Do you want to go to Heaven? How to be saved!
Do you want to go to Heaven?
Hoy to be saved.
The way is through the Messiah The anointed One. His name is
Yeshua Hamashiach in the
Hebrew and He was predicted from of old to come and remove sin
that separates you from God. (Genesis 3:15)
The church is the Gateway to God.
The anointed one who was born nearly 2000 years ago said "No man comes to the Father except by me". Isaiah says- 7:14
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. And Isaiah 9:6 Says- For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
How do you enter into the church -The called out body of
believers?
We must hear the words of Christ-
Romans 10:17- So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the
word of Christ.
Acts 18:8- And Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.
We must believe the gospel (good news of Messiah) -wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the
foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
We must repent of our sins
Acts 2:38-And Peter said to them, Repent, and let each of
you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness
of your
sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 17:30-31- Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should
repent, 31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the
world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.
We must Confess the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One! Acts 8:37-[And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart,
you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ
is the Son of God. ]
Romans 10:10- for with the heart man believes, resulting in
righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in
salvation.
*We must be Baptized
Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus) said in Matthew 28:19- Go therefore
and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, NASB Jesus also said in Mark 16:15-16- 15And he said unto them, Go ye
into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He
that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.
Jesus did not say "believeth or be baptized", but rather believeth and is baptized. Those of you who teach that baptism is not necessary for salvation please quit
lying and twisting the Lord's commands.
There are no instances of infant baptism in the New Testament.
Baptism is a burial- Romans 6:4- Therefore we have been buried
with Him through baptism into death, in order that as Christ was
raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too
might walk in newness of life.
Baptism is in water - See Acts 8:36-39; Acts 10:47-48 *Baptism is to wash away sins- See Acts 22:16- 'And now why do
you delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.'
*Baptism saves- See 1 Peter 3:21- And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but
an appeal to God for a good conscience through the resurrection
of Jesus Christ,
*Baptism makes you a son by placing you IN Christ- See Gal. 3:26-27- For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have
clothed yourselves with Christ. (Note: If you are not
baptized
you are not clothed with Christ, i.e. you are not in Christ,
i.e.
you are out of Christ, i.e. you are unsaved.}
*Because we are Sons of God through Baptism, we receive the Holy
Spirit. See Gal 4:6-And because you are sons, God has sent forth
the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba Father *Baptism places us into One Body the Body of Messiah, the church:
See 1 Cor. 12:13-For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one
body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were
all made to drink of one Spirit.
We do not have to speak in Tongues. See 1 Cor 13:8-Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. See 1 Cor. 12:30-All do not have
gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do
they?
