Evangelicals say that ALL people must accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior to receive grace. I haven't heard of any Christians who say accepting Yahweh will lead to salvation.

@GaryKColeman (cont) Regarding resurrection, aka life after death, the answer is that because Jesus was resurrected, those who put their trust in him can also look forward to the same experience following our physical death. Regarding those who are not "saved", Revelation says everyone will be judged, which presumably will be a physical event with a physical body, therefore everyone should get a body for that. Sorry for being vague, I just trust that if God's in charge, it'll work out! :D

@GaryKColeman Hi Gary, apologies for the delay in replying. I actually just listened to a podcast from my church a few weeks ago on Luke 10, which includes Jesus' encounter with the Jewish lawyer. Yes, it is the Jewish God, Yahweh, for I don't know of another God who is alive and moving on the earth today. Jews, like me (a "Gentile") are saved by grace, and I'm glad we are, because I could never earn salvation by my own works!

@superwoody104

When Jesus said "Love the Lord your God," He was talking to a Jewish lawyer. So, I'm thinking that He meant the Jewish God, Yahweh. If that is the case, then the Jews are saved through grace.

I have asked some, who have read the New Testament, about the resurrection. One says, "All will be resurrected," another says that only the "saved" will be resurrected & that will happen at the time of the rapture.

So, what is the real answer?

[superwoody104]

@GaryKColeman (cont) which is what John the Baptist preached! If we are saved by grace, then baptism is a suggested optional extra, not essential but personally endorsed by Jesus. Regarding resurrection of the dead, I think you'd have to read the New Testament, to see what Jesus says on the matter. Enjoy your weekend! :D

@GaryKColeman (cont) grace, which is underserved favour. The greek word "baptizo" means "to pickle" or "immerse", it doesn't directly refer to being dunked in water, although many churches would assume it does. When Jesus says "make disciples...baptizing in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit..." I would say this means that the new believer is "immersed" in all things God, which will help them live out their Christian life. Baptism in water is a public declaration of a renewed life...

@GaryKColeman Jesus answered this first question with "Love the Lord your God with all your heart", and "Love your neighbour", essentially summarising the 10 commandments, or the whole law of the Jewish Bible (Torah). However, we are saved through grace, and covered by the sin-less life of Jesus Christ, and therefore even though we can't keep to God's commandments, we will still be saved through trusting in Jesus' death for us. I think this answers the second question too; we are saved by...
