Ignoring Ephesians 2:10 claiming only Ephesians 2:8 is like those who claim John 3:16 and ignore John 3:19. Context and clarity are often just a few verses away - there is no 'one verse theology. Likewise Galatians 5:19-24 contrasting in the same breath condemnation and righteousness.
Two salvations? Gnosticism deceives into thinking we can get away with things in this life by using money or power or knowledge or manipulating and using others - such as immigrants, the poor, the children, the material and worldly God's of popularity and fame and prestige. Solomon affirmed the concept that the rich could buy salvation but both he and his father were clear they could lose the people, lose the nation in so doing. Each generation of falseness see the coming demise - even the demons see and tremble.
I encourage you - put away the fishing pole and become a Fisher of men

that's good stuff there. the simplicity of this particular your saved regardless of how you live, is just " surely the forbidden fruit wont Kill you" its obviously the same exact false doctrine that was the original deception that caused mans death. even the health and wealth false doctrines, surely greed wont kill you, surely store up wealth , it means your blessed." all false doctrine is rooted and purposed to get someone who believes, to believe against what God has said clearly.
in the Garden, God said "when you eat this fruit, you will surely die."
paul reflects that with " of this you can be sure, no immoral, impure or greedy man - an I dolater- has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God." this is Gods word reflected from eden to paul. and truly in every book in the bible its the same theme. Gods grace isn't a new thing, adam already knew Gods goodness and grace, he just chose to disobey what God had said, BECAUSE He was offered a deception. the deceoption "surely it wont kill you, it will make you like God"
a chriatian who sees the real Gospel and begins following and escaping from death hears " surely sin wont Kill you, finished work nothing you can do can harm your salvation" yet it is repeatedly taught to exhaustion through o.t. Jesus, and nt, that to live and act in the things described by paul and every other gospel writer as sin or the flesh or sinful nature will result in your death, and to live and act in the things taught that are righteousness or the spirit, those things will bring a harvest of eternal life, if you persevere in them.
the enemy is a simple one, he uses the only thing that is death " going against what Gods word has said is death." it will always be sin is death until sin and death are hrown into the lake of fire. sin is looking for servants as well and its servants will spend eternity with it, just as Jesus servants will spend eternity with Him. Gods word is not complex, its simplicity requires faith in what is written, rather than seeking ways to make it say what man wants it to say
