A lot of religions have rules to follow, but their heart isn't there for God. Even in Christianity, if you're heart isn't with God then where do you think you're going? Many will cry out "Lord, Lord", but jesus will say he never knew you. I say YES christianity offers salvation as a gift w/o works, but let's not forget to be grateful and to give back any way. In that way you will be showing God your heart!

If the Important thing is Salvation than one should look for the right and logical answer to it rather than just having a belief in anything that comes your way.
Islam tells us that that salvation only depends on your good deeds and none could enter paradise except the mercy of Allah.
Just like in this world your actions bring you success similarly your actions wills be weighted in the hereafter other wise just beleving in the lord (jesus) as you ticket to heaven doesnt really make any sense.

"Why do Jews reject the salvation provided by using Jesus Christ even as His presence is all round them?" Is it fairly? 'reason I particular do not see it. looks to me you're seeing what you want to make certain. "obviously, Jews have a competent suspicion that Christianity and the attractiveness of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the only real route to salvation, and some do act on those suspicions, and settle for Him." i'm attempting now to not chortle at that. Do you've any outward signals to help your declare, or are you once lower back projecting onto an ancestral non secular team? "although, maximum Jews do not take this step, in spite of being surrounded by using data, such because the fulfilled prophecies contained in the former testomony." Are you considering the prophesy that the Messiah may be named Immanuel (not Jesus), and be a excellent away blood descendant of King David (which won't be able to be if Jesus changed into an immaculate theory)?

as far as I know.
Judaism offers salvation as a gift if you are Jewish. But I guess if you were a jewish convert that would be a "work"
Otherwise in other religions it is essentially be good and you will be rewarded. Christianity says "realize that you aren't good and you will be rewarded." Personally I prefer the later

Having studied many religions and knowing many people (and have friends) from many different religions I have concluded that it greatly depends on how you define the word "salvation". But universally, the answer is yes (you just have to define the word "salvation").

Exactly! That is why we call it the lazy man's religion. All you have to do is be in the club and believe in the mythology. Let's not worry about good and bad; right and wrong. Let's murder, rape, kill, and steal- then be born again. As long as you love Jesus you can do whatever you want and take pride knowing everyone else is going to hell.
It's popularity makes sense.

I think it's the only religion. But people also believe they can get rich in a way that is not through works. They call it the lottery. What are the odds of getting rich that way?

My religion does not offer a salvation... nothing unsaved to begin with.

No. Some ancient Pagan religions also offered that to their people. Attis, Dionysus/Bacchus, Mithra....

as long as you believe in the Lord then you have salvation.
