I have listened to people on the radio say that a person MUST receive Jesus as Lord in order to be saved.
Again,i have heard people on the radio say that a person must MAKE Jesus Lord of their life in order to be saved.
Also,people on the radio say that in order for a person to be saved they have to ACCEPT that Jesus is Lord ,for either Jesus is Lord of all; OR He is not Lord AT all.
Are ANY of these statements true,can anyone show where these statements are in the Scripture.
IF these statements are in the Scriptures then why are not people proclaiming this from the rooftops.
IF these statements cannot be shown in the Scriptures,why will not the believers REBUKE,and correct those which would are teaching that which is not Biblical.
SBD,Yep agreed there is not a verse which states that is is necessary to ACCEPT or to MAKE Yeshua LORD of ones life in order to be saved,as this would be constituting a WORKS type of salvation.
Messiah is LORD over ALL of His creation,whether the creation wants to admit,or receive accept this.
People add to the Word of YHWH,as though they believe the Word of YHWH might be missing something.
What is necessary are Grace and faith, GOD Almighty Graces a person to be giving them Faith to trust Messiah to save them from the wrath of GOD Almighty.Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
As you have stated,many false, unbiblical teachings have been proclaimed while the Gospel has been reduced to 'Accepting Jesus' instead of Receiving / Taking in Yeshua.
A.W. Tozer during his time had said 'In many churches Christianity has been watered down until the solution is so weak that if it were poison it would not hurt anyone, and if it were medicine it would not cure anyone!
From his book: I Talk Back to the Devil: Essays in Spiritual Perfection (1990)
A.W. Tozer: This World: Playground or Battleground? pp. 5-6 [specific citation needed]
The idea that this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of Christians. They are facing Christ and the world. ...The �worship� growing out of such a view of life is as far off center as the view itself�a sort of sanctified nightclub without the champagne and the dressed-up drunks."
It is so sad to see that 'christianity' which is a world religion,has infiltrated the body of Messiah,and has reduced the believers to a shell of what they should actually be.
Rev_1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev_5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
HUmmm....George didnt answer my questions so I must except that doesnt believe Yahshua to be GOD...Oh well...its his choice...
Exd 20:3 �You shall have no other gods before Me"

If you read my reply to SBD,there is your answer,not directly to you.
IF you need a direct answer,YES Messiah Yeshua is LORD of not only my life,but He is LORD over ALL of His creation whether no one,or each person believes Messiah.
Even if Yeshua had not created anything He would still be LORD,Messiah and the Son of GOD,for this is who He.
No one is able to MAKE Yeshua anything that He already is.
