[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PPs, I was raised atheist and honestly had no idea this was the way it worked.  I was just quizzing DH, who was raised Christian and he went on about how there is a variety of beliefs: salvation by faith, grace, and then pre-destination.

Can you tell me what "belief" requires?  Do I have to just "think" that maybe I can get there at some point, or like, really, truly believe it, as if it were fact? Is this like a Locke definition, or do religions have differing definitions for what constitutes belief?[/quote]

20:56 here again.

We can parse this all day but the bottom line is, God will judge in the end. We, as Christians, follow Christ. The more we follow Him, the more we want to follow Him because it is truly a life-changing experience in THIS life, not just beyond. Jesus also said very plainly, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man gets to the Father except through me." So yes, I believe that Jesus is the only way to God. But I also know that I follow Him on earth because I choose to live that way NOW.[/quote]
