In a born-again Christian perspective, what does being saved mean?

Question

Does it mean..accepting Christ as your savior? or what?

Answer 1

It means you accept Christ who came to earth to cleanse us of our sins, for no man is good, It means you have understood that Christ is the son of God who has redeemed us of our sins by shedding his own blood and who died for us. It means NOBODY ON EARTH IS ANY GOOD WE ARE ALL BAD FOR THE SIN THAT STARTED ADAM AND EVE who dissapointed God ate of the forbidden fruit and as a result we were bannished from paradise. Having disobeyed God, Adam and Eve who originally had everlasting life were thrown out of paradise, and as punishement they had to work hard for their rest of their lives, and instead of never dieing - death came to them. Thus the rest of humanity , descendants of Adam and Eve had sinned so bad that DEATH became unto them. Had they not sinned we would not have to work our bum's off and had they not dissobeyed God and followed the devil , Adam and Eve and the rest of humanity would never die.
As a result of desobeying, and going against what God told them not to do, and getting tempted by the devil instead of listening to God we all have to die. We dont have ever lasting life unless we accept Jesuschrist as the son of God and the way we are saved means that once born again (learning all thse and understanding it and accepting God through his son Jesuschrist) our SOUL WILL NOT DIE FOREVER.

Not all humanity will be born again after death, if they can't accept God, not allah but GOD ALMIGHTY who created us and the Universes.

conclusion: being saved means when you die you will not have to die forever and yr rotten corpse lay under the grown. You will be rising as in Christs resurrection and go to God on judgment day when evil and good souls WILL BE JUDGED by Christ and He will decide who was good on earth, followed God's commandments and was born again from the death that was bestowed upon us by the ORIGINAL SIN.

Humanity descends from two tribes that later came to be from Adam and Eve's first descendants.
THIS GOES BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST
One tribe became the ARabs (descendants of --sorry i cant remember who was it originally) and the other tribe came to be Jewish. The history goes to one man being pretty nasty and the other one not. However there are much more details to this.

Cain and Abel were sons of Adam and Eve, Cain later for hatred killed Abel. The descendants then turned out to be a split or two cultures, one is the Arabs and the other i believe is the Jewish.

sO THE SIN CONTINUED AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS NOT STOPPED....MIDDLE EAST AND THEN SOME . The fights that we have seen in Iraq, Afghanistan etc and Israel agsinst Palestine etc (Jewish who never accept Christ as the messiah but as a prophet) are an example that still continues to this day between tribes rivalries and hatred originally from Cain and Abel.

Not many people believe much coz they dont study nor want to . but those who vow under the Lord's grace and are re born are saved to everlasting life after death and the judgement day and then resurrection.
JUST AS CHRIST RESURRECTED, SO WILL THOSE DEAD PEOPLE WHO WRE WHEN ALIVE ON EARTH BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS.

Answer 2

Just off the cuff, I think originally, that when people said, "Get baptized in the name of Jesus and you will get saved"; Acts 13:31,meant that being saved was the end result, like God will save/ keep you, when he judges. Matthew 10:22

Nowadays, people think 'being saved,' happens either upon baptism or when a person gives their life to God in prayer....at the beginning of their Christian journey.

So, in that case, the question arose, 'once saved, always saved?' to which the answer is NO; Rev. 2:10.

To me the idea is, that believers, in the BOOK OF LIFE, are saved for LIFE, as opposed to the second death in the lake of fire...Rev.20:15.

Answer 3

Repent of your sins
believe in your heart that Jesus the Christ is who he says He is and that He died for your sins,was buried and rose again the thrird day according to the scriptures
confess with your mouth that He is Lord
be baptized
All of these are neccesary, (with the possible exception of baptisism in some but not most cases) of course if you truly do these things then there will start tobe a difference in how you live

Answer 4

If a born again Christian is drowning and I pull him out am I his savior?

Answer 5

Jesus was talking you must receive the gift of the Holy Ghost to be born again. If you haven't your not. Can you find one place in the book of the Acts of the church where anyone that received the Holy Ghost didn't speak in tongues? No?, go figure.

Answer 6

It means that if you have been attacked in someway, you have been saved so not gone crazy because of the attack. If your mind has been attacked then your sanity will be saved so not go crazy, if your soul has been attacked then strength is given to allow you to heal. Those who believe they have been saved can see farther than what was trying to knock them down. There is a feeling, aura of feeling blessed when been "saved"
My opinion anyhow

Answer 7

It's not just letting God know you believe and accept his forgiveness - once that's done, you've got to act on it!
You've got to change the way you live your life; you've got to SHOW God you mean what you say when you say "you're awesome, I love you forever, etc."
It's ... the test I heard is, can people tell you're a Christian just by looking at your life and the way you act and treat other people?
If they can, question answered.

Answer 8

Jesus saved us from the penalty that the law requires for disobedience when he allow himself to be the blood sacrifice.

We are born with a sinful nature and it is impossible to be perfect. So..by receiving in our hearts his sacrifice, we become (spiritually) without sin, and no longer under the penalty of the law

Answer 9

to be a born-again christian you qould ahve to
realize that you are a sinner
that nothing you do can save you
accept the gift that Christ gave you on the cross
(i.e. sday the sinnners prayer)
confess it with your mouth and believe in your heart

Answer 10

Not only accepting Christ as your saviour, you must be ready to give up everthing in this earthly world just to please him. And when he commands you to do something, don't question him just do it. And you also must spend lots of time with him. If you do not go to Church one day, then you have to spend time with him at home. And ten percent of what you earn(if you are an adult) must be given for offering for the extension of his Kingdom

Answer 11

Accepting Christ is as necessary as accepting him as Lord. You must accept his plan of Salvation (Saviour part) and you must follow His commands (Lord part). You have to verbally call on God to save you through the Jesus plan and you must also believe in your heart this plan. Romans 10:9-10.

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
