.what is saved? if our judgment has not yet come....how are we "saved"? if you're under grace and are saved...& you (for instance) kill someone tomorrow..will you still be "saved"? if we are already forgiven for everything -past & present- due to "grace" ...what is the point of judgment or what would we be judged for? i think it is an extreme gamble to teach/believe this since Eternal Salvation is at stake and the bible contradicts this. please provide scripture for your views if possible....

I agree with you. This what I have been trying to convey to the Sunday Christians. It doesn't make sense with their belief system ,and it is plainly historic, and not Biblical. I wish that they didn't take it so personal. I had to change by belief system 3 times. I was first at the Sunday church. ST. Paul Baptist Church Ironically doing the Roman Christianity, but I it did not make sense with what the Bible said and what they taught. I started to read up on Paganism, and I was like here is the truth. Then I found the true Christianity and it hasn't stop making sense. I had to swallow my pride because at the time I did not know that pride was of the devil. I went through this 3 times. Hear me! 3 Times I changed by belief system, and most people never do it once!!!
I wanted to bring this back up because I thought it should be discussed further.
Salvation is deliverance from danger or suffering. To save is to deliver or protect. The word carries the idea of victory, health, or preservation. Sometimes, the Bible uses the words saved or salvation to refer to temporal, physical deliverance, such as Paul’s deliverance from prison (Philippians 1:19).

More often, the word “salvation” concerns an eternal, spiritual deliverance. When Paul told the Philippian jailer what he must do to be saved, he was referring to the jailer’s eternal destiny (Acts 16:30-31). Jesus equated being saved with entering the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:24-25).

What are we saved from? In the Christian doctrine of salvation, we are saved from “wrath,” that is, from God’s judgment of sin (Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9). Our sin has separated us from God, and the consequence of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Biblical salvation refers to our deliverance from the consequence of sin and therefore involves the removal of sin.

Who does the saving? Only God can remove sin and deliver us from sin’s penalty (2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 3:5).

How does God save? In the Christian doctrine of salvation, God has rescued us through Christ (John 3:17). Specifically, it was Jesus’ death on the cross and subsequent resurrection that achieved our salvation (Romans 5:10; Ephesians 1:7). Scripture is clear that salvation is the gracious, undeserved gift of God (Ephesians 2:5, 8) and is only available through faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).

How do we receive salvation? We are saved by faith. First, we must hear the gospel—the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection (Ephesians 1:13). Then, we must believe—fully trust the Lord Jesus (Romans 1:16). This involves repentance, a changing of mind about sin and Christ (Acts 3:19), and calling on the name of the Lord (Romans 10:9-10, 13).

A definition of the Christian doctrine of salvation would be “The deliverance, by the grace of God, from eternal punishment for sin which is granted to those who accept by faith God’s conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus.” Salvation is available in Jesus alone (John 14:6; Acts 4:12) and is dependent on God alone for provision, assurance, and security.

We were created to have a relationship with God. Because of our sin, we are separated from that relationship. Even worse, our sin will cause us to be separated from God for all of eternity, in this life and the next (Romans 6:23; John 3:36).

Jesus took our sin upon Himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we deserve. Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death (Romans 6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His death as the payment for our sins, all of our sins are forgiven and washed away. We will have access to a fulfilling life. We will know our true best friend and good shepherd. We will know that we will have life after we die—a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
Biblical salvation refers to our deliverance from the consequence of sin and therefore involves the removal of sin. This one statement makes you entire post false Sister Harris. Sin is the transgression of the Law. There is no removal of sin. With no sin, there is no death. We know that is not the case. People die everyday. There is forgiveness of sins past. Not sins present, not sin future.

1John3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Romans 3:24-31 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

The deeds of the Law was the sacrificing of animals for the law, that is why we don't make void the law because the law is good. This is why Paul said this in Romans 6 as well.

Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

Sin is the transgression of the law, what law, the commandments. The Lord only did away with the animal sacrifice law.

Hebrews 10:3-5 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me

Who was a body prepared for? It was Jesus. The Father prepared Jesus or the Messiah a body to be sacrificed for the sins past of man, and to put away the animal sacrifice because the Father did not delight in the animal sacrifice, but was a school master to bring us unto Christ or the Messiah. If you believe Jesus is the Messiah, you can not refute this scripture.

Daniel 9:26-27 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

So he died in the middle of the week, and he caused sacrifice and oblation tot cease. This is the messiah now. Cut off, but not for himself. Who was cut off, but not for himself? Jesus right? Here is the definition of Sacrifice and Oblation.

Sacrifice: (n.) the offering of animal, plant, or human life or of some material possession to a deity.

I am not trying to correct you for the sake of correcting you. I am trying to help you get some understanding, so you can be edified. This is the job of the Church.
I kinda figured I would not get a reply.
