When Peter was enlightened to the truth on who Jesus was, by the Father God. Peter confessed Yeshua the Messiah, and the Son of the Living God.
Jesus said that Peter is a piece of the Rock and on this Massive Rock (Statement of Faith who Jesus is, enlightened by Father God) Jesus will build His Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
With Confessing one is a sinner needing a Savior, confessing Jesus Christ Lord and believing in ones heart the atonement and resurrection. God looks at the heart that is truly honest and seeking Him. A person is reborn spiritually and is a born again Christian. Not by the persons works or abilities, but through faith, and by the will of God.
Every true Christian has been sealed with the Holy Spirit. Who is with Christian forever and will fill Christian. The Holy Spirit also gives Spiritual Gifts. And the Lord calls to the 5 fold ministry (Apostles, Evangelists, Prophets, Preachers & Teachers).
Read Ephesians 2. Read 1-3 John. It reveals the salvation through faith.
Eph. 2: 12 Remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenan ts of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus, you who formerly were far off have been brough near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall. By abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the law of commandments, contained in ordinance, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace. And might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
And He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near; for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and are of Gods household. having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the chief corner stone. in whom the whole building being fitted together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as the anointing has taught you, you abide in Him.

It means to believe that God came to Earth in the form of a human named Jesus Christ. It means to believe that he paid the penalty for our sin by dying on the cross and committing our lives to him. It means trusting him. It does not mean that we will never do wrong again, it means that when we do, we are forgiven.

Well, in Christian Germany it means you can stop killing Jews after you hit the 6 million mark. Then, you can try to re-write history and blame it all on one man...Hitler, as a scapegoat.

The difference between religion and Christianity is, basically, that religion is man's attempt to reach God, and Jesus is God reaching out to man. All the religions of the world fall short of obtaining salvation because they put the burden of salvation on man. They teach that through our adhering to a rigid standard of dos and don'ts, we make ourselves acceptable unto God. But God revealed in James 2:10 that if you keep the whole Law and yet offend in one point, you are guilty of all. This is where the religions of the world have missed it. They have all sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). Man cannot save himself; he has to have a savior.
So God sent His Son Jesus in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh that we might come into right standing with God (Rom. 8:3-4). We are made acceptable to God through who Jesus is and what He did (Eph. 1:6). Jesus said of Himself that He was the only way unto the Father (John 14:6). Peter said in Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." God is the only One who could provide salvation for man, through Jesus; and any other attempts to approach unto God, regardless of how sincere they may be, will end in total failure with the result of eternal death.
Most church-going people in America can accept all of this regarding other religions easily. But what many have failed to see is that much of what is called Christianity today is nothing but religion. By that, I mean that many people are going through the motions of Christianity thinking that their observance of Christian virtues will help them obtain salvation. But it is possible to be caught up in the trap of trying to be justified by your church attendance and financial receipts, just as much as the man who burns incense to idols to appease the gods.
Hebrews 5:9 says that Jesus is the author of eternal salvation, therefore His judgement is the only one that counts. Many people trust the fact that their names are on a church roll or that they have "IN GOD WE TRUST" written on their coins, but that's not the standard that Jesus used to administer salvation.

God loves you and wants to draw you closer to Himself. He has made it easy by sending His son to deliver the Good News and show The Way. Begin the rest of your life by saying yes right now.
