If you are a believer, how is our Savior different from any other?

Do you know of any other person that died and rose again to life under His own power? Jesus alone. Quite unique. Jesus is God incarnate. Unfortunately there are those false religions that rose up after the fact to deny His uniqueness and deny His deity. One fellow said God can't have a son. How can you say God "can't" have whatever He wants??!! But Christ is God Himself, (God, the "Son"). The eternal God came down to our level, and added to His nature a human one. This can only happen because God is 3 in one, and the Son is not to be confused with the Father, and neither are to be confused with the Holy Spirit, yet the three share the one eternal substance; GOD.

I think it has more to do with your beliefs, I was brought up without and today I know Jesus Christ as my savior, we learn the truth and become saved. We live in a christian manner and devote our lives to God.

To each follower, his God is always better. It is better to imbibe Godly qualities to the extent possible, than disputing about the better one.. One may spend / waste a lifetime trying to choose a better God !

If you are saved no one can seperate you from your salvation but you can renounce your salvation (not easily). Once a believer has tasted of the fruit of the Spirit and willfuly rejects their salvation. There is no going back.\n\nJohn 10:27-30\nMy sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one." (NIV).\n\nHeb 6:4-6\nIt is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. (NIV)

Salvation for the Old Testament believers was the same as it is today for the New Testament believers.\nBy grace through faith in the coming Messiah (OT), and by grace through faith in the Messiah who came, and will return (NT).

Seems that every person walking has a slightly different view of the Scriptures than anyone else. You're no different. Neither am I.\n\nUnlike you, I do believe that every word of the Bible is true. God's word would be way too important for Him to let it get distorted.\n\nLike you, however, I wonder A LOT about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and what it really meant for humanity. \n\nSince the Bible says, "If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that God has raised Him (Jesus)from the dead, thou shalt be saved." AND it also says, "Every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.", it sure sounds to me like everyone will be saved because of Jesus Christ's work on the cross.\n\nI just don't know and I continue to think about it. I know it is totally against everything I've been taught as a Christian, but Martin Luther thought on his own too, thank God.\n\nAnyway, that's where I am today in my faith walk, and I pray that you and I both can get peace with this issue.

This is a difficult question, and I'm not sure I can answer it all satisfactorily, but I think I can help.  \n\nWith the first part, 'no other gods,' Christians don't believe that Jesus is another god, but rather the same one.  Two different facets of the same God (with the Holy Spirit being the third).  What's more, you know that in Genesis, God speaks in the plural 'let's go do this.'  Also, the Hebrew word for God - elohim - is also plural.\n\nSecond, it is true that Jesus never called himself 'God the Son.'  The way he speaks of himself as 'the son of God,' however, is unique.  He says, "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him" (Luke 10:22).  Also, he is called by the Greek word for "one and only son", "mono-genes", means literally, "one in kind, unique."  This seems to contradict the view that we are all sons and daughters of God on the same level as Jesus.  Finally, in John 15:15, Jesus says "I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father."  God is the only person to whom we (humanity in general) could ever reasonably be called slaves.  How could we have been 'slaves' to Christ is he weren't also God?\n\nOne more word on the Trinity: God sent "his spirit" down onto "his son."  Additionally, in Matthew 28:18-20 it's said, "Then Jesus approached and said to them, 'All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.'"\n\nIn the early Church, the Jews celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday, and then Christ's resurrection on Sunday.  The gentiles who entered the Church, however, didn't celebrate the Sabbath, but only the resurrection.  Eventually, the Church accumulated more gentiles, and observation of the Sabbath was fell out, leaving only the celebration of Christ's resurrection.\n\nIn a sense, Paul is claiming to speak for Jesus, but this is warrented.  He is relaying Christ's message, or the spirit of it, to us.  First, recall that although Jesus appeared a second time for Thomas, on that occasion he said "But blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."  Now if they have not seen, how can they believe?  How can they even know about the resurrection?  Obviously, someone has to tell them, someone has to speak for Christ.  Someone like Paul, or any of the apostles.  What is more, that is the mission Jesus gave them.  He sent them out as missionaries to go to the Jews and then to the gentiles.  They were, in essence, his ambassadors to the world.  They spoke for him because he wanted them to; that was their task.  Now, to reconcile the two paths to heaven that you mentioned.  If you truly believe that Jesus is lord and that he rose from death and that he died as sacrifice for our sins as Paul says, then how could we not "love God, love our neighbor, help the poor?"  If we say we believe and yet don't try to do these things, then despite what we may say, we don't truly believe.  The two go hand in hand.

Christians believe in many different things. Me and my mom are Christians but she is Mormon and I am Pentecostal. We don't see the same things but we both are Christians. For me it is how I want to Praise Jesus. For her she is mostly told how to praise Jesus. But we have the common factor which is Jesus.

Those who never really knew God \nSo far we've seen that salvation is offered to some people even before Jesus' return. We've also seen that after Jesus returns He will offer salvation to mankind in general.\nBut what about all those who died and were never called to salvation? This group represents the majority of all people who have ever lived. What is their eternal fate?\nJohn said those not resurrected at the time of Jesus' return ("the rest of the dead") will live again at the end of the Millennium: "But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished" (Revelation 20:5).\nA few verses later comes a further description of the scene of this resurrection: "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades [the grave] delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works" (Revelation 20:11-13).\nJesus spoke of a future time of judgment when all will understand His teachings. He described a time during which people from all generations will live and be judged at the same time: "Then He began to upbraid the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: 'Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you'" (Matthew 11:20-24).\nIn similar examples, Jesus refers to the long-dead people of Nineveh, to the queen of the south of Solomon's time and even to ancient Sodom and Gomorrah, the epitome of wickedness (Matthew 10:14-15; 12:41-42). He doesn't tolerate perversion and sinfulness, but He has not finished working in their lives. The people from those generations lived and died without having the opportunity to learn of God and His plan to offer the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.\nJesus described a time during which people from all past ages will live at the same time. Together they will come to understand the truth about who Christ was and the purpose of life. Those from different generations will find it remarkable that the people of Jesus' time rejected Him

There are gifts of the spirit descirbed in the Bible. Some preach, some teach, some prophesy, some have musical talents, some speak in tongues, etc., etc.  It does not mean you aren't saved.

Yes, I believe in the Lord. He is also my Lord and Savior. I am glad to see that there are still some people that aren't afraid to admit that in the end they will be going to Heaven. I'll see you there.

Tell me\n\nI certainly do not know.\n\nNot to say that there are not some.\n\nI think the difference is that theirs is a works based salvation and they feel they have to do it to be saved just like Muslims frequently go to lengths Christians don’t.\n\nTheir salvation depends on it.\n\nFor us we are saved by grace and follow his commands out of love for the one who died for us.\n\nDoesn’t seem like we love Him very much does it?

IF\n\nJesus = Savior\n\nChrist = Anoited\n\nAND\n\nJesus Christ = Savior Anoited\n\nChrist Jesus = Anoited Savior\n\nTHEN\n\nJesus Christ OR Christ Jesus = SAME DIFFERENCE\n\n\n..................... ;)

Amen to that brother!\nI beleive their is one god- not Jesus or mohammad or whoever, they are like the managers.  I hope others have the same idea.  And imagine if the world actually accepted each other as a different brabch of the same tree.  \nThank you for your input- and don't be afraid to share your thoughts with others.  It's all about understanding.

There is One God, and Jesus is His Son, and Jesus is God.  Jesus proved that He was who He claimed He was when He raised from the dead.  Christ is alive, and Mohammed is dead.  The choice is an easy one, and you are the one who has been deceived.

It's very simple.  If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are going to heaven.  Those who don't in their lifetimes will be condemned to hell.  Once you are saved, there is no earthly or spiritual power that can remove your salvation.
