Feedm,
The command which you must obey for eternal salvation is "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved." Over and over again, it is reiterated that all a man must do to be saved is to believe in or trust the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, not of works lest anyone should boast."
And note that he is the author or cause of salvation, not we ourselves. And also the salvation is eternal salvation! not temporary.
Feedm goes on:
"You want this person your responding to NOT believe he MUST obey God? Then you will be happy he believes like you? "
No one, not you or I, will ever be saved by keeping the commandments of God, except that we are commanded to trust Him. We all fail in many ways. Romans 7 says that when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
Good works must follow and the the result of faith in Christ, but they do not save. The path to "Hell" is thinking you are righteous and going to get into Heaven by good works. That is Phariseeism vs "God be merciful to me a sinner."
Feedm continues: "How many people does that bring right to hell?"
If a man believes in the Lord Jesus, how could he go to hell?
"God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." So how can a man who believes in Him perish in Hell? It is impossible, as God has promised Him everlasting life.
Feedm continues: "And if you truly believed if we disobey (live a life of sin) you would be preaching that we better obey God or we were never saved to beging with. is that you message?"
Indeed if a man has a life of gross sin, he should ask himself if He ever trusted Christ as Savior. But salvation is by grace through faith, apart from works.
Feedm claims: "I really pray you see this, because if your right and I am wrong, i will still go to heaven because I believe, and try to abstain from sin."
"BUT, If I am right and you are wrong, then you will know for eternity. Because false doctrine is disobedient, and the Bible is clear where false teachers are going. "
If so, you had best fear; repent of works-salvation; trust the crucified One to save you. Trying to abstain from sin doesn't save anyone. And you will not abstain from sin.
" You better take what you do seriously EG this is not a game of who can appear to be right. This involves peoples souls man."
Now that is true; it is not a game. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved."
[/SIZE]Romans:
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith: but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling; even as it is written,
Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence:
And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
10:1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down 7 or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
