Romans

Romans 1:16,17  I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Jesus is the only way to salvation. This I know. We are saved by grace not by works that any man should boast. One thing to remember though is after we are saved we are still under that grace. We shouldn't be so hard on ourselves if we miss it. Just repent and move on.

Don't be fooled by religion that preaches "you must come to this church, pay your tithes, do this, and do that. And if you do all these things, then God will accept you." That's anti-Gospel! That puts the burden of salvation on your back. Its on Jesus back by grace.

We should tithe and give offerings and such but we are still saved if we don't. Grace = Gospel.

True Christianity is the only faith on earth that has a Savior. When we stand before God it is not our works its Jesus who saved us. God came to earth as Jesus.

Sozo - the greek word from which "salvation" was translated means more than just forgiveness of sins. It's also healing, deliverance, and prosperity.

James 5:14-15 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save [sozo] the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Our sins keep getting forgiven even after the new birth when we get born again.
