Can u tell me are Jehovas Witness to do with Christianity? I once heard that these people believe that 2nd coming of Christ was back in 1914.. Is that true? Because it sounds all secretly. |

these are them guys who go around knocking your doors yea, they have a different view of things. im sure they believe that hell is at the grave and or it is just the pain and or suffering in the world. i dont think they got anything to do with christianity as these guys dont read the bible or go to church yea man.

They actually have their own church. and they do believe in Jesus Christ and that he died on the cross, but they don't believe that he rose from the grave!

According to the JW'S book WHAT DOES THE BIBLE REALLY TEACH? p.73, GOD ressurrected Jesus from the dead. Therefore purpoting that JWs dont believe Jesus rose from the dead is wrong. I find fault with some of the JW's teachings, but that does not make me a better christian than JW followers. So let JWs do their Job and do yours as well

Am no JW so I refer U to the already said book. In it the JW believe that baptism is the beginning of salvation, though it does not guarantee salvation in itself (p.183). Salvation is to be continuously worked out with fear and trembling. Steps leading to baptism begin with taking in knowledge and showing faith

Assurance of salvation is in repentance, conversion and dedication of oneself to God. Read p.183 of JW's book and entire chapter 18 it gives more details of what I have said here

I was answering a question about JW's view of assurance of salvation, thats why I had to quote their own book. Infact there are many Bible references in the same book. JWs like any other christians do use the Bible too

The fact that salvation is a free gift of God does not mean we do nothing to be saved. Perhaps if you can read Eph.5:1-33, it highlights on what I believe a saved life should endeavor to live upto. In Eph.6:17 we are urged to take up helmet of salvation, that signifies effort. In short salvation does not Just come, you have to get it

Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings; learn to do good; seek Justice, correct oppression ...if you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land... [Isa.1:16-20]. Does this tell us to do nothing to be saved? Infact the Bible in Phil.2:12,13 explicitly tells us to work out our own salvation
