We have to Be perfect in order to make heaven

[Revelationist]

Grace... when you've tired to live the best you can for God... and still fail.... thank God for Grace. Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.KJV
Does it mean we don't try?
James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?KJV

"Imputation doctrine," "Reform doctrine," "osas." What's wrong with just seeing what the bible says instead of figuring out what pigeon-hole someone's idea fits into when it differs from our own? There's so much organizational-mindedness that people do not think to see what the bible says but what their doctrinal contrivances propose and how they have to stick to them no matter the cost.

Exactly right! Our "concepts" should agree with what Jesus and the Apostles SAID.

Unless, well, you really do fail. Matthew 7:22-23.
