    Can sincerity save a person?

    Many church goers fully believe and support their church.
    They believe strongly that the faith they are in, will bring
    them eternal life.

    Many people do many things in Jesus' name. Can that in itself
    save a person?

    Jesus answers that question at Mt 7:21-23,

    21. "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the
    kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
    22. "Many will say to Me in that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not
    prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many
    wonders in Your name?'
    23. "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from
    Me, you who practice lawlessness!' (NKJV)

    So can being sincere and using Jesus' name in most situations make God
    accept that person? Jesus clearly answered that right above. "depart
    from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' (NKJV; Mt 7:21)"

    So what gets a person saved? Doing "the will of My Father in Heaven."
    (Mt 7:21)

    So just do that once, and you are saved? Jesus answers:

    -- New King James
    Matthew 24:13 "But he who endures to the end shall be saved."

    Thus being a real Christian means, continuing doing God's will and
    enduring to the end.

    This explains why you parrot Watchtower doctrine that contradicts the
    Bible, and can't defend your views from any reasonable exegesis of
    Scripture.

    Jesus is God: christrose.news/Jesus-God.

    The only true gospel that has power to save is that Christ died for our
    sins and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9).
    Every perverted gospel is false and drives souls to conscious, eternal
    torment in the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:18;
    Revelation 14:11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:11-15). If you deny
    that Jesus is God, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

    Our debt to God was nailed to the cross where Christ died for our sins (Colossians 2:14), and God demonstrated this fact by raising Him from
    the grave (Romans 1:4). Now, God remains perfectly just while forgiving
    those who put their faith in Jesus (Romans 3:26) and sparing them from
    future wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). It is a free gift for everyone who believes (Romans 6:23). Trust in the Lord and call on His name to
    receive salvation (Romans 10:9-13):
