Yom Kippur - The day of Atonement - What was atoned?
Through the 40 days between Rosh Chodesh ELUL, the Jewish people rebuilt the relationship they so badly damaged through the sin of the golden calf. Not only did Hashem not destroy them, not only did Hashem forgive them but Hashem took the Jewish people back as his people -completely.
On Yom Kippur Hashem gave us another ring to re-marry us - that ring was the 2nd pair of tablets (luchos with the 10 commandments) - In a sense we could just as easily be celebrating the giving of the Torah on Yom Kippur as we do with Shavuot.
INCLUSIVE SALVATION
ReplyDeleteWho are those who are included in salvation? All men who believe and obey what the apostle Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost are saved. It does not make any difference what denominational name is written on the church building where you worship, if you obey the gospel preached by Peter, then, you are saved, you are a member of the Lord's church, you are part of the church of Christ, you a member of the body of Christ, you are a Christian.
What did Peter preach?
1. Peter preached that Jesus was a miracle worker. (Acts 2:22)
2. Peter preached that Jesus was resurrected from the dead by God the Father.(Acts 2:24-35)
3. Peter preached that Jesus was both Lord and Christ.(Acts 2:36)
When the three thousand believe Peter, they asked "What shall we do?"(Acts 2:37)
4. Peter told them to repent and be baptized in order to have their sins forgiven.(Acts 2:38)
This is the same message Jesus preached. (Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved....)
THE TERMS FOR PARDON ARE: Faith-John 3:16, Repentance-Acts 2:38, Confession-Romans 10:9-10, Baptism (immersion in water) 1 Peter 3:21
All who meet the terms for pardon are saved regardless of the denominational name on the church building.
