NO!
1.Saved by Faith, not Works 2.The Bible is the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth 3.God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, the Doctrine of the "Trinity" 4.Jesus was both fully God and fully man 5.Literal Return of Christ You become a Christian by. http://www.cerm.info/salvation.htm 1. Realize there is no one that is good [Ro 3:10] As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; The bible states that no one on earth is righteous or perfect. We all have faults, we all are in sin, and all need to repent. 2. See yourself as a sinner [Ro 3:23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, No one is good enough to go to Heaven on their own merit or will. No matter how much good we do, we all fall short of Gods glory. 3. Notice God's price on sin [Ro 6:23] For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. There is punishment for wrong. The penalty for all our sins is eternal death and separation from God in a place that the bible calls Hell. 4. Believe that Christ died for you and that He arose again from the dead [Ro 5:8] But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God's great love for us was shown when he sent his Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to pay our sin debt 5. Take God at his Word [Ro 10:13] for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." [Ro 10:9] That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. [11] As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." John Quote:
