Are believers truly believers when they reject the words of Jesus Christ?
Jesus tells us to believe in Him....that is the consistent message of the NT.
We come to Christ through faith. Peter recognized that and said so in two different situations.
The question is, do you believe His promise of John 5:24?
Have you cut off your right hand or gouged out your eye?
Sold all of your possessions?
You see, ADSUM, you have to understand the context of the passage to get the correct meaning.
