Norm,

A confession of faith (a TRUE one) that stems from a belief in Christ alone to save you will bring about a change in behavior, but it does not make a change in behavior REQUIRED to inherit the kingdom of God. A change in behavior is one of the proofs that salvation has ALREADY OCCURRED, but that doesn’t make it required. Expected is NOT required.

The Mormons put the cart before the horse, again.

God is the only one who knows what’s in a person’s heart.

So how can one human say that another human’s confession is NOT true?

(P.S. That’s a genuine question: I’m not merely baiting you.)
(This thread already has its fill of people trying to trap other people.)

Thanks for your thoughts, Reaganaut.

What would you consider a true confession of faith as opposed to a false or inadequate one?
