"someone likely coming from a set of traditions that includes 'Once Saved, Always Saved'"

I realize that there are some pseudo-christians that think all you have to do to be saved is confess the name of Christ, but if you're saying that summarizes most non-Roman Catholic denominations, you are very wrong. What Luther was saying (and has been twisted by the Roman Catholic hierarchy) is we are saved by God's Grace through Christ; none of us, no matter how righteous we strive to be, can save ourselves. That doesn't mean you confess the name of Christ as if were some kind of "Get out Hell Free" card. You should live your life in gratitude, and obey his commandments.

Dear ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY,

"I realize that there are some pseudo-christians that think all you have to do to be saved is confess the name of Christ, but if you're saying that summarizes most non-Roman Catholic denominations, you are very wrong."

Nope. That's not what I said.
