I am asking these questions because of the confusion that exists about WHAT is required for 'heaven'.

Belief in Jesus only?
Belief in Jesus, along with 'some' good works?
Belief in Jesus and living sin free.
Or....
No belief in Jesus is even required, as long as you keep His commands, and live sin free.

Once again, it would appear that everyone has an 'opinion', but Christianity as a whole cannot agree in unity.

Both Rajk999 and ThinkOfOne have been providing many Bible verses....spoken by Jesus, that contradict that verse.

Jesus wants more!!!!
His words, not mine.

Is salvation only for the "good" people like yourself?

If you want to understand what Jesus taught while He walked the Earth, try this:
--Humbly set aside what you've been "sold" in the marketing of Evangelical Christianity.
--Read the words Jesus spoke while He walked the Earth looking for underlying concepts and overarching themes

I am challenging your VERSION of Christianity.

You don't seem to like it, despite your lectures to anyone who will listen, about how this is a debate and discussion forum.

Grow up Dive!!!

When you speak of "belief in Jesus", what exactly do you have in mind?

BTW, if you haven't read my responses to you on the bottom of page 3, you really should. I'll answer any questions that you may have about them.

Paul wrote Ephesians.

I was asking you for what Jesus said on the subject.

The words of Jesus?

Exactly how does your response make any sense in light of the fact that you're responding to a post intended for whodey?

"Up against" what exactly?

Are you convinced then, that we get a "free gift" of salvation by believing in what Jesus did on the cross?

Nothing else is required?

Sure, Jesus may desire that we cut down on sinning, but is it required.....in your view?
