Understanding How to Truly Be Saved

Publisher Marketing: Many people may find this text offensive. But my desire for many years has been to understand why so many of the people that regularly attend church do not get more involved in the church's ministries. While not everyone will agree with my general conclusion, it is that most of those people are not really saved. I do not want to be a judge or even sound judgmental. But the simple fact is that the Bible teaches throughout a life of Christian SERVICE and MINISTRY for the Lord by ALL followers of Christ. Therefore, as will be discussed in the following pages, one of my conclusions is that the template types of prayer for salvation that many people are usually told to repeat do not work. Because of that, I have tried to explain what does work and how saved people actually got saved. In my opinion, true biblical salvation does not result from repeating the simple words of a simple prayer. It only occurs when sincere people SEEK the Lord with all of their heart, when they COMMIT to Him, when they TRUST in Him, and when they enter into a personal RELATIONSHIP with Him. Anything less is not real salvation. This is a very short text that should not take anyone long to read. In writing it, my goal has NOT been to bring into question anyone's profession of Faith in Christ. But it has been to encourage ALL people to examine themselves to be sure that they are in the Faith. My overall objective as always has been to present to the best of my abilities the truth of the Scriptures and to also tell others how to NOT die lost. In my opinion, hades is already full enough.
