   Whatever you mean by "need Jesus' ransom", it clearly CONTRADICTS what   
   the true and saving gospel proclaims, since in the very next breath, you   
   claim salvation can be "earned" through personal effort.

   Notice how the FALSE GOSPEL LIAR contradicts the true, saving gospel:   
      
   “I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through   
   the law, then Christ died for no purpose.” (Galatians 2:21, ESV)   
      
   “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your   
   own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one   
   may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9, ESV)   
      
   “he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but   
   according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal   
   of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ   
   our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs   
   according to the hope of eternal life.” (Titus 3:5–7, ESV)   
      
   “Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you,   
   which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being   
   saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you   
   believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I   
   also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the   
   Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in   
   accordance with the Scriptures,” (1 Corinthians 15:1–4, ESV)   
      
   “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel   
   contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have   
   said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel   
   contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.” (Galatians   
   1:8–9, ESV)   
      
   You are NOT preaching that gospel which Paul and the apostles   
   proclaimed. Therefore you will be accursed. The epistles, NOT your   
   free-lance interpretation and twisting of the gospels, is the divinely   
   inspired commentary on how the gospels should be interpreted and applied   
   to the church.   
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
