Salvation

According to the Bible, the inspired, written Word of God, a person is saved by repenting from their sins, surrendering their life to God, and trusting in Him alone for their salvation.

^_^ are you in favor of one save always save??

Yes, I am, because I believe that God, being sovereign over all men, has chosen those who come to salvation from before the beginning of time and therefore as 1 Peter 1:5 references, God guards an individual's salvation.

Well, I referred to those men because I've learned so much more about the Bible as a result of their preachings and teachings. Yes, I am a Christian, and strive to follow Jesus as the only way not only to heaven, but as the only satisfaction and joy to be found in this life. When I referred to Reformed Christianity, I'm speaking of the Protestant Reformation - are you familiar? These men are seeking to expound the truth of the Word of God. The specific doctrine I was alluding to is the Doctrine of Grace. This means that I believe that God irrisitibly draws people to Himself, that man is inherently sinful and lost without God's saving grace in his or her life. This website http://www.grace.org.uk/faith/calvin.html offers a good explaination of what I'm trying to say. I apologize for the incoherancy of my explaination - I hope I at least made a little sense to you!
