A Question for Jehovah Witnesses about Requirements for Salvation?

Question

What are the Watchtower Organization's requirements for salvation?

I was reading a Watchtower article that stated 4 requirements for salvation....

1). Studying the Bible.
2). Obey God’s laws by conforming one’s life to the moral requirements set out in the Bible.
3). Be associated with God’s channel, his organization because Jehovah is using only one organization today to accomplish his will.
4). Be a loyal witness; God requires that prospective subjects of his Kingdom support his government by loyally advocating his Kingdom rule to others.

I assume #3 is referring to the Watchtower Organization meaning you have to become a Jehovahs Witness to be saved, but correct me if I'm wrong. Are these 4 requirements basically it? Are there others? I would appreciate only serious answers to this question as I am trying to learn. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Answer 1

Not a JW, but I know you MUST be baptized or you are never a JW.

Oh yeah, you also MUST go door to door too. They won't disfellowship you if you don't but they will hint that your salvation will not come.

Just FYI

Answer 2

That is a summary.

1. Surely you agree that you need to take in knowledge from the Bible to be saved, or else how will you know what is required of you by God?

John 17:3- "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."

2. That one covers a lot of things found all through out the Bible. Long list.

3. Jehovah has always had a single channel of communication. There was only one ark, only one nation (Israel) and only one Christian congregation in the first century. Logically, he is using only one organization today. There's too much contradiction even between "similar" groups that it is not possible for God to be using ALL religions today. God is a God of order, not confusion.

His will is that the good news be preached to people of all nations, and that requires organization. By associating with a local congregation, we take in more knowledge of God at the right time and in a regular manner. We become better equipped to handle the word of God aright.

Jehovah's Witnesses are thus able to accomplish their ministry in an organized and effective manner. No confusion there.

4, That emphasizes the preaching work as well.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

that's well-known of the Hubrisitic delight the smug governing physique of Jehovah's Witnesses reflects because it lines to squeeze out the putrid dung that passes for religious nutrition in the watchtower. they rather believe they're the only ones to stay to tell the tale the tip of the international and that the Bible is their belongings. for my area, that's the top of Douchebaggery*.

Answer 4

5) Love everyone(of every culture, race, social status, age, and religion)
6)Preach the good news (Matthew 24:14)
7) Love god above all things
8) Put him in first place
9) do onto other's as you would like them to do to you...
And so on...

Answer 5

The Jehovah's Witnesses are teaching heresy. Consider that what Jesus Christ did on Calvary was sufficient to procure salvation for everyone on earth who will trust Him for their salvation.

We can't do anything to earn salvation. Works are a result of our salvation - not the cause of it. Otherwise Christ died in vain if we can earn it by ourselves.

Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us it is by Grace through faith and that is not of ourselves but a "gift" of God. When someone gives you a gift it is free - not earned.

Answer 6

They forgot acknowledging that Jesus is our lord and Savior, and that no one can get to Father if it is not through the son.

I do not belong to a religion, just me and God!
