Do you have a problem with Christ teaching that salvation is conditional - based on faith in Him? Wouldn't you say that is conditional salvation?

No, I would say "conditional salvation" in the parlance of FR is "do this and then you'll earn salvation."

However, since the payment for those conditions has already been made by Christ to redeem those whom God had given Him from before the foundation of the world, a Christian's responsibility is not to pencil in the correct answers, but to live according to the faith we've been given by grace alone.

I see. WHO on FR actually believes that salvation is earned? I have posted over 1200 times in 7 months and I don't recall anyone claiming that their religious tradition includes earning one's salvation.

Maybe the Moonies? I don't know who you might be refering to...By the way, I agree with everything in your last paragraph. Just curious to know who believes in earning their salvation.

Regards
