Salvation can never be based on one’s personal experience. Never.

Why? Because thousands of people have different “salvation” experiences. Which one is right? Who knows? And many are only experiences - not reality.

Salvation can only be based on scripture. If you want to limit it even more precisely, the words of our Lord Jesus Himself. His own words are sufficient for one to find and experience true salvation - freedom from one’s own guilt and sin, into the love of God.

Really quite an odd and errant statement.

Wasn’t the Apostle Pauls Salvation based on his own personal experience with Jesus on the road to Damascus? In fact the new testament scriptures had not yet been written, so how could his Salvation have been based on them?

There is also a false hypnotic Salvation experience (One that is most prevalent in the Churches today) We need to be able to discern the difference.

And yes, Scripture can help a person find that experience no doubt.

You are right. There is only one God, one Way, and many will try to convince you that they have it. YOu do have to look into this yourself, go to the website and read what Roy haas to say and see if it resonates with what you know deep down. You do have to commit to what you personally believe. Alot of us start out going to the churches we were raised in, thinking that is the only way. Then when it doesn’t satisfy, we go looking for the truth some of us. And some of us even find the way on our own.
