Who believes the Baptist Churches is of full of sh!T?
They regard the gospels of Paul more important than that of Jesus.
Then they say if u are baptised in their church, you are free from sin and don't have to work for your salvation.
Jesus said you must work for your salvation by doing the works of God, and baptists say no, onced baptised you don't.

CAICOS TURKEY: You are right,
baptists and Lutherans believe once saved, always saved, but that is not true, you must still work for salvation, by doing good, and not sin.

Paul writes about working out our salvation with fear and trembling Philippians 2:12-13. The Book of Revelation warns us about being blotted out of the Book of Life. Rev 3:5 "He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
The reference to the Book of Life is only understandable in the context of the whole story of mankind's rdemption, after the fall. God told Adam and Eve: "the day you will eat the fruit of the tree, you will surely die." And when they ate the fruit of the tree, they indeed died spiritually. Death and separation came because of their sin. But God did not left them without a solution. He gave the Law to Moses. And according to the Law, all things are purified by the blood.
According to the Law it was necessary to sacrifice the lamb at altar in order to get the forgiveness of sin. Those who obtained the forgiveness of sin or those who reconciled with God by the blood of the Lamb, their names were written in the Book of Life. That's why God called it "Book of Life". Those who got life through the blood of the Lamb - Jesus Christ who gave His life for us, their names will be written in the Book of Life.
When Israelites sinned against God and when God got angry, Moses prayed this prayer in Exodus 32:32, "Yet now, if You will forgive their sin; but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written. And the Lord said to Moses in Exodus 32:33, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book." And the same thing Jesus told in Revelation 3:5 that, "those who overcome shall be clothed in white garments, and He will not blot out their names from the Book of Life."
Many are deceived into thinking that, "Once saved, always saved". But it is not truth. If you are saved, if your name is written in the Book of Life, and still you are living in sin then it is possible that God will blot out your name from the Book of Life. If you are saved, you need to walk in His holiness and in His will. You are not yours but you belongs to God. The Bible says in James 1:12, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."

I'm not a Christian, but I would agree with you. If salvation is merely by accepting Jesus as a "personal savior", then it wouldn't matter what else you would do, you would still go to heaven.
Why, then, did Jesus go around preaching about how to behave? He spend an awful lot of time doing it. If salvation is by faith alone, then Jesus must sure have liked to hear himself talk, because that would have been the only reason for him doing it.

Well, I can realize how intricate it might be opting for a church, as there are over 2000 sects of christianity to pick from. Your publish features to a fireplace and brimstone, fundamentalist church ("No skirt will ever inform ME what to do!" to paraphrase). Are you a predestinarian? Then a first-rate Calvinist church maybe correct up your alley. But the unlucky side with calvinists is, you are not ever particularly definite if you're "of the opt for". Jehova's Witlesses (sorry, typo, I supposed Witness) undoubtedly do not consider in any of that pagan excursion nonsense...however the hindrance is, you are no longer side of the customary tribes, so that you ought to continue to exist the outskirts of heaven. Sounds like you wish to have a well historic fundie baptist church. You can uncover one each and every block close any trailer park within the south. Good good fortune for your seek!

the preaching of bible deeply involves Jesus for he is the only way via which every one can be saved the preachings about Paul should be what he did but not as his message to people can be more in comparism than that of Jesus so in the whole story when it comes to take about Paul the church should equaly talk and not that the teachings of gosels should be about Paul

Neither are really important, except perhaps as examples of how people thought in primitive times. There are no gods.
You're arguing over different interpretations of a fairytale. It is all just superstition.

The Bible warns you to be careful which prophets you follow least you get the mark of the beast.
It's up to each individual to take care of themselves.

once you accept jesus christ as your saviour then you are saved, period. you cannot lose your salvation, nor do you have to "work" to maintain it. it says in the bible, "works alone will not get you to heaven".
