Is Believing in Jesus Enough to Be Saved?

Believe, believing, demons, Devils, Jas 2:14-19, John 1:12, Luke 8:12, Receiving, Rev 3:20

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Leon Adkins are answering a question about how to deal with the proposition some make that to be saved, “believing is not enough.” They may say it is not enough because “the devils also believe” (as in James 2:19). They may attempt to support this view with other sayings as well, but what are the problems with this view? Please listen for some Biblical clarity about this.

Is “Sola Fide” Inconceivable?

September 23, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - believing, Faith, sola fide

Telling people that salvation is by faith in Jesus apart from works won’t mean much if he or she doesn’t know what believing means. I asked a group dedicated to “Provisionalism”—which aims to defend traditionalist Baptist beliefs against Calvinism—what it means to believe. Not everyone in the group is a Provisionalist.
