Understanding Salvation

• Hi! Welcome to your first Love, first Faith The
  Eternity of God infinite time a place of
  perfect peace and you can boldly enter through
  Jesus Christ.
• Definition
• Salvation comes from the Greek word soteria,
  which means "deliverance, preservation and
  safety." It primarily involves deliverance from
  the bondage of sin (Romans 920-23v Galatians
  51v).
• Salvation also includes deliverance from enemies
  (Luke 171v) and sickness and disease Isaiah
  534v .
• The Amplified Bible Matthew 817v 1 Peter
  224v.
• Salvation is a gift that is made available to
  those who repent, believe and confess that Jesus
  is Lord and that He died and rose from the dead
  to save mankind (Acts 1631v Romans 109-10v).
• This gift cannot be earned through good deeds or
  by simply being a "good person" (Ephesians 28v
  1 Timothy 19v).
• It is a matter of faith (acting out on what you
  believe according to God's Word concerning
  salvation).

Steps to Complete Salvation1-1

• The following steps will help you obtain and
  maintain the salvation experience. It involves a
  process that will not only guarantee you entrance
  to heaven, but also position you to experience
  the benefits of heaven on earth.
• 1.  Recognize/Admit That You Are a
  Sinner.Because of Adam's sin of disobedience in
  the Garden of Eden, all of humanity was affected
  by, and infected with, sin (Romans 512-14v).
  Mankind took on the nature of sin. Therefore,
  everyone that was born after Adam was born into a
  life of sin and death (Psalm 515v).
• 2.  Repent of Your Sins.To repent simply means
  to "change one's mind to change one's direction
  to have a change of heart." It involves making a
  180-degree turn away from sin and heading in the
  right direction toward God.
• Repentance does not mean "I'm sorry." It is a
  quality decision to ask forgiveness of your sins,
  turning away from ungodly living and submitting
  to God's will for your life (1 John 19v).

Steps to Complete Salvation1-2

• 3.  Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior.Confession
  affirms Jesus' lordship (place of authority) over
  your life. Confess that He is your Lord and
  believe that He lived, died and was raised from
  the dead for the forgiveness of your sins.

Pray This Prayer

• Heavenly Father, I recognize and admit that I am
  a sinner. I turn away from my sins, confess with
  my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus is
  Lord. I believe that He lived, died and was
  raised from the dead for my salvation. I receive
  my salvation and all of its benefits right now.
  Lord, thank You for saving me this day. In Jesus'
  name I pray. Amen!

Be Baptized in Water and Receivethe Baptism in
the Holy Spirit.

• There will be a gathering of those who believe in
  the gospel of the water and the Spirit by their
  acceptance of their faith in the Lord. The gospel
  of the water and Spirit is from God.
• The gospel of the water and the Spirit is the
  Word of salvation that has the power to deliver
  everyone from all the sins of the world.
• Water baptism is a symbolic representation of
  Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. Just as He
  was baptized, so must you be baptized (Matthew
  36v).
• You go down into the water, carrying your old man
  (lifestyle) with you, and die to yourself and
  your old way of living (Romans 63-11v). When you
  come up out of the water, you are a "new" person.

Obey the Word of God.

• When you become born again, the Holy Spirit takes
  up residence in your heart to become your
  Teacher, Comforter and Guide through life (John
  1415-17v, 23, 26v).
• When you receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
  (Luke 2449v Acts 14-8v), you are covered with
  and able to tap into (activate) the
  burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God --
  the anointing (Isaiah 1027v).
• The evidence of this power lies in your speaking
  in tongues, or in an unknown, spiritual language
  (Acts 21-4v).
• The purpose for this prayer language is to help
  you pray the perfect will of God, overcome areas
  of weakness (Romans 826v) and build you up in
  faith and love (Jude 120-21v).
• Praying in tongues is effective, because it
  bypasses the soul (the place where your mind,
  will and emotions reside) and, consequently, any
  fear, doubt or unbelief you may have. Speaking in
  tongues is spirit-to-Spirit communication you
  speak directly from your spirit to God's (1
  Corinthians 142v).
• Maintaining your salvation and enjoying its
  benefits is done by living according to God's
  Word (Proverbs 31-4v 1 John 53v).
• Make His Word the final authority by which you
  live. Make sure every decision you make in life
  is biblically based. The Word must be your
  foundation.
