Salvation: Salvation. Is by the Grace of Jesus, but there is a cleansing process to get to Him. You can not go to Jesus dirty. Would you go to work dirty or school or anywhere dirty if you had hot water, soap and clean clothes?
Please understand that Confession and Repentance are not the same.... Confession is to confess something... Repentance is to be sorrowful and turn away from it.... Big difference... Confession may be repeated 100's of times if you never quit or turn away from what you are confession...
Jesus Said, "You must be born again." John Chapter 3 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Q - Is Salvation grace only? A. Yes- Can you add ANYTHING to the blood of Jesus ? Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
You can pray all day and all night, and you should- but it won't add to the blood- it will count for obedience. You can cover your face, your heard and your entire body, but it won't add to the blood of Jesus. You can dance, shout and fast until you die, but it will not add to the blood of Jesus... Nothing can replace or add to the blood- The work and the price that Jesus already paid for us at Calvary. Don't try to work for it, you will anger the Lord... Only have Faith in Jesus' gift- Acts Chapter 1-2 Repent for your sins and turn away from them. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Trust in His forgiveness... And obey His command to be born again See john 3:1-5 spread the gospel - live a holy life and seek His presence daily. 2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, Ephesians 1:13 Jesus In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Acts 2 (New International Version) Acts 2The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.Peter Addresses the Crowd14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! 16No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:17" 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' 26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
36"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." 37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" 38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." 40With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." 41Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. The Fellowship of the Believers42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
