Salvation is based upon our fidelity, by God’s grace, to his commandments (Mt 19:16-17; 25:46; Jn 3:36; Rom 2:6-10; 1 Tm 6:18-19; Jas 1:12; 2 Tm 2:12).

You just shifted salvation from faith to salvation by works.

The burden is now upon us, from your prespective for our salvation; something not supported by the Bible.

If the burden of salvation is upon our works, then Jesus needlessly died on the cross.

Tell me NKP_Vet.....how many good works do you have to do to earn/keep your salvation? Are you keeping the entire Law? Because that's what you're back under from your perspective. You're back to offering a sacrifice in the Temple again to cover your sins.

Do you have a track record of what you've done?

How do you know you're doing the right things?

Have your "good deeds" outdone your bad deeds? If you are using this scale you might as well become muslim. Allah uses a scale to judge his followers.
