Is Watch Tower doctrine Christian? Part 2--Salvation by Grace!

Doctrine #2 - Salvation by Grace!

Salvation according to the WT.
All these requirements can be found in the WT, Feb. 15, 1983.

1st Requirement. "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."

So you must study and take in knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ. This would mean one needs to be involved in WT Bible studies. See my blog on, ”How does someone become a JW? Part 2” here.

2nd Requirement. One must obey God’s laws. You must live a clean, moral life as set out in the Bible.

3rd Requirement. A person needs to be associated with God’s channel. In plain English, you need to be a JW in good standing.

4th Requirement. You must be a “publisher” (actively going door-to-door).


Salvation according to the Bible.


Only through Jesus and His death on the cross are we saved.

2 Cor. 5:21, "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

In other words, when God looks at Jesus, He sees us and when He looks at us, He sees Jesus. It is nothing that we have done, it is entirely of God.

Eph. 2:8-10 “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Here is Part 3, "Is the WT doctrine Christian, "The Bodily Resurrection of Jesus."
