"Accept anyone who is weak in faith, but don’t argue about disputed matters. 4 Who are you to judge another’s household servant? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And he will stand, because the Lord is able to make him stand. 12 So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. 22 Whatever you believe about these things, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God
"Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me""
John 14:6 (CSB)
Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute. This accomplished salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between God and us. He baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit and will return to earth to consummate history.

You must be born again
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!"
2 Corinthians 5:17 (CSB)
God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God's saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God's grace - not human effort - and must be received personally by repentance and faith. At the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment. Only believers will enjoy eternal fellowship with God.
