Download or read book 5 Steps to Salvation written by Gregory Selkirk and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. Faith, 2. Repentance, 3. Water Baptism, 4. Spirit Infilling, 5. Continuance.Contrary to the tradition and "gutted" gospel of Christio-religious easy-believers, the doctrine of salvation introduced with the birth of the church in Jerusalem, Israel in the year 33 AD has never changed. The Bible's book of Acts records the early history of God's one and only church whose doctrines and teaching remain the basis for New Testament salvation as we "... are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;" Eph. 2:20. Though the world and human society seem to be ever awash in a turbulent sea of change and upheaval, God's word has not, does not, and will not change. This fact, providing an anchor of comfort and stability to many, also provides a very inconvenient obstacle to others who, as we have been forewarned, would attempt to "pervert the gospel of Christ." Gal 1:7.In "5 Steps to Salvation" analysis is applied to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles, specifically with regard to the New Testament doctrine of salvation. Whether this book serves simply as a refresher course for the reader, or introduces new biblical perspectives, may the truth of God's word be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.

Download or read book Teachings of Presidents of the Church Brigham Young written by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This book was released on with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prophet Brigham Young taught the restored gospel of Jesus Christ in a basic, practical way that gave inspiration and hope to the Saints struggling to build a home in the wilderness. Though more than a century has now passed, his words are still fresh and appropriate for us today as we continue the work of building the kingdom of God. President Young declared that as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we possess the “doctrine of life and salvation for all the honest-in-heart” (DBY, 7). He promised that those who receive the gospel in their hearts will have awakened “within them a desire to know and understand the things of God more than they ever did before in their lives” and will begin to “inquire, read and search and when they go to their Father in the name of Jesus he will not leave them without a witness” (DBY, 450). This book reflects the desire of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to deepen the doctrinal understanding of Church members and to awaken within them a greater desire to know the things of God. It will inspire and motivate individuals, priesthood quorums, and Relief Society classes to inquire, read, search, and then go to their Father in Heaven for a witness of the truth of these teachings. Each chapter contains two sections—“Teachings of Brigham Young” and “Suggestions for Study.” The first section consists of extracts from Brigham Young’s sermons to the early Saints. Each statement has been referenced, and the original spelling and punctuation have been preserved; however, the sources cited will not be readily available to most members. These original sources are not necessary to have in order to effectively study or teach from this book. Members need not purchase additional references and commentaries to study or teach these chapters. The text provided in this book, accompanied by the scriptures, is sufficient for instruction. Members should prayerfully read and study President Young’s teachings in order to gain new insights into gospel principles and discover how those principles apply to their everyday lives. By faithfully and prayerfully studying these selections, Latter-day Saints will have a greater understanding of gospel principles and will more fully appreciate the profound and inspired teachings of this great prophet. The second section of each chapter offers a series of questions that will encourage thoughtful contemplation, personal application, and discussion of President Young’s teachings. Members should refer to and carefully reread his words on the principle being discussed. Deep and prayerful study of these teachings will inspire members to greater personal commitment and will help them resolve to follow the teachings of the Savior, Jesus Christ. If individuals and families prayerfully follow the principles in this book, they will be blessed and inspired to greater dedication and spirituality, as were the early Saints who heard these words directly from the lips of the “Lion of the Lord” (HC, 7:434)—the prophet, seer, and revelator, President Brigham Young.
Download or read book Steps of Salvation written by Donald L. Perry and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steps of Salvation is a book that describes the chronological steps a person will experience before they are saved. These steps are taken from the Scriptures (from the Holy Bible) and from my own experience of salvation. These chronological events of salvation are based on Ephesians 1:13, 14, Romans 10:14-17, and the Parable of the Sower, as recorded in Mark 4:1-25; Matthew 13:1-23; and Luke 8:4-18. To these are added other Scripture passages to complete the Steps of Salvation. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 10:29-32
Download or read book The Normal Christian Birth written by David Pawson and published by Anchor Recordings Limited. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This is a handbook on spiritual obstetrics, written out of deep concern that so many Christians have been badly 'delivered'. So often, later spiritual disease can be traced back to an inadequate initiation into the Kingdom. A better birth means greater growth in a healthy Christian life.' Basing his study on the New Testament, David Pawson advocates a synthesis of the 'liberal' emphasis on repentance, the 'evangelical' on faith, the 'sacramental' on baptism and the 'pentecostal' on the Spirit. He then relates these 'spiritual doors' to the concepts of conversion and regeneration. THE NORMAL CHRISTIAN BIRTH looks at crucial and controversial texts, challenging traditional interpretations. The final section on evangelistic counselling questions the adequacy of the typical 'sinner's prayer' approach. Drawing from scripture and experience, David Pawson gives many practical tips on helping potential disciples to repent, believe, be baptised and receive the Spirit. David Pawson has a worldwide teaching ministry, particularly for church leaders. He is known to many through Christian broadcasting and is the author of numerous books.

Download or read book Once Saved Always Saved written by David Pawson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether ‘once saved, always saved’ is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others.
