Where is the clearest plan of salvation in the Bible?

The clearest and simplest presentation of the plan of salvation is found in I Corinthians 15. This chapter explains that salvation comes by believing that Jesus died and rose again, and it is the only way to be assured of glory, whether through death and resurrection or through the rapture.

Les teaches that I Corinthians 15 contains the plan of salvation in the clearest and simplest language in the New Testament. He contrasts this with the idea that repentance, baptism, and church membership are requirements, noting that Paul does not make those requirements. Instead, the requirement is to believe God, which means being a man or woman of faith, resting on what God has said. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and Paul puts it plainly: if we believe that Jesus died and rose again. Les emphasizes that this is the only way to be assured of glory, whether by death in the resurrection or by the rapture, regardless of whether one is Methodist, Catholic, Baptist, or anything else. He insists this is not his idea or interpretation but what the Book says in plain English.
