Don't you guys think being "saved" involves much more than just proclaiming Christ as your Savior? Can a guy just raise his hands and shout Hallelujah, then go on molesting little children or selling drugs. and get to heaven because he proclaimed Christ his Savior? James 2:19 says, "Thou believest there is one God; thou doest well; the devils also believe, and tremble." This basically means that believing in Christ, or knowing Him is not enough, because the devils also know Him and what He can do. Also James 2:26 says, "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." Is only faith enough? I don't think so. I think the person who is truly saved is the one that not only believes in Christ, but does ABSOLUTELY ALL THAT HE CAN to live like Him and personify His great teachings.

Sorry, this may be a bit off the subject....
