Seems there exists an unresolved topic amongst Christians... Seems as though the way to salvation is not unified among the many in which I engage. I'd wager they all have a case to support their position(s).?.?
For debate: How does one get to Heaven? What is God's criteria for His selection process? Is it by grace alone, belief/faith alone, works alone; or it is a combination of the three? Or is it maybe other? Please, not only present your case, but please also explain why the other asserted methods are incorrect.
Grace (and/or) Belief/Faith (and/or) Works?

Grace (and/or) Belief/Faith (and/or) Works?
Post #1In case anyone is wondering... The avatar quote states the following:
"I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness."

Re: Grace (and/or) Belief/Faith (and/or) Works?
Post #684I already answered here. God is the purveyor of confusion. The answer should be simple, and all you earnest followers do not agree. (i.e.):
How does one get to Heaven? What is God's criteria for His selection process?
Answer key:
A) All go because of his grace
B) Faith/belief
C) Works
D) Both B) and C)
E) No one goes, no one is worthy
F) Other, which does not already include the topics of B) and/or C)

Post #689If people don't agree, it does not mean that the message is not clear. I think Bible is very clear. The problem is that some people just don't want to accept what it says.
