What is Salvation (as from the whole counsel of Scripture)?
John 3:16 (belief born of conviction) Rom 10:9-10 (confession) Eph 2:8-9 (faith and grace)
Titus 3:5 (not of works) Luke 24:45-47 (repentance)

BELIEF, CONFESSION, FAITH, GRACE, REPENTANCE

God, I believe Your Son, Jesus, came and died to pay the penalty for my sin. I want to follow Jesus as my Lord. I put my faith and trust in Your grace and not any work of mine. Please forgive me of all my sin and save my soul.

Baptism is not part of salvation (1 Peter 3:21 explains the misunderstanding of Acts 2:38)
Church is not a part of salvation (Church is a gathering of the believer)
Good works are not a part of salvation (personal effort as an aid to grace is condemned)

What does God do?
Accepted Rom 8:1; 15:7
Gives us victory over Satan Col 1:13
We are washed clean 2 For 5:17; Titus 3:5; 1 John 1:9
