Series three: In this 3 part teaching I will expose the errors, share the truth, and help you to re-evaluate are you saved.

Assurance of Salvation—Can You Know For Sure If You’re Saved? 1 John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of Elohim; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of Elohim.” The word know (Greek: eido, Strong’s G1492) means to see, to know, to perceive with the mind, to understand, to know both by knowledge and inclination; to know intuitively as contrasted with the Greek word ginosko (Strong’s G1097) which means to know experientially.

1 John 3:1-2, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of Elohim: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of Elohim, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” The word now (Greek: nun, Strong’s H3568) means present, immediate. The word to know (Strong’s G1492 is eido, which we define above.
1 John 4:17-18, “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
1 John 4:1-21, “Those who love are born of YHVH, for YHVH is love and his son lives through us. YHVH dwells in us if we love one another. We know that he dwells in us because his Spirit dwells in us and the fruits of love are there as evidence: we love YHVH, we love one another and we keep his commandments.”
John 3:15-16, “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For Elohim so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 5:24, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day” (see also verse 47).
John 8:51, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
1 John 3:14 “We know (Strong’s G1492) that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren.” The word death (Greek thanatos, Strong’s G228) means death, natural or temporal death, physical death; also eternal, spiritual or the second death. By contrast, the word life (Greek zoe, Strong’s G2222) means life in the spirit and soul as distinguished from bios or physical life.
Romans 10:9-10, “…thou shalt be saved.” The word saved (Greek sozo, Strong’s G4982) means delivered, healed, preserved, made whole.
Romans 10:13, Whoever shall call upon the name of YHVH shall be saved. Acts 2:21, Same as above.
Romans 1:16, The Gospel of Messiah … is the power of YHVH unto salvation to everyone that believes.
Ephesians 23:1-10, We’re quickened and raised up together to seat in heavenly places with Messiah…
2 Timothy 1:9-10, Who hath saved us and called us with a holy calling.
Mark 16:17, The Great Commission: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. Many more Scriptures could be given.

Evangelism: Apostolic Scriptures (New Testament Model)  Evangelism according to the Scriptural model of preaching repentance and true conversion will more likely lead to fewer false converts (i.e., people who think they are saved, but who really aren’t—namely, they have not repented, been converted/regenerated in heart and spirit and are not walking in obedience to the commandments of Scripture) than the current church model of gaining converts which often leads either to false or superficial, shallowly-planted converts (people who name the name of Yeshua, but who aren’t walking the walk and have little or no spiritual fruit in their lives).

How Are We Saved? There are no examples of altar calls in Scripture.

Acts 2:14-37, The Word of Elohim was preached and the hearers were pricked in their hearts (verse 37). A spontaneous, Spirit of Elohim-led/driven response on the part of the hearers of the Gospel or Good News message of salvation through faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Yeshua, the Savior and Redeemer. Their course of action was to be immersed in the name of Yeshua for the remission of sins and to receive the Spirit of Elohim (verse 38). All this happened on the same day (verse 41). When led/driven by the Spirit of Elohim things can happen quickly.
Acts 4:19, Repent and be converted that your sins may be blotted out.
Acts 8:4-17, The Gospel was preached (in Samaria) and people believed it and were immersed. There were no altar calls; only a spontaneous reaction to the preaching of the Good News of the message of salvation through faith in Yeshua, who died on the cross in man’s place paying the death penalty price of man’s breaking the laws of Elohim.
Acts 8:26-38, Ethiopian Eunuch—He hears the Message of salvation through Yeshua and the Eunuch asks to be immersed (verse 36). He is told to believe with all his heart that Yeshua is the Son of YHVH (verse 37). Immersion (baptism) occurs on the spot (verse 38).
Acts 10:38, Cornelius: salvation in Yeshua is preached. Whoever believes on him shall receive remission of sins (verse 43). Spirit of Elohim falls on them who heard the word preached (verse 44). Tongues occurs as a manifestation of the Spirit of Elohim (verse 46). Immersion occurs AFTER receipt of Spirit of Elohim (verse 47). This shoots the concept of baptismal regeneration (that you have to be baptized to receive the Spirit of Elohim)! It doesn’t matter which order you follow (there are no formulas to receive salvation): immersion to receive Spirit of Elohim or immersion confirms receipt of Spirit of Elohim. It’s a heart thing. Just do it.
Acts 16:30-33, Philippian jailer: spontaneous response. Believe on Messiah Yeshua and you shall be saved. Immersion (baptism) for the remission of sins occurs immediately.
