The following teacher is such a wonderful blessing for all.
There seems to be a lot of confusion thereby putting people off Christianity.
SAVED ( Justified) - only by faith and accepting Christ as Lord and Savior
Savior - He rose from the dead so we who believe and accept that CAN ( if also striving to turn from sin AND accepting Christ as Lord of our life ) have eternal life.
Sanctification - Admit to Christ that we are sinners and strongly want to not sin (repent) - we must desire and strive to reject sin, oh we are still going to sin every day till our last breath in so many ways but we say sorry and ask Him for help.
Believers sins are forgiven, no longer do we ask for forgiveness but instead we confess and apologize
Christ as Lord of our lives, now that part continues to confuse me so any input is welcome
WORKS, works DO NOT save you, they instead demonstrate the fruits of being justified, genuine from the heart works will be tested by fire at BEMA- The Judgement Seat of Christ and Heavenly rewards given accordingly.
GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT -- dont go there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saved and no works equals entry to Heaven but no rewards
