The Examination of Faith: A Quick Self-Test Scriptural Requirements for Salvation.

​

"Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith.It asks: Is my faith a living, breathing part of who I am, or am I just going through the motions?Test yourselves..." — 2 Corinthians 13:5   He wants us to find out now, in the quiet of our own prayer lives, if we are operating in the flesh or the Spirit—rather than standing before Him on Judgement Day only to hear the words, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness" (Matthew 7:23).

​​

The Scriptural Checkpoint: "There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." — Acts 4:12

The Name Audit

1. Are you aware that the letter "J" did not exist in any language until around the 15th-17th century, meaning the Savior could never have been called "Jesus" during His time on earth?[ ] YES [ ] NO.

2. Do you recognize that the Savior was born a Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah, and therefore carried an authentic Hebrew name? [ ] YES [ ] NO

3. Do you know that His original Hebrew name is Yahshua (or Yeshua)—the exact same name shared by Joshua in the Old Testament [ ] YES [ ] NO

4. Are you aware that the name Yahshua literally means "Yahweh is Salvation," directly embedding the Father's personal name (יהוה / Yah) into the Son's name? [ ] YES [ ] NO

5. Do you realize that the English name "Jesus" completely removes this linguistic link, stripping the Father’s name out of the Messiah’s identity?[ ] YES [ ] NO

6. Now that you know the original, covenant name given by the angel from heaven (Matthew 1:21), will you consciously choose to honor it over later altered forms?[ ] YES [ ] NO

7. Are you aware that the name "Jesus" (Iesus) came from the Greek "Iēsous" and later Latin, which changed the original Hebrew pronunciation and meaning?[ ] YES [ ] NO

8. Do you recognize that the Apostles and early believers called the Messiah by His Hebrew name, not a later Greco-Roman version?[ ] YES [ ] NO

9. Are you aware that the Sacred Name Yahshua preserves the direct connection to the Father’s Name Yahweh, as emphasized in Scripture?[ ] YES [ ] NO

10. Do you believe that restoring the original name Yahshua is necessary for returning to the pure faith of the early believers?[ ] YES [ ] NO

11. Are you aware that the name "Jesus" has no meaning in Hebrew, while Yahshua clearly means "Yahweh saves"?[ ] YES [ ] NO

12. Do you understand that it is important to use the Savior’s name as it was originally given in Hebrew rather than later translated and altered forms?[ ] YES [ ] NO

13. Will you make a deliberate effort to use the name Yahshua (or Yeshua) in your prayers, worship, study, and daily life moving forward?[ ] YES [ ] NO

14. Do you reject any name that breaks the connection to Yahweh’s salvation embedded in the true name?[ ] YES [ ] NO

15. Are you committed to using only the original Hebrew name regardless of popularity or custom?[ ] YES [ ] NO

​​Scoring

• 13–15 Yes: Full alignment with the original truth.

• 9–12 Yes: Strong recognition but room to fully apply.

• 0–8 Yes: Still holding to altered forms.

​

• Factual Note:

The Messiah’s original name was Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ), a shortened form of Yehoshua (יְהוֹשׁוּעַ / Joshua). Hebrew etymology: It derives from the root יָשַׁע (yasha — to save, deliver, rescue). The name combines the theophoric prefix Yah (from יהוה / Yahweh) + shua (salvation/cry for help), literally meaning "Yahweh saves" or "Yahweh is salvation."

​

Hebrew Alphabet History:

The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 letters and has never included the letter "J" or the "J" sound. Ancient Hebrew used the yod (י) which produces a "Y" sound (as in "yes"). The Savior’s name in Hebrew letters is ישוע (Yod-Shin-Vav-Ayin), pronounced approximately Yeh-shoo-ah or Yah-shoo-ah. The letter J did not exist in any alphabet until the 15th-17th centuries in European languages​​

​ This is what the Bible define sin

 

1. Breaking the Sabbath? Yes (Exodus 20:8) — By working, shopping, or doing regular business on the 7th day.

2. Gossip or Talebearing? Yes (Leviticus 19:16) — By sharing rumors or venting about others behind their backs.

3. Dishonest Business/Time? Yes (Deuteronomy 25:13-15) — By cutting corners on the job or cheating an employer on hours.

4. Holding a Grudge? Yes (Leviticus 19:18) — By keeping a mental scorecard or harboring hidden bitterness.

5. Showing Favoritism? Yes (James 2:9) — By treating someone better because of their wealth or social status.

6. Tuning Out God's Commands? Yes (Proverbs 28:9) — By actively closing your ears to the Law, which makes even your prayers detestable.

7. Willful Ignorance? Yes (Leviticus 5:17) — By breaking a command even if you claim you "didn't realize" it; the Bible still holds you accountable.

8. Refusing to Listen to Warning? Yes (Zechariah 7:11-12) — By stopping up the ears and making the heart like flint so the words of the Law cannot get through.

9. Forgetting the Law Over Time? Yes (Hosea 4:6) — By neglecting to study or pass down the commandments until they are forgotten entirely.

10. Replacing the Messiah's True Hebrew Name? Yes (Jeremiah 23:27, Exodus 23:13) — By substituting the original Hebrew name Yeshua (which means "Yahweh is Salvation") with translated names, which many scriptural literalists argue obscures His true identity, lineage, and the Hebrew roots of the faith.

11. General Disobedience to God's Commandments? (1 John 3:4, Matthew 19:17) — By walking in intentional lawlessness and choosing not to live according to the rules and instructions laid out by the Father.

12. Ignoring God's Appointed Days (Feasts/Moedim)?  (Leviticus 23, Numbers 29:40) — By bypassing or replacing the set-apart calendar dates God specifically called "My Feasts" and commanded His people to keep forever. Instead keeping Pagan Christmas and Easter 

13. Violating God's Dietary/Food Laws? Yes (Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14) — By eating animals that God explicitly designated as unclean and forbidden, which defiles the body He called to be set apart. ​

​

Conclusion:  Sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4), then the key question is whether a particular action violates a command of God as revealed in Scripture. Therefore, determining what is or is not sin should come from God's Word rather than personal opinion, tradition, culture, or majority belief. If God commands it, obedience is righteousness; if God forbids it, disobedience is sin. The standard is not what people think, but what God has spoken.
Spiritual separation from God: "Your iniquities have separated you from your God" (Isaiah 59:2). Ongoing sin creates distance in your relationship with God.
Guilt, shame, and inner torment: Many people describe a heavy conscience, anxiety, or spiritual emptiness.
Damaged character and bondage: Yeshua said, "Everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin" (John 8:34). Habits of lying, lust, anger, greed, etc., get stronger and harder to break.
Earthly consequences: Broken relationships, health issues (e.g., from sexual sin, addiction, violence), financial ruin, loss of reputation, and legal problems.
Eternal consequences: The New Testament warns that unrepentant, ongoing sin leads to spiritual death and hell (Romans 6:23 – "The wages of sin is death"). However, genuine repentance and faith Yeshua brings forgiveness.

​

​True Repentance Test (Answer Yes or No to each):

1. Have you openly admitted (to God and/or the person(s) you wronged) exactly what you did without making excuses or minimizing it? [ ] YES [ ] NO

2. Do you feel deep sorrow for the sin itself — not just because you got caught or faced consequences?[ ] YES [ ] NO

3. Have you stopped the specific sinful behavior (or are you actively taking concrete steps to stop it completely)?[ ] YES [ ] NO

4. Are you willing to make restitution or amends where possible (returning what was taken, apologizing, fixing damage, etc.)?[ ] YES [ ] NO

5. Have you asked God for forgiveness and turned away from that sin toward obedience?

6. Do you now hate the sin you once loved or excused?[ ] YES [ ] NO

7. Are you actively seeking accountability (a trusted mentor, pastor, or group) to help you stay on the right path?[ ] YES [ ] NO

8. Has your daily life and choices begun to show real change in that area (not perfection, but clear progress)?[ ] YES [ ] NO

9. Are you willing to resist temptation even when no one is watching?[ ] YES [ ] NO

10. Do you desire a restored relationship with God more than you desire returning to the sin? [ ] YES [ ] NO

Scoring / Interpretation:

8–10 Yes answers: Strong evidence of genuine repentance.

5–7 Yes answers: Partial repentance — there is some sincerity, but incomplete turning.

0–4 Yes answers: Likely just regret or remorse, not full biblical repentance.

True repentance produces fruit — changed behavior, humility, and a new direction (see Matthew 3:8

Factual Note:
Repentance (Hebrew: Teshuvah / Greek: Metanoia) is the essential first step to salvation. It means turning back to Yahweh and obeying His instructions through the Messiah Yahshua (יֵשׁוּעַ — “Yahweh saves”). Ancient Semitic understanding viewed repentance as a physical and spiritual return to the covenant path. Yahshua preached: “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). True repentance always leads to proper baptism in Yahshua’s name, walking in the Spirit, and keeping Yahweh’s commandments.

• Here is a clear Yes/No self-assessment to help determine if you are currently living “in the flesh” (carnal, sinful nature) according to the Bible (Romans 8:5-8, Galatians 5:16-21).

•  

• “Am I in the Flesh?” Test

• Answer Yes or No honestly to each:

1. Do I frequently give in to sinful desires even when I know they are wrong?

2. Is my mind mostly occupied with worldly things (money, pleasure, status, lust, anger, revenge)?

3. Do I often justify or excuse my sin instead of fighting it?

4. Am I controlled more by my emotions, appetites, or impulses than by God’s Word?

5. Do I have ongoing patterns of behavior like bitterness, jealousy, gossip, sexual sin, greed, or outbursts of anger?

6. Is prayer and time in God’s Word inconsistent or mostly absent in my daily life?

7. Do I prioritize my own comfort, desires, and will over obedience to God?

8. Am I quick to argue, get offended, or hold grudges?

9. Do I feel little conviction or grief when I sin?

10. Is my life producing more of the “works of the flesh” (Galatians 5:19-21) than the “fruit of the Spirit” (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, etc.)?

11. Scoring & Interpretation:

12. 8–10 Yes answers: Strong evidence you are currently living in the flesh (carnal mind).

13. 5–7 Yes answers: You are struggling and partially in the flesh — mixed living.

​

​Scoring & Interpretation:

8–10 Yes answers: Strong evidence you are currently living in the flesh (carnal mind).

5–7 Yes answers: You are struggling and partially in the flesh — mixed living.

0–4 Yes answers: You are mostly walking in the Spirit, though no one is perfect.

Key Bible Truth:

“Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires… The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” (Romans 8:5-6) If many answers were “Yes,” that is not the end — genuine repentance and surrender to the Holy Spirit can change this immediately.

Would you like me to create a similar test for walking in the Spirit, or adjust this one for a specific area of struggle?

​

Here is a clear Yes/No self-assessment to help determine if you are currently walking in the Spirit (according to the Bible — Galatians 5:16-25, Romans 8:5-14).

 

1. “Am I Walking in the Spirit?” Test

2. Answer Yes or No honestly to each:

3. Do I experience regular conviction from the Holy Spirit when I start to sin, and quickly turn away?

4. Is my mind increasingly occupied with God’s Word, prayer, and eternal things rather than worldly desires?

5. Do I have a growing desire to obey God even when it’s inconvenient or costly?

6. Am I producing the fruit of the Spirit in my daily life (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control)?

7. Do I rely on prayer and the Holy Spirit for strength instead of trying to fight sin in my own power?

8. Am I quick to forgive others and free from bitterness or grudges?

9. Do I feel genuine sorrow for sin but also joy and freedom in Christ afterward?

10. Is obedience to God becoming more natural and joyful rather than forced?

11. Do I have accountability and fellowship with other believers to help me grow spiritually?

12. Does my life show clear evidence of change and progress away from past sinful patterns?

 

Scoring & Interpretation:

8–10 Yes answers: Strong evidence you are walking in the Spirit.

5–7 Yes answers: You are growing but still have areas where the flesh is active — keep pressing in.

0–4 Yes answers: You are likely still mostly living in the flesh (see the previous test).

Key Bible Truth:

​“Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh… Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:16, 25)

True life in the Spirit is marked by freedom, fruit, and dependence on God — not perfection, but direction.

​

 Proper Baptism:
Answer YES or NO honestly to each:
Factual Note:

​​

Did you repent of your sins and turn to Yahweh before being baptized?

1. Was your baptism done after you personally believed in Yahshua as the Messiah, not as an infant or child?

2. Were you baptized into the death and resurrection of Yahshua (Romans 6:3-4), not into a Trinity formula?

3. Did the person who baptized you use the original Hebrew name Yahshua, not the later altered name “Jesus”?

4. Was your baptism accompanied by a clear change of life and obedience to Yahweh’s commands afterward?

5. Do you understand that baptism is for the remission of sins and to receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38)?

6. Were you baptized by someone who themselves follows the original faith and uses the sacred names?

7. Have you rejected any baptism done in ignorance or in man-made traditions that contradict Scripture?

8. Do you now see the need to be re-baptized if your previous baptism did not meet the original biblical pattern?​

9. Are you committed to honoring the true name Yahshua in all matters, including baptism?​

​

Scoring 10–12 Yes: Strong evidence of proper biblical baptism.7–9 Yes: Partially correct but incomplete — areas need correction.4–6 Yes: Questionable baptism — likely needs re-examination.0–3 Yes:

​

Factual Note on Baptism:

The original command is found in Acts 2:38: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahshua the Messiah for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” The Messiah’s name is Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ), meaning “Yahweh saves.” Ancient Semitic phonetics confirm the pronunciation begins with Yod (/y/ sound), never “J”. Proper baptism follows the pattern of full immersion by believers who have repented, using the true name given by the angel (Matthew 1:21), not later Greco-Roman alterations.
 

​

​

10–12 Yes: Strong evidence of properly keeping the Sabbath.

7–9 Yes: Mostly keeping it but with some areas of compromise.

4–6 Yes: Partial or inconsistent observance.

0–3 Yes: Not properly keeping the biblical Sabbath.

Factual Note on Sabbath:
The Sabbath is the 7th day of the week (Saturday), observed from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday (Leviticus 23:32). In Hebrew it is called Shabbat (שַׁבָּת), from the root שָׁבַת (shavat) meaning “to cease, desist, or rest.” It was commanded at Creation (Genesis 2:2-3) and written into the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11). Ancient Semitic calendar systems followed a 7-day cycle with the 7th day as holy rest. Proper observance includes complete rest from work, holy convocation, and honoring Yahweh using His true name. The Messiah Yahshua (יֵשׁוּעַ — “Yahweh saves”) kept and taught the Sabbath according to Torah.

​

Here is the direct, condensed fact sheet on how the phrase "first day of the week" entered our Bibles:

1. The Original Greek Says "Sabbath"

In every single resurrection account (e.g., Matthew 28:1, John 20:1), the original Greek manuscripts do not say "first day of the week." They literally read:

μία τῶν σαββάτων (Mia tōn sabbatōn) — "The first of the Sabbaths"

Linguistically, this directly references the Hebrew command to count seven weekly Sabbaths leading up to Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15).

2. Early Translations Maintained "Sabbath"

The earliest historical translations did not use the word "week."

• The Latin Vulgate (382 AD): Translates it literally as "Una autem sabbati" ("The first of the Sabbath").

• Wycliffe’s English Bible (1382): Translates it straight from the Latin as "one day of the sabotis" ("one day of the Sabbaths").

3. Why It Changed to "Week"

The shift happened in the 1500s (starting with William Tyndale and formalized by the King James Version in 1611).

Translators swapped the literal word "Sabbath" for the idiomatic phrase "first day of the week" to make the text fit the Roman solar calendar used by Western readers. To make it work, the KJV translators had to add the words "day of the" in italics, proving those words do not exist in the original Greek text.

The Bottom Line: The phrase "first day of the week" is a later human interpretation. The earliest manuscripts completely tie the resurrection timeline to the Hebrew Sabbath calendar.

​Here is the Truth-Only Yes/No self-assessment to determine if you are properly Born Again:
Properly Born Again Audit
Answer YES or NO honestly to each:

 

1. Have you genuinely repented of all sin and turned away from your former life of disobedience?

2. Have you been fully immersed in water in the name of Yahshua for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38)?

3. Did you receive the Holy Spirit after your repentance and proper baptism?

4. Are you now walking in newness of life, obeying Yahweh’s commandments including the Sabbath and Food Laws?

5. Do you use only the true names Yahweh and Yahshua in your prayers and worship?

6. Has there been a clear, visible change in your life — rejecting sin and the traditions of men?

7. Are you producing the fruit of the Spirit and turning away from the works of the flesh?

8. Do you keep the seventh-day Sabbath holy according to Scripture?

9. Do you follow Yahweh’s clean food laws as written in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14?

10. Have you been born of both water and Spirit as Yahshua taught in John 3:3-5?

11. Are you actively seeking to obey all of Yahshua’s teachings and the Torah given by Yahweh?

12. Do you now live as a set-apart, covenant-keeping believer who honors the original faith?

​
Scoring

10–12 Yes: Strong evidence of being properly Born Again.

7–9 Yes: Partial new birth experience — areas still need full surrender.

4–6 Yes: Questionable or incomplete new birth.

0–3 Yes: Not yet properly Born Again according to the biblical pattern.

​​

Factual Note:

To be properly “Born Again” (John 3:3-7) means to repent, be immersed in the name of Yahshua (יֵשׁוּעַ), and receive the Holy Spirit. The name Yeshua comes from the Hebrew root יָשַׁע (yashaʿ — “to save, deliver”), meaning “Yahweh saves.” Ancient Semitic phonetics confirm the pronunciation Yah-shoo-ah (Yod = /y/ sound, no “J”). True new birth produces obedience to Yahweh’s commandments (Sabbath, Food Laws, etc.) and separation from man-made religious traditions (1 John 2:3-6, Acts 2:38).
