We are saved by faith when we trust that Jesus died for our sins. This is the gospel, or so we are taught. But what is faith? And does this accurately summarize the gospel? Because faith is frequently misunderstood and the climax of the gospel misidentified, the gospel's full power remains untapped. While offering a fresh proposal for what faith means within a biblical theology of salvation, Matthew Bates presses the church toward a new precision: we are saved solely by allegiance to Jesus the king. Instead of faith alone, Christians must speak about salvation by allegiance alone. The book includes discussion questions for students, pastors, and church groups and a foreword by Scot McKnight.

1. Faith, 2. Repentance, 3. Water Baptism, 4. Spirit Infilling, 5. Continuance.Contrary to the tradition and "gutted" gospel of Christio-religious easy-believers, the doctrine of salvation introduced with the birth of the church in Jerusalem, Israel in the year 33 AD has never changed. The Bible's book of Acts records the early history of God's one and only church whose doctrines and teaching remain the basis for New Testament salvation as we "... are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;" Eph. 2:20. Though the world and human society seem to be ever awash in a turbulent sea of change and upheaval, God's word has not, does not, and will not change. This fact, providing an anchor of comfort and stability to many, also provides a very inconvenient obstacle to others who, as we have been forewarned, would attempt to "pervert the gospel of Christ." Gal 1:7.In "5 Steps to Salvation" analysis is applied to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles, specifically with regard to the New Testament doctrine of salvation. Whether this book serves simply as a refresher course for the reader, or introduces new biblical perspectives, may the truth of God's word be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.
