47. They believe that just thinking they are "saved" will get them into heaven.

James, the Apostle, says, "Na-a!"

Faith Without Deeds

James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

In other words, "Talk is cheap." or, "Actions speak louder than words!"
