BELIEVE AND BE BAPTIZED!

MARK 16: 16

"Anyone who BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED, will be Saved! Anyone who refuses
to believe will be condemned!"

You alone are responsible for your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Your mother, father, sister or brother are not responsible for you. No one and no entity on earth is responsible for what you think, say, or do. Your choices will define you as a person. You control your thoughts one at a time and therefore you also control your actions one at a time. The mind can only hold one thought at a time and you alone control that thought! Your are responsible for what you believe! You have the choice to accept or reject, believe or disregard the Word of God. You alone make the choice to respond to the invitation of the Lord Jesus Christ to Save you and give you eternal life. Read the One Truth Today in the light of the above. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. Anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned!

You can see that the Lord is perfectly Just. The Lord will not condemn anyone at the time of the judgement. Each person will Save or Condemn themselves. If you believe and accept the Lord you will be saved. If you reject and refuse to believe the Lord you will condemn yourself!
If you believe the Lord and are Baptized in the Spirit and in the water you will be saved. You can answer the question right now; have you believed in Jesus Christ the Lord God and been baptized? Have you rejected and failed to believe in the Lord and His Word? You have then condemned yourself to separation from God eternally. No one else can make the choice for you and you alone are responsible for your choice! BELIEVE AND BE BAPTIZED!

The choice seems so obvious, do you choose eternal life or eternal condemnation and death?
If you make no choice and no decision, your inaction is the same as rejection. It is not an affirmative choice to not accept the free gift of Salvation. In effect you have chosen to refuse to accept the gift and that is a rejection in and of itself. So who is responsible for your fate? You alone must accept that responsibility. So when people say, "why would a good God condemn anyone to Hell", what is your answer? God gave you a free will and you are responsible for your thoughts, beliefs, and actions, not God. Your choice and your responsibility, not God's!
