All is so But no one can come to Christ until they are drawn by The Father in Heaven . When you feel HIS Voice Tugging on your Heart, Ask Forgiveness. You will be Washed by The Blood of The Son of God, Baptized with The Holy Spirit and Changed ( 2Corinthians 5:17 ) You will know, Impossible Not to.
I'm convinced that the One who started a good work in you will complete it. The very first thing the Holy Spirit does when you hear the gospel is to convict you of sin, judgement and righteousness. It is a natural byproduct of true salvation to turn aka repent from your previous life and all you trusted in. We dont burden unbelievers with discipleship. If we lead someone to God and they are justified through their faith, we must also disciple them and help them on their road of sanctification. No unbeliever can fathom the idea of letting go of their sins, they first have to receive the Holy Spirit and He will work in them.
@willierichardiii2054 Were you asking why repentance is not mentioned in this presentation of the Romans Road--is that what you meant? I double-checked to see if I had missed it but the word "repentance" is not used.
Romans is written to people who already believe in Jesus, saved people, and, is for living the Christian life. There is no prayer to become a believer, if you're praying to God the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ, you ARE a believer, if you believe God's Word you ARE a believer. Paul did not intend for Romans to be an evangelistic tool, or he would of addressed it to unbelievers in Rome. God has provided the book of John to evangelize those who do not yet know the Lord and is VERY clear on what one must do to be saved. No prayer or formula or repenting from any sin except the sin of unbelief. ........then......... believing...... Head down the Roman road to an abundant Christian walk and to a real relationship whith the One who vought you. May this vless whoever reads, called of God to be a partaker with the children in the Light.
There is only one road to salvation. It is to hear the word, believe the word, confess your a sinner, be baptized for the remissions of your sins. This was commanded by Christ. Without following these steps one does not have any hope of salvation. There isn't a sinners prayer or just by faith. Christ never said this.
You missed REPENT (choose to follow Christ vs our sin). That's critical. As for baptism, it is like communion. Very good to do to demonstrate ones faith, and it is desired by Christ for us to do it, but our SALVATION IS NOT conditional on it.... Otherwise how would you explain Christ's words regarding the thief on the cross? Or, why bother sharing the gospel with someone in a hospital on their deathbed? More directly important; what about verses like Ephesians 2:8-9? Or Titus 3:5 or even John 3:16? It is impossible for God to lie. God tells us that all scripture is God inspired. So we can't pick or chose what to believe, just because we think it or because someone told us to believe it. We have to look at all scripture, to fully see what God means. Is there's some specific scripture you can point me towards, that your baptism "requirement" belief is based on? God bless.
@@JoinUsInVR I didn't miss repent. I didn't put it in there because it is implied. If you notice I didn't hear, believe, in there either. One doesn't get baptized without the rest. Baptism is absolutely essential. This Jesus whom you say you follow commanded it. He didn't desire it. He commanded it, and He stated what it is for. The thief on the cross was saved because Christ had that authority to do that. Secondly, the thief died before Christ had installed the Church age approximately 40 days later, when baptism became a command to all. Titus 3:5 does mention baptism (by the washing of regeneration) John 3:16 is the verse that is taken out of context by so many. Take into consideration John 3:5 Christ tells Nicodemus that he must be born of the water (baptized) and the spirit to enter the kingdom Of Heaven. What about Col. 2:12 or Romans 6:4 In Col.2: it says the work is being done by God (when one is baptized), which means that man isn't doing anything for his salvation. What about Mark 16:16? We share the Gospel to one that is dying because while they have breath, they still have the opportunity to be saved, and yes that includes baptism. The deathbed confession is one that is so overused. Question you must ask is, were they of the understanding of the difference between right and wrong. If they did then they squandered away the opportunity to be saved. However, I can say this God is the final judge, not me. Picking and choosing what you want to do from the commands of the Bible is exactly what you are doing. You are doing exactly what a man told you to do for salvation. I gave you the scriptures that pointed to the need for baptism for salvation. Mark 16:16 is very blatant about it. Christ commanded it. Peter preached on the day of Pentecost and in 1st Peter 3. Baptism justify's a person, as stated in 1st Peter 3, and in Colossians God sanctify's us.
God is capable of saving anyone without requiring your perfect formula. A person can be on their deathbed, unable to speak, and still have the ability to change their heart, believe, trust in Jesus, and receive salvation.
@@kevinburtnick7818 The command to be baptized is not my command. It is Christs. Mark 16:16. Matthew 28, etc. If you have a problem with Christ's command, take it up with Him. Why is it those who don't believe in baptism for salvation go to the extremes? The man had plenty of years to accept Christ. Since he has decided to squander it away, does that change that what Christ commanded? Once man has heard the Gospel, then they are required to fulfill that which has been commanded. Most reach that age by 13, and some earlier. If you believe in Christ as your savior but refuse to do that which He has commanded how well do you believe in Him? Is it ok to do those things that Jesus preached against because you don't like them?
We Catholics consider the “Romans Road” a tiny incomplete gospel based on a misunderstanding of the Bible. The correct understanding of the Bible and the original, complete, and full gospel is the “Roman Catholic Freeway.”
The Roman Catholic church and the pope did NOT die on the cross for our sins, and raise again on the third day to prove we can trust what they say. Only Jesus Christ did that! Jesus saves. Not a religious belief based on works and their own artificially man made teachings. And not based on writings that were added to the Bible long after, in clear denial of Revelation 22:18. Salvation is not given by a religion that ignores the scriptures like Acts 8:37 which makes it clear that only a person with an active BELIEF in Christ can be water baptised. Infants can't comprehend Christ , and therefore can not have an active BELIEF. It concerns me because the Catholic church gives a false faith in that infant baptism to millions of people who's fruit do not match what scripture tells us a believer in Christ will yields. Christ himself says he will vomit those types of people out of his mouth (Revelation 3:16) and declare "I never knew you" (Matthew 7:23) Jesus wasn't CATHOLIC, and the ROMANS were the people who nailed him to the cross. Scripture tells us in Acts 11:24 that the apostles were expectedly "Christians", not "Catholics". In fact the last 2 Catholic priests I've heard from said "Christians" are NOT Catholics, and explicitly NOT welcome to take communion at their church even if those Christians perfectly match Christ's John chapter 3 identified criteria for being a follower of his who should take communion. Christ would not agree, or approve, if that. Christians believe in the Christ of the Bible and are born again as Christ himself explains in John chapter 3. Have you read that full chapter for yourself ? Are you "born again" as Christ explains it? I'd love to talk with you about this. Check my TH-cam profile and get in touch with me. One of our souls depends on it, and Christ commands us to preach HIS gospel. So if you honestly feel I've been mislead, PLEASE show me the light, as I am trying to do for you in this text your comment inspired me to write. I hope to hear from you. God bless. 💜✝️💜
@@JoinUsInVR read, study, comprehend the Bible from Genesis to Revelation completely and fully, especially its biblical theology. Don’t just rely on the verses you were brainwashed and trained to memorize and throw at Catholics in every opportunity. We Catholics have an axiom precisely about one’s scope of reading, study and understanding of the Bible and where this leads to: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.” Among the many converts or reverts to Catholic Christianity, I especially invite you to take and read Scott Hahn in his “Rome Sweet Home.” Many Evangelicals after reading, studying, understanding the Bible fully (not just isolated verses you throw at Catholics!) have found their way home to the original, true and full Christian church founded by Jesus himself some 2000 years ago, the Catholic Church. Do not be afraid. Read the Bible as I invited you to or read it side by side with Scott Hahn. Do these and get back to me.
@@lanbaode You are so right about reading and comprehending the entire Bible, God's Holy Word for us. It wasn't until I left behind the Catholic Church of my father that I learned deep Bible study, but it was in a Protestant Church. Explaining what Protestants call the "Roman Road" to salvation to non-believers is not meant to supplant the entire Bible, but to explain to them why we need His redemption and how simple God made it to accept Christ's great gift to us. It is just the start of making disciples, as Jesus commanded us in Matthew 28. I know that the Catholic Church now places much more emphasis on Bible study than it did in those distant years and that deepends my love and respect for my Catholic brothers and sisters.
Freeway sounds like a pretty broad road. Matthew 7:13 NKJV [13] "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
This is false information. Why do I say this? Romans was a letter written by Paul, (as all epistles are letters written by different apostles), to those in Rome who were already saved, already born again as commanded by Yehoshua HaMaShiach in John 3:3-7 as can plainly be seen if read from the first word of the first “chapter,” of Romans. Originally the Bible had no chapters and verses. Those were added much later after the books and letters and epistles had been written. Not to seperate what was written before from what came after but to make it easier to find specific passages. Everything written from the letter to the Romans unto the last period in the book of Revelation was written to those already born again. Why am I emphasizing this? Because since it was not addressed to those who weren’t as of yet born again, if the sinner read it they could and would misunderstand what was written there. Now that that’s covered, which part could the unsaved read and get what they need out of it? Well the records of the Gospels (Matthew through John) and the book of Acts. No they wouldn’t understand all of it but they would understand how to become saved, to become born again of the water and the Spirit. Now how does someone become born again and what exactly does it mean to be born again? And why do you have to be born again? I’ll give an example of a frog. A frog could be sorry all day that it’s a frog. But after apologising to GOD for his frog ways and confessing all of his frog ways, at the end of it he’d still be a frog. In the same way sinners can’t help but be a sinner because they were born that way. So GOD in His Infinite Wisdom provided a way to become not a sinner, to be BORN AGAIN. What am I saying? A sinner isn’t just a sinner because they commit sins. They are a sinner because they truly were born that way. Every person born into this world was born with a nature to sin, they can’t help it. It’s written in their very DNA code to sin. They really and truly CAN NOT be anything else but a sinner. So the only way to not be a sinner is to be BORN AGAIN. That is why Yehoshua HaMaShiach told Nicodemus in John 3:5-7 that he MUST be born again in order to enter His, ( Yehoshua’s) heavenly kingdom. Here is what it says exactly: “Yehoshua answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto Him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Yehoshua answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:3-7 Yehoshua also said this: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved…” Mark 16:16 “…But ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.” Acts 1:5 The person that believes and is baptized shall be saved. Not just believes but also is baptized. This will make a person born again of the water and of the Spirit. This is why Peter said this in Acts 2:38: “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38 Yehoshua HaMaShiach didn’t make any mistakes,He knew exactly who He chose as His disciples/apostles and whether they’d stick with Him or not or teach and preach exactly what He meant. Now how will you know that you have received The Holy Ghost, aka, have been born again of the Spirit? The same way the Jews knew that Cornelius and his house had received The Holy Ghost: “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues…” Acts 10:44-46 And in case you still aren’t sure, this is what Paul did and said concerning helping people become born again who only believed but had not been born again as of yet: “And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on Him which should come after him, that is, on Yehoshua HaMaShiach. When they heard this, they were baptized in the Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues…” Acts 19:1-6 This is how you become saved, born again. You will now no longer be a sinner from birth but a saved born again Christian. Beyt HaShem Ha Yehoshua HAMaSHIACH, (in the Name of Jesus Christ in original Hebrew), I pray that I said this in a way that all who read it will understand this and prayerfully also become truly born again and a true citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven Beyt HaShem Yehoshua HaMaShiach I pray Amen. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38 Some people say they have repented of their sins, but to truly repent you have to stop doing it. Like the example I gave you. That frog will always be a frog no matter how much he tries to turn away from it because he really and truly was born that way. That frog can never stop being a frog, a sinner can never stop being a sinner unless they are born again with no sin in their genetics. So you can apologize profusely to Yehoshua and try to stop doing sin with your body but unless you can replace your DNA with a sinless one you’ll always be a sinner. There’s good news though, there’s only One Being Who can change your genetics and you’d still be you and you’d now be sinLESS and that is The True And Living GOD Yehoshua HaMaShiach. So what do you do to become born again. First you repent. Now what? The scripture I quoted above says you need to be baptized in The Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach (Jesus Christ’s original Hebrew Name). Once you have been baptized this was you being born again of the water as Yehoshua commanded in John 3:5. And to show the accuracy of this statement here is what Yehoshua HaMaShiach also said in Mark 16:16, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved…” Some people will tell you that baptism doesn’t save you. Well besides Yehoshua HIMSELF saying we need to be born AGAIN of the water and saying that we needed to be baptized, and also He being our Perfect Example got baptized Himself (Matthew 3:13-16), ( obviously not speaking of water from our natural birth from our mothers because He said we need to be born AGAIN as in a second time), the Bible says plainly that baptism does save us: “The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us …” 1 Peter 3:21 Now what? Yehoshua also said in that same scripture that you must also be born again of the Spirit. That happens once you receive The Gift of The Holy Ghost as was told in Acts 2:38. Now how will you know that you have been born again of the Spirit(aka received The Holy Ghost)? The same way the Jews who came with Peter to the house of Cornelius did when Cornelius and his house received The Holy Ghost: “While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues...” Acts 10:44-46 This is how you’ll know that you have been born again of the Spirit and are now officially a member of the Kingdom of Heaven. You will now no longer be a sinner from birth but a saved born again Christian. Beyt HaShem Ha Yehoshua HAMaSHIACH, (in the Name of Jesus Christ in original Hebrew), I pray that I said this in a way that all who read it will understand this and prayerfully also become truly born again and a true citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven Beyt HaShem Yehoshua HaMaShiach I pray Amen.

Yehoshua HaMaShiach didn’t make any mistakes,He knew exactly who He chose as His disciples/apostles and whether they’d stick with Him or not or teach and preach exactly what He meant.
Now how will you know that you have received The Holy Ghost, aka, have been born again of the Spirit? The same way the Jews knew that Cornelius and his house had received The Holy Ghost:
“While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For they heard them speak with tongues…”
Acts 10:44-46
And in case you still aren’t sure, this is what Paul did and said concerning helping people become born again who only believed but had not been born again as of yet:
“And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto them,
Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?
And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on Him which should come after him, that is, on Yehoshua HaMaShiach.
When they heard this, they were baptized in the Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues…”
Acts 19:1-6
This is how you become saved, born again. You will now no longer be a sinner from birth but a saved born again Christian.
Beyt HaShem Ha Yehoshua HAMaSHIACH, (in the Name of Jesus Christ in original Hebrew), I pray that I said this in a way that all who read it will understand this and prayerfully also become truly born again and a true citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven Beyt HaShem Yehoshua HaMaShiach I pray Amen.
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Acts 2:38
Some people say they have repented of their sins, but to truly repent you have to stop doing it. Like the example I gave you. That frog will always be a frog no matter how much he tries to turn away from it because he really and truly was born that way. That frog can never stop being a frog, a sinner can never stop being a sinner unless they are born again with no sin in their genetics. So you can apologize profusely to Yehoshua and try to stop doing sin with your body but unless you can replace your DNA with a sinless one you’ll always be a sinner.
There’s good news though, there’s only One Being Who can change your genetics and you’d still be you and you’d now be sinLESS and that is The True And Living GOD Yehoshua HaMaShiach.
So what do you do to become born again. First you repent. Now what? The scripture I quoted above says you need to be baptized in The Name of Yehoshua HaMaShiach (Jesus Christ’s original Hebrew Name). Once you have been baptized this was you being born again of the water as Yehoshua commanded in John 3:5.
And to show the accuracy of this statement here is what Yehoshua HaMaShiach also said in Mark 16:16,
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved…”
Some people will tell you that baptism doesn’t save you. Well besides Yehoshua HIMSELF saying we need to be born AGAIN of the water and saying that we needed to be baptized, and also He being our Perfect Example got baptized Himself (Matthew 3:13-16), ( obviously not speaking of water from our natural birth from our mothers because He said we need to be born AGAIN as in a second time), the Bible says plainly that baptism does save us:
“The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us …”
1 Peter 3:21
Now what? Yehoshua also said in that same scripture that you must also be born again of the Spirit. That happens once you receive The Gift of The Holy Ghost as was told in Acts 2:38.
Now how will you know that you have been born again of the Spirit(aka received The Holy Ghost)? The same way the Jews who came with Peter to the house of Cornelius did when Cornelius and his house received The Holy Ghost:
“While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For they heard them speak with tongues...”
Acts 10:44-46
This is how you’ll know that you have been born again of the Spirit and are now officially a member of the Kingdom of Heaven.
You will now no longer be a sinner from birth but a saved born again Christian.
Beyt HaShem Ha Yehoshua HAMaSHIACH, (in the Name of Jesus Christ in original Hebrew), I pray that I said this in a way that all who read it will understand this and prayerfully also become truly born again and a true citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven Beyt HaShem Yehoshua HaMaShiach I pray Amen.
