The only watered down side are you one step easy believism, greasy grace Baptist wannabe's. Just live and believe what you want as long as you have faith. Thats all that matters. One simple non-descript step. Just have faith. Then we can all hold hands and love each other because we believe.

That is the eunich version of salvation. The do nothing, devote nothing and make no changes whatsoever as long as you "have faith".
You really hate that Trusting God can be easy don't you? It seems rather HARD for you though? Could it be that you want credit for your own salvation? I mean, you want to point back to something YOU did? Greasy and easy are hardly the case.

Who says "do nothing, devote nothing?" The difference is, some of you do those things to pat righteousness on the back, when in reality God is singing the Shania tune "That don't impress me much." Grace freely received, is graciousness freely given. When we realize how, no matter how "pure" we think we are living, we still fall short of a heart with full belief in Jesus, we can then understand Grace. Some think Grace is an option for those who repent (read: be their own God and decide they will change their own lives -- only to realize in a week that it's not working out for them), to be given a way to live perfectly. God just wants our trust. He always has. From Adam, to Noah to Moses, to Jesus.

Compared to the work he did, yes grace for us is quite easy. That's why it's so overwhelming, and that's why my appreciation for is love runs so deep. I don't deserve, can't ever get to a point of deserving it either. But to state because those who believe fully in the Sovereign grace of God don't believe in living for Him is a lie. The motives are just different. They aren't done "to be saved," they are done out of graciousness.
