So I can earn my way out of Heaven? And who gets to say whether I have earned my way out of Heaven? A Pope? A Bishop? The Bible (misinterpreted if so) ? So unless I do all that is required of me, I earn my way out of Heaven? Can you not see this is just another way of saying it is a works based salvation? It still makes my being in Heaven someday dependent on Jesus PLUS me being a good decent moral upstanding person
I grew up going to church with my Aunt, latter day saints stuff, after getting saved years later in a Bible Believing church I asked her " Do you know for certain you are going to heaven?" her reply "As long as I keep doing everything that I am doing" I would assume that would be your reply also, as long as you keep doing what you are doing and don't "un-earn" your way out of Heaven.
I am going to Heaven, no ifs, ands, or but's about it, not because I have done anything extra special on this earth to earn or keep my salvation, but because Jesus Christ has Paid in Full the price for every one of my sins. I will be singing His Praises Forever for the Great Mercies and Love He has shown to poor lost helpless sinners.
Can you imagine being in the ocean drowning after your boat has capsized and the Coast Guard coming along and pulling out a 3 page questionnaire to determine if you are worth saving? You are not saved as a Catholic, you are still filling out your resume to see if God thinks you are worth saving.
The truth is : God knows you are painfully weak and immoral, with a sin nature that is bent on wrong doing and that no matter how good you try to be, you will never be good enough to enter Heaven apart from the Righteousness of Christ being given to you. The great truth that Martin Luther discovered as a monk was " The Just Shall Live By Faith " God's Word. "Abraham believed God and was imputed unto him for Righteousness." Justification is a legal term. A sinner is given the Righteousness of Christ the moment he is saved. I am standing before the Gates of Heaven waiting to enter and I am clothed in the Righteous Robes of Christ. Will your Pope be able to accuse me dressed before God in these Perfect Robes? I think not. My good works mean nothing, The Righteousness of God provided for me is my only sure hope.
