Some people would accuse us of teaching that one simply needs to believe that Jesus Christ
exists in order to be saved.
But the Apostle Paul actually said this,
But I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful,
putting me into the ministry, who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious,
but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
According to the Apostle Paul, before he was saved, he was in a state of unbelief.
Yet if you were to talk to the Apostle Paul before he got saved and you would ask him,
hey, do you believe in God?
Of course, he would say that he believes in God in the sense that he believes God exists.
But what he was not doing was he was not putting his trust in Jesus Christ to save him.
He was putting his trust in himself.
And so this is just another great passage in the Bible that proves that salvation is
by faith alone in Jesus Christ.
