THE SEVEN COSMIC FUNCTIONS OF THE LORD JESUS:
6. REDEMPTION & SALVATION
SALVATION is the LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF (Exo. 15:2; Ps. 27:1; 62:2; Ps. 118:14;
Isa. 12:2; Lk. 19:9; 1Thes. 5:9).
Salvation in Greek word is SOTER= a deliverer, i.e., God or
Christ-Saviour. Salvation from sin has been accomplished by the LORD JESUS
CHRIST alone for all death bound sinners, and He alone is the Saviour of the
world (Ti. 1:3, 4; 2:13; 3:6; 2Pet. 1:1).
Without the LORD JESUS, there is no SALVATION (Ac. 4:12) and because SALVATION is exclusively the
LORD JESUS CHRIST and REDEMPTION was His fulfilled work (Jn. 19:30; Tit. 2:14), well accomplished by Him
once for all (Heb. 10:10), it is forever the
Amazing Grace for all human kind (Eph. 2:8, 9).
Therefore this once for all well done work of the LORD JESUS CHRIST
as the eternal SALVATION (Heb. 5:9) strictly
nullifies any false account of SALVATION that deceitfully spread out in this
world.
These false beliefs about SALVATION of sectarian churches are
enumerated below:
1. The belief that SALVATION can be obtained not
just by faith in the LORD JESUS CHRIST, nor just by the Magnificent Perfect
accomplished work of the LORD JESUS, but it is by good works such as the
performance of the seven sacraments, that they regularly practice in their
church services.
2. An organized churches here have a fixed erroneous doctrine that
salvation is attainable only when anyone becomes a member of their church.
3. There is false belief of a sect, that whatever
they considered good works that they had done, even suicidal intention to
destroy their enemies in warfare, is being regarded as salvation of soul for
anyone who did it.
4. In a sectarian church, they have impertinent
wrong doctrine about SALVATION that baptism is an inevitable requirement to be
saved.
5. In another sectarian church they have wrong
doctrine that SALVATION is unconditional. They thought that once saved will
forever be saved even when they return to sin.
6. The exponent of a religious cult have an erroneous
assertion, that SALVATION is equated to nothing but the fullest enjoyment of the
world until all ended by death. This is according to their wrong belief that
this will be attained by total separation from the world.
