Kindred,
Who told you that you would be saved if you believed in Jesus?
And somehow you do not have to do or be anything else, but believe in Jesus to be saved?
And that you can commit any sin and somehow you would be forgiven (automatically if you just believe)?
Why not actually hear the words of Jesus Christ?
Directly from scripture.
"Not everyone who calls me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only those who do what my Father in heaven wants them to do.
When the Judgement Day comes, many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!
Then I will say to them, 'I never knew you. Get away from me you wicked people!'
- Matthew 7:21-23
(Luke 13: 25-27)
Does it sound like Jesus is talking to a bunch of unbelievers or believers?
And does it sound like the the unholies were forgiven by Jesus?
And in the end, were those people allowed to enter the Kingdom of heaven?
Who's words carry greater weight and moral authority?
Do not stray from the Words of Jesus Christ and think you are following Jesus, because you would not.
And if you stray from Jesus Christ, are you a true believer?
