But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:21-26 NASB</blockquote>

This can be taken to mean that there is no such thing as a deal breaker. If you are a [[Paul|Paulian]] Christian and accept the book of Romans as canonical then the one true standard for receiving eternal salvation can be viewed as solely the result of the personal relationship with Jesus, something that cannot be measured from the outside by other people.  The counterargument is that Christ said that we will know every tree by its fruit (Matthew 7:15-20<ref>[[Matthew_1-9_%28Translated%29#Chapter_7|Matthew ch. 7, Conservative Bible]]</ref>, Luke 6:43-45<ref>[[Luke_1-8_%28Translated%29#Chapter_6|Luke ch. 6, Conservative Bible]]</ref>).
