Bible Note: Correction the thing I described is not purgatory. What I described was what Jesus described as reported in Luke 16. I am told it was the common understanding of the Jews of this time so it made perfect sense to them when Jesus related the story to them. The idea of Purgatory "may" have been formed or based on this but nothing in Luke 16 offers any support for a place of holding until a person is found suitable for heaven. Also to your list of denominations that hold to grace alone, or faith alone through Christ alone you must include most Pentecostals such as Church of God Cleveland Tennessee and the Assemblies of God. Also include in your list the United Methodist and Nazarene who to the best of my knowledge add no other requirement or teaching apart from grace alone or faith alone through Chist alone. |
