Who's Really Saved?

[garyd509]

Anyone who strives honestly to obey the Ten Commandments and practice the Eight Beatitudes will be saved.

Faith, reading the Bible, attending weekly church, bible studies,repentance are all nice and most of these come up within the Commandments and Beatitudes.

I see that faith is relegated to a secondary position in your thinking. What about Hebrews 11:6. We are told that without faith we are doomed. Abraham walked before God but it was his faith that saved him.(Gen 15:6) Our works point to our faith but they are not the saving element in our relationship with God.

Wrong. That is trying to be saved through the works of the Law. We are saved by grace through faith

Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV)

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
