You don't need purgatory. Purgatory is a made-up place created by the Catholics in the earlier centuries, to get the church out of debt. Research the origin of purgatory to find out more.
I concur.
Next question please.
To be saved by the tender love and mercy of God's Son Jesus Christ.
To be saved, a person must believe in Jesus Christ as their savior, repent of their sins, and accept Him into their heart as Lord and Savior. This involves acknowledging their need for forgiveness, confessing their sins, and committing to following Jesus.
Protestants do not believe in purgatory because they interpret the Bible differently from Catholics. Protestants believe that when a person dies, they go directly to heaven or hell based on their faith in Jesus Christ. They do not see any biblical evidence for a temporary place like purgatory where souls are purified before entering heaven. Protestants emphasize the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of sins, and they believe that believers are made righteous through faith in Jesus alone, without the need for purification in purgatory.
You need religion for the simple fact that all belivers in God and that have not been saved by Jesus Christ will go to hell. that simple. But if you want to get all "politically correct" you can say that everyone needs something to believe in.

You don't need to read the bible to be saved, you don't need to read it at all. Jesus just says that it is good for us, fruit for the soul. To be saved all you need to do is confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe with your heart that he died and rose from the dead. That's it your saved. It's then your choice if you want to please Jesus by going to church and reading the bible. Just as long as you have confessed and believe, your saved and Jesus is happy and loves you just the same.
We can pray in either names Jesus or Jesus christ and he will hear us for sure.
jesus needs apostle for them to continue the earthly ministry of jesus
No you can not be saved at all, with the help of the ten commandments only, You must admit in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, then only can you be saved. Otherwise you are lost for ever.
Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved... The Holy Spirit leads you to Christ, and your need for Him. When you realize how much you need Jesus, then you ask Him into your life, and you start believing in Him. What happens next is up to you. You must study the Word of God and learn who the person of Jesus is and who God is. You must STUDY, FAST, and PRAY. Dive into the deep waters of God. There is no other way around that. Turn believing Jesus into knowing Jesus. There is a difference.
To believe whole heartedly that your a sinner saved by Jesus Christ, and believe that He died on the cross for your sins. He had a choice to do what He did, and He died for the love of us to be saved. Believe that sincerely, live the way God intended us to live. Helping one another out when in need.
Ghandi liked Jesus' sayings but did not believe that he was a sinner that needed saving by Jesus, as all men need salvation by Jesus.
Romans 10:9-10 "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."I know most Christians enjoy making this subject very complicated but it's really not. Jesus did all the work necessary for you to be saved all you have to do. This what the Word says. Some will say that you need to forsake your sins and then you will be saved but that is not true.Christians still make mistakes even after we come to Jesus. We aren't saved because of how moral we are able to become, we are saved because Jesus paid the price on Calvary's cross!!!2 Corinthians 5:21 "For He made Him who knew no sin to besin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."Answer:Note to the above answer. This does not mean you should continue sinning, on purpose, you should be a new creation in Christ.
