But go on believing they understand that only Jesus saves them. Make sure you never "offend" them by telling them that their ordinances can add nothing to the gift of salvation. It might disturb their sensibilities. Never mind that your testimony could possibly set them free of the bondage of their self-reliance for their own exaltation.

I think you misunderstand me here. I pull no punches when it comes to my advocacy of the Essentials of Salvation which I've already stated in prior posts. It is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, and the Blood, the Blood and nothing but the Blood, that saves us from eternal damnation and separation from God.

Truth be told, there are many denominations, cults and groups that insist that they and they alone hold the franchise on 'how to get to heaven' and all they're doing is trying to re-invent the wheel, when the Big Wheel is Jesus, and He doesn't need to be re-invented, re-packaged, re-painted or any of that, He only needs for us to RE-PEAT what He has said, and I try to do that at every opportunity that I have, if my words (which are merely quotations of His Words) are well received, wonderful and Praise God. If they offend anyone, to put it as my earthly (and earthy) personality does so often, "too damn bad".

Every day, I just try to do my best, and trust Jesus for the rest. That's all I can do.

Thank you. That is a wonderful message....it is THE only message that IS wonderful!

“the Big Wheel is Jesus, and He doesn’t need to be re-invented, re-packaged, re-painted or any of that, He only needs for us to RE-PEAT what He has said, and I try to do that at every opportunity that I have”

Yeah, I can hear Jesus saying that.
