By Whom & What
Are We Saved?
…is salvation by “faith only?”
1
A Popular Idea…

“Baptism is not in the saving gospel which
is recorded in John 5:24 and 1 Corinthians
15:1-5. Notice that these scriptures and
like the other scriptures that tell us of how
people are saved that there is no mention
of any baptism. If baptism is important
then why is it not mentioned in the
scriptures I mentioned?” - Gary

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.”
3
1 Corinthians 15:1-5

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel
which I preached unto you, which also ye have
received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye
are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached
unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I
delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that
he rose again the third day according to the
scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of
the twelve”

In These Two Verses There Is No
Mention of:




Repentance
Confession
The Grace, Mercy and Love of God
The Blood of Christ
Therefore, “…not in the saving gospel
which is recorded in John 5:24 and
1 Corinthians 15:1-5” according to Gary’s
“logic.”

What about this?…

“Confession is not in the saving gospel
which is recorded in John 5:24 and 1
Corinthians 15:1-5. Notice that these
scriptures and like the other scriptures that
tell us of how people are saved that there
is no mention of any confession. If
confession is important then why is it not
mentioned in the scriptures I mentioned?”
6
What about this?…

“Repentance is not in the saving gospel
which is recorded in John 5:24 and 1
Corinthians 15:1-5. Notice that these
scriptures and like the other scriptures that
tell us of how people are saved that there
is no mention of any repentance. If
repentance is important then why is it not
mentioned in the scriptures I mentioned?”

What about this?…

“The grace, mercy and love of God is not in
the saving gospel which is recorded in John 5:24
and 1 Corinthians 15:1-5. Notice that these
scriptures and like the other scriptures that tell
us of how people are saved that there is no
mention of any grace, mercy and love of God.
If the grace, mercy and love of God is
important then why is it not mentioned in the
scriptures I mentioned?”


“The blood of Christ is not in the saving
gospel which is recorded in John 5:24 and
1 Corinthians 15:1-5. Notice that these

is no mention of the blood of Christ. If
the blood of Christ is important then why
is it not mentioned in the scriptures I

But, Acts 18:8 says…

“And Crispus, the chief ruler of the
synagogue, believed on the Lord with all
his house; and many of the Corinthians
hearing believed, and were baptized.”
11
1 Corinthians 15:1-5

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel
which I preached unto you, which also ye have
received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye
are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached
unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I

Denominational Creeds
 Hiscox’s
Baptist Manual
 “…salvation of sinners is
wholly of grace; through
the meditorial offices of
the Son of God…” (p. 138).
13
Denominational Creeds
 Hiscox’s
Baptist Manual
“…Justification…is bestowed,
not in consideration of any
works of righteousness which
we have done, but solely
through faith in the Redeemer’s
blood” (p. 140).
14
Denominational Creeds
 Methodist
Discipline: Article IX. - Of
the Justification of Man
“We are accounted righteous before God
only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ, by faith, and not for our
own works or deservings. Wherefore,
that we are justified by faith only is a
most wholesome doctrine, and very full
of comfort.”

By Whom and What Are We Saved?

God - Romans 8:33
17
Romans 8:33

“Who shall bring a charge against God's elect?
It is God who justifies.”
 “Justifies”
= to render (i.e. show or regard as) just or
innocent: - free, justify(-ier), be righteous.

Strong’s Greek Dictionary
 Synonyms
for “justify” = remove guilt, free, liberate,
redeem, set or put right, forgive, excuse, pardon

God - Romans 8:33
 Christ - Matthew 1:21; Rom. 5:10

19
Matthew 1:21

“And she shall bring forth a son, and
thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he
shall save his people from their sins.”
referred to Jesus as “our Lord and
Saviour” (2 Peter 1:11; 2:20, 3:2, 3:18).
 Peter
20
Romans 5:10

“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to
God by the death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”

“Reconcile” = “properly denotes ‘to change, exchange’
(especially of money); hence, of persons, ‘to change from
enmity to friendship, to reconcile.’ With regard to the
relationship between God and man, the use of this and
connected words shows that primarily ‘reconciliation’ is what
God accomplishes, exercising His grace towards sinful man
on the ground of the death of Christ…”

Clinton D. Hamilton on Baptism

“Sometimes, the proponents of salvation by faith only
say that if one insists on baptism for remission of
sins, he is arguing that there is power in water
baptism and not the blood of Christ. However, God’s
word attributes salvation to faith (Eph. 2:8),
repentance (Acts 11:18), and baptism (1 Pet. 3:21).
Salvation is also attributed to the blood of Christ
(Matt. 26:28;…), and to his death (Rom. 5:10), and to
his life (Rom. 5:10). Now, the only logical conclusion
to the biblical evidence is as follows: all these are
complementary and consistent statements; they
involve no contradictions. Each of them in proper
perspective has something to do with one’s
deliverance from sin and the final judgment.”

By Whom and What Are We Saved?
“…and not by faith only”
“Ye see then how that by works a man
is justified, and not by faith only…For
as the body without the spirit is dead,
so faith without works is dead also.”
(James 2:24, 26).

Conclusion
The doctrine of salvation by “faith only”
is a most unwholesome doctrine, and
very full of error; this we now know…

Tells Us So!”
