Bremenboy, I think the way is straight and narrow, but I don’t think it is deliberately peppered with doctrinal landmines. I really don’t think there is an “entrance exam” whereby you need to correctly answer questions about methods of baptism, young earth/old earth, limited or unlimited atonement, etc. If you accept Jesus as your Savior, you’re in.

I would agree that there are no Entrance Exams Their are however Entrance requirements example of one is

Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

We may disagree as to what is involved in meeting that entrance requirement but I think we both can agree it is required. I believe when one exam's what the baptist teach regarding this requirement that they are in error. If so can't be in kingdom. I believe therefor I speak

If you accept Jesus as your Savior, you’re in

Is that what you truly believe? If so what about accepting him as Lord? there is a difference between accepting him as your savior and accepting him as your lord. if we want to be saved we need to accept him as both Lord and savior

A lord is one who has authority

1Co 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

If we accept him as our savor but deny him as Lord by not doing his will. Can we still be saved?
