Dan, I know that you were trying to be charitable, but the "original poster" has told us what he meant in #99. It isn't pretty.
BTW, even though the casual observor might think that we are on opposite ends of the "what must I do to be saved?" question, that is not the case. You have stated the role of faith, originating out of God's grace. I stressed God's operation in bringing grace. I believe that our posts on the requirements for salvation are quite complimentary.
As to specific examples, read the bible with the blinders off. Jesus told that one young man that in order to be saved he had to sell everything he had and "Come follow me". He doesn't tell everybody to do that. He had an enigmatic message for the woman at the well.
That's that. Unlike the rest of you I don't have an inside track to the Throne of God but I have faith as a grain of mustard seed. I think I'll just rest on the faith I do have and let God worry about the rest.
I'd like to see the Neilson ratings and compare to midnight mass from St. Peter's
I certainly believe confession, repentance and acceptance of Christ's Blood as covering for our sins is probably the KEY salvation moment. . . . but I also see Salvation as a process . . . at some point in the wooing, we say I DO. . . and God leads us on down into and up out of baptism in that identification with Christ and onward from being legally perfect to having that full Salvation of Christ's perfection worked into our being bit by bit and not finished in this time/space dimension we call life.
Yet, I think Aliska has a point when she notes that God looks on the heart--my paraphrase--I suspect we'll find all sorts of people there we thought didn't have a snowball's chance in hell.
