I've made it clear enough that I do not believe that any works that I do or do not do have any impact on my salvation.

So anything you do - by commission or omission - is ok so long as you say the sinner's prayer and believe the Trinity? Pride, selfishness, envy, hate… don't matter, so long as you "believe." I don't think you believe that.

That said I know I have not burned anyone at the stake for any belief.

Me either.

There are Christian churches that have done so.

Until the modern era, particularly during the Wars of Religion in Europe, 1525-1648, there was almost constant killing over religion. My ancestors were most likely on the Protestant side in Germany and Scandinavia. Yours?

What gives you such a poor view of your fellow Christians? Look I clearly point out that believers in the vein that you flow have burned people at the stake. Now tell me that that is Christlike. And they were baptized.

My roots evidently involve the Roman Catholic church since my grandmother came from Puerto Rico and my grandfather came from Mexico(on my mother's side). My grandmother and mother raised me in the Protestant church. But what does that matter?
