What is Salvation?

Salvation is the redemption of humanity to a right relationship with God, achieved through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It involves forgiveness of sins, spiritual rebirth, and the promise of eternal life.

What is salvation in the Bible?

Bible believers believe salvation is a gift from God, by grace through faith, not of works (Ephesians 2:8-9). We believe in Eternal Security. Once a person is born again, they are eternally secured and cannot lose their salvation, regardless of what sin may be committed in the future.
Because we believe salvation is a finished transaction, we reject any doctrine that attacks the simplicity of the Gospel or the free gift of God. Specifically, we reject:

  • Salvation by Works: Any attempt to earn or keep God’s favor through human effort.
  • Calvinism: Systems that undermine the “whosoever will” of the Gospel.
  • “Quick Prayerism”: Rushing someone through a prayer without a heart-felt understanding of their lost condition.
  • “Easy Believism“: A shallow profession that ignores biblical repentance.
  • “Lordship Salvation“: The false teaching that you must commit to personal reformation or “make Jesus Lord” of your behavior to be saved.
  • Sinless Perfectionism: The unscriptural idea that a believer can reach a point where they no longer have a sin nature.
