Does the golden rule save without the cross?
This needs to be answered. There is a proliferation on the forum of a crossless salvation lately.
Is the work of the cross (i.e., the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus for our justification and righteousness and remission of sins) not necessary, so long as we do to others what we would have them do to us? In other words, does salvation come by works? That is what the question is asking.
We must do to others what we would have done to us. But that does not save us. It is just what must be done AFTER salvation. It can never save. It truly is NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD.
It has been proposed on this apostolic forum that if a person never believed in Jesus dying on the cross, the same salvation the cross provides is provided so long as people do unto others what they would have done unto them. Is this true? That is essentially what the poll is asking.
