There Is NoSalvation Without The Name of Jesus Christ:
Salvation Without The Name of Jesus Christ Is Impossible!!!
Apostle James R Winfree Sr, We Share Only Our Heavenly Father's Awesome News, The Gospel Of The Lord Jesus Christ, That Is Changing And Transforming Lives Forever!!!
There are people who act more like Jesus than some who claim to be Christian. Does a person have to literally profess the Name of Jesus to be saved, or can we see evidence of this in their life some other way?
I’m sure you’ve met someone who didn’t claim Jesus as their Lord and Savior yet actually acted like Him. What are we to do with this? Are these people saved? Can they be Christians even if they don’t claim and be baptized in His Name?
At a minimum, I’d suggest there are people who claim to be Christian that don’t act much like Jesus, and others who don’t claim to be Christian who act a lot like Him. I’m sure you can think of people who fit both categories in your own life. Sadly, claiming the Name of Jesus doesn’t equate to living like Him.
Yet the Church that Christ Jesus Himself birth and building seemed to be quite clear on their dependence on the Name of Jesus. Here are a few examples of this (Acts 2: 36-39):
“But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His Name.” John 20:31
“Apostle Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'” Acts 2:38
“But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” Acts 8:12
“So he ordered that they get baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked the Apostle Peter to stay with them for a few days.” Acts 10:48
“Apostle Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus.” Acts 19:4-5
“And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:11
“Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the Name that is above every Name, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11
“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” Colossians 3:17
“Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that openly profess his Name.” Hebrews 13:15
“And this is God's command: to believe in the Name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us.” 1 John 3:23
Clearly, there is life, or salvation, in the Name of Jesus. ?
“Do you want the Biblical answer or a theological one?”.
In John 14:6, “Jesus answered, ‘I Am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him, Jesus Christ.'” It might be helpful to think of it this way: whoever ultimately finds salvation will find it through Jesus Christ and no one else. Who that definitively includes is not something we will know. And that isn’t our job or responsibility to figure out as Christians. However Jesus does the saving, it will be Him doing it. We also don’t know what the “minimum requirements” are to experience the Father through Jesus as He references in this verse.
The good news for us is that we can passionately pursue Jesus and tell others about His Name. This gives them the opportunity to respond to Him as we have had. As we do that, we can also trust that God is big enough (and good enough) to perfectly measure the hearts and responses of everyone to Him.
Let’s go spread how good He is and what He’s done for us so that they can respond to Jesus the Savior of All humans souls. Amen to the gospel truth of God's Holy Word.
