I have made similar statements myself. Only theologians and the religious make it complicated. I encourage new Christians to read Ephesians multiple times before turning to other books in the Bible. You must KNOW who and where you are IN CHRIST, and when and why Christ chose you, and His purpose for doing this. Armed with this revelation knowledge, you will not be sidetracked, or misled by religion, which has no place in the Body of Christ of this present age of Grace.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the great comments.
Amen!..."These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." (1 John 5:13)....knowing you have life is what enables you to do the work of God (John 6:29) "*a*n*d* that ye may believe"

Kandy Atz,we are so on the same page on this! My own definition of a cult is this...with the truth,salvation is the FIRST thing settled,with ANYTHING else it is the last....period!
God bless
