now, by all means, do the ceremony if it is important to you; but see that God judges one's heart, and that many conscientiously seeking all the jots and tittles, crying "Lord, Lord" are excluded, while many others, unaware of your ceremonies, or even actively disavowing them, are included, because their heart is just right. Ergo, they have somehow done this, "died with Christ," spiritually, without the ceremony.

So you believe in
"deathbed confessions" for salvation?
Do you believe a person can deny or reject the gospel all their lives, and repent at the
last minute and be saved? Or that a person can believe in false
doctrines until their deathbed, make a "confession of faith", and enter
into the kingdom of God?
Is that not another gospel?
I believe in a God that performs miracles: that can save a person
from an airplane crash, for example, so that
that person can believe and obey the gospel, exhibited by a righteous life.
