However, salvation from sin is available to all if they will repent and cry out to Jesus to save them. There is no merit for any work involved, salvation is strictly by grace through faith and not by any works. Repenting from our sins is the conscious act of turning away from a life of sin and yielding total control to Jesus Christ, being willing to do all that He may command us through His Word. We believe that through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by 'obedience' to the 'laws' and ordinances of the Gospel. I cannot go there without his consent. .
Salvation comes by faith and faith alone.
A faith not generated within ourselves. Baptism is to occur after salvation to provide an outward expression of what has already taken place inside the heart. If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema. It was through the Redemption that the Savior exercised his mediatorial reconciliation, and that his 'mother shares' in the process. I and the Father are one.
