do, as do ALL men! It’s not for just ‘special’ people. Christ died for all. Gospel means good news, not a bit of good for some, and torment for others! #Radicalgrace

[Harvey-Sp]

Are Jews and Christians playing part of the Quran prophecy? YES This video is an example on how that prophecy came to pass.

[NoahSJ]

How can you claim that prophet Muhammad (saw) didn’t know where he would go when he himself literally said that he would be the first to enter heaven after the day of judgment.
Sahih Muslim 196 The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Amongst the apostles I would have the largest following on the Day of Resurrection, and I would be the first to knock at the door of Paradise.

Sahih Muslim 197 The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I will come to the gate of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. and would seek its opening. and the keeper would say: Who art thou? I would say: Muhammad. He would then say: It is for thee that I have been ordered, and not to open it for anyone before thee.

Sahih Muslim 195 So they would come to Muhammad (ﷺ). He would then be permitted (to open the door of Paradise).

Now let’s look at how much safer the salvation is in islam then the salvation in Christianity.

Sahih al-Bukhari 4741
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the day of Resurrection Allah will say, 'O Adam!' Adam will reply, 'Labbaik our Lord, and Sa`daik ' Then there will be a loud call (saying), Allah orders you to take from among your offspring a mission for the (Hell) Fire.' Adam will say, 'O Lord! Who are the mission for the (Hell) Fire?' Allah will say, 'Out of each thousand, take out 999.' At that time every pregnant female shall drop her load (have a miscarriage) and a child will have grey hair. And you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet not drunk, but severe will be the torment of Allah." (22.2) (When the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned this), the people were so distressed (and afraid) that their faces got changed (in color) whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "From Gog and Magog nine-hundred ninety-nine will be taken out and one from you. You Muslims (compared to the large number of other people) will be like a black hair on the side of a white ox, or a white hair on the side of a black ox, and I hope that you will be onefourth of the people of Paradise." On that, we said, "Allahu-Akbar!" Then he said, "I hope that you will be) one-third of the people of Paradise." We again said, "Allahu-Akbar!" Then he said, "(I hope that you will be) one-half of the people of Paradise." So we said, Allahu Akbar."

Also every muslim will go to jannah (Heaven) but some will have to be in hellfire first.

Sahih al-Bukhari 44
“Whoever says Laa ilaaha ill-Allah and has in his heart goodness the weight of a grain of barley will be brought out of Hell, then whoever says Laa ilaaha ill-Allah and has in his heart goodness the weight of a grain of wheat will be brought out of Hell, then whoever says Laa ilaaha ill-Allah and has in his heart goodness the weight of an atom (or a small ant) will be brought out of Hell.” 

Allah also tells us that he will forgive EVERY sin if we just ask for it. Allah also blessed us with making every good deed count as 10 good deeds while one bad is is equivalent to that one deed. There are even special days and nights were the good deeds are multipled exponentially. So it is very hard to have more bad deeds then good. Allah also tells us to be mindful of him, to stay away from sin and to opey him and the prophet and we will have gardens under which rivers flow.

Now let’s look at the christian salvation and see if it is safer.

For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame. Hebrews 6:4-6
These verses are literally saying that you can’t repent/be forgiven after you have been filled with the holy spirit and then sinned.

1 Corinthians 9:27
No, I keep on disciplining my body, making it serve me so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.
Paul is saying that your salvation can go away. Your salvation isn’t 100% in christianity, even Paul himself said that he could be disqualified so the idea of once saved always saved is false.

And rev 3:5 tells us that your name can be wiped out, which seem kinda strange. That means that it adds people and then takes away some and then adds people. It should just have it all set, anyways.

And how to you get blotted out, well we don’t really know. Paul told us that sin will take you out, but he doesn’t give us a clear list. He names some sins and then say such things, what does such things mean, a swear word? A prideful thought? We don’t know. But we can take his other statement that every sin is death, so I guess that a swear word is enough to be blotted out. It doesn’t seem like the Christian salvation is so safe as they claim and as the Bible states they can’t come back to repentance if they slip up.

Allah tells us Lo! those who believe and do good works, for them are the gardens of delight, 31:8.
