How to be Saved: A Hard Teaching

I've just finished Walter Veith's "Total Onslaught" series (about 40 hours of content), and, I have to say, what was presented over those thirty-six episodes is the Truth - and a difficult one at that.

I have learned much, and been forced to reevaluate many of the things I previously thought to be True. I have even had to humble myself and realize that I really knew nothing of the Bible at all.

WARNING: If you are not ready for the full Truth, do not continue reading. For you will have to change your life for the sake of Jesus Christ, if you do.

Thanks to Walter Veith, Amazing Discoveries, and the Seventh Day Adventist Church, I now know that the TRUE instruction of the Bible for how to be saved, is this:

1. We MUST believe on the Testimony of Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is God in the flesh and we must believe it. This is why Jesus asked those He healed if they believed, and why in His hometown He could not heal many because they did NOT believe (only seeing Him as the boy who grew up there, the son of the carpenter). This is not to mean that Jesus didn't have the power to do it. It means that Jesus is only offering His salvation (His healing) IF we believe! Many Christians think it is simpler than it is - we believe so we are saved. Yes... to some extent. But, there is more to it. You will see in the next points, I promise you. Just read on if you have come this far.
2. We MUST keep the Ten Commandments: Jesus Christ died to save us because we have transgressed against the Law of God (for if you transgress one you transgress all, and none can keep them all). The Ten Commandments is God's Law and we believe on Jesus Christ to save us for transgressing against God's Law. So, why then would we continue to transgress? Keep the Ten Commandments. Now, continue on, I promise that at the end, it will all make sense.
3. We MUST be Baptized: Jesus Christ Himself said (John 3:5) that unless we are baptized in water and spirit, He will not pardon us and we will thus not see the Kingdom of God. The proper way to be Baptized is as the Bible teaches. This way is as this: A man who already believes on Jesus Christ and has been baptized must lower you into water, fully submerging you, then lift you back out - this is done only one time.

Now I know many of you may now be worried that you, and those you love, shall not be saved... but there is more. Although many do not keep the Ten Commandments, and many have not been Baptized... and you may just be further upset with me when you learn this, but...

Here is how one could be saved by their belief on Jesus Christ alone:

1. They MUST not know that Jesus Christ requires we both keep God's Law and be Baptized, along with believing on Jesus Christ. If a person knows and understands that Jesus Christ requires we keep the Law and be Baptized but does not then make honest effort to do so, it shall then be accounted to them for sin. If one continues to refuse the Ten Commandments and be Baptized, then they shall not see the Kingdom of God.

This means that before I informed you of what the Scripture speaks of, of what Jesus Christ commands, of what being a True Christian is all about, to not keep the Ten Commandments and/or not to have been Baptized would not be a sin, and God would have overlooked your transgression for the sake of your ignorance of the knowledge - did I not warn you, and did I not say you may be upset?

At the moment of my writing this, I have not been Baptized. I believe on Jesus Christ as God in the flesh and my Savior, and I try to keep the Ten Commandments (as this is the reason Jesus Christ had to sacrifice Himself for us in the first place!) but I have not been Baptized.

I now know what God requires, and I know that I have come short of that. But, if I should die before I have the chance to be Baptized, even though I now know, will I be damned? No. For God is merciful and knows all things. He knows that even though I have just learned the Truth, I did not have the chance to have an honest to God Christian man Baptize me. Be that as it may, I am now ready to be Baptized and will make an active effort to be Baptized as soon as possible.

May God in Jesus Christ lead all those who seek Him unto the full Truth,

Logos Prevailing.
