Question
I'm an Ordained Minister of: The Universal Life Church; Universal Ministries; The Church of Seven Planes & The Church of Spiritual Humanism. I'm a Rabbi (teacher) of the: Libertarian Church & a former Jehovah's Witness Minister. But I'm still unhappy..I need Salvation & Redemption. What is the Church of Christ's version of Salvation & Redemption?

Answer
Thankyou for your question D.N. Ayer

 The Church of Christ teaching and doctrine on Salvation & Redemption comes from the Word of God.  I thank God that you know that you need both, for we all do.  For one to be truly saved they must obey God's word and do what it commands them to do.  To gain faith in God's word, we first need to hear it (Romans 10:17) and believe on the word, that is truly is the word of God.  Obedient faith is the kind of faith that God rewards (see Hebrews Chapter 11). Like those men on the day of Pentecost (Act 2) when they heard and believed what the apostles taught about Christ, they new it was something they must do.  They were told to repent and be baptized for the remission of their sins (Acts 2:38) and that is also what we must do to have our salvation.  Salvation and redemption is free for all men, but only those who do what God tells them to do will attain both.  Friend I hope you continue to study God's word and obey it, just do what God tell you to do and you can be sure of your salvation and redemption.

God Bless
