What you say above means one cannot save
themselves. I think you know the context of Acts 2:40.
If the Republican Guard in Baghdad wants to save themselves, then they must separate themselves from Saddam H. That is the context of Acts 2:40. Uhhh... whatever happened to "salvation
by grace through faith, plus nothing, minus nothing?" You've
also said, "I use the term salvation in a
common sense way. I use the term to mean I have had my sins forgiven and
the Holy Spirit lives within me." You are now contradicting
yourself because you said, "If the Republican
Guard in Baghdad wants to save themselves, then they must separate themselves
from Saddam!" Your suggesting salvation through WORKS for the
Republican Guard in Baghdad, and I must disagree with you on this point, for
Ephesians 2:8-9 says:
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) But that is followed IMMEDIATELY by: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10) Are you suggesting that the rest of us can be saved by
separating ourselves from Saddam as well, or does this LAW apply only to the
Republican Guard in Baghdad?
