[QUOTE="ufonium2, post: 1621332, member: 16974"] I still believe you need to tolerate other interpretations and understand that your personal beliefs are not shared by the vast majority of Christians. A good book about the Orhtodox Christian understanding of salvation is "Are You Saved? The Orthodox Christian Process of Salvation" by Barbara Pappas. A good article on the Catholic understanding of salvation can be found here: [url]http://www.catholic.com/library/Assurance_of_Salvation.asp[/url] A nice summation of the belief can be found at the end of the article: Q: "Are you Saved?" A: "As the Bible says, I am already saved (Rom. 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8), I’m also being saved (1 Cor. 1:8, 2 Cor. 2:15, Phil. 2:12), and I have the hope that I will be saved (Rom. 5:9–10, 1 Cor. 3:12–15). Like the apostle Paul I am working out my salvation in fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12), with hopeful confidence in the promises of Christ (Rom. 5:2, 2 Tim. 2:11–13)." The Roman Catholic Church is by far the biggest branch of Christianity, with like a billion members. Orthodox Christians number upwards of 300 million worldwide. That's a lot of Christians who are "wrong" by your standards. [/QUOTE]
