ARE MEN SAVED BY FAITH ONLY? BY STEVE FINNELL
If a person professes that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, is that person saved the moment that confession is made? Are men saved by faith only? There are 2.2 billion in the world that have made that profession, are they all forgiven? Are they all saved? Are they all part of the body of Christ? Are they all going to inherit the kingdom of because they were saved by faith only?
Anglicans, Amish, Mennonites, Baptists, Quakers, Seventh-day Adventist, Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, the Salvation Army, and all other denominations believe and profess that Jesus is the Son of God. Were they all saved by faith only?
Are demons saved by faith only? Luke 4:41 And the demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
Demons are not save by faith only and neither is anyone else.
