If we fall, we'll fall together. But when we rise we will rise together

Hi _melon_, welcome to this stream!

Are you an Evangelical? :)

Hi, UniformVictor! I'm Christian, I don't know about an Evangelical.

OK, tell me please: what is the Gospel and how do I get saved?

The Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died for our salvation not because we deserve it but because He loves us and He wants us to dwell with Him forever. We are all sinners and we have all fallen short of the glory of God, but once we admit that and accept Him and His Holy Spirit into our hearts we are saved.

That's actually a standard Evangelical gospel message. You've quoted Romans 3:23 which is the most commonly used verse for that message.

So, how do I get saved? Is it to just believe in Him, or do I need to repent and believe?

Also, do I need to get baptised in order to be saved (some say that Baptism washes your sins away)? Do I need also to follow the commandments to be saved?

And is it possible for me to lose my salvation? If so, can you tell me how one might lose it?

You need to repent and believe. Repent isn't just saying sorry for your sins, it's the act of turning away from them. So if you are turning away from them and you truly believe that God has saved and redeemed you then it's not just something you lose. If you are tempted or start to drift from the right path, that's on you, not something that you can "lose your salvation" from. God is right there behind you the whole time waiting for you to turn back to Him, but you need to take that step to Him. Baptism is not necessary to be saved. It is a public declaration of your faith and it represents the next step in your walk of faith but it does not actually need to happen for you to be saved(I go to a Lutheran school, and yeah, they believe this) You don't have to follow the commandments to be saved. When Jesus came and died he became the Law because He knew that it was impossible for us to follow it on our own. That being said, you need to listen to Him and follow Him, salvation isn't touch and go. You have to actively pursue Him and do everything you can to follow Him. When you do this, you'll find you are following His commandments

Ah, what you've said is not just Evanglelical but orthodox in terms of salvation; orthodox not meaning the Orthodox church but orthodox which means correct teaching. :)

_melon_ you are definitely an Evangelical.

I've created a meme, it's the very first meme on this stream about it. They're... the Protestants of our century, and Lutheranism is indeed, a Protestant group,

But the Lutheranism you belonged to is quite unique and for me, I am quite glad to meet such a one as you!

Not many Lutherans believe as you do as the same teaches Baptismal Regeneration (that upon being baptised sins are washed away and one is saved), and they do not typically support the doctrine of Eternal Security (Once Saved Always Saved... an erroneous name and today misunderstood).

Are you familair with the 5 Solas?

Oh, I'm not Lutheran, I just go to a Lutheran school. I meant that they believe that baptism is necessary for salvation. No, I am not familiar with the 5 Solas

I'll go check that meme out, though.

Oh I see; may I ask what denomination are you?

I am not in a denomination. I used to be pentecostal(Not UPC) but now I'm nondenominational

I see, I'm a Reformed Baptist.

Great meme, btw!

Thx:)

You're welcome!
