Salvation Message

[houstonupci]

Looking for some opinions...

How often should a pastor preach the Salvation message?
My thoughts are that no visitor should ever leave without understanding that they must:

1) Repent
2) Be baptized
3) Receive the Holy Ghost (with speaking in tongues as evidence).

What would you do if you felt your pastor did not preach the salvation message as often as you would like?

If we really believe the message of the way the Bible is divided into sections called Gospels, Acts, and Epistles, would we ever preach the salvation message unless everyone there was not saved? Would it be OK to preach the salvation message if the church was full of saved people?

1) My thoughts are that I'd hate to have to hear you preach!
2) The three things you listed isn't the message of salvation!

Isn't easier to get saved in this movement than to stay saved?

Yes, Pastor Brett Jones hit on this in his message on Sunday ...

In the movement we were a part of ... you were saved on Sunday ... lost on Monday and Tuesday ... saved again on Wednesday ... lost until Sunday again.

It is a message of constant guilt and condemnation where God is looking to condemn rather than save ....

His text and message was centered around God always devising a means to save ... namely in His Son, Jesus Christ ...even when there's no hope and the water seems spilt on the ground ....

For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him. 2 Samuel 14:14

Jesus is the plan of SALVATION.

Well, you won't ever have to hear me preach, as I'm not a preacher. Just a person seeking the truth, as I would hope you are. Your arrogance is very annoying to me.

And your thin-skinned judgmentalism is annoying me so I guess we're even. Look, I just said I wouldn't wanna hear you preach if all you talked about was the three-steps. And I also said your version of the 3-steps isn't the "Plan of salvation." Do you disagree? Let's try dialoging rather than judging....if you're able.

Yes I do disagree. I believe the "three steps" are vital to salvation. They may not be the only part, but they are definitely vital.

Also, your quote was not that you wouldn't wanna hear me preach if all I talked about was the three-steps. You said you would "hate to have to hear me preach."

Why are the 3-steps part of salvation? Isn't salvation found in Grace and Mercy through Jesus and the cross?
