"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John:3:16John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
2 Peter:3:9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
1 John:5:13
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Romans:10:9On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans:10:13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."
Luke:19:10
"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."
Matthew:18:11
Sinner, if you've never been lost, then you've never been saved.
But I said a prayer. The Bible doesn't say whosoever shall say a prayer. The Pharisees prayed.
But if I go to church. The Bible doesn't say that going go church will save you. The Bible says that salvation is "not of works, lest any man should boast."
But I can go back to a time and place where I said that prayer, where I made that decision to follow Christ. Sinner, please listen; it does not matter if you have a time and a place. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. If you were not in a place to where you realized that you were lost, then you are not saved.
Here is why:
"No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day."
John:6:44For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
Jesus said that you cannot be saved unless you are drawn. The Holy Spirit will convict you of sin, righteousness, and judgment. And only THEN, after being convicted, and realizing your lost condition, can you be saved.
