And He instructs you different from the next guy making the same claim, but you got it right?
As exhibits of how it works, see the Day of Pentecost preaching (Acts 2) and the Holy Spirit entering those who believed the message that Jesus is Messiah, He came in the flesh and died for our sins; on the third day God raised Him up to establish the absolute validity of a new covenant with mankind, in which the believer in Jesus has his/her sins wiped from the record and God's Spirit comes to indwell the believer for the rest of their life on earth. There is a similar exhibition of the process in the House of Cornelius (Acts 10:38-45).
I'm sure the magicsteeringthem has a twist on those scenes which supports their works based religion system, but the scenes are really quite straightforward that believing in the heart is the response God honors with immediate spiritual cleansing and a new creation indwelt by His Holy Spirit.
One can try to work, strive, trudge their way to that status, but the Bible is clear that you can never achieve it while God offers Salvation on His terms in return for simply believing Jesus is The Deliverer and is the ONLY means for salvation and newness of spirit.
The Holy Spirit searches hearts during this Church Age (that's spiritual Church, not Baptist or Episcopalian or Presbyterian, or Methodist, or Roman Catholic or Pentecostal, etc. ). Where He finds a heart believing Jesus is the Savior and that heart calls out to Him for Salvation, The Holy Spirit immediately cleanses that one and leaves a spark of the Holy Spirit of Promise in the human spirit so cleansed by the blood of Jesus. That one is then in Christ, a new creation.
And yes, I read it in the BIble and THE BIBLE gets it right. Try it, you'll like it! Even Mikey likes it! Of course, one can keep striving in secret pride of self. God allows the choice. But His Word warns us not to reject so great a Salvation given by The Grace of God in Christ, for there is no other way given unto man whereby he may be saved. That Grace cannot be earned no matter how faithful one might be to a sacramental trail.
