QUESTION
13 :
Well, we have different
beliefs. I know I'm going to heaven when I die, and
I haven't been baptized because I am not ready to be, but
just because I haven't been does not mean that I am not
going to heaven, it just means that I am not at the spiritual
part that I want to be. I have accepted Christ as
my savior and that to me, is being "born again!?"

QUESTION
15 :
You said works must
be experienced after belief for one to be saved. And in
the first chapter you said that works is being obedient
to the Principles of the Doctrine of Christ. How is it then
Jesus said, “This is the work of God, that ye believe on
him who he hath sent” (John 6:29).

QUESTION
16 :
It has been said
that one has to believe in the actual baptism of Jesus to
be saved. Jesus baptism by John represents or was symbolic
of the Jewish High Priest laying his hands on the sacrificial
goat, which transferred the sins of the nation to the animal.
In other words, the sins of humanity were laid on Christ
by John’s baptism. Is solely believing in the baptism of
Jesus necessary? Even further, does this belief alone saves
you? (From John C. Young book)

QUESTION
19 :
James
makes a demand in his letter, "But someone will say,
'You have faith, and I have works.' Show me your faith without
your works, and I will show you my faith by my works"
(James 2:18). James' question falls under the category of
'epistemology,' - of how we can know that something is so
- versus 'ontology,' - of what is. In James's letter, works
are offered as sign or evidence of faith. As James points
out, what a man does is more compelling than what he says.
But does God, who knows our thoughts afar off, require evidence?
