Quote:
Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

My apologies. Single requirement. Morality does not come into it AT ALL. Hmmm.....I was hoping that its kind of like a points system, where you accumulate points for doing good onto others, and then you receive another 50% of the points at the end, for just believing. Silly me.
Nah.
The way it works is that you believe, and confess.
You are recreated spiritually, and the spirit of God comes to dwell inside of you.
You can't earn salvation. Jesus already earned it.
You just receive the inheritance.
Good works, however, do play a role, but not as a legalistic requirement; rather-- you are imparted a desire for good works, and communion with God.
You really can't help but do good.
