All who believe are saved. Salvation comes through faith. Faith is evident by works. But works do not lead to salvation, only faith does.

The thief on the cross had faith in Christ, and he was saved. What did he do to be saved? Was he baptized? Did he finish a course on his faith? Did he tithe? Did he live a good life? Did he dedicate him time and effort to the church.

No, he simply had faith. He believed.

Any church that teaches that there is a formula for salvation, or any church that teaches that your salvation cannot be assured, is teaching a false gospel. For the gospel (the good news) is that Christ died for ALL men, and any who believes in him will not perish, but will have everlasting life.

Is faith without works dead?
