Nowhere in scripture does it say we must be obedient to be saved. Ephesians 2:8 says we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God and not works, lest anyone should boast.

If you’re truly good, you’re gonna be serving God and you have to Have The Jesus of the Bible to go to Heaven, so You gotta read the Bible to make sure you have the right Jesus!
@@cindymcgee6564 to prove you’re not doing that, do the great commission witness to strangers about Jesus, / not showing off to the church, out in the field and you’ll be becoming a minister of the gospel! The harvest It’s Plentiful, and the laborers are few make a difference
You have really good programs that many appreciate but why do you use words that most of us do not even know which makes it very confusing. Thank you for being dedicated to teaching the truth.
Oh C’mon guys talk about God permitting Satan to do all those things to Job. That was funny as soon as he was about to say something about God Permitting Satan to do those things Aaron was like yeah let’s save that for another time.😂 C’mon I want to hear how you guys overcome that.
Job survived didn’t He? kept his frame of Mind didnt he and he kept his faith! God’s way of helping us get close to him is through suffering , because if you don’t do it, his way you go down the wide, easy road That leads To Eternal hell , so it’s your choice now!
I went to Panama not to long ago (this summer) to evangelize and met a wonderful older couple that didn’t speak my language (Marcos and Daisy). Marcos was blind, crippled, and deaf. I shared the gospel with them in their dwelling place and 2 hour later I carried Marcos’ stiff, frail, and week body into the water in order for him to obtain the remission of his sins through the blood of Jesus. Acts 17:30, ignorance isn’t an excuse
His wife was able to communicate that God was real and that in order to be saved he must believe, repent, confess in the Lord, and be baptized. He did just that, and the rest will be history for eternity while I sing joyfully with him in heaven
@happygolucky7112 - would someone born without the ability to see, hear, learn, or communicate even be accountable, any more than one born with a severe intellectual handicap? How would they even know what sin is? As far as I can tell, they wouldn’t know. They would be like an infant that has no ability to understand.
Why is this even a question? The Bible tells us that there is no one that is good, no not one. Romans 3:10-12 Not only that, scripture says that we are saved by grace through faith. That’s FAITH. Not about our behavior, ie, being good.
Oh, absolutely. Every good person shall go straight to heaven. However, just one lie or theft is enough to keep a person out. That is, no one is good except God alone. Yet, if you claim to be a Christian, mark carefully the words of the Lord Jesus Christ (in reference to the Holy Spirit), "Whoever believes in Me shall have rivers of living water flowing up from inside of him." Do you have those rivers of living water or are you not saved? The Christian faith is a relationship with Christ: no more and no less. If you are not 'seated in the heavenlies,' if you do not have a taste of heaven now through being filled with the Holy Spirit, then do not expect to go to heaven when you die! Christ died on a Cross so that we may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
"What number well the saved people" I'm sure glad you brought up SAVED PEOPLE. I've searched and searched the NT over and over and over from Matthew to Revelation and I just cannot find anywhere where saved people are referred to as THE BAPTIZED. That's mighty strange don't you think because BELIEVERS and UNBELIEVERS are all children of the devil and damned to hell until baptism. So I'm trying to figure out why all the inspired writers of the NT failed to understand this. They consistently (I mean a lot) referred to saved people as believers and unsaved as unbelievers. Why on earth would they do that when according to the CoC there is absolutely no difference in them. I'm sure there's a good answer for that, like they might have momentarily went uninspired at those exact times. You can't use SYNECDOCHE in this situation because according to you baptism is the final step and without it the rest of the steps are useless, what a dilemma.
1 Peter 3:21, Mark 16:16. People have been trying to prove Christ wrong in those verses for thousands of years now. I anticipate you will do the same, but could I ask you something? Jesus said belief and baptism save, do you believe that? Jesus said in John 3:5 it took being born of water and of spirit to enter the kingdom, do you believe that? To be saved is to be “in Christ” and out of the 169 times Paul writes that phrase he never once mentioned belief with it, he did mention baptism “into” Christ though. Keep pressing toward the upward call, I hope to see you in paradise one day.
"1 Peter 3:21, Mark 16:16. People have been trying to prove Christ wrong in those verses for thousands of years now. I anticipate you will do the same, but could I ask you something? Jesus said belief and baptism save, do you believe that?" Of course I do, but DO YOU?? There is no WATER in these verses (Mk 16:16-18 but Spirit Baptism is definitely there. 1 PETER 3:21 1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (NOT THE PUTTING AWAY OF THE FILTH OF THE FLESH, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Noah and his family were safe in the ark before the flood came, just as those being baptized are safe in Christ before their Baptism. Hebrews 11:7 By faith NOAH, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, PREPARED AN ARK TO THE SAVING OF HIS HOUSE; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. So we know that the ark saved them physically and that the flood waters did not take away their sins. You really want to know how the “like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us”? Y’all love Acts 2:38 and 2 verses from there Peter gives you the answer. Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, SAVE YOURSELVES FROM THIS UNTOWARD GENERATION. Noah and his family were literally saved from their “UNTOWARD GENERATION” BY the flood waters whereas those in Acts 2 were symbolically saving themselves from their “untoward generation” in baptism. Everyone baptized then continued to live among that “untoward generation” so there is no doubt of it being symbolic! That is exactly what baptism was and is a symbolic separation from the sinful world around us. ---- Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mrk 16:17 AND these signs shall follow them that BELIEVE; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; Mrk 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. There's no reason to believe that water BAPTISM is even being talked about in verse 16 since verses 17&18 that are connected to it with "AND" talk about gifts given in Spirit baptism, to those who believe. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to talk about water baptism (without mentioning WATER) in 16 and switch to gifts given in Spirit BAPTISM in part of the same sentence in the connected verses. Y'all are fixated on WATER BAPTISM and in a few years you'll have Jesus turning baptism into wine and Jesus walking on baptism. So if you BELIEVE and are SPIRIT BAPTIZED you will be saved. You guys see baptism and see water and vice versa. --- "Jesus said in John 3:5 it took being born of water and of spirit to enter the kingdom, do you believe that? " There you go again!! You see water and you read water baptism. JOHN 3:5 Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Joh 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.) Three births 1) Physical 2) Water 3) Spiritual ??? Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. - Only two births here Joh 3:15 That WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have eternal life. Joh 3:16 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. *CHRISTIAN BAPTISM HAD NOT YET BEEN INSTITUTED IT WOULD BE ABOUT THREE MORE YEARS . HOW COULD JESUS HAVE EXPECTED (JOHN 3:10 BELOW) NICODEMUS TO KNOW ABOUT CHRISTIAN BAPTISM. Jhn 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? I've got plenty more on this but I'm trying to keep it sorry because y'all don't like reading or are unable to read or both. --- To be saved is to be “in Christ” and out of the 169 times Paul writes that phrase he never once mentioned belief with it, he did mention baptism “into” Christ though. Keep pressing toward the upward call, I hope to see you in paradise one day. ---- Paul definitely says we are baptized into Jesus and when he does in all cases he means the same baptism that is mentioned in this verse. 1Co 12:13 For BY ONE SPIRIT ARE WE ALL BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. You won't see me in paradise if you continue in your works based cult. Now I have just ONE simple question for you. Why didn't you reply to my comment instead of diverting to y'all's favorite verses which don't really hold WATER!!! Your only have 3 or 4. So back to buy comment that you supposedly replied to. Here's the question: Why in the whole on the NT does none of the inspired writers when referring to people who are saved ever refer to them as THE WATER BAPTIZED (at least as the baptized) but ALWAYS without fail refer to them as believers? They also refer to unsaved as UNBELIEVERS. Very strange that they should use those two terms when believers and unbelievers are both equally lost.
Christianity never quite answers the question of what happened to all the truly good and honest people who lived before the time of Jesus, or all the civilizations in lands far away, are they all going to hell too? at least the LDS attempted to address that by blessing all those who came before. “I've seen all good people turn their heads each day , So satisfied I'm on my way” - Yes 😂😂😂
Acts 17:31 God had leniency based on how much he'd revealed himself to that people, but after the establishment of the church God expects everyone to convert to be saved.
I don't think we need to concern ourselves about that. That's up to God. What happened to those people will not save our souls. We should worry about being obedient to his will and let God worry about those things.
Deu 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, THAT WE MAY DO ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LAW. Funny how you go to the OT when it's suits you (like Naaman who DIDN'T have faith) even on things that apply to the LAW but you won't go back to something that was COMMANDED 😅 even though it was not under the Law!! 2Ch 29:25 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the COMMANDMENT of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for SO WAS THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD BY HIS PROPHETS. However in this case you're correct. If we you put yourself under a LAW (commands) "THAT WE MAY DO ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LAW", good luck on your PERFECT obedience. It's EITHER your PERFECT OBEDIENCE or Christ's perfect sacrifice.
1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God; THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that YE MAY BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD. John also wrote - John 20:31 But THESE ARE WRITTEN, THAT YE MIGHT BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; AND THAT BELIEVING YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME. Poor John he definitely wasn't CoC as he wasn't aware that BELIEVERS are damned to hell for eternity just like unbelievers without baptism. How on under earth did he become a disciple??
Grettings @cheeseman417, I hope you are having a wonderful day and God bless you so that you may dwell in the truth. Now answering your question, have you not read Acts 10:34 ? (KJV): "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." or Romans 2:11-16 (KJV): For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Those who died under the law of Moses will be judged by that law, and those who die under the law of Christ will be judged by it (Christians, those who have a covenant with Him). Similarly, those who hear the Gospel of Christ and choose not to follow it will be judged by the word He spoke. John 12:48 (KJV): "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." Those who died without knowing Christ or the law of Moses, which was specifically given to the Jews, will be judged according to the law written in their hearts-the moral principles they followed-and their conscience, which will bear witness along with their thoughts. These will either accuse or excuse them on the final day. Romans 2:14-15 explains that even those who did not have the written law(like the ten commandments from the law of Moses) could follow its principles naturally and will be judged accordingly. Ultimately, while it is important to understand how those who lived before Christ will be judged, it is crucial to focus on ensuring your own salvation from the imminent judgment by following the word of Christ. God’s judgment is fair and based on the knowledge and response each person has had .
@@stevencook4002you have to obey God in order to be faithful to his commandments. (Matthew 7:21-23). Faith alone will not save, it’s justified by good works that we do in obedience to God’s commandments (James 2:14-26).

John also wrote - John 20:31 But THESE ARE WRITTEN, THAT YE MIGHT BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; AND THAT BELIEVING YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME.
Poor John he definitely wasn't CoC as he wasn't aware that BELIEVERS are damned to hell for eternity just like unbelievers without baptism. How on under earth did he become a disciple??
Grettings @cheeseman417, I hope you are having a wonderful day and God bless you so that you may dwell in the truth.
Now answering your question, have you not read Acts 10:34 ? (KJV):
"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him."
or Romans 2:11-16 (KJV):
For there is no respect of persons with God.
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Those who died under the law of Moses will be judged by that law, and those who die under the law of Christ will be judged by it (Christians, those who have a covenant with Him). Similarly, those who hear the Gospel of Christ and choose not to follow it will be judged by the word He spoke. John 12:48 (KJV): "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day."
Those who died without knowing Christ or the law of Moses, which was specifically given to the Jews, will be judged according to the law written in their hearts-the moral principles they followed-and their conscience, which will bear witness along with their thoughts. These will either accuse or excuse them on the final day. Romans 2:14-15 explains that even those who did not have the written law(like the ten commandments from the law of Moses) could follow its principles naturally and will be judged accordingly.
Ultimately, while it is important to understand how those who lived before Christ will be judged, it is crucial to focus on ensuring your own salvation from the imminent judgment by following the word of Christ. God’s judgment is fair and based on the knowledge and response each person has had .
Good people will not be saved. Obedient people will be.
@@stevencook4002you have to obey God in order to be faithful to his commandments. (Matthew 7:21-23). Faith alone will not save, it’s justified by good works that we do in obedience to God’s commandments (James 2:14-26).
@@stevencook4002 sorry, wrong. Obedience is absolutely required for salvation. No one can be saved and then live whatever sort of lifestyle they want without losing that salvation!
@stevencook4002 - “And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” - Hebrews 5:9
@@austinholland8470 Faith alone absolutely saves according to Ephesians 2:8-9. Both Matthew and James were writing to Jews who were under the law. We gentiles are under grace. We cannot assume everything written in the Bible is to us gentiles. If you do, you wind up very confused about what or who to believe. Clearly different things were taught to the Jews than what Paul wrote in his epistles to the gentiles. It’s called rightly dividing the word of truth which we are told to do in 2 Timothy 2:15.
@@stevencook4002 where’s the scripture that proves that? Because James 2:17 would tell you you’re wrong. And also James is writing to Christians. Romans to Revelations are written to Christians. You’ve been severely misguided.
