While this book had some great points and helped me to see things from a different perspective, like finding joy and light no matter the situation, I read something that I strongly disagree with and that goes against the Bible.
The author mentioned at least twice that to be saved, you have to be baptized. The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” The Bible very clearly says we are saved BY faith! And that we are not saved by our own selves; we have to have faith in God. If we have to be saved by baptism, then the salvation of everyone before Christ is disregarded; for God is no respecter of persons, as Acts 10:34 says, “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that His is no respecter of persons:” God did not change the way we obtain salvation; it has always been the same and always will be the same: seeking Him and putting your full faith in Him when you have become accountable.
David in Psalm 116 tells of how he was lost and apart from God, and when he called out to God to save Him, fully putting his faith in God, he was saved. Psalm 116:3-4 says, “The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.” David goes on to say in verses 8-9, “For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.” This is a very clear testimony of how David was accountable, lost, and separated from God, and If he died, he would have gone to hell. But when he called upon the name of the Lord and sought Him, the Lord saved him. David wasn’t baptized, didn’t shake anyone’s hand, say a specific prayer; he sought the Lord! Baptism is for saved individuals who join the church; that is how they become a member of the Lord’s church.
As a saved individual, I was still able to soak in some really good points made in this book about looking for God in every situation and finding joy in everything. I was just very bothered by the mentions of baptism being the way to be saved.
