1. You start with faith in Jesus Christ

Actually you start by hearing the Word of God and acknowledging that its the Truth and confessing that you are a sinner in need of a Savior and asking God to forgive you...(have you ever done that ???)

2. If you have faith in Jesus Christ, you will follow His commandments.

Nope

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

we have yet to establish whether you have ever heard the Word of God..

3. His commandments include doing His works.

Nope

The LORD Jesus Christ only gave us TWO Commandments..

One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"

"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'

The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:28-31

4. As you do His works your faith grows.

Nope

As you pray in tongues your faith grows..

Building yourself up in your most Holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. Jude 1:20

5. Enduring to the end means, the end of your life.

For Christians life never ends...that's why God calls it life everlasting..

6. Jesus will judge you based on your works, which is indicator of your faith.

Nope

God will judge me on what I did about the LORD Jesus Christ

7. Works do not save you. Jesus Christ saves you.

Then why bother to do the works ??? God is not into "just in case"

But in order for Him to grant salvation you have to prove where your faith lies.

Nope

God never make it that hard to be saved. Christians aren't pretzels.

[TN]The LORD Jesus Christ only gave us TWO Commandments..

Only two? Seriously?

Do you realize that Jesus was teaching simplistically? He was teaching a concept. He wasn't going down into all the details.

You've created set of beliefs stemming from your own philosophies mingled with a little scripture.

You're trying to take the final exam just from looking at the syllabus.

[TN]God never make it that hard to be saved. Christians aren't pretzels.

Salvation is actually quite difficult. It's achievable but you have to want it.

3. His commandments include doing His works.

Nope


You do realize that Matt 25 and the entire book of James is in contradiction to your beliefs right??

Here's the problem I have with everything you say. You're not accountable to anyone or any religion. You made up your own beliefs based on your own conclusions you picked up from the Bible.

And since your beliefs are yours, you should be able to amend them whenever you're shown truth. But you don't. On the contrary, you shut it out.

Matt 7
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Salvation is a journey. It's a path. It's not immediate as is falsely taught by some on this forum. Notice, in the Lord's own words, only a few will actually find the path and follow it.

Only a few will be saved.

Here's a math problem for ya:

If belief is all that's required for salvation and all of you "historical" christians all pretty much the same. And Jesus said that only a "few" would be saved among the believers... what's the deciding factor then?

How come, according to Jesus Himself, 99.9% of all the "christians" are actually going to hell... how can that be if all they had to do was believe?
