"There are no amount of good works you can do to "earn" your way to heaven."

The New Decalogue established by Christ says otherwise. These are the Two Greatest Commandments and the eight Beatitudes and thery require you get up off your butt and earn your Salvation.

Whatever it is you’re talking about is unscriptural. There is no “new” revelation from Jesus. You are adding to the Word of God (just like Catholics do), and you are dead wrong in your statements.

Our salvation is by grace alone, through faith in Jesus, and that faith comes from the Lord opening our minds to understand and receive the Word of God. Salvation is a gift of God.

Good works will follow living with the Spirit of Christ in you, but those works do not, never could, “earn” your salvation.

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
