“We are judged and our eternal destiny is determined in accordance with our works.”
You believe that at your own peril because that’s not what Scripture says.
Scripture says, “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” (Romans 3:20)
And Romans 3:28 says, “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.”

Wrong! How many "works" are sufficient in order to gain entry? How would you ever know if you've done enough. It's not a points based system. You can receive rewards in heaven for your works AFTER you're saved, but it's not what saves you. You're saying it's up to us to save ourselves by our own actions.
