OK folks. I wanted to offer a few more choices than other salvation polls. I think we can all agree that Y'shua is the Word and that John, having no other Word than Torah, meant Y'shua is Torah or at least Tanakh which includes Torah. For the purpose of this poll, when we say Torah, we also mean the Word made flesh. So:
Is salvation thru Torah Obedience, Faith and Grace?
Is salvation thru Torah Obedience alone?
Is salvation thru Faith and Grace alone?
Is salvation thru Faith alone?
Is salvation thru Grace alone?
Is salvation thru none of the above?
This is a POLL based on defined terms. If you do not find a choice that fits your beliefs then choose the last option, 'none of the above' and if you so choose, explain your choice. Please do not debate the answers that are given in support of a participants choice. Please do not debate the definitions of terms used in this poll. If you have different definitions than these offered, then feel free to include them in your post. Please keep your posts on topic and brief.
The terms used in this poll are to be defined as follows for the purpose of this thread:

The terms used in this poll are to be defined as follows for the purpose of this thread:
Salvation: Salvation is deliverance from the power and penalty of sin; redemption.
Torah Observance: Following the instruction of the Mosaic Law as found in the first five books of the Hebrew scriptures, as expounded on by the Messiah Y'shua and as it applies in context to the individual believer.
Faith:Faith is both the substance of things hoped for and the evidence that things exist that are not yet perceived with the senses.
Grace:Grace in this context is the 'chesed' that is extended by our Father in heaven toward His children. It is defined for the sake of this thread as the redemption of Israel, the preservation of life and resurrection from death, the quickening of the spirit, the redemption from sin and the keeping of covenants made with man and Himself for the redemption of man and His Creation.
