paxonel: we are all saved. so long were born into a christian home and not in the family of any other religion.we are saved because we belong to the Christian faith called Christianity and not in any other religion
the point is most times when we read bible we fail to see the picture what the bible is trying to let us see
Romans 10:1 Paul says Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
this point to the fact that Israel a country for the jews who had the old covenant through Abraham belong to a religion known as Judaism just like Muslims belonging to a religion known as islam therefore the jews were not saved
Judaism ( Jews) had their righteousness through the law of moses which was not enough, so they needed the righteousness of God through Christ (the founder of Christianity) for them to be saved
Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
that means Judaism(the Jews ) also believe in God just like Islam believe in God,yet they were not saved
that also means that for them to be saved they must have the knowledge which is to abandon their Judaism to join Christianity which is the religion Jesus christ established
and the only way they could join christianity was for them to believe in Jesus by being convinced in the heart that Jesus is the Messiah (the coming Christ )
Romans 10:9 says That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
to confess there is the point where they are truly convinced.at that point they they will exclaim OF A TRUTH THAT JESUS WE CRUCIFIED IS THE MESSIAH. that is the confess, confession is exclamation
so salvation is simply a change of religion, from any religion into Christianity
Romans 8:1 says There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
to be in Christ Jesus there means to be in Christianity and not in any other religion, that also means every Christian do not walk after the flesh but after the spirit because Jesus Christ (the founder of Christianity )is the holy spirit in us
Christianity is our faith. we are justified into salvation by Christianity our faith and not by works
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
You can see that churches (especially in Africa ) have not been telling us the truth, all of them.

Christianity is a deep religion..you can only know all about it through constant study of the word!
