Saved by what?

SAVED BY GOD:

“But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,” –Titus 3:4-5

SAVED BY GRACE:

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),” –Ephesians 2:4-5

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,” –Ephesians 2:8

“For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” –John 1:17

“…being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” –Romans 3:24

SAVED BY CHRIST:

“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.” –Hebrews 2:9
“This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.” –1Timothy 1:15

SAVED BY WHAT CHRIST DID:

“For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” –Romans 5:10
“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” –Romans 5:6
“For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,”—1 Corinthians 15:3

SAVED BY THE SPIRIT:

“…but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” –1 Corinthians 6:11

“Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”—John 3:5

SAVED BY FAITH:

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,”—Romans 5:1

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,”—Ephesians 2:8

SAVED BY OBEDIENCE:

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.”—Galatians 5:6

“But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.”—Romans 6:17-18

“Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith…”—Romans 16:25-26

SAVED BY REPENTANCE:

“I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”—Luke 13:3

“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,”—Acts 17:30

SAVED BY BAPTISM:

“He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”—Mark 16:16

“Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”—Acts 2:38

“There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,”—1 Peter 3:21

Which part(s) can be rejected? Can a person reject God and be saved? Can a person reject Christ and be saved? Can a person reject repentance and be saved? Can a person reject baptism and be saved? We must accept all of the New Testament’s teachings to be saved.
