Lol yes believing in Jesus that the includes accepting what he said and sent to the world and said “ anyone who believes and is baptized shall be saved “
There is nothing you or anyone else can ever say until the end of the world to change what saves people
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
to say “‘I believe in Jesus but I reject what Jesus said about salvation because I have faith and am already saved “ isnt faith , it’s the evidence of foolishness
If you want the truth it’s why Jesus was born and preached the gospel
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives,
And recovering of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
Luke 4:18-19, 21 KJV
a Jesus went about preaching the truth of eternal salvation to anyone who would believe in all israel
The long promised salvation of the lord had come
“Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
Mark 1:14-15
Then he sent his disciples to preach the gospel to israel only
“These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Matthew 10:5-7
then he began telling his disciples the gospel he preached to them would be preached in all the world to all nations
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14 KJV
then he died for the worlds sin and sent everyone that believes in him of Israel ( the remnant ) out with the gospel to preach it to all nations , all creatures of the world for salvation
before he died he said “ don’t go into any other nation other than Israel preaching the gospel of the kingdom only to the lost sheep of Israel “
After he died and rose he sends them to everyone in the world to preach the same gospel of the kingdom including his doctrine to all People for salvstion
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16
If you want the true authority and doctrine until the end of the world for salvation you go here
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Matthew 28:18-20 KJV
the apostles are never trying to omit Jesus words from salvation when they talk about grace , they are talking about this grace that saves believers from death by faith
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17 KJV
He will never change
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
Hebrews 13:8 KJV
Nor his words of eternal life in the gospel they will live and be relevant as long as Jesus is alive and relevant
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
Matthew 24:35 KJV
the words of our lord will save believers forever And all the apostles understood and preached it whether John
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.
He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:”
2 John 1:9-10
Or Paul
“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.”
1 Timothy 6:3-5 KJV
Believing his word is how we are raised up to a new life or “ born again “ without his word there is no life in the gospel no resurrection
“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
1 Peter 1:22-23, 25 KJV
obeying the truth
“To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37 KJV
through the spirit
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
In other words we must worship in spirit and in truth
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.”
John 4:24-26 KJV
His words are the words of God to trifle with and lead people away from believing them is not a good path
you want to go to this word and hold on for dear life believing and persevering
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
he sent that to us on purpose along with a good clear record of his teachings the teachings of our lord he says will save us
Your treating Jesus words like this instead
“Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.”
Deuteronomy 5:25 KJV
But Jesus is saying this
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
John 8:31-32, 51 KJV
And this
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
we have to repent and believe Jesus not pretend believing in him excuses is from believing his word there’s no reason to avoid the gospel like the law I’m not sure why any Christian is afraid to hear the words promising everlasting life
