[Texas Deer Hunter]

Whatever, you're trying to make it more complicated than it needs to be. Just faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is enough.

Even the thief on the cross was saved for eternity for just believing, even at the last minute.

Just faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is enough.

Oh really?

Is the gay bishop going to heaven because of his faith or to hell because of his acts?

>>Just faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is enough.

Really? Gee, then all the other verses that Jesus spoke about eternal life are meaningless.

Faith is the *beginning* of salvation. Like the thief on the cross, his beginning of salvation was at the end of his life -- hence it was also his end. However, for you and I, we have past that beginning and much more is expected other then to have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He explictly told us so in numerous scripture verses.

And, "the way" would not accept your statement -- they knew there was more to it -- like the Eucharist, which the celebrated, for example.
