John 3:3-5
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Acts 2:37-38
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

Notice there was something they had to do!!

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


So we have #1 Obedient Faith #2 Repentance #3 Water Baptism in Jesus Name #4 Receiving the Holy Spirit

Luke 6:46
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Acts 5:32
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Hebrews 5:9
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

We see that obedience is a clear requirement. That is "Obedient Faith" not merely mental assent to a set of beliefs. No "sinners prayer" or "accepting Jesus" It is the obedience to the Gospel or flaming fire!

2 Thessalonians 1:8
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:


That is to believe that Jesus is god Manifested in the Flesh, not some "other' Jesus.

John 10:1
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

There it is in a nutshell.

Cool, thanks.

So, I don't have to believe the universe is just 6,000 years old? That's a relief!

What about all that oneness/trinny stuff? What about "believe that I am he"? You sure this is a complete list? :winkgrin
