Without remission of sins, Hell is the reward.
**Romans ch 10 v 9-10:”That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from death you will be saved, for it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”**
Written to people already born again:
Romans 1:7 “To all that be at Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints...”.
They were reminded of their conversion here:
Rms 6:3; “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?”
4. “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:....” (That’s certainly not Spirit baptism, because the Spirit is life.) “..that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the GLORY of the FATHER, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
5 “For if we have been planted together in the LIKENESS of his death, we shall be also in the LIKENESS of his resurrection.”
“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being THEN made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.” 6:17,18
**Romans ch 10 v 13:”Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”.**
Let’s keep it in context by continuing:
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent?..” Rms 10:14,15
Now go back to Acts to see how these preachers preached to the lost, starting with Acts 2:14, and coming to the part where the convicted souls ask, “Men and brethern, what shall we do?”
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost”. Acts 2:38
I can’t see anything in your post #35 that I disagree with, or anything that contradicts what I wrote. If we disagree on anything I wrote please point it out so I can compare our viewpoints on the issue in question.
I don't quite understand the intent of your reply to my previous post, but I don't see anything in your post, including scripture passages, that I disagree with or argued against in my post. Ro 10 v9-10 are the classic verses in re salvation by grace through faith alone.
Seems to me that we are in agreement on all points you raised, agree? if not correct me, I don't want to offend a brother in Christ for no reason, or even if I felt I had a valid reason, and in this instance I certainly don't.
