Made up salvations are from thiefs and robbers.
John 10:1
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Knowing the truth? The truth is The Doctrine of Christ - THE FAITH - the washing by regeneration (cleansing of sin)
Believing in Him? Believing alone will not save you - act on His Words.
He is our salvation? Yes He is -- if we follow Him through the regeneration
Gift from God? Yes it is, but again, we must follow Him.
Saved by Grace? Only if you are saved by the regeneration.
Through faith? Personal faith does not save you--Only 'The Faith' saves.
Not by works? Our good works will not save us -- His works will.
It all comes down to following YahuShuah Messiah through the regeneration process as He stated.
Jesus said to follow Him through death, burial and resurrection by baptism into His death and we are raised in the likeness of His resurrection. All by regeneration and this my friends is the doctrine of Christ -- this is The Faith that will save you.
YOU ARE SAVED BY 'THE' FAITH NOT by PERSONAL FAITH!
Titus 3
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
(kindness and love is God's grace)
So are we saved by grace? ONLY if you are saved according to His words.
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
(our good works will not save us)
but according to his mercy he saved us,
(by His Grace we are saved--by His mercy we are saved)
(How are we saved?)
by the washing of regeneration,
(by baptism into His name)
and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
(Christ in you is our hope of Glory after you remit the curse)
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Salvation comes through YahuShuah Messiah
I can say that I am saved by God's grace.
I am saved by His mercy.
Only because I have followed Him in the regeneration.
Matthew 19:28
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
