Is ‘Salvation’ Simply Believing in Jesus?

God's requirement for Christians to RUN their spiritual RACE - Hebrews 12:1-2

The Bible says that SIMPLY BELIEVING in Jesus Christ relates to having one’s level of faith to that of Satan’s devils (James 2:19). These devils actually KNOW Jesus (Luke 8:30-31).

Salvation requires effort, conditions, and the production of spiritual fruit, which opposes modern church beliefs.
The book identifies Initial Salvation as a grace gift and Final Salvation as a process of spiritual growth to overcome Satan’s deceptions.
Christians must navigate two gospels: one of grace and one of obedience throughout their life, aiming for spiritual maturity.
Ultimately, genuine faith involves actively seeking the truth and adhering to God’s teachings, as detailed in the book.

The Eight Stages of Biblical Salvation

The image describes the eight stages of Initial and Final Salvation that are necessary for Salvation

This article will explain in detail the Eight Stages of Biblical Salvation necessary for Christians to avoid spending eternity in Hell.

Estimated reading time: 15 minutes

Key Takeaways

The article outlines the Eight Stages of Biblical Salvation necessary for Christians to attain eternal life.
Each stage is critical for understanding the spiritual journey toward salvation, emphasizing the need to run the race with patience.
Biblical Salvation develops through initial faith, striving to enter, experiencing the new birth, and growing spiritually as a babe and little child.
As Christians mature, they should aim to become strong young men, spiritual fathers, and ultimately good soldiers of Jesus Christ.
The failure to progress beyond the early stages can lead to spiritual stagnation and the risk of eternal separation from God.

The New Birth

Many preachers claim that if an unsaved person accepts Christ as their Savior, they have experienced the New Birth, or “born again”. However, can such a claim be justified in scripture?

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

Key Takeaways

The New Birth, or being born again, signifies a spiritual transformation initiated by God, which allows one to perceive the state of God’s kingdom.
This transformation parallels the natural birth, where God’s word acts as the seed together with the human heart as the spiritual soil.
As an unborn child
The New Birth addresses the curse of sin inherited from Adam and Eve, enabling direct spirit-to-spirit communication with God once a person is born again.
Being born again is a prerequisite for salvation, and one’s spiritual growth is guided by biblical teachings and truths.
The article encourages readers to verify its claims with trusted church members and invites comments for discussion.

I question this because of my own ‘New Birth’ experience (John 3:8). What happened at this time was that God placed a “new heart” within me (Ezek 36:26). This experience allowed me to “see” the state of God’s kingdom inside the churches, which to me was horrific.

Let me explain.

Parable of the Education System

Jesus Christ used parables to describe what the Kingdom of Heaven was like. This article represents a modern-day parable of the education system. As such systems of education are found in many countries, they are used to illustrate the Biblical truth about Salvation and how God expects His people to progress and mature from beginning (Initial Salvation) to the end (Final Salvation).

The scripture verse that underscores the message in this post is this:

“It is written in the prophets, And THEY [ALL truly 'born-again' Christians] shall be ALL TAUGHT [PERSONALLY] of God [the Father].  Every [truly 'born-again'] man [or woman] therefore that hath HEARD, and hath LEARNED of [God] THE FATHER, COMETH UNTO ME [Jesus at the Rapture].”  (John 6:45)

Estimated reading time: 11 minutes

Key Takeaways

The article presents a modern-day parable of the education system, illustrating the spiritual journey from Initial Salvation to Final Salvation.
Just as students progress through educational phases, Christians must grow in faith and understanding to achieve eternal life.
The parable details five levels of spiritual maturity: Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary, University, and Post Graduate levels of faith.
Each level requires Christians to engage in studying scripture and performing good works, ultimately leading to spiritual fruitfulness.
The message warns against reliance on human teachings and emphasizes the necessity of Bible-based knowledge for salvation, highlighting the importance of progressing in faith.

The Gospel of Initial and Final Salvation

Throughout the last two centuries of Christianity, the ‘gospel’ being preached centers upon Salvation through faith alone (Ephesians 2:9).

However, this Faith Alone ‘gospel’ fails to address the need for any accompanying “works” mentioned in Ephesians 2:10. In this, Paul said, we were “…created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them“.

Estimated reading time: 10 minutes

Key Takeaways

The article discusses the importance of both faith and works in achieving Initial and Final Salvation.
Initial Salvation occurs when a sinner accepts Christ, but it does not include works; Final Salvation requires works that produce spiritual fruit.
Scripture emphasizes the need for Christians to endure to the end, hold fast to hope, and demonstrate spiritual maturity through good works.
The article encourages readers to assess their faith journey and the signs of spiritual growth associated with Final Salvation.
Ultimately, both Initial and Final Salvation require a combination of faith and the fruits of works performed in a believer’s life.

Presenting — Jesus Christ’s TEN Commandments

Christ’s Commandments written on the tables of the human heart

Jesus Christ presented His Ten Commandments in the form of warnings that Christians should take notice, that their Salvation is at risk. If they ignore these warnings, they will NOT inherit eternal life with Him.

In this, Jesus said:

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”  (John 14:15)

The above verse could also be interpreted as saying:

“If ye [really and sincerely] love me [as you claim you do, then], keep [within your heart and OBEY each of] my commandments.”  (John 14:15)

Recently I discovered the following Ten Commandments of Jesus that are expressed in the form of ‘negative commandments’. In this, they are presented as warnings from Jesus for every Christian to take notice. As an example, one warning in John 3:5 says they “…CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD”.

Judas Iscariot and his Many Disciples

Most Christians cannot conceive that Judas Iscariot had many disciples, and these would continue on preaching his beliefs well after his death.

In the article ‘Are Only FEW Christians Saved“, it showed how the Bible reveals that only a “FEW” of God’s people have been ‘saved’. This statement applies to all of God’s people throughout the history of the Earth. To appreciate the facts behind this claim, it is worthy to first understand a little more about what the Bible reveals about Judas Iscariot.

Estimated reading time: 8 minutes

Key Takeaways

Many Christians struggle to see Judas Iscariot as a genuine disciple and apostle who preached successfully before his betrayal.
The article explores the spiritual aspects of Judas Iscariot, highlighting his fall from grace and warning of similar behaviors among modern Christians.
False teachings and the love of money characterize ‘Iscariotism,’ calling into question the motives of certain church leaders today.
Christians should evaluate their pastors against biblical principles to discern true discipleship from betrayal.
The true gospel requires commitment to self-denial, caring for the poor, and following Christ diligently, contrasting with false gospels that promote comfort and wealth.

Fake Preachers Preach Fake Gospels

If you are a Christian, you should be aware that fake preachers preach fake gospels that cannot save a soul from anything.

When the first Christians commenced spreading the True Gospel of Jesus Christ among the gentile nations, the Apostle Paul ultimately termed it “My Gospel” as stated in Rom 2:16 and Rom 16:25. This is because Paul’s Gospel contained a “mystery” (Eph 6:19) and that his Gospel had to be “obeyed” (Rom 10:16).

Paul ultimately concluded that it would be “his Gospel” used by Jesus Christ to judge Christians at ‘The Judgment’:

"In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL."  (Romans 2:16)
