There are a few posters here who do not think it is necessary but Jesus said those who bear fruit hold it fast in an honest and good heart. What I am speaking of is the word. The word of God is what makes an honest and good heart. Those who cast it aside are non believers who will not be saved.
Can I get an Amen?
Luke 8:
When a great crowd gathered and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable:
5 "A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell on the path and was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up.
6 Some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered for lack of moisture.
7 Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8 Some fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundredfold." As he said this, he called out, "Let anyone with ears to hear listen!"
9 Then his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
10 He said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to others I speak in parables, so that "looking they may not perceive, and listening they may not understand.'
11 "Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 The ones on the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
13 The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe only for a while and in a time of testing fall away.
14 As for what fell among the thorns, these are the ones who hear; but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 But as for that in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
16 "No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.

"How can you be saved when you seek the praise of men but do not seek the glory of the only God."
"Whoever speaks on his own seeks his own glory but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is truthful and there is no unrighteousness in him."

Nope.
You've decided non-Christians can't have a good and honest heart and that's just ridiculous.

The idea that Jesus was all about talk is so absolutely ridiculous that it deserves no further attention. Time to place Peacegiver on ignore . He is a different type of mindless robot fundie, but a mindless robot nonetheless.

Who do you think you are?
You have no right to tell anyone what they have or do not have in their heart.
You are NOT God, you are NOT Jesus and you have no idea what anyone has that only God knows.
You should be ashamed of the words you have written.
