Do not assume that someone has correct beliefs if they are called “pastor” by men. Men can lie who you did not think would lie to you. Men can be deceived. Many people call themselves Christians and there are many different beliefs within that group of people. Few men become born again (saved). On the issue of how salvation is obtained some men tell lies and some tell the truth. To find out who is telling the truth you should read The Bible so you can know for yourself what God says. I would read one of the King James versions. I believe there is power in the King James version. If we know which version of The Bible is the unaltered Word of God, then we know that so called “versions” which have different words are not the unaltered Word of God.
Don’t listen to a man just because he wears a suit, just because he has a certain number of years experience being a so called "pastor" (maybe he is not a pastor in God's eyes), or just because he has been a part of some committee. Going to church and listening to people preach will not save you. You need to read The Bible for yourself to make sure that the preacher you are listening to is not leading you to believe something that is not true.
There is only One Truth. There is only One Way. There is only One Life. Nobody can go to The Father but by Jesus Christ. The enemy can cause confusion of the mind. A man can read one verse from God’s Word and read a verse in a different place in God's Word and there is no contradiction between those two verses. But the enemy might try to confuse the man.
To correctly interpret God’s Word (to correctly divide God’s Word) we need to know things about God. God is love. Jesus Christ is eternal life. Jesus Christ is God. Jesus Christ is The Son of God. Read Isaiah chapter 6 where we read about seraphims which cried unto another about The LORD of hosts. If you want to know about God’s holiness read the book of Revelation by yourself sometime and read about God’s anger in the book of Jeremiah and in many other places in The Bible.
God will pour out his wrath on those who do not believe in Jesus Christ. God talks about His wrath in Isaiah 13. Read that chapter in one of the King James versions.
The heart of a man is deceptive above all things. You can be deceived for a long time no matter how wise you believe you are. Someone may lie to you and tell you that a verse in The Bible which is stating how someone who is already a true believer can please God is instead stating how an unsaved man can be saved. Be slow to speak and quick to listen. Listen really really carefully in a sober way to what God is saying in The Bible. God is not the author of confusion. God will not mislead you. Some people argue about the meaning of the word “believe” in Scriptures which contain that word. After reading John chapter 3 we know that whosoever believeth in Jesus Christ will not perish but will have everlasting life. Some man who preaches a false gospel telling lies might argue about the meaning of the word “believe”. God will not mislead you. The english word “worketh” does not appear in John 3:16 and it does not appear in John 5:24. In those verses we do not read that God wants us to try to make an effort to do things out of love for God or out of love for people. We do not read in those verses that God wants us to do righteousness to help orphans and widows. You need to read The Bible carefully and ask God to explain the true meaning of the words you read to you. The exact words that God wanted to be used were used when the apostle John wrote the book of John.
Obeying God’s commandments cannot make it possible for you to stand in the presence of a God whom the angels describe as being Holy, Holy, Holy. He is set apart, set apart, set apart. In this life believers have sin dwelling in their flesh (read Romans 7 in the King James version). Those who have not been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ cannot enter heaven and will spend eternity in the lake of fire unless they choose to believe in Jesus Christ in this life. (read Revelation 20:15). When a man who has sinned tries to do things that are good it does not change the fact that at some time in the man's life, the man has sinned. Ask God how you can be saved. God tells you how in The Bible.
God will pour out His wrath on unbelievers soon. Unbelievers are those who do not believe in Jesus Christ. You must believe in Jesus Christ in this life before death to avoid the wrath of God and to receive eternal life (be saved). Believe in Jesus Christ today.
