“That the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.” Ephesians 1:17 (NKJV)
In
the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.
If you’re confessing Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord and
the Savior of your life, but believing that you wouldn’t be saved if rejecting
the Anthanasian Creed altogether, you’re standing in a crossroad. The roads before you are the [Bible] and, the
writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible]. The decision that needs to be made as to
which road to take is between you and the all-knowing God of the [Bible].
It is my obligation to tell
you that sometime after choosing to believe in Jesus Christ, it is likely that
you’ve mistaken the writings of those not mentioned in the [Bible] for
the [Bible]. The person confessing Jesus
is the Son of God, the Lord and the Savior of their life, is saved.
Some believe that this person is not saved
without first believing the Anthanasian Creed, something that surfaced and
became doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325-AD. These are followers of the Anthanasian
Creed. For the past sixteen hundred plus
year’s, people have been led to believe the only way to salvation is found in
the Anthanasian Creed, when the writings of those found in the [Bible]
say differently.
It’s Sunday. A man
enters the local church. He’s in town on
business and hasn’t been seen inside a church for over fifty years, except for
weddings and funerals. If you knew this
man you’d say, he’s not interested in hearing about the [Bible]. He’s greeted by many, but remains a stranger
to them.
The message he heard that day was taken straight from the
[Bible], believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Unbeknownst to those present that day the man
wasn’t saved, when he entered the church that is.
Praise God, before the entire congregation, the man
confessed to being a sinner, thanked Jesus for dying on a cross for him, and
now believes in Jesus Christ. If I was
present that day, I’d say this man is saved.
After church the man was invited to lunch, an opportunity to
celebrate the moment. During this time
he mentioned that he was in town for another week, and would like to get
together again. “There’s a [Bible] study
on Wednesday night,” they said. With
great joy, he accepts the invitation.
It’s Wednesday. For
the first time this born again believer in Jesus Christ heard, unless one
believes the doctrine of the “Trinity” they cannot be saved. Confused, the man says, “Am I saved? Sunday’s message opened my eyes as to who
Jesus is, what He did for me. It changed
my life. All I want to do now is tell
people about Jesus. What is this
doctrine of the trinity?”
The rest is between you and the all-knowing God of the
[Bible], if you should happen to find yourself standing in the crossroad.
God bless.
In His Care… Jim
