| 8. I'll answer your question with another question (sort of like Jesus would) |
|
Just what kind and how many good works must you do to get into heaven?
Does once helping an old lady cross the street when you were young get you your ticket? Does dedicating most of your life to helping the sick and poor, like Albert Schweitzer, get you in any quicker? Does getting a dispensation for donating to the building of St. Peter's Basilica really work?
I am a believer in Reformed Theology. Salvation is a gift and cannot be earned. Following the teachings of Christ are just a manifestation of already being saved.

I think the Fundy mindset is "I am saved, everyone else be damned." |

There does seem to be an aspect of "sincerity" to being saved, yes? |
