I like this Bible quoter, great feature.
But what about Matthew 28:18-1918 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
I agree - I was going to post Acts 2:38 as well |

You thought what you said was so good so you posted it twice? Or did you want to make sure if we missed it the first time, we saw it the 2nd?

Reps: 11 (power: 0) | | | Im suprised no one has used this verse even though it states what one must do to be saved, or recieve the promise of eternal life.
Romans 10:9 "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." |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | By acknowledging God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist. By acknowledging you are a sinner. By acknowledging that Christ Jesus, fully man and fully God, died on the cross for your sins and that He was resurected three days later. And finally, repent of your sins and accept Christ into your heart.
Done.
Your brother in Christ,

First you must admit to God you are a sinner. 2nd you must beleive that Jesus is God's son and that he died on the cross for your sins. 3rd you must repent of your sins and ask Jesus into your heart. 4th you must Confess Jesus as your Savior and Lord. |

Reps: 835 (power: 0) | | | Faith is the root of it all. True faith will lead to good works, baptism, and all the things Christ taught that we need to be saved. If someone does no good works, he has not the faith in Christ. Thus we work to strengthen our faith that we may in turn follow the Lord's example and teaching and do those things that He would have us do.
So essentially I say faith alone will save us for with true faith comes the work... |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
