That's pretty elementary and I didn't need a poll to understand that one. LOL!

Yeah, but that statement isn't mine. Someone else said that, and when that person did, the point was raised that very few would agree with that.

So I decided to see. Simple as that.

I believe that forgiveness AND salvation take place at repentance/belief. But that's not the point here.

That's fine. I agree with the statement. Don't care what the polls show. I'll stick with what I read in the Bible.
