    Salvation Made Simple

    Salvation Made Simple

    If a person takes the time to investigate the difference between Christianity and all of the other religions of the world, they will notice a profound difference.

    In all the religions of the world, each share a common bond: The requirement of that religion for the participant to perform in such a way, in order to be found acceptable.

    Only Christianity declares that there is nothing you can do to earn your salvation, except believe the good news. Jesus Christ bore the sins of all people in his own body while on the cross. He performed all the work, paid the full price, and enables anyone who will believe it, the opportunity to have salvation and eternal life.

    This free gift of eternal life is not true in all other religions of the world:

    How Do You Know You Are Saved?

    How Do You Know You Are Saved?

    If you ask most people who go to church, how it is that they know they are saved, they would have a variety of different answers. They might say that they believe they are going to heaven because they go to church regularly. Perhaps they might say that it is because they pray and read their Bible.

    Many people misapply what a Christian does for what a Christian is. Praying, reading the Bible, attending church and giving of your tithe are all things that a Christian should do, but they are not what makes someone a Christian.

    According to the Bible, a person is saved and going to heaven when they have received Jesus as their Lord and Savior. What makes someone a Christian is Jesus. It is not what a person does, but what they believe that causes them to be acceptable to God.

    How do you know you are save: The short answer is: Because Jesus Christ was crucified and rose from the dead.

    Everyone loves to hear that “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.” People love to hear how much God loves them, but not many enjoy hearing at what price they were saved.

    The doctrine that is missing in the church today is the total depravity of man. The fact that every person is a lost sinner with no hope of eternal life apart from the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

    The church of the last days is afraid of offending those who attend their services by telling them that they are sinners in need of a Savior.

    Spontaneous Commentary: Galatians 1:6-10

    Spontaneous Commentary: Galatians 1:6-10

    Paul was concerned that some of the visiting teachers who came into the Galatian church had already caused the believers there to turn away from the simplicity of Jesus Christ. to follow the complexities of men.

    One of the problems in the church today is that man is always seeking to complicate the simple message of God’s offer to forgive all sin and grant eternal life, by simply by coming to Jesus Christ in repentance. Most of the mainline denominational churches have “traditions” and teachings within the church that cannot be found in the Bible and are unsound in their precepts.

    Jesus scolded the Pharisee for upholding their traditions above the simplicity of the Word of God:

    Mark 7:7-8 “…And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men…”

    One of the largest churches in the world today that claims to be a “Christian” church, but does not believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible. The subtleties of their doctrines use the name of “Jesus” and speak of “His Blood as purifying them from their sin”, yet the president of their organization has publicly stated that “We do not believe in the historical Jesus of the Bible.”

    Instead, their church doctrine teaches that Jesus is a created being, the brother of Lucifer. Jesus was a sinful man himself who was in need of redemption, and that he found his redemption and was elevated to the possition of “A God” through his obedience to the church and it’s doctrinal teaching.

    Do Mormons Believe in a Different Jesus?

    Do Mormons Believe in a Different Jesus?

    “In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints ‘do not believe in the traditional Christ.’ ‘No, I don’t. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. He together with His Father, appeared to the boy Joseph Smith in the year 1820, and when Joseph left the grove that day, he knew more of the nature of God than all the learned ministers of the gospel of the ages.’” (LDS Church News Week ending June 20, 1998, p. 7).
    Christians have long maintained that Mormonism teaches a Jesus that is different from what the Bible reveals. Of course, the Mormons say that they believe in the same Jesus that originally walked on the earth and is revealed in the Bible. Though they may make this claim, it is up to them to prove it. Especially in light of what Mormonism says about God and Jesus.

    Is Mormonism Christian?

    Is Mormonism Christian?

    Is Mormonism Christian?” is a very important question. The answer is equally important and simple. No. Mormonism is not Christian.
    If you are a Mormon, please realize that CARM is not trying to attack you, your character, or the sincerity of your belief. If you are a non-Mormon looking into Mormonism, or if you are a Christian who is simply researching Mormonism, then this paper should be of help to you.
    The reason Mormonism is not Christian is because it denies one or more of the essential doctrines of Christianity. Of the essential doctrines (that there is only one God, Jesus is God in flesh, forgiveness of sins is by grace alone, and Jesus rose from the dead physically, the gospel being the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus), Mormonism denies three of them: how many gods there are, the person of Jesus, and His work of salvation.
