And just how do you know this?

Where are you getting these false beliefs?

True.

Over 150,000 people die each day.
If they valued their lives, you’d think they’d at least do some homework to find The Truth.

False Religion sends more people to hell than probably anything else.

Exactly right.

Jesus never told anyone they were saved through His blood and that they were free to go on sinning by their choices.

Repentance plays a key role in Salvation and involves recognizing that you have thought wrongly in the past and determining to think rightly in the future. The repentant person has “second thoughts” about the mindset he formerly embraced. There is a change of disposition and a new way of thinking about God, about sin, about holiness, and about doing God’s will. True repentance is prompted by “godly sorrow,” and it “leads to salvation” (2 Corinthians 7:10).

What, then, is the connection between repentance and Salvation? The book of Acts especially focuses on repentance in regard to Salvation (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 11:18; 17:30; 20:21; 26:20). To repent, in relation to Salvation, is to change your mind regarding sin and Jesus Christ.

In Peter’s sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts chapter 2), he concludes with a call for the people to repent (Acts 2:38). Repent from what? Peter is calling the people who rejected Jesus (Acts 2:36) to change their minds about that sin and to change their minds about Christ Himself, recognizing that He is indeed “Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36). Peter is calling the people to change their minds, to abhor their past rejection of Christ, and to embrace faith in Him as both Messiah and Savior.

This notion that Salvation is "free" is incorrect. Jesus paid a heavy price for our Salvation. Calling Salvation a "free gift" diminishes Christ's sacrifice.
