1. The Basics of Salvation (for the unchurched)

1. The "Roman's Road"

   Rom. 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God...

   Rom. 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

   Rom. 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

   Rom. 10:9 That if you covenant [or "confess"] with your mouth, the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

2. Baptism (& What follows)

Acts 2:37-38 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of apostles, "Men and brothers, what shall we do?" Then Peter said unto them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

2. Hard-core Scriptures (mostly for the churched)

1. Jesus Said:

   Lk. 14:33 So in the same way, whoever of you who does not forsake everything he has, cannot be My disciple.

   Lk. 6:43 For a good tree does not produce bad fruit, nor does a bad tree produce good fruit.

   Mat. 3:10 And now also the ax is laid at the root of the trees, so that every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

   Lk. 6:46 Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things which I say?

   Jn. 14:15 If you Love Me, keep my commands... 23 ...If anyone loves Me, he will obey my words... 24 He who does not Love me will not obey my words.

2. The Bible Also Says:

1Jn. 2:4 He who says, "I have come to know him," but does not keep His commands is a liar, and the Truth is not in him.

1Jn. 3:6-10 Whoever remains in Him does not continue to sin. Whoever continues to sin has not seen Him, or known Him. 7 Little children, don't let anyone deceive you: he that does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He that continues to sin is of the devil; because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever is born of God does not continue to sin; for His seed remains in him: and he cannot go on sinning, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God…

• We should note that these are the minimum requirements for following Jesus and going to Heaven.

Most church people don’t meet these requirements, not to mention the average American.

3. Jesus is the Only Way to Heaven

See these Bible Verses:

[Side Note: "Yahweh," "Jehovah," & "The Lord"(God of Israel), are all translated from one Hebrew word]

*John 14:6 "I am The Way, The Truth, and the Life. No one comes to The Father except through Me."
