Is Baptism a Requirement for Salvation?
Another common misconception concerning Christianity, is that you MUST be baptized in water to go to Heaven or enter into Christ's Kingdom. This is simply....NOT TRUE. I will not patronize you. If you believe in Christ, what ONE THING will save you? Yes, it is accepting HIM as our Father's son and the Savior of humanity. What did Christ do to save us? He shed His perfect, innocent, Holy blood..that we might not die an eternal death. So what exactly IS water baptism? It's plainly an outward symbolic profession of one's desire to follow in the footsteps of Christ. Those that choose to be baptized, should be led from within their heart to do so.....not from a Church that says you must be baptized to be a member or you MUST be baptized to be saved.
Let's look at some verses that describe exactly what I have relayed above.
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Matthew 3:11 "I baptize you with water for repentance, but the One who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to take off His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."
Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved."
It requires enlightenment via the Holy Spirit to understand why Water Baptism is not a requirement of Salvation. Being Baptized is not a golden ticket to Heaven because it is the condition of the heart is what truly matters. Being Baptized with water is only a symbolic and outward declaration that we wish to walk in Christ's footsteps.
"For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body" This is why the water baptism is no longer necessary if you are Sanctified by the Truth of Christ. Don't let money hungry power crazed Shepherds pull the wool over your eyes.
Children pass over without water baptism. Some die at birth or are aborted. The children have special status with the Creator. They are not doomed and neither are adults that are not water baptized. What would happen if you were shipwrecked for the remainder of you life? How could God justify not giving you a chance to learn His Sovereign Will at transition? The only requirement for Christ’s salvation is that of a humble heart. Once you are with Christ, he knows your humble heart will accept him. When you passed through his Light, you were then baptized as a Holy Ghost. The water baptism would be nil in Christ's eyes. It is the HEART that Saves. Nothing else can get you into the Kingdom unless your heart is of Positive energy. Yahweh Himself reveals this at Jeremiah 17:10.
“I, the LORD, examine the mind, I test the heart to give to each according to his way, according to what his actions deserve.”
The baptisms performed here on this planet are just a facsimile of what you would experience if you gained Christ's approval to be in his Kingdom. The REAL baptism MUST come by passing through the Light. If you had to be baptized to be saved, there would be NO NEED to read your heart. The baptism would be the determining factor and NOT your heart condition. If the heart were not the thing of importance, He would not search it. It is not the outward appearance that Saves, but what is hidden deep within the heart.

Is Once Saved Always Saved?
Once Saved Always Saved is a fallacy. If Once Saved Always Saved was true, then there would be no need for us to walk the Narrow path. There would be no need to follow the Scriptures either because we would have already received our Salvation simply by accepting Christ into our hearts just one time. If I was “Saved” last week and murdered a person this week it would be of no consequence because I am exempt having been “Saved” the week before and there would be no need to repent for that vile sin.
The truth is that Christ died on the cross to balance the scales because we were born into Secondary sin. This is different from Willful Sin. Being born into Secondary sin is what makes us all sinners. It’s Secondary sin because Adam and Eve committed original sin and we are all of Adam and Eve’s line. It is always possible for us to willfully sin because we are all given Free Will. That’s why it takes endurance to walk the narrow path. To follow the Commandments and Christ’s teachings to the best of our ability and to repent when we know we have failed. The Narrow Path is just what it says, Narrow. And it’s hard to stay on it. By the Word becoming Jesus Christ and his unselfish willingness to take on Mankind’s sin as a relief from spiritual death from being born into secondary sin was a turning of Yahweh’s wrath from those that put faith in the Sacrifice. It was the undeserved kindness that Yahweh was presenting to all of Mankind. All that was necessary was to accept the truth of the living Word – Christ Jesus into their hearts because it was he that balanced the scales of righteousness and absolved us of secondary sin.
But accepting Christ is only the beginning of the catalyst of his Holy Spirit’s positive energy to help bring people to salvation. Accepting Christ into our hearts is only part of what is required. Because meanwhile Satan has been permitted to test us and he aims to get us to willfully sin in order to determine if we are worthy of Salvation and that is why it takes constant work and effort and endurance on our part to walk that Narrow Path. If Once Saved Always Saved is true, then why allow us to be tested if we cannot fail? This is WHY it says at Matthew 19:24 “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." That is WHY that in addition to an acceptance of Christ into our hearts, it also requires cultivating a good heart condition in order to obtain Salvation. That is also why it says at Proverbs 4:23 Above all else guard your heart, because it is the source of life. It’s both an acceptance of Christ AND a good heart that will enable us to obtain salvation and ETERNAL LIFE. It’s through both of these things that we are deemed righteous in the Father’s eyes.
Now, let’s look at some Scriptures to back this up:
Matthew 24:13 But the one who endures to the end will be delivered.
So what happens to those who believe Once Saved Always Saved if they don't endure to the end? Are they delivered anyway? “Delivered” in Matthew 24:13 is literal. Those who endure will be delivered into Christ’s Kingdom
Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, became companions with the Holy Spirit, tasted God's good word and the powers of the coming age, and who have fallen away, because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Him up to contempt.
This explains how it’s possible to be enlightened, to accept Christ into our hearts, to become companions with the Holy Spirit and have tasted God’s good word and STILL fall away through willful sin.
Hebrews 10:36-39 For you need endurance, so that after you have done God's will, you may receive what was promised. For in yet a very little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and obtain life.
This says it all in the first four words of the verse. We need endurance in order to be saved. The righteous will live by faith but if they “draw back”, in other words, if they fall away through willful sin, or draw away willfully they are deemed lost and will be destroyed. It’s those who endure and have faith will obtain eternal life and Salvation.
1 Corinthians 9:27 Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
Discipline is part of endurance. Endurance takes discipline. Paul was aware that because he had free will, he could fall away at anytime and that he could be disqualified and lose his salvation should he fall away via willful sin.
Philippians 2:12 So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
If Once saved Always Saved, there’s no need for “fear and trembling”. It’s because our salvation CAN be lost that we “work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.”
This, my friends, is why Once Saved Always Saved is a fallacy. Yes, we were Saved from spiritual death of being born into Secondary sin by Christ’s willingness to sacrifice his perfect life for us so that we may live; but in addition to accepting Christ, it takes endurance and the cultivation of a good heart by which we will be judged in order to obtain salvation.

How Things Will Soon Change
Colossians 1:16 because by Him everything was created, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and for Him.
On our ministry website, www.lightoflifeministry.com and via my personal website www.onetruth.weebly.com, I've spoken quite a bit about the Spirit Realm; explaining that it does truly exist as well as detailing its inner workings and even sharing photographs with you that have served as glimpses into this invisible realm. I have done this to illustrate that everything in creation, whether it be in the Physical or Spiritual Realms, is connected and fits together like an enormous jigsaw puzzle, much like the Holy Scriptures themselves.
In the scripture referenced above, it clearly states that our heavenly Father created all things visible and invisible through Michael the Word, Father's only direct creation and His master craftsman. Part of that invisible is the Spirit Realm, and just like Father is real, it is also very real.
So, why is The Kingdom Message of Salvation, our message to mankind, so very urgent? In it we say that the hourglass is almost empty and that time grows short and with each day that passes the message grows even more urgent and with each minute that passes, millions of eternal lives remain at risk. Before I explain why, I’d like to go over some verbiage that is commonly used in the Spirit Realm so that you will better understand.
Passed Over - Passed Over, or Passing Over is the actual transition via death, from physical life to spiritual life. It is the Passing Over from the Physical Realm into the Spiritual Realm. That term is used in connection with the Biblical “Passover” meaning: Passover to the presence of Heaven, but not yet Sanctified.
Crossed Over - Crossed Over in itself is referring to those that make transition over the Cross. You have to go through the Light, which is symbolic of going over the cross of Christ for Salvation and sanctification of his Sacrifice for Mankind.
Edge of Light House Worship - A location in the Spirit Realm, where those who have Passed Over are brought for counseling on the Truth of Father’s Way before Crossing Over.
Holy Ghost - A person who has Passed Over, Crossed Over and become a part of Father’s Holy Family, in service to Him in the capacity of a Holy Ghost in one of the 144,000 Holy Ghost Orders.
Convert -A person who has Passed Over, attended the Edge of Light House Worship and who have, via their own free will, rejected the counsel they were given there. They have in effect, “converted” to Satan’s way of thinking and have not Crossed Over.
Right now, and in the past, everyone who Passes Over is given the opportunity to learn the Truth of Father’s Way. Those who committed vile crimes while they were alive, receive their just punishment and find themselves in the dark realms (Abyss), but everyone else, regardless of who they were, where they lived or what they believed, even if they never heard the name Jesus Christ, are given the opportunity to find out what the truth really is once they’ve Passed Over.
However, things will soon change.
Because we have been living in the End Times, and are currently experiencing the Great Tribulation as Armageddon looms around the corner, there will be a day when the opportunity to find out the Truth will end. Just as in Noah’s day and age, when the time came for the Ark door to close before the onslaught of the rain, so will the Ark door close on those living in this day and age before the onslaught of the Holy Invasion begins. In the same way that the deluge of water wiped out all the evil in the world, so will the Holy Angels when they arrive for the invasion of Armageddon.
When that time occurs, there will have already been a Rapture of Father’s faithful from the earth. This will include all children, who were covered by Christ under his atonement and are special in Father’s eyes over that of an adult who is capable of reasoning out the Truth. Until a child reaches the age of accountability, they are covered by the Ransom Sacrifice as though unblemished. The age of accountability is when a child can reason things out in his or her own mind to adequately satisfy Father that they are mentally competent to do so. For everyone else, they will be held accountable and this is where the conditions of their own hearts comes into play.
In the Kingdom Message of Salvation, we explain that the two things required to obtain salvation is an acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior as well as a good heart condition. A good heart is a humble heart. A heart that will accept Christ as Lord and Savior as well as the Truth of Father’s Way.
The reason that our message is so urgent, is because when Armageddon begins, there will no longer be the opportunity to be counseled on the Truth of Father’s Way after Passing Over. The symbolic Ark door will be closed and it will be a time of great chaos and terror and deception. Those who find themselves left behind after the first Rapture MUST cling to their faith in Father with every ounce of strength in them in order to have the hope of being taken in the second Rapture of Father’s faithful from this planet, just prior to the end of Armageddon.
There is not time to say, “Well one day I’ll know for sure what the truth is…” because we are sharing the truth with you here and now. Sadly, only a handful will be accepting of this truth. Most will find out for themselves when Armageddon begins. And even then, many will still not believe.
We have been ministering the Kingdom Message of Salvation to the masses for almost three years now - nearly the same amount of time in which Christ ministered during his time on earth.For now, the door to salvation is still open. But it will not remain that way for much longer. Our prayer is for all those we have reached, whether they’ve been accepting of our message or not; that one day they will remember what we’ve said, accept it for the truth that it is, welcome Christ into their hearts, turn to Father in prayer and believe.
