Dean, thank you for your comment but I have no peril to my Soul. I will continue to communicate with my Lord as I do no matter what anyone else says. Please take care of your own Soul and leave mine to me. Blessed Easter to you and yours.
The fate of your soul is not up to you. The fate of you soul is up to God. You are either saved, or you are not, and there is nothing you can DO to determine its fate.
If you think that there is something YOU can DO to detemine your fate, then Christ died in vain. He did for us what we cannot do ourselves, because we are all born in sin, and the only sinless person who ever lived was Jesus, God the Son, who died as a sacrificial atonement for our sins. We can do things to affect our fate while on this earth, but our eternal destiny is in the hands of God, and God only.
Based on what Lori posted, it would appear that she believes she is actually in control over her own destiny and can be saved by works. The apostle Paul, among others, is very clear on that: "For by GRACE are you saved THROUGH FAITH, and NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast."
Your theology rejects huge swaths of the Bible including Romans 10:9 and 10 which is perilous to the soul who ignores them.
Yes,, humans MUST live in fear of broiling in hellfire for eternity... most "religions" run the same SCAM... brings in a ton of loot...
You don't seem to be much different from the Aztecs, to me.

We will respectfully agree to disagree. Blessed Easter to you John and your family.

The entirety of Scripture, even in the Renewed Covenant , it is both.
“Hear and obey”
“Faith withOUT works is dead”
And pretty much the entire rest of God's Word also says that works without faith is dead.
