People think there is some process to go through, but it isn't the case. All one has to do is accept Jesus, and their saved. No magic ceremonies required.

Thanks

Accept him where? For what? Why? Into my home for Memorial Day? For what purpose? And which one? Jesus Gonzalez? Jesus Garcia? Jesus Rodriguez? And how will he save me? Am I drowning? Burning? Choking? In danger from something or someone killing me? What danger am I in?

No.

Jesus saves us when HE ACCEPTS US.

See Acts 10:35, and Acts 15:8.

Jesus does not accept those who do not accept him.
Where do you get that?

Logic. What you are talking about is a obfuscation utilizing the idea of a Jesus that is forgiving, etc. There is an 'ideal' acceptance of Jesus, then the situation where it might not be the case. It's like, why even argue that? Just think about it, once someone has the opportunity and truth to accept Jesus, why obfuscate with possible 'excuses' of non-acceptance? If you truly believe that, btw, why are you insistent on any theological matters? Wouldn't it be more consistent to just use that argument for the justification of any belief?

No thanks, I would rather accept the other thousands of Gods who rose from the dead like Osiris.

I think Matthew 25 (Parable of the Sheep & Goats), plus various other verses, say otherwise. The idea of one being saved simply for have a single politically-correct belief was certainly not what Torah states nor what the early church believed.

Do you agree?

We have to do more than just believe. We have to do more than just accept Jesus.

Do you agree?

Irrelevant, imo. It's like taking the pepperoni off a five meat pizza and calling yourself a vegan.

Jesus knows who he is going to accept, and we have to be acceptable to him first before he does accept us.

Jesus is the way. Jesus tells us whom he asks an why. Jesus tells us what to do to be accepted.

What I say is relevant. What I am talking about is God's Truth.

Jesus saves us when he accepts us. We have to accept Jesus. Our faith alone is not enough to be accepted. We must have faith with obedience. Faith with obedience is alive. Faith without action is dead..
