just curious, since you don’t believe in the “one, holy, catholic and apostolic church” as the Nicene Creed states, which church do you belong to?

To: one Lord one faith one baptism

Actually I was saved when I was 19 years old, back in May of 1953 after I had attended a Non-Denominatioal Church/Chapel.

For over 3 years I had heard: “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

The message was enhanced to me that night, by hearing: “If you do and go to hell, it will be because you never asked the Lord to save you!” He said, you may be a member of this church, you may be in the choir, or be a deacon, but have never “Called on the name of the Lord,you are not saved but, you can ask the Lord to save you right now,tonight.”

And I did, and I have never had any doubt about the indwelling, and presence of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Praise God, I did not earn, or deserve eternal life, it was by His mercy, grace and his gift that He saved me!”

Tell me how you came to know Jesus Christ as your Saviour! I know you know He (Jesus) added to the church daily such as would be saved.”

Some tell you, you have to be baptized to be saved, and you must be a member of their church to go to heaven. Others say you have to keep the law, and the Sabbath. Others, say you cannot go to heaven, unless you believe the in the literal blood and body is in the elements as you remember Hin in His death.

I’m just so thankful, God in His holy soveriegnty, did not say that in: “To as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God.” (John 1:12)
Neither did he add all these in John 3:16-17. Nor in Romans 10:9-10 or Romans 10:13)

Our God said: Receive; believe, repent and call and we shall be saved!

Man (and Satan) make salvation complicated/God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ keeps it simple, where even a child can receive and believe!

We can claim the promise in Phil. 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that He that hath begun a good work in you
will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

And we know: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” (1 Peter 1:23)
