What are the steps to becoming a Christian?

[A Brethren IN CHRIST]

so you never disobeyed your parents

I found the perfect child on addition to christ ............ha ha ha

That list is everyone...........

Romans 3:10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, thereis none that seeketh after God.

what does everyone entail ........ 1 cor 10:32 Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.

wow three groups ... can be in one not multiple groups

but we believe according to Faith Heb 11:1 ect ect on verses

Romans 4:17-18 (As it it written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) evan God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as through they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

where does faith come from Gal 5:22-23 from the fruit of the Spirit.... how does he pick us

Eph 1:4 According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy[set apart] and without blame before him in love..

where at set apart vs 3 heavenly places not on earth



seen ing the progression.....?

 

[gqaggie04]

I don't understand why you made the comment about me disobeying my parents. I never even implied that I had never disobeyed them.

There are none that seek after God without the Holy Spirit. But the way in which the Holy Spirit directs us is through the word. Since the Holy Spirit inspired the word and faith comes from hearing the word, then faith can be called a fruit of the Spirit.

Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

This verse explains how we get faith very clearly.

 

[A Brethren IN CHRIST]

If the Holy Spirit didn't enlighten us, none of us would believe.

The Holy Spirit enlightens us through the word, or through the Bible. Rom. 1:16 says that the gospel is power of God unto salvation.

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. KJV

Since we have been enlightened through the word of God by the Holy Spirit, we now have a choice to accept salvation or to reject it.

question

if we as sinners do not search out God as romans 3:10-11 states
how does one read the word or study it?

even believers who are carnal have to drink milk from the word as mature christians can handle meat from the word.

Gal 4::29
hebrews 5:11-14
1 cor 3:1-3
romans 8:7

 

[A Brethren IN CHRIST]

Since we have been enlightened through the word of God by the Holy Spirit, we now have a choice to accept salvation or to reject it.

But God know how much is need to enlighten us so that we beleive and know how much he can show unbelievers without saving them

example .........Matt 11:20-24

 

[A Brethren IN CHRIST]

I agree with all of the verses that you just posted. All three parts of the Godhead had a part in our salvation, and it is true that we were saved not by our works of righteousness.

That simply means that we had to rely on God to save us; our works could not save us alone, or apart from God.

That still does not mean that we don't have to accept God's salvation in the way in which he said.

It's like unwrapping the gift. The unwrapping is not a work that earns the gift; it is simply an act of acceptance. We must accept God's gift in the way in which he has said to do so.

eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened[made us alive] us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)

definiton of GRACE some thing not earnedor deserved but received

 

[aggie03]

Just because there are things that we have to do in order to receive God's grace - conditions - this does not mean that I have earned God's grace. Gqaggie made an excellent example of this earlier:

When I receive a gift, I first must accept it. This is a condition to receiving it and in no way negates the fact that it was free.

 

[gqaggie04]

A brethren,

Please answer these questions.

Does unwrapping a gift cause you to earn the gift, or is it the giver's grace?

When a charity cashes a check from a donor, have they earned that check by cashing it, or is it the donor's grace?

When a drowning individual grabs onto the lifeguard, did they save themselves, or did the lifeguard save them?

A brethren,

Please answer these questions.

When a drowning individual grabs onto the lifeguard, did they save themselves, or did the lifeguard save them?

with out the Holy spirit we do not seek God at all romans 3:10-11

so again how does a drowning man get help in the middle of Huccicane Wanda? of the ocean by his self and yet is saved?

not by his self... called a miracle God inabled

 

[aggie03]

You didn't answer the questions, A brethren. There is nothing mentioned about the Holy Spirit or God's miracles in those questions. If you would please answer them that would be great. That's all that we're asking.

 

[A Brethren IN CHRIST]

that is the answer your saying I got to believe which we do and have a part of there own salvation


but I do not have any part of our salavation if you look at everything God does for me

He does all the work

John 6:28 Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

God makes sure that we believe .......think about that.......wow
