Paul: Only faith, works of righteousness not necessary for salvation

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Eph 2:8-9)

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.(Rom 10:9-10)

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us (Tit 3:5)

Jesus: Only those who do the will God will be saved

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but (only) he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Mat 7:21)

According to Jesus, it’s NOT about just believing something in your heart that gets one into the kingdom of heaven, like Paul preached. It’s about doing God’s will; it’s about doing works of righteousness; it’s about living a righteously and it’s about the process of perfection, that gets one into the kingdom of heaven.

Many or Few, Countable Words: Periods with an End — Not Eternal
Luke 12:47-48 speaks of the Lord punishing his servants at his return for them with “Many” or “Few” stripes. These words are countable, for example: Many could mean 100 and few could mean 10.

Whether you interpret the punishment as Hell or not, or whether you interpret servants to be believers or not, is beside the point. The point is that the “stripes” or punishment is countable which means that there is an end to the punishment — whatever punishment that is.

Punishment of Lord’s Servant Has an End — NOT Eternal

Christians believe there is an actual place called Hell and that’s where only unbelievers go — for eternity! However, Believers also may go to the same place as unbelievers, according to Jesus. The following verse is an example of just that:

The lord of that servant (a believer) will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. (Lk 12:46)
