What strikes me most about Jesus using the widow of Zarephath and Naaman is that neither had “perfect theology”—but they recognized and trusted the true God.

We complicate the gospel when it is really just believing and giving our loyalty to The Lord.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” — Acts 16:31

And always remember the robber on the cross beside Jesus,who Jesus told he would be with him in Paradise.Luke 23:41-43

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” - John 6:29

This is so true! Every day I'm fighting my worst enemy,which is my own self
Please pray that I trust in God ONLY thru his Anointed Salvation ( Jesus Christ).and that my works begin to show it. I don't trust in myself at all

Brilliant. The church makes salvation sooooo complicated.

"Abram BELIEVED the LORD...  and it was CREDITED to him as Righteousness!".  Genesis 15:6 📖

Salvation comes first then knowledge

I love this. Everyone loves to stick repent first in there, not just change your mind repent. But stop all your sin. Problem is I couldn’t till , Christ did it for me , via power of the Holy Spirit . If I could have changed myself I would have Believe me. Now somethings sure but not all. Why do you think Toney Robbins made a literal Billion dollars selling self change that will never stick?

Yes ...you don't need perfect theology to be saved...but you need to read the scriptures to not be duped from the pulpit and by the so called experts.

John 3:3 says, unless a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.  John 3:5 says, unless a man is born of water and the spirit; he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

You are not unsaved. A just and loving God does not condemn people to unending torment and pain for something they did in a finite life. And certainly not for a sin committed by someone else thousands of years earlier. It's preposterous.

It’s simple you believe you receive your spirit is now made perfect holy righteous before God now you live from that through a flesh that doesn’t want to live that way, but he’s giving you victory over it. Sanctification process first Thessalonians  4:4.

The thief on the Cross said Jesus remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.  That's it.

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

As long as your belief serves a purpose aligned with God's you will believe it, until you need to believe something else in order to continue doing so.

It's an extreme sort of love which allows all beings throughout time and space to know how to create and reveal the reality which God imagines. There are many different gods of many different religions, but the core idea is that they all create a better world together through a kind of understanding akin to telepathy.

Additionally, the search for a central deity is much like searching for the center of a large object which is made up of infinitely many smaller objects... In this case the center of such a large object has to do with a form of intelligence which consists of the connection between beings.

God wants the part of creation that wants to be with Him.  God knows how manipulative humans can be.  This was proven by the Pharisees.  God made salvation so simple that no human could manipulate it for their own ends or use their salvation against, or lord it over, another person.  God made it so simple that only God could ever get the glory.  Believe and you will be saved.  Everything else comes out of your love and appreciation for God's work.  All our work will be tested and weighed by fire.  All those things we do that are not helpful will be burned up, even though you will still be saved.

4:25 While this is true, can the same be said of us today with upwards to 50 different Bible translations in our pockets? Will there be different expectations for the disciples of this day because the conditions are inarguably much different as far as access to information?

“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭LSB‬‬

Isn’t the point of the passage in Luke that since they were in possession of the covenant and promises they should have greater faith than these pagans as expressed in their works, which communicated a bad relationship with God. Not that works are irrelevant. But that covenantal loyalty expressed through works

What. Is the relationship between “believing loyalty”, “performance”, and “worship”? If no idol worshiping Israelites in heaven, isn’t that “performance”? Does believing loyalty reveal itself in the fruit of pure worship?

All of Catholicism and orthodox need to watch this and be honest from the pope all the way down with everything that’s been added to the scriptures over their history and then we all need to repent of what is not accepted by God in the end except to believe what he says about his son Jesus Christ and what Christ himself says in the example of these two pagans

Totally off topic, but the only modern exposure I have to Naaman is a BBQ place in Texarkana called Naaman's, and their tagline is "Come and get ya' some (you know what we mean)". 😂 I still don't know the connection, but surely there must be one.
