Jesus is all we need for a sure salvation....... HE is the way, the truth, the life...... No man comes to the Father but through HIM. (John 14:6)

..and that says it ALL.

The publican didn't have to do anything but confess to God and repent. No baptism, no communion, no confirmation, no membership in a church. Just throwing himself on the mercy of God and he went away justified.

Luke 18:9-14 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.'

But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."
