Interesting question. If your question deals with obedience, here are two scriptures with an answer:
1 Cor 4:18-20 - "Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will test, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power. For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. "
1 John 3:22 - "And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. "
Brother aimhigh,
Should we do the things suggested? I believe the answer is yes. Do we fail? Yes.
We are human and no matter what we do we will never meet the perfection God requires for entry into His Kingdom.
To suggest we must meet a “test” for our salvation preys on our guilt. It also tempts us to be prideful.
The beauty of Christianity is the gift of salvation is available to anyone who asks for it. Once saved you are a new being, however the transformation isn’t immediate. Unfortunately we have to carry this dead body around. We should be encouraging each other when we fail or about to fail. Not setting tripwires
I’m not calling anyone out or attempting to be disruptive. Debates like this should help us grow .
Peace.
