     This is what the Scriptures say exp. Acts 26:20 repent and turn to God,   
   and do good works. does that sound the same as what your preaching?? no

       Salvation is conditional, LK.3:3. except you repent, LK. 17:3. if you   
   repent, EXCEPT and IF are conditions you must meet, Rev. 2:5. DO FIRST THE   
   WORK,,,  EXCEPT you REPENT.
