1 John 2:3 - by this we know that we have come to know Him, (demonstrative evidence) if we “keep” (Greek word “tereo” - guard, observe, watch over) His commandments.
4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not “keep” (guard, observe, watch over) His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Do you believe that “keep his commandments“ means sinless, perfect obedience to His commandments 100% of the time and if so, do you believe that you live a sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived?)

Of course. But some believe that belief in itself is a work. So those who call for belief is labeled a liberalist. Kinda extreme.
Discernment is always key to rather something should be hashed out.
But hey the church is great at division and probably shouldn't expect that to change. We are still flesh and will fight over almost anything. I suppose God will sort out the theological differences later.

Love fulfills the whole law (Romans 13:8-10).
Do you believe this?
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do (John 14:12).
Now:
Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto you (John 5:14).

The fact that you feel the need to ask this questions show you don't believe what the scriptures plainly state.
If you don't believe the scriptures, how will believe one who follows the scriptures?
Remove the leaven out of your scripture understanding and you'll find the answer my friend.

True but vague. Secularist converts usually dont care about any of the doctrines related to Christianity.
It is more of doctrines from the anti God philosophers, scientists, or simply rebellion as self becomes more important. This is what is converting our children. The indoctrination within our public education.
