My dear sister, the place that you are at, is the place were we try to get those struggling Christians to, and there are many paths and ways to that place.
Try as you might, but you have no power to save!

Revelation 7:9-12
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Isaiah 44:8
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Isaiah 19:20
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

Isaiah 45:21
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

Luke 2:11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Psalm 22:3
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

When we accept our Lord Jesus Christ into our life, it’s said that we are “born again”, and “saved”.
Agreed.

Though I suspect, according to your words, that salvation is fickle in your eyes and that you do not believe Jesus is able to make us stand.

Perhaps this may be, but who are you to judge who is and isn't saved? Hrmm?

Only God see's the heart!?

The foundation of a new born-again is the “incorruptible seed of His Word”,
That sure foundation is none other than Christ Jesus, the Living God, you confuse the subject;

1 Corinthians 3:11
For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

John 5:39
Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;

It is the PERSON of the Living God who saves, not doctrine!

God saves!

2 Corinthians 1:21
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

they believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and are baptised in water;
So then, everyone who's not baptised in water, but everyone who has experienced the baptism of the Spirit, co-crucified with Jesus, is not saved, is that it?


You confuse the subject, and you add WAY to much info!

What is needful is a soft touch for our sister, and you end up throwing bricks?!?

The baptism of water, done by the hands of men, does NOT save us, and teaching otherwise is un-Scriptural!

This is not the case with every believer! You make a blanket statement and expect every unique individual to fall into your box? Some experience a burst of revealation and enlightenemnt by the Grace of God! For others, santification is a process, but one which is guaranteed to succeed, for Christ Jesus Sanctified HIMSELF on our behalf.

There is only one blanket statement that is true;

1 Timothy 1:15
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

The 21st Century in these “the last days of perilous times” and the days ahead of us in the future can be testing, alarming, and full of many obstacles, temptations, and trials.
And again I quote:

2 Corinthians 1:21
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

John 10:29
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Zechariah 8:13
And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

Isaiah 35
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

Hebrews 12:12-13
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Again you look to man!
As Christian we have no need for anyone to teach us, for the Holy Spirit yearns in us to jealousy, revealing the way escape by abiding in Christ.

And God is able to make us stand!!!

Romans 14:4
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

Romans 5:5
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Romans 15:9-13
And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

The sin within the Body of Christ has become enormous as the doors of His churches are being buffeted by much false teaching through the infiltration of new age, and other religion’s thinking, beliefs, and practices.
God see's no sin, why do you

?!?
God see's the Blood, why don't you?!?
God the Father see's Christ crucified for the sins of the world, and risen for the Justification of the Saints, why don't you?!?

Hebrews 7:25
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Many are conforming to the world through political correctness; discrimination; accusations; humanism; and secularism, which have broken down the very Christian heritage that founded Christian-Bible-based countries.
Heritage smeritage, what matters is Christ, and Him Risen!


Anyway, this is an advice forum, not a debate forum. So I'll leave it there.

Blessings!
I was tempted to post this in private, at your say so, but seeing as it is a public post and my sister would be greatly encouraged to hear your clanging voice rebuked, I posted it here.

Peace my sister!
In Jesus Name!

2 Corinthians 4:12
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

Isaiah 54:11-7
O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

With all of the above I think you can see why GOD'S WORD says:


" ONCE YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE "


Prepare yourself to walk up that road to the KINDOM of ALMIGHTY GOD by reading GOD'S WORD.



ALWAYS REMEMBER:

JESUS IS RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AT!!! EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T SEE HIM!!!
