HOW TO PROPERLY BE SAVED THE JESUS WAY -
PERFECTION, LOVE, JOY, PEACE, CERTAINTY!
Paul's 40,000 words of confusing word salad did nothing to clarify what Jesus had already taught, rather his teachings confounded the simplicity of Jesus’ Gospel, a Gospel for which Jesus has made perfectly clear and needed NO further correction or clarification. One may easily derive Jesus’ Gospel free of any confusion or convolution in the eyewitness accounts found in the Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of John, 1 John and The Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ. Also, the epistle of James and Hebrews (not written by Paul) are excellent supplements.
This pamphlet seeks to lead the reader to an everlasting walk with God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ through the pure, unadulterated teachings of Jesus Christ.
God (the Father) is the Creator of everything, both in the seen (physical) and unseen (spiritual) world. He created the heavens and the earth and placed man (and woman) on the earth to tend to it.
In the beginning, everything was perfect. There was no pain or death, no sorrow or tears. All God asked man and woman (Adam & Eve) to do was to obey one simple commandment, that they NOT partake of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil found in the garden. Of all other trees they were given to freely eat, excepting this one.
Unfortunately, Eve was tempted of the serpent (Satan) to partake of the tree and broke this one commandment. As well, she handed the fruit to Adam who ate, too. This commenced the fall of man into sin and brought entropy and death into what to that point had been a perfect system.
Ever since, not a single one of us, has been free of sin, for, “…there is none that doeth good, no, not one" (Psalm 14:3), and because of this, death has come upon all of us, for all of us have sinned (1 John 1:8-
Early in history, God allowed for man to sacrifice animals as a propitiation (payment) for sin when they made a sacrifice coupled with true repentance. But man figured out a way to abuse this system as well. God knowing this would happen had a plan (and many prophecies foretold of this plan of Jesus coming such as in Isaiah 7:14), to send His only begotten Son Jesus Christ as the ultimate gift and sacrifice, as He would voluntarily choose to die in our place, to shed His own blood, and having lived a sinless life, that blood was perfect, and was the propitionary payment for what we all did. God's justice now satisfied, we can attain to eternal life.
How do we attain this salvation? By coming to God repentant of our sins (ask forgiveness & turning away from the sin) and by receiving what Jesus did in shedding His blood for us. This obviously requires that you believe Matthew and John's eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life including His death, burial and resurrection, as well that you believe Jesus is all He says He is and is worthy of your faith and belief that He is the Son of God. Jesus said it this way, "…He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (John 5:24)
Believing on Jesus isn’t limited to believing on what He did, but on believing God's Word itself. This is because Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:1). As we learn God's Word we see that God placed very specific requirements on humanity. Believing in Jesus means being sorry for having fallen short of those requirements. When we're sorry we want to change, to repent, to make things right. And this is why repentance must be added to belief.
As we repent of each sin God brings to our memories, the blood of Jesus can be applied to those sins and they can be forgiven and washed clean, as written in Isaiah, "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18).
Without repentance no man can be saved. And without the blood of Jesus, no man can be saved. But the repentant can receive what Jesus did and be made united with God, much like in an earthly relationship. When we wrong another person, to make it right, we express sorrow and commit to stopping the offense so we can reunite the relationship. So it is with our relationship with God and being specific about each of our sins, too, will draw us so much closer. Having outstanding, unrepentant sin only serves to keep a wedge between us and God just as it would in an earthly relationship.
Many people who teach how to be saved from the Pauline epistles can leave repentance out entirely, the enemy knowing it is so crucial to being saved, he wants to make sure people don't search themselves, clear the air with God, and remove the wedges between them and God. The Romans Road to Salvation formula is just such a lying doctrine and is a major reason for this pamphlet.
Another aspect that is left off is how we identify the sins from which we need to repent. The commandments and statutes of the Word of course! But the Pauline Church also leaves out God’s laws, saying the law has been done away with. But Jesus said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” (Matthew 5:17-
The pinnacle of this law is found in the Ten Commandments and is where Believers, new and old should start with regard to looking into the mirror of His Word to see where repentance is required. Here is an abbreviated list, but be sure to check out Exodus 20 for the complete version.
1. Thou shalt have no other God before me (this includes all false religions but even false versions of Christianity and Jesus. Also the pagan demonic deities in the Church related to Christmas (winter solstice, Saturnalia, Sol Invicta, Santa/Odin, etc.), Sunday Sabbath (the sun god Sol, Osiris, etc.), Easter (Isthar), etc.)
2. Thou shalt make no graven image…. thou shalt not bow down before them, nor serve them, for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God… (Nearly every "Christian" home or Church you enter has a cross of some sort, and this alone is breaking God's Word with regard to graven images. This does not please Him. We do not need any physical reminders of our spiritual God. These things need to be removed, destroyed and repented of.)
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work. But the SEVENTH day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work… (The Pauline epistles did away with the honoring of the 7th day Sabbath, as well as God's holidays including Passover, Unleavened Bread, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles, etc. This is a major command and all who break it must repent.)
5. Thou shalt honor thy father and mother.

If the new Believer would just start with these Ten Commandments, search himself with God’s help and truly repent of breaking them, committing to God to not do so any more, as well as tells God that he receives what Jesus did in shedding His blood and asks that the Blood of Jesus wash those sins away, the Believer can now fully believe in faith that God has honored this request and that he is now forgiven, saved and redeemed. An amazing amount of sin, death, and spiritual burden will lift and God will bring a huge deliverance. Nearly everyone who does this sincerely experiences this "lifting" of the heavy weight of sin and the release of the shackles that so had them bound. For those who don't, it is good that you have begun the process and there is most probably a wedge of sin that needs repenting of between you and God. Continue asking God what that might be, seeking to make things right, and you will be led to do so and will soon experience the freedom you seek.
A seriously important element is that the Believer continue to heed the commandments and follow them with the help of the Holy Spirit. As the Believer branches out into reading the remainder of the Word (sans Paul), God will continue to uncover other areas of sin that should be repented of, and one's own level of deliverance can be made more complete.
It also cannot be overstated that if you want to be forgiven, you must also forgive those who come to you asking for forgiveness, and turn over any desire of revenge to God the Father, “…to whom vengeance belongeth" (Psalm 94:1). Instead of revenge we must rather “love your enemies” (Matthew 5:44). Also, if anyone has sincerely repented to you and asked your forgiveness, you must forgive them. You cannot withhold forgiveness and continue in a grudge or bitterness. If you go to them with an offense and they refuse to repent to you, however, after bringing otherswith you and even the Church, you are not to continue in fellowship with them to provide them more opportunities to continue in abuse. With these clarifications, just know, if you won't forgive, God can't forgive you, thus prohibiting yourself from becoming part of the kingdom of Heaven.
Returning to a Believers early stages, after the initial repentance, the Believer should invite Jesus to live inside His body, as the body is the temple of God. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man ask, I will enter and sup with him and he with me" (Rev 3:20). This invitation will cause both the Father and the Son to make their abode in you by the Holy Spirit (John 14:23-
The evidence of this occurring will be the speaking of other tongues (Mark 16:15-
The final element is that the new Believer will want to tell others about this miracle of salvation that has happened in his own life.
As time goes on, one can easily maintain his salvation simply by living in obedience to God's Word, and by repenting and seeking forgiveness any time he falls back into sin.
More often than not, when one has a pet (repetitive) sin, demon(s) are present and they must simply be cast out. This can be a daily battle at first, but in time these demons will be tired of being casted out and leave you alone as you improve your sensitivity to spiritual matters. Jesus says: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (Matt 5:48) and this is what the Believer strives for, seeking God for help in so doing.
Salvation through Jesus alone…
The whole truth, what is required, and No Paul confusion
