Oeople has to be intelligent enough not to get trapped with the idea of the salvation by grace alo e statement .yes we are all sinners yes christ is the only mean to salvation of men but why in the world would some o e believe in some scriptures isoleted and dismiss the rest of the gospel suchas those wheo say co fess the name of tjlhe lord a d you are saved on the spot (regardless of the process of repentance), nonsense stuff we need to observe the process the lord stablished and that include observa ce of the commandments. And the process of repentance as a base for the rest not the pther way around i am sick of those looking to buy cheap salvation. The only gospel if any that makes total sence of what God requires us to do to be saved is the o e that the lds has i have seen other manners but are non sense .now the degrees of glory go along with the way God will j udge his children i totoally refjte the idea of beleieve and be saved. And disbelieve and go to hell. Not what God i tends to do at all we all will be qualified of dismissed from his presence accordi g to our dees thats what he will base his judment on besides other thi gs such as knowlede of him and other factors. . remem er we are not working our salvation Gods grace applies to al mand kind no matter of his religion affiliation but ecaltation is a conditional thi g we must obey the commandments and ordinances stablished by him . no. Othter way. We can not tell God wow we want to be saved he does we just abide by his laws. Dont get. Deceived.

We are not saved by works yet even so our works are the way that we show our love for our Lord and our fellow man. We are commanded to be perfect (Matt 5:48) (3 Nephi 12:48) yet perfection is not possible for us mortals. It seems as if for us perfection is a process instead of a place yet the commandment does still remain in force.

“Faith without works is dead” implies that we should have works. What then are works? Simply that anything we do because Christ told us to so do is a work. Prayer is a work. Visiting the afflicted is a work as is visiting those shut away in jail or prison. Feeding the poor is another. Love thy neighbor as you love yourself (what does that mean?) is a direct commandant. Note that these are instructions to us as individuals. We cannot farm the obligation out to someone else.

Does someone who has devoted his/her whole life to Christ get the same rewards as one who has done nothing except plea for mercy? Does L Tom Perry get the same set of choices that a felon would get? Does H Gray Russell end up in the same place as a rapist? (H Gray Russell served a mission for his church, The Protestant Disciples of Christ, in the old Belgian Congo from 1924 till 1955). That’s the orange. People who obey the commandments are people who want to return to his presence. People who do not are people who might not be comfortable there. In this sense a deathbed confession is a person saved by Christ who does not much want to live by the truths Christ taught and might not be comfortable in his presence.
