How To Be Saved

How To Be Saved Many people wonder how they can be saved from the consequences of their sins and have eternal life. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned by human efforts or merits. Salvation is based on God's grace and mercy, which He offers to anyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, proving His power over sin and death. Anyone who confesses their sins, repents of their wrongdoings, and trusts in Jesus Christ as their only way to God will be saved. Salvation is not a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship with God that involves obedience, growth, and service. To be saved, one must follow the steps below: 1. Recognize that you are a sinner and that you need God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 2. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your old way of living. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." 4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith. Romans 10:9 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." 5. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ publicly and join a local church where you can grow in your knowledge and love of God. Matthew 10:32 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

Terry James is a well-known advocate of the pre-tribulation Rapture theory, which claims that Christians will be taken up to heaven before the seven-year period of tribulation that precedes the second coming of Christ. I disagree with this theory and I have had some discussions with him in the past, where I presented my arguments against his interpretation of biblical prophecy. I believe that the pre-tribulation Rapture theory is not supported by scripture and that it creates a false sense of security for believers who think they will escape the trials and tribulations of the end times.

I was shocked and dismayed when I received an email from Todd Strandberg, the founder of Rapture Ready. He told me that he was going to write about me in his Nearing Midnight section, where he exposes false teachers and apostates who are leading people astray from the truth of the Bible. He accused me of being a heretic and a wolf in sheep's clothing, because I dared to question some of his interpretations of prophecy and the signs of the times. He said that I was undermining the faith of millions of Christians who are looking for the blessed hope of the Lord's return. (not to be confused with the Fake Rapture) He warned me to repent or face the wrath of God and the judgement of the church.

Rude, arrogant and disrespectful are three words that describe a type of behaviour that is unacceptable in most social situations and describes the Rapture Ready website and these two False Prophets. They are not from the Lord - they are from Satan.

Rude means being impolite, uncivil or offensive to others. Arrogant means having an exaggerated sense of one's own importance, abilities or worth. Disrespectful means showing a lack of respect, consideration or courtesy for someone or something. These behaviors can hurt people's feelings, damage relationships and create conflicts.

James' false claim of having visited Heaven and seeing things beyond human perception is a blatant lie that distorts the truth. There is no factual or real evidence to support his claim.
