I've never understood why some people are willing to leave Jesus 'hanging on a cross', when it comes to the gospel.
You all need to listen to Apprehended and Bro Blume!

If there are such here, they in no wise can call themselves Apostolic. None of the Apostles preached a "cross alone" message.
They all preached believing, forsaking sin, and become identified with Jesus in the Death, Burial and Resurrection through obedience. This is true Apostolic doctrine.
If "cross alone" was truth then my neighbors Guido, Luigi, Pasquale and Rosa would be saved. They are not. Rosa especially is meaner than a nest of rattlesnakes. Cross alone has not worked for them. The cross did it's work in my life but I found that I had to become obedient to the gospel message preached to me.
No wonder Jesus said "Strait is the gate and narrow is the way and few there be that find it." The "cross alone" gospel is a wide gate and a broad way by which there is no demand for obedience or that of forsaking sin and/or keeping God's commandments. It is the way of death and destruction.
"If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the sinner and the ungodly appear?"
