seem to, as professing Christians (this is the actual reason that I was correcting Feathers)
Matthew 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Luke 13:23-28
23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
this is why it is so so important to humble yourselves, because only Jesus can show you the way to salvation, and to living more and more like Jesus and the apostles did and spending all of your time helping the weak, impoverished, sick, homeless, suffering and imprisoned, without wanting the praise and attention from the World, like the good Samaritan and Jesus and the apostles and disciples did
^ this is the true calling of Jesus, not lazing about on a forum posting about how righteous and holy you are and throwing a few scriptures in to show off how "good and saintly you are" and how "bad and evil" everyone else is
because these New Testament scripture passages show that many people will indeed use Jesus's name too boost their own self-righteousness, but then find out later on that they are rejected from eternal life, because they never truly followed the true Christian path of putting Jesus and his will first in their hearts, humbling themselves, and following living out the lifestyle of becoming a meek humble thankful servant of Jesus and of true righteousness
