For YOUR religious belief, what is the most precious document and what must YOU do to be "Saved"?

The Bible is our only inspired message from God.

Several people have mentioned Belief/Faith that Jesus is the Son of God. He is the rewarder of the faithful.

Repentance is where we are sorry for all the wrong in our lives and causes us to turn around and go in a different direction toward God.

Confess that Jesus is God's Son, the personification of God on earth is necessary.

Baptism washes away our sins and through water baptism we enter into Jesus' body as we "put on" Christ.

After baptism, we must walk in the new life and attempt to live without sin. When we do sin, which we will, we have to pray and ask God to forgive our sins.

These requirements for the free gift is like us winning the lottery. If our numbers are drawn, we win the free gift of the money. However, there are certain things we must do in order to receive the free money. We must take our ticket into their offices. If we do not take the ticket in, we will not receive the money that is there for us. If we do take it into the office, we must sign paperwork in the office. If we refuse to sign the paperwork, we do not get the money we won. The same is true of our salvation.

There is not one part of the Bible that is not true. It does have to be divided correctly, in that the Bible is divided into 3 sections or eras. The Patriorichal, the Law of Moses and the Christian era. The Christian era begins with the book of Acts and goes throught the rest of what is called the New Testament.

The Bible is the most precious document, because it is Gods Written Word, But We must Have Jesus Christ to be saved.

Some think if they have the Bible and the law they can be saved, but the law is here to teach us, and convict us so we know, we are not saved until we have Faith and Belief in Jesus Christ as our savior. We will then also be convicted through the Holy Spirit,Just by knowing the Bible or knowing the words, will not help, it is only when you have accepted The Lords Give that you are washed in The Blood and Saved.

The most precious document is THE BIBLE THE INTEGRAL WORD OF GOD. Now the new bibles but old ones like King James, or any old bibles before 1912. The NIV and many like those are perverted, cut off and had been translations that come from the roman catholic church (which main goal was to make them the saviour through Mary, or church or baby baptism)

What must I do to be saved: It says if you believe and CONFESS that Jesus died for your sins and if you walk in the SPIRIT and not in the FLESH you will be saved. The new bibles have many versed removes or perverted, but as it is written THOSE WHO WILL OVERCOME WILL BE SAVED so we have to NOT ONLY BELIEVE AND ACCEPT JESUS but also walk as HE WALKED as it is written. IF WE JUST BELIEVE, we will not be saved for we are known by our FRUITS and so it is with God. That is why HE speaks of the 10 virgins: 5 will lack oil, those are 5 that believe they are saved because they believed in Jesus as their Saviour, but didn't live in the Spirit (Oil) that is an every day life style. Also Jesus that THOSE WHO LOVE ME AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS will enherit Eternal Life. For we are STILL UNDER THE LAW otherwise why would we need and advocat before the Lord when we sin ? The only law that was cricified with Jesus is the "sacrificial law" which Jesus accumplished once and for all, but you will find in ALL the NEW TESTAMENT it says "those that keep the law" and "Those who walk in the SPIRIT and not in the FLESH" are those that love Jesus.

For me, the Bible is the most precious document, both spiritually and in the case of family Bibles that have been read and cherished by my Grandmother, Father and Mother. These are precious.

I believe that I am saved by grace through faith in Christ, for me that is my salvation.

Please do share your experience, I know that others will want to read it.

You have a great testimony

I believe in the God of the bible and for my salvation, I submitted to Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and confessed my sins before Him by which I am saved by grace.

Hi there Dale!

"Do not be afraid for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name, you are mine."

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you through and through, I chose you to be mine ...."

So we should not worry, should we, but we do - because whilst God is in a position to be CERTAIN, we are not! We doubt - and so we fear!

Thanks for the prayers for Earl Jesse Stevens (Lavengro60).

He is very ill indeed and has asked everyone to pray for him - he hopes to finish his third autobiographical book if he is 'spared' for long enough. He is an inspiration to all of his many friends and readers.

Bye for now,

I am a cancer survivor and I too have had a NDE. I am Roman Catholic but believe that as long as others believe in something they are better off than believing in nothing. I do not bash other religions. As a Catholic we per say are not "saved". We are baptized shortly after birth. We have seven sacraments that we receive and follow throughout our lifetime. All it really boils down to is that a person be lives in something. I have to agree with you on the fact that respecting one another and their freedom of religion or whatever they choose. The world today is harsh enough that we need something to use a tool to guide us.

A star for you!!!!

The Bible is what I use as my guide, I believe it is the inspired word of God. I believe in following the New Testament as our guide. I believe to be saved once you are at the age of accountability you have to hear the Word, believe the Word, repent for your sins, confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that he did die for our sins and rose again. I believe according to the New Testament that once you believe you are to be baptized as an outword sign of being dead to sin, buried with Christ and to rise again to a new spiritual life. I believe you should continue to grow past the milk of a new babe in Christ and continue to grow in knowledge and faith and have to live your life faithful to the end. I believe you can loose your salvation because you grow weak, I believe Christ did say that any branch that does not produce fruit will be cut off. I do believe we as Christians do have the responsibility to teach others. I believe in only one church and that is Christ's church, no other way to the Father but by Christ. I believe you have to follow Christ's example of how to pray, live, baptize, commune, give and love and not in a creed or committee's decisions on the current way to do it. Man can not improve, change God's ways and think that they have a better understanding of it. The Bible says the plan of salvation is so simple that a full can't err in understanding it. I don't cram what I believe down people's throats and I do believe in the end we will all be surprised at how many points we missed, how much grace we will be given and do not believe only one denomination will enter...I know all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that has to include worship.

For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son and whoever believeth on should nor perish but have everlasting live. John 3:16

All u have to do to accept Jesus Christ as your savior is say a little pray and tell him that u know that u are a sinner and that u want for him to come in your life as your savior and to for give u for your sins, The next step would be to follow in Jesus Christ footsteps and that is to get baptized. God bless you. and I will pray for you.

The Bible is the only document or book you need.

You are saved by the blood of the Lamb (uh oh, hear it comes) and the word of your testimony.

You MUST accept Jesus Christ as you Personal Lord and Savior, walk with Him for the rest of your life. When you fall (sin) ask for forgiveness and go on with life.

Your testimony is something that you always have with you and the more you give it away the more it sinks down inside of you and solidifies your beliefs.
