Salvation!

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 NKJV
[1] Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, [2] by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. [3] For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, [4] and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

The {miracle of salvation} as God became man a dwelt among us in form of a man, Jesus the Christ the Son of the living God.....Philippians 2:7-9 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
[SUP]8 [/SUP]And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:...Jesus brings us life eternal by His sinless blood, Jesus made the only way for our redemption, as Jesus took our place and Jesus took our sins on our behalf, so we are reconciled to the Father......John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.....................And now Jesus being our Savior & Lord it is so overwhelming that we have been made whole, and have been forgiven through Jesus Christ our Lord...now having eternal life forever with our God.....John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God......thank you Jesus, thank you Father and Holy Spirit, as we are new creations in Christ Jesus having been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb...Now we cry out Abba Father, as we have become children of the Most High God set apart unto His good will servants of God...Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.....Love you my dear Savior, My Abba, thank you Holy Spirit.....in all things I give you praise....Sherril...

my understanding about salvation

1. It is a grace, in the sense we not deserve for, but it doesn't mean no requirement. It require faith.

some people think, grace mean no requirement, but bible teach salvation is grace with requirement ( john 3:16)

2. There is correlation between salvation and love.

salvation produce love. John 15 tell about branch will produce fruit if it abide to the vine

save person is like a branch that a bide to the vine, if branch not abide to the vine anymore, it will be cut, and cast in to fire

it mean not save.

John 15
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

so there is correlation between love and salvation. If a man declare he is born again and save but not show love to fellow man, he is a liar, he is not save, it doesn't matter whether he is a big pastor or church leader.

3. Miracle not evident of salvation but love is

matt 7

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jesus inform us in these verse that there are some people, who prophecies and perform miracles but not save

You must be born again, without being born agian you cannot see the kingdom of God so there would be no way for you to know to believe, repent or to be baptized. So baptism is not being born again because if you are not born again you would not know that you need to be baptized or repent or believe.

John 3:3 “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Also notice in Romans 6:3-4 "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."

As you read on in Romans 7:6 Paul tells us what this newness of life is. “But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.”

Which mean that Paul in Romans 6 is not talking about water baptism, but the baptism of the Spirit by which we are all made a member of the body of Christ.

I Corinthians 12:12-13 “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.”

Outside of the book of Acts there are no Scripture that speak of water baptism. The closes one is I Peter 3:20-21 "because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,"

Notice that our baptism corresponds or an anti-type to the water that brought safely through water. We are brought into union with Chirst through the baptism of the Spirit and into His death and resurrection as mentioned on Romans 6.

12 [FONT=&quot]Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.[/FONT]
