Who is Jesus?

False a person is one of Christ sheep while they are dead in sins and unbelief l

Look at the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15 was the Sheep a lost sheep before it was found and repented? Yes that is why the shepherd went out to find the lost sheep because it was his all the time, even while lost
So you think you are saved even when you are dead in sin and have no relationship with Jesus. Wow:eek:
 
No it's not Christ is required for salvation!
Faith in Christ is necessary


John 3:16

For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

Rom 10:9–10

that if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.

Acts 16:31

And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household!”

1 John 5:13

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.

John 5:24

Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

1 Peter 1:3–5

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you 5 who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time,

Rom 3:22–24

that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

Gal 2:16

but knowing that a person is not justified by the works of the law, if not by faith in Jesus Christ, and we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

John 11:25–26

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die forever. Do you believe this?”
 
So you think you are saved even when you are dead in sin and have no relationship with Jesus. Wow:eek:
I just posted what I believe and you read it didn't you ? Was the Sheep a Sheep B4 it was found according to Lk 15 ? Did the Sheep have a relationship with it's owner B4 the owner went to find it when lost?
 
I like the Bible story about when he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up and read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. Luke 4:16–19
 
Only after Christ saved you, but only Christ was necessary to actually save His People. Faith is not the savior from sin, Christ is read Matt 1:21
Once again you are contradicted by scripture

Faith in Christ is necessary

You must have missed this Tom.

And this very first thing Jesus does. He announce that his coming is literally the beginning of a new order of things called the kingdom of heaven, or the kingdom of God. Jesus was the herald of a whole new way of living that was, from the start, meant to change the world; and he called us to join that change, beginning with our own lives.

In John 13:34 Jesus taught, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” Then He added, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (verse 35). How do we do this? What does it mean to love one another?

I will start being by more loving and kind to all the posters here.

Indeed. Contrary to a certain Calvinistic denial
