Some other time, it's late. Suffice to say that they do not believe in Salvation by grace.

For one thing, that's completely untrue, but let's ignore that for the moment. Suppose it were true. Does the fact that a religious group holds a doctrine that you disagree with make it a 'cult'?

"Some other time, it's late. Suffice to say that they do not believe in Salvation by grace."

That's correct. But what mainline Christian Church does?

Of course we believe in salvation by grace - but we follow the instructions given - to repent and be baptised for the remission of our sins and we shall be saved.

Just what is wrong with following instructions from Jesus?

We can each decide what we think - but does it really matter what any of us "think"? We are not giving the salvation. And, I would think that God gave us instructions on how we are to become Christians and receive his gift of salvation.

So - therefore, if Jesus told us to repent and be baptised and we would be saved.....just why should I delete part of this instruction and decide my way is sufficient?

Who are we pleasing by nickpicking? God or ourselves? Do we expect God to jump through our hoops to alter His instructions to win our belief? Don't think so.
