Are there more than ONE plan of Salvation ?

Y H V H is the savior, the Lamb of God's blood on our doorposts gives us eternal life, the New Priest/Yeshua benDavid makes intersession on our behalf. But, if you intend on entering the Holy City, Keep the commandments, do the will of God.

Hi to all , and most will not agree to what will be written , but it is taken from the Bible .

#1 , In Eph 2:8 we are saved by Grace , for this is the Dispensati0on of the Grace of God , in Eph 3:1-9 . This should be a given by all ?

#2 , The other plan of salvation is found in Mark 16:15-18 , and He that believeth and is BAPTIZED shal be saved .

#3 , And there will be the Gentiles in the 1000 year reign of Christ and these Gentiles will be saved by being GRAFTED into the Olive Tree in Rom 11 . Today , there is NO grafting being done today , or the New Covenant in operation .

I see 3 ways that God will deal with man and this means that there is more than one gospel that will be preached and for 2000 years , the Gospel of the Grace of God has been preached .

The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven will again be preached before the end of the Tribulation , in Matt 24:13 and 14 .

This , also means that Repentance and water baptism will be preached during the Tribulation , otherwise , why rebuild the Temple during the Tribulation ? dan p
There are several ways to take things out of the Bible. Some are responsible and some are not. The realization that Ephesians, Mark, and Romans are each a different take and treatment of the same story of faith, each told from a different perspective, is necessary in order to exegete responsibly. I don't see that you've accomplished that here.

Hi soj , and the majority of Covenant theology and those who hold to a Acts 2 position will never a agree and a Pauline dispensationalist can or can see where I am going and I look at all verses through 2 tim 2;15 and Phil 1:10 , then all else becomes clear and not until then , dan p

Hi soj , so , what bin post @22 do you not understand ??

Paul used certain words and th gospel writer used a different vocabulary .

Peter was always pushing the Law , repentance , water baptism .

Paul was explaining Dispensationalism , like Grace , reconcilaition , justifcation , Body of Christ ,and the Rapture etc etc , dan p

My point is that they are not individual and particular paradigms for salvation. They are merely different ways of talking about the same process.;)

Doesn't matter. The gospel is the gospel. Differences are merely different perspectives of the same thing.
The "plan of salvation" is no plan at all. It's God's act of love in reconciling humanity to God's self. Different people view that act differently.

What's confusing about God's salvific love? Unless you try to overanalyze an infinite concept with a finite mind...:faint:

confession is made unto salvation.[/B]
Then, we must be BAPTIZED...
The person who is a repentant, confessing believer is a person ready to be baptized. To many in the world,

Hi , and where does it say that Gentiles are to be water baptized ??

John 1:31 , that Baprism was to make Jesus was to be made MANIFESTED to Israel , so where do Gentiles fit in that verse ??

It's a fundamental misunderdstanding brought about by Ulrich Zwingli - that baptism and grace are exclusive of eachother. We are saved by the gracious God at baptism. God was gracious to the people in Numbers 21 when God had them physically look at the bronze serpent in order to be healed from the snake bites. God was gracious to Naaman in 2 Kings 5:15 when after he immersed himself in the Jordan 7 times, he was healed of leprosy. And God is gracious to us when he forgives us of our sins at water baptism as he instructed Acts 2:38.

The divide between grace and baptism arose out of the dualistic philosophy that nothing physical could partake in anything spiritual. Zwingli used this philosophy to call baptism a work, something the Bible never does.

Acts 2:39
&
Acts 10:47-48 "Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water?... So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ..." (Totally not the Mikveh).

I have difficulty with the concept of Salvation.
To have meaning, it would have to be an exclusive event. Some are saved and some not.
This has been the understanding of a majority of Christian Churches since it was first defined.

The more modern concept of "Universal Salvation" is easier to understand, it relies on the fact that God excludes no one from his love, or the opportunity of repentance and forgiveness.

The two concepts are clearly mutually exclusive.

Universal Salvation fits far closer to our belief in the love of God, the Teaching of forgiveness by Jesus and the purpose of the Holy spirit in guiding as all to the knowledge and love of God.
