Salvation?

[stuart lawrence]

You didn't get what I was saying. What I'm saying is many celebrities and famous people believe in god yet it's not reflected and people I know as well. Again what is the difference between believing right and believing... isn't believing in god the right thing according to believing=salvation. Also when you use that scripture are you saying they no longer sin?

It's right to believe in God of course. But living a holy life/sin not belong your master hinges on living under grace not law, according to Paul.

No it doesn't mean sinless perfection.

Yet, the apostle Paul said he was glad he didn't baptize except only a few. I wonder why?

I understand what you're saying, but water baptism is for our benefit as a testimony to our faith. If it was required, then faith alone wouldn't be sufficient for salvation.

 

[JESUS=G.O.A.T]

So to what extent does believing on god help you with sin? And I see fair enough

Believing God exists does not in itself give anyone victory over sin.
The power is in the truth of the gospel message

Wish this was true tbh, the if you believe right you'll live right concept I mean. But I've seen to many who believe and don't live it

If you're not hearing about the righteousness of God, you're not hearing the gospel. When you have a Biblical understanding of righteousness, you'll live right.

 

[JESUS=G.O.A.T]

If you're not hearing about the righteousness of God, you're not hearing the gospel. When you have a Biblical understanding of righteousness, you'll live right.

In theory that's how it's supposed to go... but in reality it never works that way. I know from experience. You can know the word well but if you don't have his spirit and are baptized it's pointless. Walking in truth alone doesn't do the job

But how many people do you know who in reality( reality) believe Christ is their righteousness before God?

What...?so what's the difference then between someone who believes right and doesn't then? Also read the scripture in my footnotes I have romans 6:1-6 I believe

I'm confused by this question tbh can you explain it more?

The reality of the gospel transforms lives by those who are willing to let the Bible get in the way of what they have misunderstood.

Someone who believes right knows faith in Christ is their righteousness before God.
Someone who doesn't believe right believes their righteousness is observing the law.

What do you believe gives you right standing before God?
Think before you respond

 

[JESUS=G.O.A.T]

Someone who believes right knows faith in Christ is their righteousness before God.
Someone who doesn't believe right believes their righteousness is observing the law.

But most including celebrities as I mentioned earlier believe in the first one though

I mentioned it earlier already acts 2:38

Do they?

 

[JESUS=G.O.A.T]

Do they?

Yep most people do. It justifies committing sin after all

Most of the over-all church DOESN'T believe Jesus is our righteousness before God. That's why there is a misplaced emphasis on works and behavior. Romans 1:16-17 is the key to the New Covenant.

As a Christian, (not discussing here what you believe brings you into Christianity) what is your right standing before God?

I believe currently I'm saved and being sanctified daily if that's what you're asking.

But remember:
Sin shall no.longer be your master for you are not under law but under grace.

Paul would seem to agree with me
