Scripture tells us “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved” and that’s good enough for me. After someone “professes with their mouth and believes in their heart” I’ll leave it to the Holy Spirit to write into their heart unless I see direct contradiction to what scripture teaches at which time we are to “exhort, rebuke or correct”.

The external examination simply smacks of legalism. The external can too easily be faked and then self glory expecting salvation on one’s own merit.

So God's Word mercifully applied is legalism? I come boldly to the throne of grace, and thank the Lord for having mercy on me a sinner saved by grace. NEVER, EVER, will I defend my right to sin, which put Christ on the cross before the foundation of the world.

Yep, pretty much. I pour what’s in the box into a bowl make it wet and we are good to go! It’s just like my approach to salvation. I know that Christ does it all. He called me, He instilled His faith in me, and He gave me the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to be my conscience and guide. I can boast of nothing other than the grace and working of God! Praise His holy name!

What the heck does cake baking have to do with salvation.

Thankfully, God made salvation much easier than cake baking, cause I can't bake a decent cake to save my life.
