Only if salvation is performance-based. But it is faith-based in God as savior, not in doing or not doing the right or wrong actions. If after Ge.15 Abraham had refused to obey God, God would have found another to make a patriarch that would. In fact, Noah may have been God’s first choice, and Abraham His second. But Noah is still credited with righteousness (from before he built the ark) based on the same faith as Abraham.

So you are saying that if we have faith, we are saved even when, through our human frailty, we commit acts against God or we do not do what Jesus tells us to do in Matthew 25:31-46?
