    How Old Testament people get saved?

    No. Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sara, Isaac, Rahab, & Job were not Jewish. They're all saved. And he [Abram] believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Gen 15:6 (KJV) Everyone in all ages gets saved the same way; by faith.

    What happens to the people who've never heard the gospel?

    Is there any biblical reason why they couldn't come to the Father by Jesus, without having ever heard of Jesus? Wasn't that the case of every old testament saint? They never heard of Jesus and yet they came to the Father the only way possible; by Jesus. For I know that my redeemer liveth, and...

    If we become a Christian in order to get saved...

    I had only one motive to became a Christian; to escape hell. The only people who become Christians are enemies of God that have no love for Him. Those who love Him don't become Christians, they already are.

    Is the "Only Believe" doctrine false?

    By believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:30-31 (KJV) By being born again. It happens in an instant and is permanent. Whosoever...

    Romans 8:28-30, an interpretation

    And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose; these are already-saved, eternally-secure people. For whom he knew previously – saints of the past he also (not just us, but “also” them) did predestinate to...

    Narrow is the gate and few who find it...Calvinistic?

    Calvinism doesn't have errors; Calvinism IS an error.

    Narrow is the gate and few who find it...Calvinistic?

    Unsaved people don't desire kinship with God. They're at enmity with Him and His wrath is upon them - all of them, equally. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God God will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of...

    "Except the Father Draw Him"

    This is a pretty sound, biblical (not calvinistic) talk on the subject: "Except the Father Draw Him" (Regeneration, Calvinism, Reprobate Doctrine) by Steven L Anderson. 1 hour, 2 minute video. If you've been vexed with the errors of calvinism, this may be quite refreshing and helpful to you.

    How many times can one be regenerated?

    The new creature is 100% in Christ. The flesh is 100% out of Christ. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 3:9 (KJV) Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that...

    How many times can one be regenerated?

    The actual wording is "walk after" (as opposed to "mind"). When a Christian sins he breaks fellowship with God, but he doesn't break his relationship with Him (he's still a regenerate child of God between the time he sins and the time he repents of that sin). During that time the indwelt...

    How many times can one be regenerated?

    A person can only be regenerated once; and it's a permanent regeneration. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John 3:9 (KJV) But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst...

    1800 languages

    There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Psalms 19:3 (KJV) God made all the languages at Babel and scattered everyone. God put every man, woman, and child in their distinct locations for one reason; so they could be saved. Acts 17:26, 27. God, who wills for all men to be...

    1800 languages

    They have heard. Read the next verse: But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. Romans 10:18 (KJV)

    Has my sin killed me spiritually? Loss of salvation

    No. If you were never a believer you didn't grow in Him for 16 seconds, let alone 16 years. You have to be born before you can grow. A born again person never dies spiritually and never looses Christ.
