"Is This The Truth"
Richie Thetford
Ask a denominational preacher if what he preaches is the truth and he will surely say YES.
Ask him if one must believe the truth in order to be saved and he will no doubt say YES.
But, ask him if one must believe the particular doctrine which he preaches in order to be saved
and he will probably answer NO. (Now, make sense out of that!)
THINGS BY WHICH MAN IS SAVED:
The Bible teaches man is saved by 13 different things
God (Titus 3:4-5),
Love, (John 3:16),
Mercy (Titus 3:4-5),
Grace (Eph 2:9),
Christ (Matt 1:21),
Blood (1 Pet 1:18-19),
Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:11),
Gospel (Rom 1:16-17),
Faith (Rom 5:1),
Repentance (Acts 17:30),
Confession (Rom 10:10),
Works of Faith (Jam 2:24),
Baptism (1 Pet 3:21).
The Bible nowhere teaches men are saved by any one thing only!
God---Titus 3;4-5-- But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
