This makes me wonder (not sure) if you are trully saved.DAVEH: Why you would wonder about that, I'm not sure. "I have explained to you in the past what Biblical belief is." Simply having the Holy Spirit does not indicate salvation. One isn't saved until they believe AND are baptized (Mk 16:16), AND THEN endure to the end (Mt 24:13). At that "end" time, one is saved by returning to our Father in heaven.
Your nephew said he was not saved. Now he is in New Orleans teaching people how to NOT BE SAVED.DAVEH: Actually, Jeff is in the middle of the hurricane! And from what I've heard tonight, he may have been "saved" from it! <VBG> I think Jeff is teaching the people there that Jesus has by virtue of his resurrection and atonement, saved them. But until they avail themselves of his atoning grace by accepting him with a baptismal covenant, they will be subject to the whims and many conflicting doctrines of men.
--DAVEH: I guess that is what I'm not comprehending about Protestant theology. As many have said previously, all that is required for salvation is a belief in Jesus. If that is true, and all the Protestant sects teach such.....then why would any of
their adherents be led to damnation (due to beliefs in false or misleading doctrines) instead if they are "believing in Jesus"? Logic would suggest that there must be more to salvation than 'belief'.
