Evangelicals believe confessing you realize you are a sinner and accepting Jesus as 'Lord and Savior' is all you have to do to 'enter into heaven'.

In fact they make a VERY BIG DEAL emphasizing that what you do, how you live your life will NOT save you.

The only 'vetting' god does--they claim--is check whether you accepted Jesus as savior.

In other words, you could lead an absolutely perfect life, care for others, never break any law---and NEVERTHELESS not get into heaven.

'...whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.' John 3:16

I so wish these people would remember their core beliefs!!!
