I know I will inevitably have people respond with stuff like this, which is why I explicitly stated I am not going to have back and forth debates on here, that is not my goal. My goal is to document, learn, grow in knowledge, and educate others on what I learn.
However, since I feel like I must — eternal salvation is only one type of salvation discussed in scripture. Every verse deserves its own exegetical analysis. There are plenty of other verses where it is talking about physical salvation from physical death in this life for example.
In a general sense, scripture cannot contradict itself. Whoever put together this chart to say we must do all of those things to be eternally saved/born again is absolutely clueless beyond comprehension. It is so clearly in contradiction to Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 4:5, and all of John’s gospel and Jesus’ teachings. Passages should be interpreted in context with the fact in mind that scripture does not and cannot contradict itself. So whoever finds their view being in contradiction from crystal clear passages, their interpretation is incorrect and must be consistent.
