Can you prove this.
We are not saved by the teaching of Christ.?
Christ is equal to the Father?
I say amen to Acts 16:3-31. But it doesn’t end there. For others are just believing. Others believe that by just believing in Him we are saved. When you believe in Christ you will come to the knowledge of salvation. That is the first part. It doesn’t end there
Believing is obeying. And what are we going to obey is the scriptures, the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Because if you reject His teaching you are rejecting Him also. What do you believe then?
John 12:48
He that rejecteth me, and recieveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
And this is what God wants us to obey. His commandment Romans 7:12
So we can be saved.
I Corinthians 15:1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also
ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

This sounds like a question fron a Jehovah Witness Reanne.
Can I prove that we are saved by the work of Christ and not His teaching?
By that question it is clear that you have already rejected the Scriptures that I posted for you to read.
The gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and Romans 10:9 says that is what we believe unto salvation.
To say that we are saved by the teaching of Jesus is to reject Him as the Savior of all men by the gospel of Christ.
In fact, just a little thought on this and you can see that if we believe we are saved by the teaching of Christ that is then WORKS for salvation. We must do something to get something. We must obey, or learn or do but the Scriptures say that we are saved by GRACE through faith AND NOT OF OURSELVES LEST WE SHOULD BOAST!
Salvation is wholely by God and nothing that we can do.

Is Christ equal to the Father?
Col. 2:9
"For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;"
1 John 1:1-4
"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—
2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us—
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship
is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things we write to you that yourjoy may be full."
John 1:1-3
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made."
Philippians 2:5-6
"
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, ".
John 10:37-39
37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;
38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father
is in Me, and I in Him.”
My dear, we are in fact saved by JUST believing upon Him. Nothing else is required to be saved!!!
