Every believer I know in the LC's, including all the posters here, have beliefs concerning salvation which correspond with fundamental, evangelical Christianity. It's nothing about LSM "umbrellas" or your twisting of the Greek word "pisteuo," which means "to believe, to be persuaded of, to place confidence in, to trust, to have reliance upon, and not mere credence." (Vine.) In this regard, to believe the good news is to obey the message from God to believe in Jesus' sacrifice for our sins.

Listen, brother BearBear, ex-LCers have gone all over the world with their post-LC journeys. I have watched a few of them travel into the strange places of kingdom dominionism, Pentecostal deliverance, legalism, Judaism, etc. etc. all with new found exclusive ideas to prove that, according to them, just about no one is saved, but, of course, them. And they got lots of verses to prove it.

But this is your thread, BearBear, so I s'pose you can say anything you want to. But according to your standards, the only people who can trully be saved are those hypocrites who claim to be doing everything you have said.
