    It is fully understood by the one Church Jesus Christ founded, to which He promised the fullness of God's truth. Various manmade religions have their own understandings of salvation, and of everything else, some of which may agree with God's understanding, but a lot of which doesn't.

    To fully understand the real meaning of salvation, please type WMSCOG on your browser and read the "Truth of life" portion near the bottom of the page.

  • If you have a stone hard head, no one will be able to convince you that, Christians, means: followers of Jesus Christ, the Lord. That is, to observe all that the Lord has prescribed with his laws!

    You are still out of Salvation, if you continue with your religion, you will end up in hell.

    Yes, salvation is fully understood by those who know the SAVIOUR personally.  There is only ONE GOD and there is only ONE SAVIOUR.

    It doesn't matter how many other 'religions' and 'cults' CLAIM to be the only way anyone can be saved, the fact remains that there is ONLY ONE SAVIOUR. His Name is Jesus Christ.  THERE IS NO OTHER - for there is no other name under heaven, given amongst men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

    Don't you realize that every other false messiah, false god, false christ who has come and said they were the only one, has long since died because they were ONLY HUMAN.

    God has to be GOD - SUPERNATURAL, Holy and a Spirit - which the God of all creation is. (John 4:24).  Other gods cannot be supernatural and be everywhere at once - God can by His Spirit.  Human being gods are not superhuman.  They are the same as us.  They get sick and die.  The are flawed and often get into sin just as we do also.

    Have any of these other false gods, false christs, false idols, false messiahs ever DIED FOR YOU and YET THEY ARE STILL ALIVE?  Of course not.  They are mere human beings.  You can have no confidence in another human being to save you, or we could all save ourselves.  God has the power - nobody else.  Those false gods weren't anywhere around when God created this world.  That's why God asked Job, "Where were you when I put flung the stars into space?  Where were you Job, when I did this and that and all the other powerful things?

    Only God Himself could come here and DIE FOR US and then be raised from the dead and now ever live still, to make intercession for all the saints, because He can save to the uttermost, those who come to God THROUGH HIM. (Hebrews 7:25).

    Salvation requires a Saviour and there cannot be several Saviours and they certainly cannot be human beings.  That's ridiculous in the extreme.

    Knowing that it's God Almighty who is our CREATOR and SAVIOUR should give us confidence.  He is never going to let us down.  He is never going to pass away.  He neither slumbers nor sleeps.  He is eternal.  He is stable.  He is Almighty.  He is our rear guard who protects us continually.  He is our Provider - I could go on and on.

    Believe me, there is only ONE true and living God and I don't care what anyone else says, nobody will ever convince me that He is not the One, because He continually stays in touch with me, fellowships with me, loves me, comforts me, helps me when I am in trouble (Psalm 46:1 & 2), give me peace, calms the storms of life and never lets me down.  I was only praying for a friend the other night who 'phoned in desperate need and trouble, and God healed her even as I was praying and she was agreeing in prayer.  I have never seen anyone get healed so quickly. It was instantaneous.

    No, nobody will ever convince me otherwise.  Christ is God our Saviour and there is no other.  He is immortal, invisible, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see ( 1Timothy 6: 15 & 16).

    Those who refuse Him don't know what they are missing.  He is my Life, my health, my Saviour, my Deliverer, my Friend that sticks closer than a brother.

    Don' be deceived, God is not mocked.  Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap.  If anyone sows to the flesh, he will of the flesh reap corruption.  But if he sows to the Spirit, he will, of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

    For those who are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

    And there is, therefore, no condemnation to those who do not walk in the flesh but who walk according to the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death.  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of sin.  He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteousness of the law would be fulfilled i those who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit etc.

    In other words, nobody can save ourselves by being good, doing good things, being self-righteous.  Only God can save and it will be through His Son, Jesus Christ or no way at all.

    I don't care what anyone else says.  This is the truth.  This gospel brings nothing but peace, confidence, joy, and dispels all fear, ill-health, pain, sorrow and everything else that's evil or distressing in this world.

    I can only tell you the truth - it's up to you whether you believe it nor but God does say, PROVE ME.  So why don't you?  God is not afraid of the outcome so you shouldn't be

    Salvation is avoiding hell, among other things. Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell.  But it is very easy to avoid hell. Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ means being forgiven all sins past and future, and means going to heaven and not hell.  And all saved people still sin.  See 1 John 1:8.  Death leads to immediate heaven or hell, and it is too late to be saved, after death.  To be in heaven and not hell, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God and who died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for all of our sins in full, and who was buried, and who resurrected from the dead.  The only way to avoid hell is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, without adding any of your own works.  See Romans 4:5, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, and John 3:16.

    “Let’s suppose your longtime friend converts to Mormonism or Islam. Or another religion. What do you say? Congratulations? Faith is a journey, not a destination? Good luck? 

    The religious indifferentism of the last three generations has contributed to the enshrinement of subjective truth and the condemnation of any organization (religious or otherwise) which suggests that there is such a thing as objective truth, applicable to all people and all cultures at all times and all places. Just look at what’s been happening recently with social media hashtags like “tellyourtruth”.

    The Church is necessary for our salvation. We must boldly proclaim, especially for the sake of our loved ones, that to have a relationship with Christ is to love his Church.

  • GOD SAID in Isaiah 43:11 "I AM the LORD and beside Me there is no Savior"

    Jesus is the LORD (John 20:28) Who "SAVES" (Mark 16:16) when "He baptizes us with the Holy Ghost" (John 1:33; Acts 1:5) and gives us (((POWER))) [Acts 1:8] to become the sons of GOD" (John 1:12-13).

    SAYING

    "...I will remember their ["past" Romans 3:25] sins no more" (Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 8:12).

    "SIMPLE" (II Corinthians 11:3-4)!

    Only the Bible shows what it is we humans need to be saved from and how God alone can do that for us. No religion can save us. No set of doctrines can save us. Sadly, many people in Christianity have not grasped that because their teachers are distorting what the Bible says on the matter, or even saying the Bible isn't a true, reliable guide. Many denominations within Christianity teach a system of doing things to eventually get saved: "Do A, B, then C" and you should merit God's favor and he will be pleased enough with you to save you from your sin."

    That is a satanic lie. It is found in all world religions but even within many groups calling themselves Christian. That is why the Bible warns Christians to look out for men who distort the gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation. Nothing else is.
