You will also encounter that what about other religions, why are they excluded from salvation? They are not as YHWH is all-inclusive. Everyone ever born and will be born can be saved. It's NOT about religion, traditions or ceremonies. It's not about going to church on Saturday, Sunday or any other day. We should keep every day Holy to God. A Muslim, Bhuddist, Hindu, atheist, even a satanist can be saved by trusting that Jesus died + was buried + resurrected in body and you are saved by grace through faith. However, God doesn't want robots, has no pride and all He wants is for us to choose to love Him in return. If He wanted worship as we think it means, that would be self-righteousness, pride and other qualities that He does not possess. That is why we were given free will, even His Holy angels have free will. He already chose us, but He does not force Himself on us, we must choose Him.
I also believe that once you are truly saved, you have eternal security. The Bible tells us that once we are His, no one can snatch us from His hands, not even ourselves. There's a passage that explains why this is true when teaching this doctrine, stated by Christ Jesus Himself, when people, even Christians, say "what if you turn away and start worshiping another "god" (satan as there are only 2 choices) or stop believing. Jesus says that those who leave were never really His to begin with. I'll get the book/chapter/verse soon. After really living for Him, even though I've been used, abused, persecuted, mocked, ridiculed, hated, treated badly and have gone through many trials and tribulations, I cannot imagine leaving the faith now no matter what happens to me. He brought me out of that and I do find it awesome to be found worthy to be persecuted for His Name's sake. We all are appointed to die and I can think of no better way to die than to die for Him. I'm not willingly going to put my head on the chopping block because we are not called to do that but it may be required of us one day. We are to protect ourselves and the Bible upholds self-protection by weapons.
Anyway, here's the video and I hope and pray you listen to this amazing series because he speaks the truth and in a way you can understand. You do not have to be college educated or even a high school graduate to understand him. The Bible was written for the common man and is to be understood by us not just our Spiritual leaders. They are our teachers, they are not greater. Please read my article I'm going to write about the true Church, who and what it really is and why. Hopefully I'll be able to write it tomorrow or Sunday but tomorrow until around 10 p.m. EST, that's family time and my day to worship in a building with fellow believers. It is the closest church I've been to that was like what the Apostles did after Christ's ascension. Enjoy the series and if you need to go back, there are links to each one on the right-hand side, about the middle of the page. Check out other links I have as well.
GOD BLESS AND PLEASE SHARE! YES, JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN AND HE IS FOR EVERYONE THAT HEARS AND BELIEVES. NO ONE IS EXEMPT. HIS BURDEN IS EASY AND HIS YOKE IS LIGHT. TRUST AND BELIEF...THAT SIMPLE! CHOOSE HIM TODAY!
