Less than half of U.S. Christians expect to experience eternal salvation because of their confession of sin and acceptance of Christ as their Savior, while a larger number of professing Christians believe good works will get them into Heaven

Really neither answer is right. You can't earn your way into heaven by "confession of sin and acceptance of Christ as [your] Savior" any more than you can earn your way into heaven by good works.

God has to pick you first. (In other words, Augustine was right and the semi-Pelagians were wrong.)

The study is rather suspicious to me. If you give someone a multiple-choice question and all of the answers are wrong to some extent, you can't really learn much by their attempt to pick the "least wrong" answer.

Done and done...


1 Timothy 2:3-4 kjv

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
