So people who believe out of fear aren’t saved?

---

I won’t say who is saved or not, but if you are performing works because you are afraid if you don’t do them you are not saved, you are participating in works based salvation, which is the opposite of what Jesus taught (”Not of works, lest anyone should boast.”).

Yes that’s what Ephesians 2:8-9 says. My point was that I believe MANY have come to Salvation by Fearing the Lord (by terror of punishment for the unbeliever). We were all there at one point in our lives. The fear you talk about in #17 is for Saved Christians. Yes, we are in Awe of Him—always!
