I agree with you, I was more pointing out the difference between all other faiths on the True Christian faith.

We are the only Faith that believes that by God's grace we are forgiven even before the deeds if we simply accept God's love given through his son. Once that is done, by the very virtue of following his word and feeling his grace we do good works. We don't have to work to be worthy as other faiths do, that worthiness was already given to us, we just have to accept and keep it.

That is what makes True Christianity the one true faith, for a powerful God can do such and does make his followers play games to reach heaven.

No one is talking about playing games to reach heaven. If there was ever a scripture that refuted such a myth about my faith, it's this one.

Rev. 20: 12-13
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Keeping the commandments of God is not playing games. It's the reason we are here, to walk by faith and live as HE would have us live.

Cheers.
