    Can you give me an example of legalism? Like a statement a legalist would make. I was raised Christian but hadn’t heard the term until now and I’m not sure I really understand what’s going on in this exchange

        (I am asking in earnest) can you explain it like I’m 5 by telling me something a legalist would say leads to salvation?

        Like would they say “you won’t be saved unless you donate 100k to the church” or is it more like “You won’t be saved because you had sex before marriage”?

        I tried to look it up before asking but I still don’t think I understand.

          Not really, I’m a simpleton, all i know is God knows our heart and the heart determines. If that helps idk.
