works-based salvation does not qualify as actual salvation
Good deeds doesn't amount to some sort of divine reward?
I thought once dead you'd have a list of your sins and good works read aloud as you're judged during your rebirth, and I have a hard time believing a faith wouldn't push doing good deeds in it's name.
sharing the genuine grace-based gospel message is the best "good work" that a person can do and I talk about Jesus with everyone soo idk what your point is
So there's nothing to gain from giving Charity for example?
If there is, Jesus doesn't tell us exactly what earns rewards and what the rewards specifically are
From what I've seen, from how people are not meant to be the judges of that it is left up to God to gauge, as if you are only doing good deeds for the sake of being rewarded then it's not genuine.
If someone however is doing good works out of the genuine kindness of their heart, that Biblically would be looked at positively, but as to how positively we don't get to know. There's otherwise plenty of instructions in there for how people are supposed to act, and not acting that way is called sin, so in a sense people are being directly judged over their works.
The texts likely does not quantify the value of good work as to try to avoid people missing the point of it.
I mean Jesus does say that we can use heavenly rewards as a motivator though, so you are incorrect
the more we act in obedience in this life the more blessings we receive and there are rewards in eternal life that will be given
It is mostly obedience based, but your good works cannot earn your salvation, only Jesus's sacrifice and accepting His forgiveness for all of your sins can do that
