That seems a little complicated to me. I think there is only 1 thing you need to do to be saved.

Romans 10:9
that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

Oh?

Matthew 19:16-21 (NIV):
Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"

"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."

"Which ones?" the man inquired.

Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'"

"All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?"

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
I don't see "belief" or "faith" anywhere in that list. ;)

I think Jesus said not all who say Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of God.

I don't believe that Jesus was making the point that you have to obey a few commandments to have eternal life. What He was trying to show the man was:

1.) Only God is good so if you call me good, do you believe that I am God?

2.) You aren't as good as you think you are. If you supposedly kept all the commandments that Jesus summarized in his response, all you need to do is give your possessions to the poor and you'll be perfect.

Obviously the man didn't like that because he went away troubled. I believe the next verse says that it's easier for the camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to go to heaven or something like that. I don't think you'll find anywhere in the bible that you will receive salvation through keeping the commandment. It is by grace that you have been saved through faith. This parable isn't meant to address how to inherit eternal life. It was meant to show that God needs to be #1 in your life and that you cannot worship two master (ie God and money).

I'm quite curious to why this poster keeps listing scriptures and bits of words and nothing else. Are we supposed to just believe it on face value or is there a debate that they would like to go on? :cool:

Well sorry :sorry1: you think that the Word of God is complicated. Looks real easy to me. Confession is just one part of salvation.

I think Jesus said not all who say Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of God.

You are right.

Matthew 7:21-23

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS


The fact is only the people who does the will of God will be saved. That same will I posted.

I can find just as much, even more, to validate the Illiad, Necronomicon, Huck Finn, MacBeth, or any other book.
I'll even write my own book and claim it's true based on a few random lines that show it to be true.
