Salvation

Jesus (Isa) is respected by many Sikhs as a holy teacher, but the Bible presents Him as far more: the Son of God, the risen Lord, and the centre of God’s salvation.

This SOS Bible study explores speaking in tongues as presented in Scripture, asking whether tongues are a language, a sign, or a requirement. By examining Acts, Corinthians, and the teaching of Jesus and Paul, this article gently tests the claim that tongues are necessary evidence of salvation or a second baptism of the Holy Spirit. Readers are invited to Say, Obey, and Share what the Bible actually teaches—without pressure, formulas, or fear.

Some churches teach that baptism must be performed exclusively “in Jesus’ name” for salvation. This article carefully examines every major baptism passage in Scripture, including Acts and Matthew 28, allowing the Bible to define what baptism means, what it symbolizes, and how it fits within salvation by grace through faith.

Christadelphians are a Bible focused Christian movement that seeks to model faith and practice after the early church. They emphasise careful Scripture reading, adult baptism by immersion, and weekly remembrance of Jesus’ death. However, Christadelphian teaching departs from historic Christianity on several core issues, including the nature of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the meaning of salvation. This article offers a calm, Bible based explanation of who Christadelphians are, what they believe, where their teachings diverge from the gospel, and how Christians can engage thoughtfully and graciously using Self Discovery Bible Study (SOS) principles.

This article gently brings the Buddhist journey to its natural crossroads. After exploring suffering, impermanence, reincarnation, and enlightenment, it asks a deeper question: what if hope is not escape, but rescue? It contrasts the Buddhist vision of release — the candle going out — with the Christian promise of eternal life: a restored world, meaningful identity, and a personal God who comes to dwell with us. Rather than arguing, the article invites reflection on love, forgiveness, and whether a final answer to suffering must come from outside ourselves. It closes by opening the door to the good news of Jesus — not as religion, but as an invitation to life, repentance, forgiveness, and a restored relationship with the Creator.

This article reflects on compassion as one of Buddhism’s most admired virtues and asks a gentle but important question: if love feels real and morally binding, where does it come from? Without dismissing Buddhist insight, the article explores whether compassion can be fully grounded without a personal source. It then contrasts this with the biblical vision of love as something received before it is practiced. The article invites readers to consider whether compassion points beyond human effort to a deeper giver of love.
