Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." You know why that is.................1 Corinthians 1:23 "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;" One of my basically apostolic christian church of america family members told me one day that they weren't sure Dolly Parton was saved...............SHE PROBABLY IS SAFE TO SAY IT - you will know them BY THEIR FRUIT..........well dolly gives money to a great many charities..............
I'm telling you all, Dolly Parton is buisy loving in "deed and truth" 1 John 3:17-19 "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him."
John 1:11-13 "He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

Definitely agree with you on this one. Mankind has this amazing ability to invent their own rules or twisting/adding to the Bible when it comes to being saved, when all we really should do is look specifically at what the Bible says.
One of Jesus' most scathing rebukes is in Matthew 23, against the scribes and pharisees who invented their own forms of righteousness and means of salvation apart from the Bible. Makes me shake in my boots!! I don't think it pleases the Lord when we add to or take away from His Word.
this is true
