Trying to impose love into how a man gets saved doesn't work, as scripture doesn't teach it, & since man cannot love until He is saved. Love is the fruit of the Spirit. This discussion is not about the things a man should do; this discussion is about how to get saved. And that is ever only by faith on man's part.
We are not obsessing on rare verses which demand some explanation (does someone really think that women can be salvation for having a baby?);
we are focusing upon the repeated & overwhelming testimony of the Lord in His word, how salvation is offered over & over for faith/believing. The Savior must be trusted.
THE PASTORAL EPISTLES PROCLAIM SALVATION ALONE BY FAITH
1 Tim 1:15-17
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief: howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life.
[NO WORKS, NO WATER]
2 Tim 3:15b
the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
[NO WORKS, NO WATER]
Titus 1:4
to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
