[WelshJesusFreak]

Hi i'd like to ask like all the denom's opinion on what it takes to be saved? e.g. speaking in tounges, adult baptism etc. General Denom' teaching and personal opinion. If you could keep like discussion low and kinda put it in like bullet points would be reallllly good. thanks you so much x

We do not believe that speaking in tongues or baptism is required for salvation.

We believe that it's Grace alone that saves us and that once we put our faith in Jesus and are saved, we cannot lose that salvation.

In a nutshell this is what it takes to be saved as far as I am concerned:

Acts 16:30-32 "And leading them outside, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, and your household. 32 And they spoke the Word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his household."

from The Baptist Catechism

90. Q. What doth God require of us that we may escape his wrath and curse, due to us for sin?
A. To escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin, God requireth of us faith in Jesus Christ, repentance unto life (Acts 20:21).

91. Q. What is faith in Jesus Christ?
A. Faith in Jesus Christ is a saving grace (Heb. 10:39), whereby we receive and rest upon him alone for salvation, as he is offered to us in the gospel (John 1:12; Isa. 26:3-4; Phil. 3:9; Gal. 2:16).

92. Q. What is repentance unto life?
A. Repentance unto life is a saving grace (Acts 11:28), whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin (Acts 2:37-38) and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ (Joel 2:12; Jer. 3:22), doth, with grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it unto God (Jer. 31:18-19; Ezek. 36:31), with full purpose of and endeavour after new obedience (2 Cor. 7:11; Isa. 16-17).

You must accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your saviour. You automatically know when you are saved...it's such a wonderful feeling that's hard to explain.
