Many so-called Christians have no Idea nor understanding what is the character and nature of salvation so they criticize those who hold to the true Gospel.
How can the true Gospel blaspheme God....ruin lives....and lead people to hell.
To be honest Calvin and the Reformists understood the nature of salvation where in contrasts, today's Christendom teaches that all one has to do is, "believe and accept Jesus Christ" or "have faith in Jesus" to become saved.
That is not my religion and there are plenty of Protestants that do not believe that.
And if we have faith why do we need to exercise it?
Ya I get the point is like sign up for it and forget it. Why be good and why do good....it is a twisted belief and a corruption of the Gospel of Christ.
Galatians 2:16
"
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law,
but by the faith [OF] Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith [OF] Christ, and not by the works of the law: FOR by the works of the law shall no flash be justified."
James 2:26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Matthew31-46
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides
his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I
was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed
You, or thirsty and give
You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take
You in, or naked and clothe
You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did
it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did
it to Me.’
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do
it to one of the least of these, you did not do
it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2nd Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things
done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Romans 2:6
He will judge everyone according to what they have done.
Revelation 20:11-15
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before
God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is
the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Ecclesiastes 12:14
For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.
