Someone asked me if I could address the relationship between salvation and baptism in Scripture, because they have a friend who believes that you cannot be saved unless you are baptized.

My friend Bruce Ware is an accomplished theologian and a professor of Christian Theology at Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Here he answers some vital questions about whether Christ, and faith in Him, really is the only way to be saved. 

In 2019, Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Pastor Jim Putman at Real Life Ministries in Post Falls, Idaho. In this clip, he talks about rewards in Heaven and how our works won't save us, but they do matter.

Jesus foi o Cordeiro, o sacrifício, a Páscoa, o Sacerdote, o Profeta, o Rei, o cumprimento da lei, o Pão da Vida, a Palavra. Sem o tempo para desenvolver esses conceitos ao longo da História e por meio das Escrituras, nunca teríamos entendido a profundeza da divindade de Deus. 

I've read Randy’s book Managing God's Money, and it's awesome. I have a question: if a sinner does good deeds for years, like giving to the poor, then gets saved but dies a month later, will God reward him only for the good deeds done that one month he was a Christian? Or God will reward that person for all the good deeds in his lifetime, even before he became a Christian?

历史上最大的难题是：我们如何才能与一位恨恶邪恶的神和好。能在天堂见到神之前，我们必须经历完全的改变。而这就需要史上最伟大的解决方法。

O problema de como seria possível nos reconciliar com um Deus que odeia o mal, é o maior problema da história. Antes de podermos ver a Deus no céu, algo necessita mudar radicalmente. Isso exige nada menos do que a melhor solução já concebida. 

Muitas pessoas perderam entes queridos que não conheciam a Cristo. Algumas pessoas argumentam que as pessoas no céu não saberão que o inferno existe. Mas isso tornaria a alegria do Céu dependente da ignorância, o que não é ensinado em lugar algum nas Escrituras.
