The Bible says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life".. Believing in Jesus Christ here is not just believing that Jesus exists alone, but believing that Jesus died for your sin, and you also displaying evidences of righteous after applying the benefits of His death into your life. So please be careful of watered-down doctrines that tells you that if you believe in Jesus Christ, while still in sin, you will go to heaven.. Again, your sins are recorded by God, but cleaned up only if your repent.

"Repent ye therefore and be converted". You cannot be a fornicator, thief, adulterer claiming Christ paid it all, without appropriating the blood of Jesus Christ into your life with evidences of righteousness. You also show a proof by stopping those sins.

Revelation 22:15 showd that even a single lie can take someone to hell.

Even this one is not balanced doctrine.


Peter Denied him and never told him he was sorry

Disciples stole from someone's farm and never restituted yet Jesus defended them and never rebuked them.

many other instances in the bible.

Salvation is NOT by works.

REWARD is by works.

heaven is not a REWARD.... it is HOME.


I am not going to water is down BUT I really need balance.

We don't look for consolation doctrines. If you stole government money, you don't console yourself, you return it. Zaccheus returned his and added extra. no excuse for nonsense.

Just shut up! Your likes are the cause of the problems we have in the world today. Galatians 3:3!

An indoctrinated fellow spotted. Who wrote the Bible that say...? Why will a loving God continue to procreate people in non Christians country to multiply so that he can continue sending them to hell. So the only offence of people that live in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other non religious country is because they were born there.

How will God come down to earth and sacrifice himself for himself because he wanted to redeem us to himself. It doesn't make sense but it made sense to Christians.

Let me ask you, why are you a Christian? Because you're born to a Christian parent. God should know that your salvation is by your geographical location you're born. If you're born in Saudi Arabia to muslin family your saviour would have been Mohammed. SMH

You quote John 3:16. Then you say... Believing doesn't just mean what was said in the same John 3:16 you quoted. Please, should we get you a dictionary to show you what believing is?

All y'all fraud con artists! Spits! Adding and subtracting to and from the Bible just to pass your point.

Jesus Christ Himself so many times while He was on earth gave the singular criterion for salvation.

Just when He was gonna raise Lazarus from the dead, He engaged Martha.

John 11: 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. 28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.


That is Salvation. It is either of two things; you are intentionally doing all these for profitable gains or you are innocently ignorant! If the latter is the ish, then read! Don't concoct things. Jeez!

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Finally, I leave you with this since you obviously didn't read it the first time.

Galatians 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Jesus didnt instruct him, he chose to. The LOVE OF GOD COMPELLED HIM TO, NOT THE FEAR OF GOD. yes, be balanced.

ikh777:

Yes, the working power and spirit of love of God in him compelled him to because it is written through believe we recieve His Spirit, and it is written the anointing you receive as the truth with no lie will teach you all things. Which means the Spirit of God speaks to our spirit and conscience (soul) so as to apply faithfully as His son because wisdom is the application of knowledge. IT IS YOUR DUTY TO OBEY because it is written He that led by the Spirit is above the law- since the law breeds fear but does the liberty and love of Christ gives us license abuse his instruction...? NO!

And how fast we obey? It is written do not be slow to believe. To believe is to know, do, and speak.

WILL THE REPROBATE ONES WHO DEFILES GOD'S INSTRUCTION INHERIT THE KINGDOM? Some people are wilfully hardened for eternal destruction! Romans 9.
