Bashan Ministries... Preparing the way

Dear Friend,
Thank you for your time. I'd like to share a few very important thoughts with you about the most important part of life you that you will ever experience.
I am talking about your eternal destiny. You have one you know, whether you believe it or not.
By now you have seen that I am a preacher, but hasten to add that I dislike what we call religion. All that religion does is cause problems in people's lives. We have seen enough fighting in places around the world trying to prove who is right or who is wrong... argument and debate over issues that never produce answers that work and can change people's lives. We have seen extremists, or suicide bombers killing themselves and taking others out with them in the misguided belief that it will win them a ticket to paradise. It will not! It will take them to hell.
Debate over who is right or who is wrong; signs of the times; earthquakes; wars; global warming; the state of the economy will continue unabated until you and I are either dead and buried or gone in what Christians call the Rapture. It is very real and is imminent of course, so such issues may be pertinent.

Please consider your own life and future. Are you Sure of it... of what will happen when you die... of what will happen whilst you are still walking the planet? Have you ever wondered about the meaning and purpose in your life, of wondered if there is a God in Heaven, or is all this a figment of religious fantasy? Good people deny the existence of God, but He is real. I do not want to offend you of course, but only fools say that there is no God according to Psalm 14:1. People think that there is no such place as Heaven or Hell, but they are very real places. Luke 16:19-31 is one reference to very real places and this was no parable because a real man was mentioned. Parables don't do that. His name was Lazarus.

I could talk about Heaven for hours with absolute confidence because I have been there. The bible talks a lot about it... 716 times in fact, referring to the air, clouds, the sky, stars and the planet on which God dwells. It is absolutely beautiful. As for hell, that is a place to avoid... full stop. It is a place of sheer horror and absolute torment. I do not want you to go there, for it is real (see Matthew 25:41), but join me in Heaven one day. I suggest that you visit my pages relating to Heaven and Hell for the accounts of my visits there.
By your own decisions, you will spend eternity in one of those two places. Eternity is forever and that's a long time.
My task is to show you how to make the choice, if you wish to and I am talking about God's Amazing Love.

What does it mean?

I am talking about salvation, but what does this mean?
Salvation is the central theme of the Gospels and apart from certain doctrinal issues, I’d say that it is the overall message of the whole New Testament. The Old Testament also refers to salvation 119 times and the New Testament has some 169 mentions of it, so it must be important.
It is not a religious phrase, but is very relevant to the issues of life, both in the here and now in this present time and in the time to come.
The various meanings include salvation, deliverance, health, help, welfare, safety, victory, savior, defend, avenge, rescue, and preservation.
Salvation refers to-

Deliverance from danger (Exodus 14:13-14)
Victory over enemies (1 Samuel 14:1-23)
Healing of the body (Acts 3:6; 4:12)
Forgiveness of sin (Luke 19:9; Romans 10:9-10; Psalm 38:18-22; Psalm 51:1-13; Psalm 79:9)
Freedom from prison (Philippians 1:19)
Deliverance from captivity (Psalm 14:1-7)
Deliverance from wrath (John 3:36, 1 Thessalonians 5:9)
and more...

The following articles will help you reach a logical conclusion and allow you to determine for yourself that what I say is a true and accurate account of what God says on the matter.

The word Salvation raises the question of eternal life. Your welfare is important to God and it is vitally important to use our intelligence to look into it and thus see to it personally that we are right with God. This is determined solely by what the word of God says about it... not by what a certain preacher, church, denomination or religion has said on the subject. Foolish people trust their eternal soul to some man or to the teaching of some religion. They do not do this when it comes to money for example. I wouldn't trust anyone with my finances unless I first checked things out. If some preacher or religion told me how to run my business or invest my money somewhere I would be a fool to blindly follow this advice without proper investigation.
When it comes to eternal issues, check it out even more thoroughly. Never blindly accept what some preacher or teacher (including me) tells you, but test it and find out if what is being said is in fact truth. Does it really lineup with what the bible teaches us or is it a whim of someone's personal opinion or fantasy?
Now these [Jews] were better disposed and more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they were entirely ready and accepted and welcomed the message [concerning the attainment through Christ of eternal salvation in the kingdom of God] with inclination of mind and eagerness, searching and examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. Acts 17:11.
