Only the ones like yourself, that have not received God's great free gift of salvation that has been provided by Jesus Christ, Romans 5:18.

You deny the saving efficacy of Christ's Blood, stating that sinners He shed His Blood for remain unsaved, unredeemed and lost!

Nothing, absolutely nothing is your if it is not received by faith. Christianity is a faith religion. We are called to have faith, believe and received what Christ has done for us, John 1:12.


The only Faith that pleases God is a Fruit of the Spirit given in New Birth Gal. 5:22.

But the carnal man's faith is a work of the flesh which cannot please God Rom. 8:8.


1 Cor. 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.


Salvation is not of works Eph. 2:9. So before New Birth believing / faith is a work of the mind:


ergon, G2041:

II. any product whatever, any thing accomplished by hand, art, industry, or mind

And with regard to John 1:12, the verse is clear that those who received him, are them that believe Gal. 5:22 on His name.

You continue to cleave to the dishonoring of Christ , saying that sinners He died for are still lost !

One of the works of the Holy Spirit is to lead us unto the truth, John 16:13.

If you hear the Gospel and do not come out of your religion and trust in Christ alone, you are not saved.

Where does scripture written to this age of grace say that?

Romans 10:9 tells us how to receive salvation and except for the two requirements listed in Romans 10:9 we do not have to know any other truths ( except for what it takes for us to understand what Romans 10:9 requires)

Are you suggesting that until you the scriptures perfectly backwards and forwards and have understanding of all mysteries and have all knowledge we cannot be saved?

All through the Old Testament and into the New Testament people are justified by faith. In the New Testament they are justified by faith in Christ and his Gospel.

Religion is not of faith. Religion is man's attempt to justify himself by the works of the law.

Paul said, "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin" Romans 3:20.

How many religious people do you know that will confess Jesus as their only means of salvation?
