You forgot or better yet probably just left out other elements of justification: having babies, baptism, repentance, etc. all of which are in the Bible.

Those matters are part of our sanctification, not our justification.

As has been said, if you get justification wrong, just about everything else will be off. And so it is with your denial that justification is by Christ alone as a one-time, perfectly performed, complete and personalized atonement of the sins of His sheep, according to the will and purpose of God from before the foundation of the world.

"But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." -- Hebrews 10:12-14


"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." -- Romans 5:19

Being saved for having babies is part of "sanctification" and not "justification?" So there are two ways of being saved?
