“SALVATION” Part#18 Now, what is Salvation? Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968). Dear Friends. Some of us can still remember that we have said earlier that since the days of “Reformation” that every one of the protestant Churches has found it very difficult to reconcile and to forgive the Church of Rome even when Pope John Paul 11 had taken the initiative to reconcile the mother Church with every other denomination. And while we were reading from the latest research done to see how far the “Evangelicals” were doing as regarding to their claims as the “Heirs of the Reformation.” We can all agree with the white paper and the report which we have briefly followed, that they as well as every other denomination have gone back as the Church was before the Reformation. We have also inserted this statement credited to Pastor John Piper(John Stephen Piper is a Calvinistic Baptist Christian preacher and author who served as Pastor for Preaching and Vision of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota for 33 years) just to officially back up the claims that the “Evangelical were Heirs of that Reformation.” “Evangelicals should still grateful to God for the Reformation, and very much recognize ourselves as heir of that move of God. Much as I love my Catholic friends, and as much as they have indeed themselves reformed (especially since Vatican II) I am very much a Protestant. To me, the Reformation very much lies at the heart of the Evangelical movement” John Piper (1946-). Please try to understand that all what we are doing here is to try to help each and every one of us to know just like we have said before: that it will be very disastrous for everyone of us if we solely relied on any denominational teachings, or doctrines which were not rooted in the Bible to work out our individual salvation. And here is our point as we have been trying to communicate this Revelation to whosoever that may like to hear. There is no single denomination that has never DEPARTED from the Biblical truths. Every denomination is using the name of the God of Israel as a “substitute” while they have created the gods that suite their theological worldviews. And no one should underestimate these two statements which were at war; for indeed they were really at war with each othre: “Christianity has died hundred times only to come back to life in order to suite the minds of those intellectuals that do oppose it. And I say unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build My Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Mathew 16:18).
