Vaios Liapidis - The Road to Salvation
What I put in paper here, whoever follows them - he will be saved. Because everything that I'm about to write is inside the New Testament and the Lord Himself is saying them. With this guide that follows you won't be able to fall under any false doctrine because our teacher is only Jesus Christ from Nazareth and everything He teached. Whoever follows these steps he won't be able to stray from the truth, or lose his way and he will be one with Jesus Christ.?
The five things, the five fiery pillars of salvation are:
1 Confession
We confess our sins only to our Lord as He is the only true priest forever and also to our fellow man that we sinned to. It doesn't matter if he will forgive us or not. This is the right thing to do. To be in peace with our brother? first. If he does not forgive us then this is in the hand of our God.?
See what the Lord is saying:?
Matthew 6:14
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
And when it comes to the way we pray during our confession, the Lord himself said that He wants us to be minimal and true and pray in secret without festivity or excessive praying. And when we say prayer, because some will say that it states prayer and not confession: ‘yes’, but when we pray what we ask for? We ask to be forgiven and be blessed:
Matthew 6
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
And if you do not believe this, then see this and judge for yourself.??
Luke 15
18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’
Here we can see that he confesses his sins to heaven and his Father on earth. Take this example and do the same. And here is the promise of God that if we are true and honest regarding our sins then God will forgive them.
1 John 1:1-9
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Or as we see here. To confess your sins to one another:
Jacob 5:16??
Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
Jesus Christ is the only one that can forgive sins and the only one who can say us.??
Acts 4:12
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
2) Baptism
Our baptism must be done with water. Clean water. Either in the sea, or in the river or even in our bathtub in case that we cant move. Even if we drop on our heads water, as God will look at the heart and the intention. Because God knows all. And I say this for people that can't move or have some disability. So, we need clear water. We say Father in Heavens, we do confession of our sins to the Lord and after that we say:??
Lord Jesus Christ, today I would like to hear me out because I believe that you are the messiah, the Son of the Living God and my Lord and I recognize everything that you did for me. Please accept me Lord in your kingdom because today I will be baptized in your Name. Forgive all my sins since I was born till today and fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I can understand Your Word and Your Will.
After that, we drop water, clean water and we say:??
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.?
This is how baptism was done by the disciples of Christ. Not using oil or hair etc. And it is very important to testify our belief in Jesus Christ and be able to understand it. That means that we are not baptizing small kids or anyone else without testify or by force. Small children are sinless, that’s why the Lord said ‘Become like children’.?
MATTHEW 18?
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.?
From the mouth of small kids come the best hymns.?
MARK 10
14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
?As you can see here, the Lord Himself, blessed the children as they are sinless and Jesus would never bless something that has sinned. Even the Jewish law believes that a kid understands after six years old.?
Also see how the used to do baptism at the time of Jesus right after his resurrection:
ACTS 8
36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?” 37 Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” 38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.?
Because the Spirit is on earth as we read in 1 John:
1 John 5
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
The fact that we only call the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth with a broken heart? means that we can be baptised ourselves. We have our witnesses the water and the Spirit that are on earth. Because in our era we already know the word of Jesus as we can find it everywhere if we wish to as the first thing the Lord is asking is faith, baptism and then is understanding and becoming a follower of Christ.
3)?Holy Eucharist (Communion)?
The Holy Eucharist is the new testament that Jesus established for everyone so that we can honour Him and for forgiveness of sins. As himself states, whoever does not eat His body and drinks from His blood cannot have a part in life.??
JOHN 6
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
What the Lord did, no man can do again, neither there is some middleman between Christ and humans for example priests or similar. It is us and Christ. After we are baptized, because only one that has been baptized can do Holy Communion, and after we checked our selves before Holy Communion, so that we try to be far from sin as much as possible so that, then at night before our meal we do the following:?
We say the Father in Heavens and we say: ‘Lord Jesus, this is Your Body that has been sacrificed in our place. We thank so much Lord Jesus Christ’. After that we cut the bread and we share it with our family members and we say: ‘This is the Body of our Lord. Take it and eat it.’ After that, while keeping the Body of the Lord separated from His Blood in the cup, we lift the cup that has wine and we say: ‘Lord Jesus Christ, this is Your Blood that was poured out for forgiveness of sins. We do this for your remembrance and for forgiveness of sins. Please forgive me Lord, me and my family members and give us your Holy Spirit and we thank You for everything that you did for us’. And after that you say: ‘Drink all from this cup. This is the Blood of the Lord’??
This is why we do Holy Communion each day. Every day. Before we go to sleep so that we are always ready before the Lord comes or it is our time to go from this world of vanity, so that we keep our new clothes that we received after our baptism with the Blood of Jesus Christ.?
4)?Works
The Lord will judge the world according to faith and works. Works however define someone's faith. Do good works for poor people and for everyone that is in need of something. Because faith without works is a dead faith.?

JACOB 2
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Whoever asks, give him. Whoever needs help, help him. Because on this the whole law is based upon. As you want others to treat you, treat them. Do not reveal your good works to anyone, because the Lord what you do in secret will reveal them at Judgment Day.
MATTHEW 25
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
As you can see here, the Lord is speaking about good works.?
If you give from what you don't have then you are worthy because you give from what you don't have. Don’t do like the hypocrites that they give from what they have and let everyone know about their good works. They have already been judged according to their actions.?
5)?Scripture and Prayer
Read the Holy Bible and God via His Holy Spirit will lighten you to the truth so that you understand. That’s why the Lord gave us the Spirit, the Paraclete, so that he can teach us and guide us to the right way if we of course believe and accept Him in our lives. Hand-by-hand with reading Scripture comes? prayer. Jesus himself revealed to us the perfect prayer. He knows. This is the prayer that Jesus Christ gave us. Father in Heavens:??
MATTHEW 6
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Epilogue
Whoever does these, will have eternal life as these are the only things that the Lord requires of us in order to save us. Whatever comes outside these is a false doctrine. Listen careful to what I say: The prerequisite of forgiveness is only one. Forgive your fellow man for everything he did to you and God will forgive your sins.?
All sins will be forgiven from God. Except one. Only this one is a deadly sin. The Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Stay away from adultery, porn , stealing, lying, idololatry, homosexuality, don’t get angry, don’t get despared, dont be cowards because God loves and will be with us very soon. Have faith in our Father in Heavens and in Jesus Christ. Don’t be fooled by lies, with temples made of stone and dead people.?
Do not seek war, enmity and hatred. Love each other.
Do not worship idols, icons, statues and everything else. God is spirit and we should worship Him spiritually.
JOHN 4
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Your body is the temple of God as God does not live in temples made of stone:?
ACTS 7
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
That’s why He did gave His Spirit to humans and not in temples made of stones but in temples made of flesh which is us:??
1 CORINTHIANS 3
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Do not follow anyone except the Gospel which is our guide and Jesus Christ who is our teacher:
GALATIANS 1
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Everything that stands your way, either in written or verbal form, outside from those that I mentioned before, is not going to be inside the New Testament. With the things I mentioned before comes salvation.
God is simple and asks simple things from us:?
1 JOHN 5
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Repent and do these five things. And God will live inside you. If you see or hear something from someone that is outside the ones I mentioned before, don’t follow him as he does not come from God but from the gathering of satan.??
As Paul says:?
1 TIMOTHY 4?
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Jesus Christ died to free us and paid for us with His Blood to remove us from this world and the people who claim they are the holy priesthood of God.?
GALATIANS 5
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
The Pharisees killed Jesus. And they are the ones that disguised themselves into fake Christians so that you can worship them and take hold of your fortunes while they fill their bellies with foods and have golden garments and wealth.??
Remember the words of our Lord:
LUKE 20
45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, 46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
And as we are closing this document we say to you this: Stay faithful to the Holy Bible. That means the Old and the New Testament. And only to this. Stay faithful. Do not believe in any other teaching. And as John says.
These are enough for you to know the truth:
JOHN 20
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
The undogmatic free Christians
