Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (30) Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
1. God chooses those whom He will save
2. The Holy Spirit calls them to a confession of faith
3. The believer is now justified and the work of sanctification begins
4. Finally the believer is glorified either at death or at Christ's coming
The issue of repentance starts with the confession of faith. The first thing God calls a person to repent of is their unbelief and then the Holy Spirit brings conviction of areas of sinful behavior during the process of sanctification.

FOLLOW ISLAM: Monotheism is the Way to Salvation
· ISLAM calls for the worship to One God. if you believe in One God then you must worship that one, without partners such as buda Jesus saints. no mediators between man & god direct worship to god alone, salvation is there. worship Allah (God) you have no other god to worship except Him
· BE MUSLIM & WIN SALVATION; JOIN YOURSELF WITH THE CLUB OF THE PROPHETS WHO WORSHIPPED NO SON, NOR DAUGHTER FOR THE ONE GOD. YOU WILL FAIL TO FIND ANY PROPHET WHO WORSHIPPED A SON WITH THE ONE GOD.
· salvation in the hereafter. there is no greater happiness & peacefulness that we believe in the oneness of god without adding to him any part
· SALVATION IN ISLAM
· In Islam, charity washes the heart, not the death of heart that never dies.
· We worship God because we need His salvation, His reward, and because we fear His Hell and punishment.
· How come that people seek salvation from those who are not creators.
· Since Allah is My Only Creator, then He must be to me My Only Savior of whom I supplicate, pray to Him for my salvation in this world and the one to come. Jesus (Peace be with him) worshiped God, hoping His mercy, fearing His punishment.
· All the Prophets used to be the way Allah described them: “They used to hasten to good deeds, and supplicate Us in hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive.” (21:90)
· SALVATION IN CHRISTIANITY
· The Christian concept of salvation commits many crimes: 1. It gives equal result for those who worked well & those who worked evil. 2. It deforms the mercy of god. 3. It deforms the justice of god. 4. It corrupts the encouragement for doing Th good. 5. It encourages people to cancel the law & to sin while depending on a promise of love & forgiveness while neglecting that sins anger god.
· Christian concept of salvation shows god as unforgiving. 2. That he is unjust god is careful for the sinners, careless for those who were ill treated! should we be looking for another god to die for the rights of the ill-treated ones?
· (God died for our sins) this is the wrong doctrine that stands behind every corruption; it caused them to neglect the commandments & the Law of god.
· The true teaching is to teach people that they must commit themselves to the low of god, not to free themselves from it. Jesus was comitted to the Law of Moses.
· What happens if people free themselves from the Law of god & from the fearing of his punishment or wishing his reward tomorrow? They will be eating one another, killing, rubbing, cheating, fornicating, raping
SALVATION IS THROUGH WORKS NOT THROUGH MERE WORDS.
· Mathew5: 19 & 13:41 contradict with the Christian idea of salvation.
· Mathew 7:Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
· (Math13:41) The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42: And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43: Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
· If you believe that Jesus died for your sin, and as soon as you die you go to paradise: then go ahead kill yourself, if Jesus died for you then wish to die if you are truthful
· Math16:27): For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
· "Not every one that says to me; `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven." (Mt.7: 21).
· (Mathew5:20) “Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
· (James2:14) “What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? can faith save him?”
· (Mathew7:22) “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
· (psalm49:7) “None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:”
· THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKS IN NEW T.
· (Rev22:12) Jesus said, “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
· (1corin3:13) “And the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.”
· (Acts10:34) “God is no respecter of persons, But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him.”
· THE BOOK OF JAMES
· Read the book of James to find that belief without works is false. "as a body apart from spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead" that's what james say in the new testament.
· (JAMES1:22) “But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
· (James2: 24) ”You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only… 26: For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
· (Roman2:12) “For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13: For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
· (1john3:18) “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.”
· (Galatians5:21) “Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings… those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” (1corin5:21).
· SALVATION & WORKS IN THE OLD T.
· I agree with the torah, the sacrifice used to be through animals, as charity to be given to the poor people afterwards, but not through the creator of animals
· (2Sam23:39) “The LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.”
· (Ezek18:20). “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.”
· (Ezekiel 18:20) “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
· how can Jesus die for the sins of people and then he promise them that he will judge them according to their works?
· (Ezek14:14) “They should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.”
