With Fear and Trembling: A Study in Biblical Salvation
What is Biblical salvation? There are many beliefs within Christianity of varying degrees of detail concerning the answer to the salvation question. Regardless of tradition or long-held beliefs, we have a definite answer and it is found in the Word of God. The Bible is, after all, a story of the reconciliation of a fallen creature, mankind, to his creator. That is the essence of salvation, becoming reconciled with God. Understanding this is paramount for our spiritual journey because we then perceive that it is not just about Heaven or Hell (although we are certainly concerned with where we spend eternity), but a relationship with the Almighty.The Bible tells us in Philippians 2:12 (KJV), "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling," again giving measured importance to salvation for a believer. There are certainly a wealth of scriptures that we can draw from to determine what exactly salvation is and what it isn't. 'With Fear and Trembling' highlights New Testament salvation in its basic form. It is in no way a comprehensive study detailing absolutely every aspect of biblical salvation. However, it is written as a guide and study help for your personal spiritual journey. It is a simple and concise study book intended to help you answer the question of salvation based on the Bible.We are to work out our own salvation with a respect and understanding that it is something sacred. Therefore, this is a tool written to help you define true, biblical salvation.

So many great truths in this book, it stretched and deepened my thinking about salvation and I'm thankful to the author for that.
However, the author states that every believer must speak in tongues or they haven't received the Holy Spirit, or at least not fully. Can we receive only part of God's Spirit, does He only give part of Himself to us? I don't think so. Speaking in tongues as a must for every believer is not biblical, see 1 Corinthians 12. That chapter clearly states that believers have different spiritual gifts, that we don't all have the same gifts.
