  1. Doctrine #1 – Salvation • The meaning of the word salvation • The Hebrew root word yesha(basis for the name of Joshua and Jesus) signifies freedom from what binds or restricts and thus effects deliverance. • The Greek word is soteria, meaning “to cure, to provide recovery, to rescue, to effect one’s welfare.”

  2. The implications of salvation 1. Someone needs salvation • Who? • Ecc 7:20 • Jer 17:9 • Rm 3:10,23; 5:12

  3. The implications of salvation 2. Someone has to be able and willing to save. • Able • Eph 3:20 • 2 Tim 1:12 • Heb 7:12 • Willing • 1 Tim 2:3,4 • 2 Pet 3:9 • Acts 4:12 • Rm 1:16; 5:8

  4. False hopes of salvation: • Education • Church membership • Good works • Baptism • Proper enviroment • Keeping the Law • Confirmation • Keeping the Golden Rule • Sincerity • Tithing

  5. How does a person get this salvation? •  By grace • Eph 2:8,9 • Titus 2:11 • Rm 3:24; 5:1

  6. How does a person get this salvation? •  Through Faith • What it is not • It is not a “blind leap into the dark.” • It is not supposition. • It is not speculation. • It is not opinion or hypothesis.

  7. How does a person get this salvation? •  Through Faith • What it is • It is a voluntary and sincere change in the mind of the sinner, causing him to turn to the Savior. • How is it produced? • Romans 10:17

  8. How does a person get this salvation? •  Through Faith • Why is it necessary? • Hebrews 11:6 • Romans 5:1 • Ephesians 2:8,9

  9. Repentance • What it is not: • Reformation – the act of turning over a new leaf. • Remorse – the act of regretting the fruit of one’s crime, but not the root. • Penitence – the act of attempting to make up for one’s sin through good works.

  10. Repentance • What it is: • It is a voluntary and sincere change in the mind of the sinner, causing him to turn from his sin. • John 16:7-11 • Matthew 9:13 • Acts 2:38

  11. Baptism • What is it? • What does it mean? • Who is it for? • Is it required for salvation • How should it be done? • Who should do it?

  12. Baptism – in essence, it is the act of identifying with someone or something. • Baptizo- to immerse • The importance of baptism: • Jesus was baptized – Matt 3:13-17 • Jesus approved of His disciples baptizing – Jn 4:1,2 • Jesus commanded it – Matt 28:19 • The early church made it a priority. They never conceived of a believer not being baptized.

  13. The N.T uses the ordinance to picture or symbolize important theological truths. Rm 6:1-10; Gal 3:27; 1 Pet 3:21 • Baptism is considered one of the foundational truths. Heb 6:1,2 • “It is no more optional or less significant than the doctrines of repentance, resurrection, and judgment.” Basic Theology pp.421

  14. Various Views: • Baptism is necessary for salvation (baptismal regeneration). • Baptism replaced circumcision • Baptism serves as a sign of one’s salvation (believer’s baptism).

  15. Verses about Baptism: • Salvation by grace, not by works: • Rom 4:1-5; 11:6 • Eph 2:8,9 • Titus 3:5 • Converts in Acts • 2:41; 8:12,36-38; 9:15-18; 10:47,48; 16:15,33; 18:8 (1 Cor 1:14,16); 19:1-7 • All believers were baptized. • Only believers were baptized.

  16. The Gospel does not include baptism – 1 Cor 15:1-4 • Paul said he was not sent to baptize – 1 Cor 1:17 Verses FOR baptismal regeneration: • Acts 2:38 • Acts 22:16

  17. Conclusion: Baptism is an outward sign and identification what God has already done in the life of a believer. It is the first step of obedience for a new christian.
