Please be specific and back your answer up with scripture.

Belive In The Lord Your God With All Your Heart Soul And Mind Put Him First Before Anything Because He First Loved Us Do Un To Others As You Would Have Theme Do Unto You Love Your Enmies And Thouse Which Hate you If you Can Only Love Thouse Which Love You What reward Have Ye>>Matt ch5>43>48

Ok.... but where in that verse does it say anything about getting saved or going to heaven?

[whocares]

Why do you feel the need to be "saved"...You need to be at peace within yourself first and foremost.. No one can make you happy and feel as one, but yourself...you dont need someone to jam scriptures down your throat to find happiness in your life..I dont believe in using religion as a crutch for fullfillment and happiness. Although I do believe in god, I believe in finding your own human spirit. Oh what do I know, Im still searching for it too...Just my opinion though..

[Julbright]

THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH "JESUS IS LORD" AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED..... EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED

ROMANS 10:9, 13

That right there says it all Julbright;) I couldn't agree more:angel:

[Julbright]

Jesus Answered, " I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 14:6

[bgivens33]

So I've also heard it's through God's Grace and his grace alone that we are saved. Do our actions really have anything to do with it?

[JulieCitySlicker]

Our actions have everything to do with it:angel: I can't think of the scripture from the top of my head but it says something to the extent that we are to live in the world vut not of the world:) That meaning we are to go with our lives but not love the things of the world cuz its all gonna pass away someday. To be a christian we are to live our lives in Christs footsteps and be a light to those who don't know him:angel:

Like i said before,you cant save yourself no matter how hard you try.

I really agree with this answer. The bible can say whatever it wants but when it all boils down, you can't do anything to get saved. It's all up to God.

[Julbright]

Well, then we are all saved. God chose all of us. We have the free will to accept it or reject it. So in that way I think we do have some choices to make that will determine our salvation!

Well, this verse doesn't say there is anyone who can't do it ! I will look up something later to back me up but basically God could've made us robots who were forced to believe but He didn't he gave us the free will to choose - that is why it is called Faith

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:3

[facelessman]

Now I say unto you that ye must repent, and be born again; for the Spirit saith if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye may be washed from your sins, that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness. Alma 7:14 (Book of Mormon)
