I get this, but what does the picture mean?
That the faggot couldnt stop slobbering on his own knob, and Jesus smote him for it?
Thinking you need to be a goid boi gets you damned
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
>in b4 Father's will is do works
John 6
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

I don't want to go all 'no true Scotsman', but any Christian who reads and studies his Bible and goes to church to listen to the teachings ought to know this. It's one of the things that separates the Christian faith from the myriad of other wannabe religions.

Matthew 7:21

Ignoring those verses via sophistry doesn't make them go away. The idea that good deeds create salvation is heresy. The idea that intellectual assent alone, that is to say that merely believing all the right doctrines will save you, is also heresy. The idea that both together will save you is heresy.
Then what leads to salvation?
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is this, repent of your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. The word "repent" is a bit of a misnomer however, because the word isn't a very good translation, it implies heavy remorse and an emotional reaction, whereas the greek Metanoia does not. The word would better be translated "Be converted", but even that leaves one thinking of just joining a religious order.
The word Metanoia means "A fundamental shift in thinking, that leads to a fundamental shift in behavior." Or as Jesus Himself put if "Ye must be born again."
In short you must acknowledge your sins and failings, and declare your intention to remove them, and believe the basic doctrines of Christianity. Your success in removing them doesn't matter, there is no tally keeping track of good deeds vs bad deeds, what matters is the sincere desire to be reformed.
Salvation is a process, beginning with that first moment where one decides to believe the gospel and turn [in one's mind, if not entirely in one's actions yet] from sin, and ending with resurrection.
Some of the wiser protestants have a watered down version of this idea they call "Saving Faith" to distinguish it from mere belief. The point is that if "By faith alone" is taken to mean "Just believe these ideas intellectually and you'll be fine, continue living as you were" then that idea is heresy.
Other Christians make the argument that "If you truly believed, you would not act this way". Again, they are not wrong, but its still watered down compared to the full explanation of the Greek, which links the word Metanoia to all those things about being "born again" and "becoming like little children."
>repent of your sins
nope. You will burn, that's works.
