Increasing obedience SHOWS that you are saved, confirming your calling and election.
And if you are not born again, you will not go to heaven,
So, while it's true that..."present your body as a living sacrifice", is a verse that describes discipleship......it is also a verse that a heretic can use, among others to try to create the false gospel that this presenting is REQUIRED to maintain salvation, as that is the proof of their broken faith.
So, if that line is not crossed, then the person will not believe that works are required as a part of God's Blood Atonement, to keep them saved.
They will not add their works, lifestyle, or obedience to the Cross, as If God didn't offer enough to save them, when He died on the Cross.
Heretics, all of them, cross that line, into LEGALISM, as they do not believe that Jesus on the Cross, is ENOUGH to get them into heaven, and that is why they TEACH ENDLESSLY about "doing something" to try to keep themselves saved.
For example, a heretic will say..>"im holding unto this"......as MY WORK to keep myself saved.
