1John 3
18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Jesus told us what we must do to be saved, did he tell us to follow the Catholic teachings or the Mormon teachings, Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist J.W? no he did not.

John 3:15
He said that those who believe in me shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 14:15
15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.

What was his commandments?

I do not think the commandments Jesus gave us had any thing to do with Church religious rituals, they were how we live our every day life, mostly in regards to our fellow human beings, our neighbors.

All of the emphasis seems to be on the Church and nothing more, did Jesus send the apostles out to preach Church? no, he sent them out to preach his gospel.

But most of what you hear in Church about being saved has more to do with ritual than what Jesus told us to do and not do.

How long has it been since any one has heard the Gospel that Jesus actually preached?

Normally what you hear is a half dozen words of Jesus ( if he is quoted at all ) and then a sermon about those words that last for thirty minutes or an hour that mostly has nothing to do with what Jesus actually said.

Or you might hear about Paul for an hour, but what about Jesus?

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
