Protestants who advocate for doing the bare minimum, are wrong. And I'd honestly question their salvation at that point.
Jesus and Paul were both consistently clear on this: faith without works is dead. Jesus framed it as "good fruit comes from good trees, and bad fruit comes from bad trees."
I am deeply compelled to do good works - almost like an itch that won't quit. Can I ignore it? Sure, but the itch will continue to nag at me until I scratch it.
Heaven forbid I ignore an itch long enough that I stop itching...
@EcciusMaximus Martin Luther "fractured" Christianity the same way God fractured humanity at the Tower of Babel.
The Gospel is meant for everyone - not just the Catholic Church.
@Xtopher_Uzo Stop lying and saying that the Protestants don't think works are required. They certainly are.
They're just not required for salvation.
They are evidence of salvation that has already been recieved.
Donβt fall for this. Dishonest Evangelicals will always try to pass off SYNONYMS (broad and overlapping) as a substitute for actual DEFINITIONS (specific)βhoping you wonβt notice. π€£ π§΅
