And when you learn that it is the agape love of God you should have been preaching instead of the belief in a wrathful, vengeful War God, the weeping and gnashing of teeth will seem mild in comparison to what you will feel, IMO.
I am not concerned for my own soul while I am concerned for yours.
I have received salvation through faith in Jesus' precious shed blood on the Cross of Calvary.
And unless you do the same, you will surely be damned.

But all your faith is in the scriptures that you don't even try to make sure ARE scriptures. My faith is in Jesus and His Holy Spirit of agape love. I like my chances!

Your chances are not very good at all.
Taking bits and pieces of a revelation and then forming a religion out of them is not the intended understanding of those who gave the revelation.

It is no mistake, for me.
I know that I know that I know that I'm saved (see Romans 8:16, 1 John 5:13).

The ONLY bits and pieces I take are those FROM the Word of God Himself, Jesus Christ, who IS the Truth and unambiguously provided the revelation of God's Holy Spirit of agape love. You indiscriminately use what you call revelation but do not test the spirit of ANY of it against the Holy Spirit revealed by Jesus. How is that using revelation????

Fortunately, that part you got right because Jesus did all the saving, but saved for WHAT??? That is what you should be concerned about. Any part of you that is NOT compatible with the Holy Spirit of Jesus will need to be repented of and refined out of your character. I doubt that part will be pleasant.

I do not need to test the holy scriptures against your standard because the authors of today's holy scripture were tested by the early church; and found to be true apostles (Revelation 2:2).

That apparently is the case for all of us (Hebrews 12:5-11).
It’s so easy to throw insults out isn’t it .... heathen, barbarian
To be an insult it has to be directed at a person! Taking offense at the use of accurate adjectives is game-playing for sympathy or sanction.
