Well I thought I was sticking to the topic at hand.
SayWhat: "My concern is defining what it means to be saved and how one goes about doing so"
I thought that the scripture that I posted made it clear. That is the Good News. Being invited. Accepting the invitation. Being prepared and ready (like the 5 wise virgins) for when the wedding takes place. Accepting the wedding clothes (Jesus) that makes a person worthy.
What not to do: Ignore the invitation. Being too busy with one's daily life to even care. Hating/Hurting/Killing the King's messengers. Trying to sneak into the wedding a different way.
