I heard someone pray a prayer the other day; 'Dear Lord, Please help me to become a better Christian.'
There is no such thing as a better Christian, you're either saved or you're not. There's no mid point. There's no way you can be 'more saved' then someone else. You're either saved or you're not.
It's hard to put this into words, so lets use this analogy:
If you're falling off a cliff, the outcome of that is that you get dead or someone saves you. You cannot be more saved then someone else. There's no; 'but I got saved better.' And you don't really add to the salvation you just got, do you? Someone else saved you. Same with Jesus, if we continue in our sinful ways.
This view almost makes me think my friend thinks they can gain salvation. If they just try hard enough they can be deserving of the grace poured out upon them. There is no way. Otherwise it wouldn't be grace, 'an undeserved gift' would it? We would deserve it. But we don't.
