vicardino:God condemned all men to perish in the grave aka cease to exists -- no afterlife-- upon death since God cursed man in Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22. So everyone who is not of the blood of Jacob is scheduled to cease to exists when their life span expires. Only those who are of the blood of Jacob are able to enter into the Kingdom of God and be saved from that curse of Death. But those of them who fail to enter in through the Narrow Gate will end up spending eternity in Hell in the Kingdom of God. |

Dtruthspeaker: This your write up contradicts the word as it is written, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9) The difference between the thief on the left and the thief on the right was pride. Even after being corrected, pride won't let the thief on the left to apologise to Jesus and ask for mercy. |

tunde4top:Don't mind the op, it's obvious he has not believed bcuz like many who refuse to believe he can't understand why only faith in Christ will save a hardened criminal when many good people don't have salvation. He fails to understand that good people don't get saved but sinners who believe. 1 Like |

Igba123:Not trying to hold brief for OP at all here but two questions for you. ■ What is faith? ■ And what exactly does Jesus Christ propose to save you from? |

achu442:I am afraid you are very wrong about there here as Jesus Christ made it abundantly clear that you have to be born of water and born of spirit before you can be born again - no exemptions. The thief of the cross, who obviously did not meet the criteria set by Jesus Christ, did not become born again. He couldn't have or else Jesus Christ would have been just a liar and a deceiver, like Satan. |

Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by Kobojunkie: 5:25pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
Sapiosexuality:1. How can you burn in hell when Jesus Christ instead made it abundantly clear that except a man be born-again, He cannot enter into the Kingdom of God through even the broad gate which leads to destruction at the end - John 3 vs 1 - 8 & Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 & Luke 13 vs 22 - 30? 2. Obviously ignorance isn't bliss for you! What is written is over 1000 years old yet here you are living in the information age ignorantly bleating about that which has remained the same for over 1000 years. |

Kobojunkie:It doesn't at all...they are very very simple questions that can be answered without stress Your personality as I have sensed, irritates me bro |
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by Dtruthspeaker: 5:50pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
PROPHETmichael: It is does not contradict for grace means opportunity/allowance granted by Law (Gift). Which means no one should think that they are the ones to determine that they are saved because they have done the right.things. Fear The Law and Fear The Judge. PROPHETmichael: This is off point. |

vicardino:What is it that I have stated so far that is not Christian enough for your eyes? |
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by vicardino(m): 6:27pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
Dtruthspeaker: Grace means opportunity/allowance granted by LAW? I've read enough of your ignorance. Do you even know who is the symbol of Grace? If you know who's the symbol of GRACE, tell me how he's an opportunity/allowance granted by LAW. |
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by Kobojunkie: 6:28pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
vicardino:Grace instead refers to Eternal Life. When you become born again, that is the grace that Jesus Christ gives to you at the door which saves you from Death aka the curse of sin - John 3 vs 16. That is only the first salvation though because the second salvation only comes to those who stand faithful in Jesus Christ until death. |

Kobojunkie: Nothing you have said is Christ like |
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by Kobojunkie: 6:31pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
vicardino:1. Christlike? So, even though every single thing I said comes directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself — His very Gospel teachings found in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John — in your opinion, none of it is Christ-like? ROFLMAO
|
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by Dtruthspeaker: 6:43pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
vicardino: Do you people not say that Grace is "unmerited favour"? Does unmerited not mean that therefore you do not qualify for it? If you are not qualified for it does it not mean that A Judge/Law has already Judged that you are not qualified for it? |
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:48pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
The word "BELIEVE" connotes TRUST so Jesus is the one and only counselor through whose words we can know what God required from each of us in order to gain salvation. So since we don't know God's mind we can be rest assured that His only begotten Son {Matthew 17:5} will tell us how to please his father! 1Corinthians 2:16 |
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by vicardino(m): 6:57pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: Jesus is speaking to you in John 5 : 39 & 40. You are muddling up the letters of Moses with that of Christ, hmmm. Anyways, to answer you 'God already condemned all men to perish in the grave except those of the blood of Jacob' submission, Jesus said in John 3 : 16 that For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER/EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES in him SHALL not perish but have everlasting life. You claim that God has condemned all men to death but only those of the blood of Jacob ain't but Jesus said God gave everyone, blood lineage inconsequential, irrespective of your blood line, God gave every man on Earth the opportunity to choose either DEATH or ETERNAL LIFE. God doesn't condemn people, people condemn themselves by their own choices. You are condemned if you don't believe in the son of God as the saviour. John 3 : 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3 : 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. May the Lord give you understanding. 1 Like |

Dtruthspeaker: You haven't said anything sensible or scriptural please. Answer my question or stop exposing your ignorance. Who are the 'you people'? |
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by Kobojunkie: 7:04pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
vicardino:1. Letters of Moses? 2. These are also the words of the same Jesus Christ to you. 24 Jesus answered, “God sent me only to the lost people[d] of Israel.” - Matthew 15 vs 24And... 5. Jesus sent the twelve men out with these instructions: “Don’t go to the non-Jewish people. And don’t go into any town where the Samaritans live.So, do you reject these words from the same Jesus Christ? |
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by Dtruthspeaker: 7:27pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
vicardino: Just say you do not have any thing to say. |
Re: Is Belief In Jesus Enough For Salvation? by tunde4top(m): 9:50pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
Uchennaz: I truly get your concern/points but the word of God is final. The sweetest thing about Christianity is that we start it as saved people and not hoping/praying to be saved at the end. After becoming saved (believing in the gospel of Jesus), the race for rewards then begins. Some people make the mistake of thinking that the race is for salvation. Salvation is a gift while Rewards require works. Never mix them up. Not everyone will be in the same eternal position in paradise. Your capacity of rewards will determine the glory level of your celestial/terrestrial body in paradise. Corinthians 3:8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. Revelation 22:12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. Winning souls, helping baby Christians wise unto salvation all attracts rewards... You need spiritual growth to be able to carry out these tasks and choosing to deliberately work in sins means that you are not read to earn eternal rewards. Finally, the Bible is aware of this your concern. In 1Corinthians1-12, Paul talks about carnal Christians. Carnal Christians are Christians that consciously/deliberatly work in flesh (sins) because they know that they are already saved. What did Paul say will happen to them at the end? verse 13-15 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Stay blessed. |
