The Plan of Salvation from the Bible Illustrated

[rovingdesertfox]

Your first comment was very confronting to me. For this to be possible you have to be able to verify/prove/have evidence that what you are saying is true. Reading or referring to a book does not qualify as evidence.

I often picture Paul traveling around preaching his new found religion, and when asked how he knew it to be true, held up a book and said, "It's in this book, therefore it is true." How could anyone take him or you seriously? Where is your verifiable evidence?

[truefaithboy]

ONCE SAVED,ALWAYS SAVED..GOD BLESS!

[nonsuchfabio]

This is spiritual Marxism. A complete abandonment of personal responsibility for your own behavior. This essentially means that a 'Christian' has Carte Blanche to do anything he or she wishes (murder, rape steal, etc) and as long as they repent and accept Christ, they will have their sin 'paid' for them. Utter bullshit.

[Jason29n]

Give up your bronze age myths. Your god is imaginary.  There are no talking snakes, magical gardens, people living in whales bodies..

People simply adopt the beliefs of their parents. If you were born in India you would be a Hindu. Its all about where you were born.

Imagine if i said I think Elvis is still alive. You would say well there is no reason or proof to believe such a thing. When i say well i still believe, you would simply laugh at me.

[3161029]

@Jason29n

China and India are about 5% Christian now. 100 years ago, it was about 1%. 50 million came to know Jesus without their parents' help.

If God made the universe, surely he can perform simple "magic acts".

[Jason29n]

@3161029 Then believe in your clearly man made bull shit story, written by primitive men 2 thousand years ago. Live your life believing that and wish away the one life you actually do have. Then when you die, nothing will happen. Same either way but Im going to live this life to the fullest, unlike you.

[shabirmansour]

@3161029

wrong!! china alone now count now over 220 millions christians and and out that number there still some hiding christians want to keep their job.

as chinese autorities are softening the persecusion on christians due to the droping of crimes, the gospel preachers are not to hide so much more

[JesusSaves1Way]

the bible is very clear in telling us exactly what we must do to be saved. yes Jesus died to save us but we must respond to what he did by believing in him, repenting of our sins, confessing him as lord and savior, being baptized(immersed) and continuing in the faith. please do not just take my word for this, study salvation in the bible without any presuppostions and you will come to the same conclusion. no where does the bible say to pray a prayer to be saved.

[JesusSaves1Way]

i am sure this mans intentions are good, however he is deceived. the bible clearly tels us what we must do to be saved. believe, repent, confess, be baptized and continue in the faith. this man has no right to exclude any of these steps or to add to them by telling you to pray a prayer . this is not in the bible anywhere, if you are reading this , dont just take my word for it , study salvation in the bible by yourself and you will come to the same conclusion.

[juicyfruitcake]

everything was right EXCEPT for the part he said that if we trust Jesus is our savior, from that moment on we are saved and have eternal life. so why do we still have to follow GOD's commandments? we all can have eternal life. In ALMA 7:14 says"... that ye must repent, and be born again; for the spirit saith if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven." we must repent our sins to GOD and never do them again. And then we can receive the blessings of exaltation.

[tercelkisor]

NO! no no no! Hank is a senile fool. speading lies about the savior. when you are saved, god sanctifies you over your life. you dont get saved by praying and then choose to serve him. you serve him. he came to save us from sin! foolish foolish man. and a dark place is reserved for him in hell. far deeper than all of his false converts who trust in their own repetition of a prayer prayed by an idiot who knows not god.

[rloandelo]

God is always good. Gods salvation is by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. Rich, poor, drunkard or prostitute can be saved. Evidence you're saved?? 1.You know you're saved. 2. You repented of your old sins and things are diferent now! And you might have less problems in your life as far as relationships go because you're kinder and more patient because you have Gods love in your heart!! Praise the Lord

[rloandelo]

Amen. Those who make fun and are cynical aren't ready to hear. That's all. There's been upset after upset in their lives and do not believe there is any one who could truly love them and treat them with respect. There heart is hard.

I witness constantly. Doors are closed on us and I don't take it personal because its not me they are rejecting. Its Jesus. People know why we're at the door; especially on a saturday morning!!

[jonsalvator]

Dude, you seem like a nice enough man, but please loosen your tie & listen.

The idea we are born into "sin" is parallel to the idea we are born into the establishment of slavery. We live within a setting of lies and so are born into sin by default, not as individual "sinners."

The Bible is a plan. It's a plan that has been laying around for centuries for people to step up to & fulfill it to release people once and for all from oppressive forces. Anything less at this point is a lie/excuse.

[outtherein1976]

Luke 24:46-47, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in HIS NAME among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. So Repentance and Baptisim in His Name (Yeshua) for the REMISSION of SINS was Preached in HIS NAME in Jerusalem, Acts 2:38. Baptisim was Commanded in Acts 10:48. This all comes through faith and believing, these things are not works.

[NTRevelation]

Amen!

Clear explanation!

[crespabs]

Is acting on our faith not our works? Faith with never as good if we will only have faith... we must act it, work it to justify our faith like Abraham on the book of James. I am confuse on people arguing on this. Works and Faith works together I guess...

[outtherein1976]

The apostles taught to Repent, and to be baptized in the NAME of the Messiah (Yeshua) for the REMISSION of SINS and then receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The name Jesus was not used. There is only one Name people. Acts 2:38, 4:12, 10:48, 19:5, 22:16. Also Romans 6:3-5. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

For IF we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

[EzraLionHeart1]

Absolutely right on!

[daciusj]

Did not Jesus himself say that you can not enter the kingdom without being born again of the water and the spirit; John 3:1-8

[thepaperfootball]

Hear Gods word Romans 10:17

Believe that Jesus died for u and that he is the son of God John 3:16

Repent & be baptized. Acts 2:37-38

Live faithful to Gods only one doctrine Rev. 2:10.

Notice how in the NT that the Apostles preached the same thing. If John3:16 was all we had to do what about the verses listed above, are they not as important? Look at Acts 9:25-40 about Philip and the Eunuch. Look at Acts 10 about Cornelius. Anyone today must follow these steps to become saved.

God Bless.

[trustchristnow]

There are not steps only believe.

Perhaps there is no verse in the New Testament so misinterpreted and misunderstood as Acts 2:38. Those who would add works to salvation that is by faith alone seem to use Acts 2:38 as their proof text, especially those who teach water baptism is necessary for salvation. They try to use Acts 2:38 to support their view.

[thepaperfootball]

i agree that we can be assured of going to Heaven but "Don't be fooled," Salvation is not given to those who just believe in him. James 2:19, The believes in God and he is not going to Heaven. Comment 2 list all you have to to be saved.

[trustchristnow]

James 2:19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Their faith only adds to their torment at the thought of having to meet Him who is to consign them to their just doom: James is talking about SATAN "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;" 2 Peter2:4

[bibleword]

This was a great presentation of God's message of salvation. It is by faith in Christ ALONE apart from anything that we do. Praise God for you, brother!

[johnyjamie]

Why do you quote Bob Marley, the dead pot head Rastifarian? He Didn't believe God's Word that when Jesus comes back there will be no mistake. Why would you believe Bob over what God says? This life is temporary and there is life after we die here. It's either eternal punishment in hell for rejecting Jesus or eternal life in heaven if you receive Jesus by faith.

[DanHall4RonPaul]

He is about 99.999% correct. The only mistake he is making is that even our attempt to choose or believe or accept... is not in any way the action on our part that brings us to salvation. God gives us through His Word and the action of the Holy Spirit a new heart. He saves us. Not anything we do.

[pschul00]

Wronnggg.. We have the choice its our free will to choose god has not chosen for us..

[PhotoNikonD300]

Most Priest & Pastors are preaching the Gospel through someone else's interpretation. Dr. Lindstrom knows that if you study the Bible carefully, the Bible will interpret itself.

[PhotoNikonD300]

Why don't any of you skeptics try looking into his web site. Maybe you'll learn something. I listened to his radio show for about a year before I decided to visit his church in May of 07. I've been going ever since. I have learned & understand more about the Bible these last 2 years then I have in the last 40 in other churches. And unlike so many other Priest & Pastors, he knows that if he interprets the Bible wrongly in any way, he WILL be held accountable.

[skiljore]

Thank you! And listen up, people, it's "whosoever will" believe on Christ as their only hope of heaven...ANYBODY can be saved...Christ paid for the sins of the world! When you realize you are a sinner and then trust that Jesus Christ paid for your sins by His death on the cross and that He arose from the dead 3 days later, He saves you...it's that simple...He cannot lie. If you trust Jesus as your Savior He will save you. Period.

It takes 10-seconds.

[brainouty]

Awesome video. Stresses the same thing I just did as a video on John 3:16, the present tense of the verb! Would you mind posting this video as a response to my "John 3:16" video? I especially liked how Dr. Linstrom said the admission prayer to Father was an OPTION, not a requirement, to be saved. Exactly true. So rare, to hear the TRUE GOSPEL of BELIEVE ONLY, in Christendom!

[GetOutOfChurchNow]

This video is a perfect example of the huge lie that is spreading throughout the world, namely that one can come to Christ of their own will. God tells us clearly in the Bible that He chose a people for Himself from before the foundation of the world, and that we are to hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

[jeremydmarshall]

So are you one of the ones that God has chosen? I guess you can go out and stab your mother now?? Because you are chosen right??

You mouth is the one spilling out lies, we are here to CHOOSE to follow Christ, and CHOOSE to do good. You cannot simulataneously do evil and be chosen by God. That is hypocrisy my friend.

[GetOutOfChurchNow]

jeremydmarshall: This is not about me, but rather what God says. Who choses?

Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.

Psalms 65:4 Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy temple.

[thor697]

Just 4 verses before that Jesus says "And this is the will of him that sent me, that EVERY ONE which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."

[thor697]

John 12:32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." First John tells us that we may KNOW that we HAVE eternal life.

[teeckard]

Ever thought about this?: Human beings depend on their bodies for any sensation whatever, including any sense of even existing. If one's body is dead and in the ground, how could a "person" feel anything or even have any sense of existence without the body?

[REPENTLuke13three]

Amen Brother, God saves us through faith in His SOn,As I can testify, Jesus sved me from commiting suicide 14 years ago, And called me to preach the gospel to all who will hear. So if you are not saved ask him to forgive you, REPENT of your sin TURN from the old life and serve God by faith in His SOn Jesus Christ Hebrews 12 2, I hope to see you all in heaven.JESUS IS COMING SOON!

[angiefrance888]

He makes the gospel clear. It if faith in Jesus' finished work on the cross. Jesus did it all. You can do nothing to earn salvation!!!!!

[ibarry16]

Oh yes it is true. I am a first hand witness. The Holy Spirit is in me now that I have trusted Christ as my Savior. I was as you before. It made no sense to me then, but it sure does now!

[ginamoretti]

His creation and perfect design is one evidence of God.

you have never experienced the separation of being apart from Gods glory since HE created you.

[Simon91666]

AAAAALLL BULLLSHIT

1. There is no evidence for god

2. There is no evidence that what the bible says is true

3. The whole christian story a nice fairy tale, nothing more

4. The people 2000 years ago were basically stupid and believed everything they were told (just look at Life of Brian ^^). it´s sad that nowadays people are still afraid of "god´s judgement"

[ginamoretti]

Simon i am not sure if your post was a serious one But to answer your post i would like to say that since the day we are born we are experiencing Gods glory in His creation, We are design with intelligence and heart to know in our deepest part that this life is not an accident i hope as you walk through your life you will experience evidence of God in a very private way may you make the choice to be or not to be with God with enough research and without ignorance

[Simon91666]

first, yes my comment WAS serious

ginamoretti, please give me one evidence for god, you can´t.

All you can do is speculate.

The bible is not an evidence.

Our existence is not an evidence.

Coincidences that are known as "miracles" are no evidence.

[ginamoretti]

give this a chance

u tube

eternity part 1

there are 10 parts

I dare anyone out there to watch the whole thing

simon if the watch the whole thing let me know

[Simon91666]

what do you mean? what shall i watch?

[legoboll]

Hey look I don´t have to take resposible for my own actions, Jesus died for me so I lay it all on him. pffft this is fucking bullshit... God is imaginary!

[nawoichik]

Man's efforts, regardless of how good or well intended, before or after salvation, have nothing to do with it. Salvation is by the finished work of Christ and nothing can be added to it. If you have not trusted Christ as your Saviour, then you need to trust Him now! You will receive eternal life and the forgiveness of your sins the moment that you trust that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again from the dead.

[likeaflint]

Good job!

[cjunk351]

lol. How ridiculous. Greatest story ever told alright!. Nothing but guilt guilt guilt. All religions are the same, They just have different holidays. I am just a 35 year old working class bloke from Australia and I know more than all these christian preachers

[MrHuggy05]

yeah, well this isnt religion, it is the true wod of god religion come s from the greek word religo which means "man's way of getting to heaven" this isn't man's way it is GOD'S way. not all religions are the same, the jews and jehova's witnesses dont believe in jesus, the islams want the jews dead, and the catholics think everyone is going to hell, pick up a bible and trust in jesus becuase if you were to die right now, you would be going to hell.

[cjunk351]

Yeah right. I doubt very much that is how that word was ACTUALLY understood by religous people. Besides, christianity is a religion. And if I die right now, I will be going to sleep like every one else has. This bloke says the same as every other christian religion.

[MrHuggy05]

it is NOT religion, this isn't "christian" or whatever, this is the true word of God, I personally know this man he would agree. This IS how the word was understood and how the word has always been, religions screw it up becuase religion's try to do it man's way and not God's way of getting to heaven. If you don't believe me PICK UP A BIBLE!

[MrHuggy05]

It is ALL there, listen to the verses he is saying and check the OLDEST bible you can find, I have found one from 1732 that i found on eBay, it says the EXACT same thing. It is the true word of God. You wont be goint to sleep you will be going to hades really, and then after the rapture, tribulation, second coming, and 1000 year reign of christ on earth you will be cast into hell.

[cjunk351]

Yes I use to get right into the prophecies of the bible etc 15 years ago. more than most people.

Its the true word of God because what this guy says is found in a bible from 1732?? come on.

Its intesting you use the word 'Hades'. Like I said, christianity is based on previous greek pagan myths. and One of them is 'Hades'
