Yes, well you are believing that God will accept your whole self regardless if you become blessed to stop sinning and become truly obedient to God. So that is affirmative action salvation in my eyes, at least one type. a watered down salvation! ...just as black and other students were allowed into some colleges not by merit, thereby watering down the power of that education. Not the same, but similar.

Yes, I AM believing GOD, because it is HIM that tells me But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) I couldn't care less what you think by your eyes. Only what God thinks matters. Just as I showed you, and which you continue to ignore, NO ONE gets into heaven by their merit. The fact that you do demonstrates that you believe an accursed gospel and it cannot save you! What you call being "blessed to stop sinning" is a facade, a false front, it has nothing whatsoever to do with being saved. As I explained in the post before this one, we are given a new spirit nature that empowers us to no longer be a slave to sin but which seeks after righteous living that honors and glorifies God. We are NOT saved by our works, but by God's unmerited, undeserved, unworked for GRACE. And grace would not be grace if works becomes a part of the deal. How I pray that you understand this!
