You said, Salvation is 100 Percent Free, But Eternal Rewards
{incorruptible crown/reigning With HIM!} are 100 percent Earned!
my response.
Well, Salvation as regards Justification is totally free. But, we are justified in order to have eternal life which is the end result of our justification. . Scripture tells us clearly that Salvation is via Justification and Sanctification. Can you say you are truly saved if you do not obtain , in your own words, that incorruptible crown or reign with Him? Where this end result is not obtained, we have failed, not because the Sacrifice of Christ Jesus is of no effect or we made void his sacrifice by not obtaining, No. We did not obtain because we failed to go by the Principles and examples he declared to us. We failed just like Adam and Eve failed in the garden of Eden.
you said
EACH of us will Only give account of him/herSELF To CHRIST, At The BEMA
Judgment Seat Of CHRIST, In Heaven! (1 Corinthians 3:7-15), Correct?
I respond
We will give account of the life we lived here on earth. And, our deeds are judged daily as we do them..

God's Will, Today, Under HIS PURE GRACE? Very Simply showing
THREE Tenses Of HIS ETERNAL Salvation:
"...God Which raiseth the dead: Who Delivered us from so great a death, and
Doth Deliver: in Whom we trust that HE Will Yet Deliver us;" (2 Corinthians 1:9c-10)
Past Tense:
(1) God Establishes HIS Eternal Relationship With those who humbly:
believe, 100% trust, place Total faith, In The LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS
Death {Precious BLOOD}, Burial, And HIS Resurrection, According To The
Scriptures! (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; cp Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3-5 KJB!)
"GRACE Through faith" In The Merits Of HIS
Precious And ALL-Sufficient BLOOD Results:
All sins Forgiven, HIS Eternal Life, And, Peace With God!

Justification And Spiritual Sanctification {"Set Apart" By God!},
First, And, THEN:
Present Tense:
(2) The believer SHOULD do "good works" {Which will NEVER
EQUAL CHRIST's TOTAL PAYMENT For the above PENALTY of sin!},
for Which we Are Created In CHRIST JESUS, to perform for HIM,
having "been Called into fellowship With HIM!" Amen?:
We "work out OUR OWN salvation" {This SHOULD Be a
lifetime of DELIVERANCE From the POWER of sin!}
PERSONAL {set yourSELF apart} Sanctification:
(2A) "Access The GRACE, Wherein ye stand!..." (Romans 5:2)
An Offering and A Sacrifice To God for a sweetsmelling savour." (Ephesians 5:2)
(2B) Fulfil, by faith, ALL Of His Law, In "ONE Word: LOVE your neighbor
as yourself!" (Galatians 5:6; Galatians 5:14; Romans 13:8-10 KJB!)
(2C) Study HIS Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, to show
yourself Approved Unto God! (2 Timothy 2:15 KJB!)
Eternal Results: reward {or loss} (1 Corinthians 3 : 8-15 KJB!),
ruling and reigning With CHRIST, Which Will FINALLY Be At

Future Tense:
(3) CHRIST's GLORIFICATION of All "members" Of HIS Body!!

Amen?

I guess I am not sure if you are (totally) correct or not... but unless we have spoken to the author of a book -- we may not know what they actually meant -- by all their words (because we cannot see in their mind) -- especially in / by spirit. the letter (literal rendering of things) can killeth (truth), but the spirit (ual) (in totality) meaning will give more of real life.

Why "have to do"? To me it is not a have to, but a "get to".
I am not satisfied at all with that "all we have to do is believe and accept": I want to live my belief out in real life in my actions and behavior every day. Out of gratefulness and the inspiration of God's love for me I want to be on the front line forces for the advancement of His Kingdom!

I love emojis and have been collecting them for years! Whenever I see one I like, I simply put my finger upon it for a sec and copy it and save the image in my photo library. If you like any of mine, feel free to copy them for your very own, okay? Bookloaf.net has some pretty cute ones.

Actually I did not say there is "more to it than just believing and accepting." What I actually said was this: (post 152093)
"I am not satisfied at all with that "all we have to do is believe and accept": I want to live my belief out in real life in my actions and behavior every day. Out of gratefulness and the inspiration of God's love for me I want to be on the front line forces for the advancement of His Kingdom! "
