I would ask the question a little differenctly. I would ask: "Can a Buddist be saved?" For me the answer is "yes." If the Gentile in Romans 2 can be saved, why not the Buddist who does by nature, the things of the law? It is important to me, that one uderstands that IF that Buddist is saved, it is not because of his faith -- it is because of the faith of Christ Jesus Himself. There is salvation in none other. On that we all agree. Does Dave Hansen agree? DAVEH: Yes. John -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
