The Answer To My Question

I sent the following question to someone I heard on the local Christian radio station. There was more to the E-mail I sent but their reply to the question found in it, is the issue here. Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’” John 20:17 (NKJV) After reading John 20:17, would you say Jesus’ God and Father and your God and Father are one and the same? Here is their reply. Mr. Masterson: I am not sure what your question means, but I affirm that God is one God, existing eternally in three co-equal and co-eternal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Best, (I intentionally removed the individual’s name to protect their identity.) Here is my reply: Thanks for the rapid response. I really do appreciate it. I believe Jesus is the Son of God. Believing that Jesus is the Son of God, as it would be for the one doing the same just prior to them taking their last breathe here on earth, means you are saved according to the Scriptures. If you're finding it problematic to say "Yes" to Jesus' God and Father and your God and Father being one and the same, know what's at stake here. Jesus said "I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God." I’ve sent this question to many. If I gave you the names of those that I have sent it to over a period of five years, you’d recognize the majority of them. To date I’ve only received one [direct] answer to it “Yes, and no,” which really isn’t an answer at all. Here’s my question: Would you say the person confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, saved according to the [Scriptures], and rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether, is saved? When I say “rejects the Anthanasian Creed altogether” I mean, treat the Anthanasian Creed as if it never existed at all. As one who loves Jesus, and who’s not ashamed to tell others about Him, I would say the person is saved. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:15 (NKJV) Once again, thanks for the rapid response. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you again. God bless. In His Care… Jim
