 in fairness, when i used to smoke weed.  i'd forget how to walk. not that i couldn't walk, i'd just forget my natural walk & get all self conscious thinking about how to walk like i normally did. usually just sat on a wall for awhile till the stone receded... 
 >It is only through faith in Jesus Christ alone that you are saved
Except if you're Catholic or Orthodox.  Then no matter how much faith in Christ you have, you're not saved because... reasons.

> No works, no practices. 
Except for all the verses saying otherwise, but sure, whatever.

>12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Revelation 22:12

Protestants have quite the conundrum.  Christ came to save, but according to protestants, He timed it wrong because a millennium and half passed of souls perishing before Luther & Calvin came to say, "Ackshually..."

For all their, "I'm a bible believing Christian" talk, they don't actually read it.
Most don't even got to Church, sure why would you? Believe Christ saves - except satan & demons, they believe but aren't saved - and that's it, church isn't necessary, reading scripture isn't even necessary, nothing is except belief.  just ignore the fact satan believes, how'd that work out for him?  satan didn't fall for lack of belief, he fell for lack of obedience.
The protestants that do go to "church" just have the same handful of verses taken out of context read to them then recycled again.  

original new agers.  basically, leave anyway you want, just profess Christ and you're aces... which Jesus literally rebuked.
