They are immersed into that baptismal pool and then as they come out of the
pool they're anointed with oil. So that's kind of like that sign of that's kind of
like that moment where they get saved you might say. Well that is it's like
it's like the moment that brings it to completion. Ultimately we don't know who
is going to be in heaven and who is not going to be heaven. What we can do and
what we're told as Muslims is to be good and do good.
What is a Mormon perspective of salvation? What is that step that
somebody needs to take to kind of enter into God's presence from a Solific
standpoint? Baptizing them and it were commanded to be baptized. Baptism is a
sacrament that allows us to enter his faith and then there comes the gift of
the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. Through these rituals of initiation
water baptism anointing being sealed with the Spirit. So to kind of gain
gain at a spot in the world to come you need to live a good life kind of be an
overall good person in the sense of keeping the commandments of God and
following him. It goes according to our actions so if a person wants to sort of
get paid he has to do the work. Not to curse your creator, not to murder, not to
steal, not to eat any limb or part of a limb that came off an animal while it
was still alive. So baptism is kind of at that moment of where salvation comes to
like a completion I take it. Well it's the it's the entry that's the way you
enter in and and then we have to keep going on. What are some of the
determining factors when somebody stands before God? What are some of the
determining factors that God would look at to let them in? Sure well I mentioned
one of them there. Did we feed the hungry? Did we clothe the naked? Did we welcome
the stranger? Did we visit the one in prison? Throughout scripture talks about
our deeds, our deeds matter. In Islam we have some principles for a person worthy
of entering into paradise. Every good deed has a weight, has a reward and we
believe in that.
We actually believe there are scales. We don't know the description of the scales
we see scales in this world but what? Skills can be even electronically, you
know technology. So how would you scale the actions of a believer, men
and women? So every good deed has a weight.
So so by keeping those laws as a Gentile that kind of guarantees their spot in
the world to come. Correct. Once you've entered in by baptism is it done? No it's
not done. You have to press forward and endure to the end. That's one way but
it's not the only way. The other step is anointing and it's like an immersion
into the mystery of the Spirit. Keep on the path you know keep going. Did
they feed the hungry? Did they clothe the naked? Did they give drink to the thirsty?
Did they visit the sick? It's not Jewish only has to follow the seven Noahide
laws and then we have to keep going on. Through these rituals of initiation
every good deed has a weight. Water baptism, anointing. If a person wants to get paid he has to do
the work.
Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life we preach this the other night
no man cometh unto the Father but by me friends can I tell you something there's
only one way to heaven but mankind believes this yes Jesus of course you
must accept Jesus but you have to do this as well they add on to it that's
what a false gospel does is it takes it a pristine gospel it takes a pure gospel
and adds to it with mankind things one of the most dangerous things out there
see a false gospel plus obedience think of this faith plus obedience if you obey
God then he will forgive you and bless you and maybe save you someday if you
will obey if you are walking in obedience maybe you'll be saved someday
the Bible tells us in Ephesians 2 8 & 9 for by grace are you saved through faith
and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God not of works less than he mentioned
both works are no part of salvation and again people hear it over and over and
over they are inoculated and they see the hypocrisy of false religions out
there who worship of Jesus who will not save unless there's works attached that
is not the Jesus Christ of the Bible it's not the Jesus Christ of salvation
it's not the Jesus Christ the Son of God that came and died for our sins that's a
false Christ that's it that's a Christ that will not save amen many people
believe by gaining heaven of good works is the best way to go I can gain heaven
if I do so many good works I can gain heaven if I give enough money I can gain
in heaven if I build a big enough temple I can big gain heaven if I do so much
Jesus says your works are still be rags for you
you
