true salvation?

Question

I believe that Jesus Christ is God in the Flesh.
I believe that He died for my sins to save me from hell, and that He was resurrected the 3rd day from the dead.
I asked Him to pardon me of all my sins and come into my heart and save me.
I trust ONLY in Him for my salvation. (Not works, baptism, etc)

Am I saved, according to the Bible?

Answer 1

The only way to be saved and go to heaven and not eternal hell is by believing that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Water baptism is not required for salvation, and it cannot save anyone. It is only for those who are already saved.

So YES, you are 100% saved by Jesus according to the Bible :)

Salvation is a one-time event, it happens fully in the moment you believe the above about Jesus, and it is impossible to lose salvation (1 John 5:13).

Answer 2

Sorry but you got the theology wrong, Jesus is not the one who forgives your sin according to the Bible--God the father is because He accepts the sacrifice of Jesus as payment for your spiritual debt.

Also nowhere does the Bible teach that Jesus "comes into your heart" the holy spirit is the one who does that.

Plus the apostles also taught that you have to be baptized into the "body of Christ" right after believing all the above to become a member of Christ's church.

I'm guessing you're really an atheist making fun of Christian belief system at this point given your ignorance of Scripture--amirite?

Answer 3

Yes, in a sense, but your actual salvation is not fulfilled until the last day. What you have at the moment is the deposit of the Holy Spirit which guarantees that salvation.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

Ephesians 1:13-14:

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.

This is why Paul says in Philippians 2:12-13:

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

Answer 4

Absolutely

Answer 5

Man can not say if a person is saved or not. We are suppose to examine ourself to see if were are in the faith. 1 John 1-5 was written to examine yourself to see if you are in the faith.

Answer 6

If you believe in your heart these things about Jesus and you understand what sin is,and truly turn from it-only truly possible through teaching by the Holy Spirit,once you have believed;then yes.

Answer 7

No, the bible says nothing. You are saved according to the interpretations someone has drawn out of an ancient text into the modern day. Nothing more, nothing less.

Answer 8

No.

Luke 5:32, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." and also Luke 13:3, "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."

John 3:3, "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."


Just acknowledging Jesus isn't enough: Shortly after John 3:16, it tells us in verse 21, "But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." Also, James 2:19-26 says, "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." Some people claim that they are Christian, so that they feel they are going to heaven, but if they don't turn from their wicked lifestyle, then they aren't living up to their professed faith.

On the other hand, we cannot earn our salvation: Eph 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." But notice that in verse 10 it says, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." I believe it's telling us that we can't be 'saved' by our works, but we are suppose to live a Godly life as a Christian. We aren't to claim we are Christians, and then go out and continue to live in the world.

Becoming more Christ-like is a growing process: Have you noticed how nobody becomes perfect in all their ways the moment they accept Christ? I believe there is a growing process we go through called sanctification. 1 Thessalonians 5:23, "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Timothy 2:22, "Flee also youthful lusts: but follow (pursue) righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart."

Answer 9

According to the Bible, yes.

Answer 10

If you truly believe it in your heart, Yes! Gives me goosebumps. You are going to live forever in the Kingdom of Heaven.
