Yes — salvation is achieved by believing the Gospel: that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and it is by this Gospel that we are saved. Les Feldick emphasizes that this belief is not merely mental assent, but a genuine, Holy Spirit-driven conviction that one's eternal destiny rests on what Christ did. Nothing else—works, rituals, or denomination—is required.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 — This passage defines the gospel that saves — Christ's death, burial, and resurrection — which is the basis of salvation.
Paul defines the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4: 'For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.' He calls this message 'the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth' (Romans 1:16). Scripture therefore connects salvation directly to believing this gospel. Romans 10:9 likewise promises, 'That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.' Ephesians 1:13 also describes the gospel as 'the gospel of your salvation,' showing that hearing and believing it is the point where salvation comes.
Les Feldick teaches that salvation is achieved by believing the Gospel—the finished work of the cross: Christ died for sins, was buried, and rose again. He emphasizes that this belief is far more than mental assent; it is a genuine, Holy Spirit-driven conviction that a person's eternal destiny rests on what Christ did for them. When a person truly believes, God moves in and makes that person a child of His, placing him into the body of Christ. Les also shows that believers are identified with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, and he stresses that salvation is not a process, has no strings attached, and does not require works, rituals, or human effort.
Paul defines the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 as the message that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. This is the gospel by which believers are saved, and no other name can be put on it.
Les Feldick says saving faith is not easy believism or mental assent. It is a genuine, Holy Spirit-driven conviction that one's eternal destiny is based on what Christ did for them on the cross. A believer knows that when Christ died, He died for us; when He was buried, we were buried with Him; and when He arose, we arose to newness of life. God then makes that person a child of His and places him into the body of Christ.
Paul writes that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and Les emphasizes that it is not our works, not our denomination, and not anything we can do. There are no strings attached and no prescribed ritual. Believing the gospel is the one remedy for the sinner, and God does the rest.
Les teaches that the believer is spiritually identified with Christ: when Christ died, we died; when He was buried, we were buried; when He rose from the dead, we arose out of deadness in the old Adamic sins to a new life. The Holy Spirit places the believer into Christ's death and resurrection, and as He arose, we arise in newness of life.
The Gospel That Saves
Les teaches that the Gospel is the message by which believers are saved, and that knowing what you believe is essential rather than holding a vague, concocted idea.
Not Works, but the Gospel
Les teaches that the Gospel—not our works, not our denomination, not anything we can do—is the power of God unto salvation, and that believers are identified with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
The Finished Work of the Cross
Les teaches that no human effort can rescue us from being lost in sin; the Gospel is the finished work of the cross—Christ crucified, buried, and risen—with the shed blood implied.
Salvation Is Not a Process
Les teaches that salvation is not a process: there are no rituals or strings attached, and believing at the kitchen sink or while driving is enough because God does the rest.
Genuine Faith, Not Easy Believism
Les rejects easy believism, teaching that a person must understand they are a lost child of Adam and genuinely believe in Christ's death, burial, and resurrection to be placed into the body of Christ.
Baptized Into Christ's Death
Les teaches that the Holy Spirit places believers into Christ's death, burial, and resurrection spiritually, so that as Christ died, we died and as He arose, we arose in newness of life.
Holy Spirit-Driven Belief
Les teaches that real saving faith is not mental assent but a genuine, Holy Spirit-driven belief that one's eternal destiny depends on what Christ did on the cross.
Thou Shalt Be Saved
Les teaches that Scripture promises 'thou shalt be saved' when you believe the Gospel, and that saving faith is far more than historical head knowledge—it is personal identification with Christ's death for us.
Romans 1:16: For 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.
This verse directly states that the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
This is the Apostle Paul's explicit definition of the gospel that saves.
Romans 10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
This verse promises salvation to those who believe that God raised Christ from the dead.
Ephesians 1:13: In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
The gospel is called 'the gospel of your salvation,' showing that believing it is the point of salvation.
Romans 6:4: Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
This verse supports Les's teaching that believers are identified with Christ's death and resurrection.
Yes, but not as a bare mental assent. Les Feldick says it must be a genuine, Holy Spirit-driven belief that your eternal destiny rests on what Christ did on the cross. When you truly believe the gospel, Scripture promises, 'thou shalt be saved.'
No. Les teaches that the gospel—not our works, not our denomination, not anything we can do—is the power of God unto salvation. There is nothing a person can do to get out of being lost in sin; the gospel is the only remedy.
No. Les Feldick states plainly that salvation is not a process. When a person truly believes the gospel, God saves them and begins to open up the Scriptures to them.
No. Les teaches there are no strings attached and no prescribed ritual. You can believe the gospel at the kitchen sink, driving down the road, or in the middle of the night.
