christian way of SALVATION?
2007-12-24 11:58:23 · 10 answers · asked by Theban 5 in Society & Culture ➔ Religion & Spirituality
I'm a very unusual Christian, not even sure if that is what I am. However, with the love I have for God, and Christ and all they give me on a daily basis, I do not need anything more than their love and to share what I believe, and act as I believe to move on to the next step. I don't think I can accept Christians view on salvation. God is quite capable of forgiving me without help from anyone anywhere. I don't believe Christ had to die in order for me to be "saved".
peace

Because Jesus IS salvation (It's actually what His name means).
If you cannot recieve salvation now, then live His doctrine (that is, if you truly believe His doctrine). Later on, you'll see the need for salvation and be able to recieve.

you are in error in your thinking because being a Christian IS accepting Jesus Christ and His life and His words/doctrine.
it is the same thing. Jesus is the one that said,
Mark 16:16
"Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
so if you believe Jesus' doctrine, why don't you believe the christian way of being saved? they are the same thing.

Because w/o it you'll go to Hell. Please see Acts 2:38 for the plan of salvation. John 3:5 is also a very direct/good response to your question.

Because the doctrines of Yeshua say it is so.

I'll answer with the teaching of Yeshua - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5)
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (John 3:7)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17)
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (John 3:19)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
Hbr 1:1 ¶ God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hbr 4:14 ¶ Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
Hbr 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Well... He said "I am the way the truth and the life; NO MAN cometh unto the Father BUT BY ME "... that's pretty specific.. You can't pick and chose which part to believe.. It's all or nothing...

You don't, and since it is entirely fictitious, neither does anyone else.
