In this day we must be on guard against another gospel .
So let us all examine how specific the early church was about knowing and understanding that in order to be saved one had to confess JESUS by mouth , believing in Him as the absolute only name whereby one could be saved .
Let us start in acts with what peter told the second chapter . Peter was addressing a crowd who had mocked at some who were speaking in tongues .
He goes on to explain the entire event using the words of the prophets .
Then some asked him , what must we do ?
To which peter replies Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost . acts chapter two v 37 and 38
A little later , as seen in acts chapter three he is speaking to others reminding them to repent and believe .
Peter then goes on in verse twenty three to say , and it shall come to pass that every soul that will not hear that prophet , meaning JESUS ,
will be destroyed from among the people . So we see already they knew that even jews could not be saved unless they believed in Christ .
Later , in chapter four He explains to the leaders that JESUS is the stone which was set at nought of you builders
which has become the head of the corner . In the next verse ,which is verse twelve of chapter four , He says
Neither is their salvation in any other ,for there is NO other name given under heaven whereby one may be saved .
That was both john and peter and the other apostels .
Now let us examine paul . He too told the jews , seeing you reject eternal life , lo we go unto the gentiles .
Now paul explains well what the gosple entails . Specially in romans chapter ten .
We will start at verse nine . That if you shall confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus
and shall believe from the heart that God has raised Him from the dead you shall be saved .
Paul is making clear that Jesus must be confess by the mouth and believed from the heart that God has rose Him from the dead in order to be saved .
In verse ten we see why this is .
For with the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the Mouth CONFESSION is made unto Salvation . Solid proof that is how one is saved .
We go to john next . He makes it very clear that if one does not beleive that JESUS is the Son of GOD , IF one does not beleive the testimony that GOD gave of His SON they are of the Spirti of anti Christ .
We see real clear in chapter five verse ten .
HE that believes ON the Son of GOD has the witness in himself . But he that believes not GOD has made him to be a liar
Because he has not believed the record that GOD has given of His Son .
And this is the record that God has Given to us , eternal life and this life is in HIS SON .
He that has the SON has life , and he that has not the Son of GOD does not have life .
In verse fifteen of the fourth chapter he makes something else real clear .
Whosoever shall confess that JESUS is the SON of GOD
God dwells in Him and he in God .
in verses thirteen and fourteen john writes this as well .
Here is how we know we dwell in Him and HE in us , by the Spirit which He has given us . AND we have seen
and do testify that GOD sent His son to be the savoir of the world .
So we must believe this . we must confess JESUS by mouth and believe from the heart that GOD has rose Him from the dead in order to be saved .
So be on gaurd everyone . For we have a false all inclusive social gosple which states all religions are serving the same GOD . THIS is a lie . And as i reminded
us in the very short reminder above , IF we do not believe in Christ , IF we do not confess HIM , we are not saved and we do not know God .
