OK I'm Baptist, and I'm very confused on the question of salvation. Here are my questions:
1. Is OSAS (Once Saved, Always Saved) Biblical?
2. If a Christian refuses to spread the Gospel, are they going to hell?
3. Is it truly by faith, and not works that we are saved?
I pose these questions due to a video I saw online. Supposedly a Korean Artist had a tour of hell with Jesus, and during the tour, she said that Christians who don't share the Gospel, or don't find sharing the Gospel as important will go to hell. Is this true?
I'm sort've scared of hell right now, since I struggle with evangelism. I know I should share the Gospel, but I just have such a hard time with it.
*Sorry If I posted this in the wrong section*
The word "saved" is past tense. A word study of this word and how it is used in the Bible is very enlightening. It comes from the Greek word "sozo" and has been used 106 times in the New Testatment, translated several ways. It has been used in the continuing tense - is being saved (not completed) and also translated as healed, well, escape, deliver and survive. (I share the word study below, including scripture.)
Understanding the depth, breadth, width and height of what the LORD means is of the utmost importance and will answer all of the questions you have posed. Like, 'spread the Gospel'...The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just words we speak, but a life truly transformed that testifies of the Power of Christ without having to speak a word. (1 Peter 3:1) Our conduct is LIVING the Gospel by the power of HIS spirit.
Genuine faith...brings increase of HIM, less of "me"...the works of genuine faith transform us from the inside out. A huge problem within the visible church is that many speak words they think convey the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but are really just the human mind's interpretation or thoughts. The Gospel of Jesus Christ TRULY comes in POWER and changes to the uttermost. It does not wink at sin, nor condone it. It provides a way (grace of God/POWER) to be overcomers and walk as HE walked. Faith without works is dead. Even the heathen know how to do acts of kindness, but that does not save.
If one is truly "being saved" there will be transformation taking place from the inside out. There will be growth in the attributes of Christ. There will be given deeper understanding and revelation of The Word of God by the Spirit of Truth. The battle between flesh and spirit will end (double-mindedness), eventually. One will go from the milk of the word to MEAT at HIS table, served up by Jesus Himself. DOING or obeying scripture (be ye holy...) is possible with HIS Gospel and being IN Christ will mean no human effort is necessary as HIS Spirit will cause us to LIVE it.
