Oh good grief...
Yet again...obedience never merited salvation...faith and belief compels obedience...
One doesn't marry publicly in order to fall in love...one marries publicly because one wishes to affirm declare testify to vow that love already felt...
One doesn't baptize in order he might by saved...but because he believes he already is
Study the altar fire in the OT temple...it is fire FROM heaven...NOT man...and is to be tended...not to go out...
https://www.gotquestions.org/altar-fire.html
Our salvation is EXACTLY like this fire...it comes from above...it warms us, gives us light to see our life our work each other and ourselves better, and well we are merely to tend it...so as it would never go out...ya dig?
Even those circumcised were lost...it merited NOTHING
It was done TO the individual...and if infants without consent...how could it merit salvation?
Faith without works...is DEAD
You don't clean the kitchen to make it yours...you clean it because it already is...and more than likely the mess is yours too...
Most apt analogy...think about it next time you clean it...and notice too you can't clean with dirty rags...
Keep that candle burnin' sis...
No. We have to do what Jesus says to do to get IN him, to ENTER him!
