Acts 10:2

These do not have the power to save:

• Being devout
• Being God-fearing
• Being generous
• Being a prayer warrior

About being saved

• Only Jesus has the power to safe
  Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone.
  Acts 4:12 (CEV)
  Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done, so none of us can take any credit for it.
  Ephesians 2:9 (TLB)

• Holy Spirit reaches for those whose spirit is ready to be reached.
  If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
  Romans 8:11 (ESV)

One who is truly saved then, through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit becomes:

• Devout and devoted to God and all things of God
• God-fearing
• Generous
• A prayer warrior

These things occur as a result of our salvation; not so that one might be saved.

But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.
Acts 12:5

I wonder how long Peter was in prison.

Marvel in the gift and sacrifice of my salvation and spend my life being devout, God-fearing, generous, and praying.
