Amen, Tammie. Beautifully said and my prayer would be for the Church to SEE these things around them as a shadow of Jacob's Trouble. If they did, perhaps they'd work harder and cry for the lost. It has always been by salvation by Grace, through Faith, through Christ alone. No one has ever deserved salvation. It has always been by God's Grace. No has ever earned their salvation. It has always been by Faith. There is only one Saviour and that is Jesus Christ. That is the way it has always been and the way it always will be. To say that someone could be saved, even in part, by works is heretical. I thoroughly reject the Ruckmanite teaching that says that Old Testament Saints were saved by faith + works, Tribulation saints will be saved by faith + works and people in the Millennium will be saved by works alone.
