“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Simply say, Jesus Christ come into my life and save me.. and He will. You don't believe it? Then there is nothing to lose by trying it.. so anywhere you are.. Call on the name..
Jesus Christ enter my life and save me.

No matter what false religion you are currently following.. no matter how bad you think you are.. no matter where you are.. GOD loves you more than you can imagine and He is happy you called :)

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
-Ro 10:13-14

Now that you have read this and called His name.. post a response here and tell us what happened at that moment..
(anything no matter how insignificant you may feel it is)

:preach:


With Love,

Yet, there is that thing about repenting. Just calling out the name of Jesus the Christ does not save anyone......it's the repenting of sins that it's about and once someone repents, and calls on the name of Jesus the Christ, realizing they are worthy of hell, they shall be saved.

Ever listened to Paul Washer? He tells it like it is.

Done that. Been there. Bought the book.

So, considering that I've already been saved, I'll continue as a happy nontheist and Eudaimonist. :)


eudaimonia,

Mark

Really, that's it? No study required? No sincerity? No continual practice? You just have to say those words and you're saved? Even if you break the law and be a really mean person afterwards?

Sounds really empty to me.
No thanks (again)

"Scared to Call His Name? "

After some of the conversations I have had here with those whose paths are different than my own, I'd say fear has nothing to do with it. And you are being rather simplistic in your approach to salvation. You can't just say the words - you have to believe them and you have to put that belief (faith) into action.

It is not a problem of being scared - it is a non/other belief thing.

I don't think the issue is around God loving us, that's a given...our focus should be loving other people as we see the activity of God with in them. From my perspective, I don't care how much a person calls upon the name of Jesus, if they are not loving others and putting others first in their life, I seriously question the name they are calling upon.

What you suggest is subjective. It depends on your interpretation of how that love should be expressed. Does it measure up to your opinion. Therefore, you are wrong.

Of course Love for others is subjective...that's the nature of Love. It's not my opinion that matters though. It's how Love touches the souls of those who both express Love for others and those who receive that Love. That's where the magic of Love happens.

Therefore, you are wrong.
I have no idea how Love for others can ever be wrong.

I didn't say love is wrong; I said you are.

Wouldn't that be incredibly offensive to people who actually believe in Christianity for me to do so? It would be a mockery for me to say words that are empty and meaningless to me, but are important words of faith for others.

I may not agree with religious people, but I try to respect their beliefs.

Thor, huh? I never quite got around to feeling any sense of connection with the hammer guy. Now Freyja, on the other hand...
