I apologize mvw... for some reason I was not notified of your response and have failed to visit the forum for the last few days.

The Bible says (and I agree with it) in order for a person to be saved that we must hear the Word of God, believe, repent, confess Jesus is the Son of God, be baptized into Christ and live faithfully unto death. I would not want to be the one to tell someone they should add to or take away from what God has commanded to be saved.

I made reference to Saul and the example of how he tried to add to what God commanded of him. It is indeed of the Old Testament.

Keep in mind that: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
