Three Category of Salvation

1. The Instant Salvation

A person who truly believes and accepted Christ as his Lord and Saviour , that when if he is going to die he will go to heaven. Just like what happened to the one criminal who was hang on the cross with Jesus. “And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise”. (Luk 23:42-43)

Are you a believer in Christ? If you are a believer then if you die tonight you will immediately and instantly go to heaven.

2. The Questionable Salvation

It’s very clear of what is the real message of the “Parable of the Sower” in Matthew Chapter 13. There is only one appalling truth we must understand, that not all person who go to church are in the “good ground”. Majority of them are in the “stony ground” and in the “thorny ground”. No need to explain further, those who are not in the “good ground” their salvation is questionable.


3. The Complete Salvation

This is somewhat related to two things:

a. Reward

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1Co 3:12-15

Note: Those who receive a reward have a “complete salvation” and those who did not receive a reward have a “incomplete salvation” (simply because they have not receive a reward)

b. Rapture

No need also to explain further what is the real message of the “Parable of the Ten Virgins” in Mat 25:1-13. Not all Christians will become like of those “five wise virgins”. Many Christians will be left behind when rapture takes place. We must learn from that parable because it is all about the coming of the Lord. In v. 13 it said, “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (Mat 25:13)
