LOL! If one has been saved by the Blood of Christ and accepting Him as their savior, then even though he may still have impure thoughts and commit impure acts, he is seen as pure in the eyes of God.

If one has not accepted Christ, one cannot be pure.

Perhaps, "Accept Christ as your savior" would be the best advice.

The Messiah already told His disciples what was required. It does not match the modern view of "Accept Christ as your savior", for they had already done that.

It is much closer to "be pure", with the understanding that those who are His disciples are continually watching to maintain their faith and works (which really cannot be separated). The Messiah said this many times, over and over again warning all His disciples. He spoke in the last book to the seven churches in Revelation, that were genuine churches of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church. They had candlesticks and angels associated with them. They had already accepted Messiah as Savior but they had left their first love, they had neglected to do the first works, they had tolerated the doctrine of Baalam, the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, the woman Jezebel, who called herself a prophetess, they stopped watching and defiled their salvation garments, and had become lukewarm (except for Philadelphia).
