I believe also.
Jesus brought light to the world by preaching love.
We can see the devastating effects of the opposite in the followers of Mohammad - or those who believe nothing.

Anyone with a functioning brain believes in Jesus Christ. The question to some is whether he was the son of God or not.

Amen!!!!!
Jesus lives. If you need to, ask Him to show himself to you. Jesus answers prayer.
And again AMEN!!!!!

Why did He risk Himself to save somebody like me. I certainly did not deserve it; still dont think I do. There is one thing I do know, without reservation; Jesus is always with us and for some reason will never leave us.His mercy is so great we will never fully understand it. But to have received His free gift of Grace and to know you never deserved it magnifies for you how great His mercy is.
Imagine if this free gift were something you bought with "good works". Would it seem so great, or would it just be repayment owed to you?

They were appealing to their own works, not the works of Jesus.
Just because someone throws a “ in Jesus’ name” on the end of something, doesn’t mean it really was done that way.
Not to mention they were boasting in them, just like the Pharisees. Done for public display.

Christians are not dieing for a lie.
The Holy Spirit testifies to this.

I believe those wanted to glorify themselves and not God by all the miracles ‘they’ did.

Jesus brought light to the world by preaching love. But He brought salvation into the world by preaching repentance, which has to precede any sense of "love" --

...23And Jesus said to him, "'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes." 24Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief."
IKt is the human condition - we aspire to do God's will for us and most of us are incapable of even wanting to be 100% in His will because our humanity makes and keeps us imperfect except for how His sacrifice made us saints in His eyes.

Thanks for the ping. Excellent article.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ"!! Satan works pretty hard to complicate that statement or place doubts.

It really really bugs me when people say “accept” instead of “believe”.

Note what the works actually are ...
1. Prophecy
2. Cast out demons
3. Miracles
Personally ... I find it chilling that the fastest growing Christian churches are charismatic ... at least in my area.

It's so simple we confuse ourselves making it complex. I have made similar statements myself. Only theologians and the religious make it complicated. I encourage new Christians to read Ephesians multiple times before turning to other books in the Bible. You must KNOW who and where you are IN CHRIST, and when and why Christ chose you, and His purpose for doing this. Armed with this revelation knowledge, you will not be sidetracked, or misled by religion, which has no place in the Body of Christ of this present age of Grace.
Thanks for the ping!

Especially since the works that Jesus told us to do was give a drink to those who are thirsty and feed those who are hungry.

Matthew 7:21Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? 23And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.
Perhaps you can expound on the verses quoted. Especially the portion which I bolded above. What do the Scriptures tell us is 'the will of the Father?' That is the key to the verses you posted and frankly the entire subject of the article posted.
