The book of John says what I wrote!
Of course it is the living Jesus Christ that saves, that is what the believing is about.
Romans 10:9-10..
This is a basis to Salvation given by Our Lord Jesus. How do we follow it?

Every person struggles with their faith before they die. Jesus saves eternally the moment of belief in Him.
Effort on our part doesn't give salvation or keep it.. Jesus gives it and keeps it.
What we need is to come to the Living Christ Jesus, and then listen to Him on what we must follow and put into practice until then end for us to be saved always. Reading and believing from do not save, but coming to and following Jesus is the one that will save us always.
That a blind faith that brings to deception, you have to come to Jesus and follow Him until then end for you to be saved always.
Those of us who read and understand the Bible do know.
This describes man in his unsaved state. Believers in Jesus Christ are righteous in God’s sight.
Wrong. The text doesn’t say that.
You are wrong, but you should at least follow your own rules and stop attempting to correct anyone.
What, in your view, is the difference between believing the words that tell you about Jesus, and believing Jesus?
Believing what you read in the Bible about Jesus is like believing a news item in a newspaper. But coming to the Living Christ, calling on Him, and listening to His response is the real and genuine way to hear the words of God. The Lord will teach you what to believe and put into practice until the end. As the Lord shepherds you, He'll reward you with the salvation of your soul when you pass the parameters He set before you. He'll also instruct you to maintain that salvation by obediently following Him until the end.
Perhaps you're unaware that the Living Christ Jesus is the only Pastor and Teacher in His one flock across all generations. He didn't send anyone to preach the Bible; instead, He Himself teaches those who come to Him for salvation. This is true for every generation, until the end, and from eternity to eternity
Who told you Jesus saves eternally the moment you believe in Him after reading the Bible? That’s a big lie because Jesus requires us all to come to and follow Him until the end for us to be saved. No one gets saved by
Who told you that Jesus saves eternally the moment you believe in Him after reading the Bible? That's a big lie. Jesus requires us all to come to Him and follow Him until the end to be saved. No one gets saved just by reading and studying the Bible and then believing in Jesus based on what they've read.
At what point in the process you describe is the ‘believer’ saved? When is he transferred from darkness to light?
Don’t assume my ignorance. I asked you for your explanation of your position, not for general knowledge.
It depends on the doer’s way and showmanship of following the Lord, who, in turn will be reading from his/her heart. He (Lord) is the only one who can tell when he/she gets saved.
This is not general knowledge but today’s revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ. See this present day revelation from the Lord, where He says:
I am the Pastor, I am the Good Pastor. Remember, no one else will teach you except Me. If you explain to one another, it's only according to your own will, according to your own thoughts. So remember, anyone who stands as a pastor, who stands as a leader of My church, is working iniquity and stealing My place as the Good Pastor. Because you are only human, you who are pastors, you who teach and stand before people, you who work iniquity, you who cast out demons in My name, remember that when I return, many will call out to Me, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we do mighty works and cast out demons in Your name, didn't we heal?' But remember, I will say to them, 'I never knew you, I never recognized you, you who work iniquity, you who cast out demons.' Remember, when you cast out demons, you're taking away the role that belongs to Me. If you encounter someone possessed by a demon, just pray to Me, and I am ready to hear your prayer and will listen to every complaint you whisper to Me, every cry you make, every prayer you offer. I will help you and never abandon you, especially those who are Mine and follow Me.
One doesn’t “read from his/her heart” but with the eyes and mind. What you are saying effectively is that nobody can know whether they are saved.
That isn’t in the Bible. What makes you think it is “revelation from the Lord”?
The one who reads from the heart is the Lord Jesus, and He's the one who will determine whether His followers, whom He teaches and guides to salvation, have passed the parameters He set before them. The followers don't know whether they're saved or not while being shepherded by the Lord, until the day He announces to them the good news that they're saved. However, they need to maintain their salvation by obediently following the Lord until the end..
The Lord Jesus came in to our lives for approximately 14 years beginning 2001. He introduced Himself to us via long message and taught us many things randomly within that period as mentioned.
I think you misunderstood me. Jesus sees what is in the heart of man, but He doesn’t read through us.
Is English your first language? No shame if not, but it helps me to know how to interpret your posts.
Who is “us” here? Are you referring to a personal experience? How did Jesus come into your lives for only 14 years? Did He leave again?
Have you been personally mentored and taught by the Lord Jesus like He was with Peter and John, His apostles?
What I mean by 'the Lord reads from the heart' is that the Lord Jesus directly perceives and understands the thoughts, intentions, and hearts of His students whom He shepherds and guides to salvation. This is how the Lord merits and rewards salvation to His students.
No, I'm not ashamed that English isn't my first language.
My family, relatives, and friends.
Yes, it's been almost 14 years of sporadic tutorial sessions with the Lord Jesus, similar to the days of the apostles.
It was a long story but the beginning was the birth of a child whose eyes were open in the spirit world and he’s in the company of angels. The child saw the devils, too, lurking around them daily.
The Lord spent about 3-1/2 years teaching and guiding the apostles to discipleship, didn’t the Lord? But did He leave them? He didn’t, of course, but the apostles no longer saw the physical body used by Jesus in coming in the flesh during their time.
Jesus is always with us until the end and unto eternity to eternity, though we do not see Him.He never leaves or forsakes us because He is Immanuel, God with us.
The 14 years Jesus spent with us consisted of sporadic calls and tutorial sessions at various places.
Thank you. That sounds like some of the stories I've heard of people encountering Jesus in places where "normal" Church fellowship and instruction were not available. It's not a common testimony by any means, at least not in "Westernized" countries.
Could you please enlighten me on your phrase ‘normal church fellowship?”
The Philippines, my native land, is a country that is totally saturated with western, asian, and other countries’ denominations, who all claims to be biblical Christians and followers.
I was thinking somewhere more remote. What I mean by “normal church fellowship” is regular attendance for worship, teaching and fellowship at a central location, without overt persecution or significant difficulty.
Thanks for the info.
There is neither a church building nor men pastors in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. He shepherds His sheep in their homes or private places, and you can count on your fingers the sheep He has gathered for every session. We're just one family among the many families of God the Lord Jesus Christ shepherds across the globe simultaneously.
This describes man in his unsaved state. Believers in Jesus Christ are righteous in God’s sight.
The different denominations in Christianity today are all believing in Jesus Christ.
Who is the righteous since they have different recognition to Jesus and have different doctrines and way of salvation?
Your translation software has failed you. The question does not make sense in English.
