Well the manipulated version of Christianity we have now is "just accept Jesus and you are saved", you don't actually have to do anything really to get into "heaven". If you don't you are tortured in hell for eternity. It doesn't look good to outside observers, more like a cult really
If its really free then it doesn't mean anything and nobody cares. its just some words you say to get in the club. Read the actual teachings of Jesus in the 4 gospels and pay attention to the red letters to figure out what Jesus actually said. Pretty obvious right? yet most Christians just go to church and listen to the guy who literally has a vested monetary interest in telling you what you want to hear.
2nd Timothy 4:3 — The New King James Version (NKJV)
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
Jesus said:
Matthew 7 NKJV
13“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14[c]Because narrow is the gate and [d]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
LOL you just proved my point. You believe in fairy tales and wish torture on people who don't believe them. Just like the people on the left you claim to be against.
Save by grace and the only thing you have to do is believe unto salvation. That's it believe = confidence and trust in information received to the end that it's acted upon. Also implies the source is trustworthy.
So no, a person's works come after in response to love, not as a condition to receive salvation.

Free salvation paid for by Christ doesn't "look good to outsiders"? What a bunch of ungrateful bastards. I guess they deserve to go to hell.
