We begin to see Jesus draw the line between admirers and actual followers/disciples. What we see in this passage is a look to the "languages of salvation" that scripture uses. What we find when we take an honest look at what scripture defines as "salvation" is far more than just fire insurance. We must be willing to see if our assurances line up with what scripture says.
