All of our sins—past, present, and future

Question Title

9. Did Jesus pay for the past, present and future sins that you have and will commit?

Jesus paid for my past sins, but my future sins depend on my repentance and obedience

Jesus forgives sins as I confess them — unconfessed sins remain unforgiven

Yes — Jesus paid for every single one of my sins: past, present, and future. Confessing sins is good, but they are already sll forgiven and paid for in full

Jesus didn’t actually pay for sins — He mainly came to inspire moral change

Question Title

13. What exactly is faith in Christ?

Living according to God’s commandments and teachings, staying faithful to him throughout your life

Feeling strongly about God or Christianity and sincerely loving God

Resting in and relying on Christ alone — fully trusting in His words, and that his death on the Cross has paid the price for all our sins. He is the sole reason we will be welcomed into Heaven

Believing the facts about God and Jesus are true. If you believe that Jesus really is the Messiah, you'll be saved

Question Title

They are not important at all

Good deeds are the result of having true faith, but they do not earn us salvation

Question Title

15. Does baptism play any role in salvation?

Baptism saves even without faith, which is why baptising infants is good

Baptism is just an optional thing and it should not be encouraged

It is necessary for salvation - it washes away our sins. No baptism, no salvation

It is a symbolic act of becoming a new creation, and a commandment of Jesus, but it does not save a person

Question Title

16. Can we know for certain that we are saved?

Only if we never sin again

Yes, through trusting completely in God's promises of forgiveness of sins and eternal life in Jesus

Question Title

17. Can we ever lose our salvation?

It is not taught clearly in the Bible

We cannot be certain because we can lose our state of grace at any point in time

No one can have assurance

50/50. We do our best, but it's really in God's hands in the end

100% sure if our faith is in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation. Trusting His finished work on the cross and His promises will ensure our entry into heaven

Question Title

19. Is hell a real, eternal place of torment, or something more figurative?

Hell is real, but it's temporary — it purifies people until they are ready for heaven

Hell is real, but it's where the wicked are destroyed and simply cease to exist

Hell is symbolic or metaphorical — it represents regret or separation, not actual punishment

Hell is real, and those who reject God face eternal separation and eternal punishment with no escape

Hell is mainly a moral teaching device to encourage us to behave better

Question Title

20. If God were to ask you, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would you say to Him?

I've done my best to be a good person - sin less, obey the commandments, and serving the Lord faithfully. I'm not perfect but God loves me so that's why I'll go to heaven

Because I love God, I've prayed, read my Bible, and done good things for Him. He is merciful

Jesus is the King of my heart, I've been going to church regularly and got baptised. My baptism washed away my sins

Because Jesus Christ died for all of my sins and has promised me eternal life. I cannot ever earn or contribute to my own salvation - what He did for me on the cross is my reason alone
