' trust ' is a good work, Ps.37:3, and no one can be saved by doing good works of the Law, Gal.2:16.
the delusion in this post, as in all his other's, is that salvation is for the smart, only. this is
obviously what the poster is saying in his opening paragraph and subject line. too bad for all the
deaf, dumb and blind Christ saved as recorded in the Gospel's and too bad for Jeremiah, David, Jacob
and John the Baptist who were fetuses when Christ saved them... how does a fetus " realize "
anything ?
you have to be smart to realize something since " realize " means... ' to grasp or understand
clearly."

when the poster points out " popular so-called gospels " he means every gospel except his own...
by his own words the only " real Biblical Gospel " is that of Luther's Reformation, as he says...
" But the real Biblical Gospel, the Reformation Gospel, is hardly seen. "
he claims the " real Biblical Gospel " is the man made Reformation Gospels.

here, the poster reaffirms that Luther's Reformation reigns supreme over the Bible.

here we have the poster's belief that there are 3 Gods, which is polytheism. there is but one God,
Isa.43:11 and copious other text of Holy Scripture.
in conclusion, we have an extra-Biblical source as the " real " gospel.
we have a salvation for the smart, only.
we have salvation by good works which only the smart can do... fetuses, new born's, toddlers and the
mentally incompetent are left out.
and we have polytheism.
