Eternal Bump.
What I was trying to say is that "salvation in a moment" is not the way I read the Bible. It takes a lifetime of good works such as praying, active church membership and living as holy a life as we can. Not that we aren't all sinners, we are. The thing is, do you honestly repent and beg for forgivness and then try not to commit the same sins agin? If you continue to commit the same sins over and over again I don't believe God will forgive you, you are not truly repentant.
I used to believe in salvation by faith alone, but I can no longer believe that this is true.
As for my quotes, they are not taken from parables that I am aware of, if they were I would have tried to notate this as such.
God be with you all, Christians and non-christians.
