This is something that anyone can learn to look for in their reading, and thus gather a greater understanding. YMMV!

I've come to realize a few things about this subject you seem so enamored of from a man who has quite a history of cultic and false teachings. First, you and your fellows are like the ones Peter said who took Paul's epistles (which Peter called Scripture) and then twisted them because they were unlearned and unstable like they do the other Scriptures.

Second, if obedience to the law of the Lord, which He writes upon our hearts as we come to Him in faith (of which His GRACE has gifted salvation to all who believe - Jew or Gentile), then I can say I already DO live in obedience to the commandments of Jesus through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. So, I should be good to go, right? But something tells me there is an exception you will make next. I suspect that it isn't good enough to live obedient lives in love for God and others, is it?

What will come next is all the OTHER things our enduring-until-the-end faith must do, right? Things like keeping the feast days, keeping Kosher(?), keeping a Saturday Sabbath instead of worship on Sunday, changing beliefs about the Deity of Jesus (maybe even stop using the name "Jesus"?), dropping certain tenets of the Christian faith even those that have been held universally for thousands of years, maybe even quit using the words "Christ", "Christian", "church" and I'm sure any other number of things Michael John Rood teaches that are necessary parts of real saving "faith". How about it, did I get all that correct? Did I leave anything out?

I am not sure, but if this doesn't describe the great falling away, I don't know what would.
