op is an idiot. > if you have to do something to be saved, then you might as well just be a jew or a muslim incorrect. jews and muslims cannot do enough to even qualify for eternal forgiveness for even the most minor of their sins. their 'clothing' is spotted from even the most mundane sin and thus they are not allowed into heaven without the eternal, divine blood of the lamb washing them completely clean. but like all miracles, the miracle of forgiveness is manifested through faith -- not belief. the faith that caused men to go to christ rather than sit at home saying "gee, i sure do wish my eyesight was restored by god." going to christ was the act of faith, without which, christ could grant no miracle nor relief. faith is the action form of belief. it's not faith if you're not following commandments, going to church, repenting, taking care of the poor, needy sick, trying to love your fellowman, etc.
