    6.) STOP Saying you GOT Saved…if you GOT Saved ,where did you GET IT. ?

    1. I used the words “got saved” because they are common in Christian lingo. While it is perhaps not grammatically best, it does indicate that Jesus gave us salvation. So, I suppose I got saved from Jesus – He gave me that salvation.

    2. Well, I got it from Christ! 🙂 Salvation is a gift, therefore it is something you “get” or receive, which is why people say they “got” it. Honestly though, it’s really not worth getting that upset over even if you didn’t like the grammatical use, it would seem there is something more bothering you. It doesn’t seem natural that you would get so upset about grammar to comment with all caps like you are yelling. Whatever it is that’s upsetting you, I hope you work it out.
      Blessings

  2. Glory To GOD!
    I have rededicated my life. Asking GOD To forgive me for waivering in my faith. To create a a clean heart and renew and restore me with a heart that is like GOD’S heart, lead me to the ways of righteousness for His Glory.

    I need I need a study pattern of practice and living in the will and staying with faith building principles.

    1. Jozette – I am so happy to hear that you’ve rededicated your life to God! I would invite you to take a peruse around my blog, I provide a lot of resources that I think will help strengthen your faith. If you are looking for anything in particular, don’t hesitate to email me and let me know so I can send you direct links. God bless you, my sister!

  3. The article is helpful for someone who is new to following Christ although a little misleading. Your statement “ baptism always immediately followed salvation. In every instance.” seems false considering the repentant thief who died with Jesus in the New Testament. While he was hanging on the cross, Jesus responded to him saying, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” He gained salvation while he was dying on the cross and was not baptized. Baptism will never hinder someone’s salvation or walk with God and a newly saved person should not be confused by that.

      Hi Bethany,the thief used in your illjstration to butress yoir point actually is the perfect example of the relationship between Salvation & Baptism. The cross was his baptism experience. He died with Christ literally & rose with Him on the 3rd day. This is both salvation & baptism. Now be ause we cannot literally die , be buried under the ground & resurrect physically that’s why we use water with which this is possible to symbolize our salvation experience as believers , to affirm our faith experience . God bless you. Thank you.

  4. nice to know that people are doers for the glory of GOD, his ONLY BEGOOTEN SON OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST and The Holy Spirit = Three in One!
    you stopped after publishing the beginning explanation of being saved. The next stepp is getting sanctified holy! Tell the readers of the truth to be sanctified holy. The next step is to see the signs of the short time we have and follow Paul who is the 12th. Apostle named by Jesus as the one who should teach the Gentiled about faith in Christ, being saved and sanctified. I am one of these gentiles and learned in the USA in the Holiness Movement about it and believe that you have to grow into it. thanks so much for already going the holy way – go on and we see us after the imminent rapture in heaven.

    1. Oh friend, yes, I have. My whole blog is a call to sanctification and holiness by the grace of Jesus Christ. One of the hardest things in blogging is continuing the story in another post that may or may not be seen by people who landed on the first one. It’s why I am turning more to book writing so people can read my whole message from start to finish. 🙂 I’m so glad to see people who are passionate for Christ and His holiness in our lives!
