What are the two dimensions of salvation?        

Salvation is by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9). Aren't sacraments of works, not of faith?        

You say salvation is by grace, but aren't there any conditions to us receiving grace?        

Can we receive the grace of forgiveness and eternal life by saying, "Jesus is my Lord'?        

Aren't we saved the moment we believe and confess Christ (Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 1:13)? Sacraments are only symbolic of the salvation we have already received. They do not have any saving effect.        

Romans 10:9 says that "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Baptism, footwashing, and Holy Communion are not mentioned; why are they necessary for salvation?        

Besides faith, what else does the Bible say we need to receive a complete salvation?        

With all the other ways we can remember the Lord's death today, is the Holy Communion really that important, and even necessary for salvation?

The Lord Jesus is the author of salvation, not the church, so if I don't go to church, as long as I believe in the Lord Jesus and follow the correct path to salvation, won't I be saved?
