ok then from what I understand purgatory is the kingdom of Satan
Satan has no kingdom he was defeated at the cross
Christ says
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
John 14:30 (NKJV)
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
1 Cor 2:2-6 (NKJV)
The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe cometh quickly.
And the seventh angel sounded; there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign forever and ever.
Rev 11:14-15 (ASV)
Revelation 2:13 I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
All fulfilled at the crossChrist saysI will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.

I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is for the ruler of this world is coming The kingdom of the world will become the kingdom of our Lord
Thanks
yes, but one thing left?
What?
You have to confess your sins, in order to be saved, it's in the scriptures, and confess that Jesus is the Christ to the public and you much give up something, not on the internet but outside

You apparently belong to the church of "You must".
You must repent, you must confess, you must, you must, you must and if you don't you are anathema. Actually, the only thing that is required of us is that we believe. Jesus said, "Whosoever that believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16. The condition for receiving the Holy Spirit is faith, Galatians 3:2. Not by works or obedience, but by faith alone.
greetings
technically yes, but we have this
In the New and Old Testament
But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:8-9 (NKJV)
For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame."
Romans 10:10-11 (NKJV)
For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart-- These, O God, You will not despise.
Psalms 51:16-17 (NKJV)
Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?
And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God.
You see then that a man is justified by works, (meaning doing good deeds)and not by faith only.
James 2:22-24 (NKJV)
then if I go a little further
You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
I do not receive honor from men.
But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
How can you believe, those who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?
John 5:39-44 (NKJV)
We read in Romans 3: 20 - 26. Therefore by the deeds of the law, there shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference; For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; Whom God hath set forth to be propitiation through faith in his blood, do declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance ofGod; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness; that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. I quote again,
In Romans3:24-26.Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness; that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
(The word past through, does not mean that God has not forgotten our sins)
Why don’t they have the creed in their worship service to make that public profession of faith?
Do we also have to confess our sin?
Do we have to abide in Christ and endure to the end to be saved?
What about our call to suffering?
Thanks
Greetings
I understand your feelings, every Denomination is different.
One must ask for the Holy Spirit in prayer
One of the things that the Holy Spirit does is convicts a person of their sins.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just forgives our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His words are not in us.
1 John 1:8-10 (NKJV)
The question is how I pray with your faith.
In Matthew 6: 5 - 6 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.
Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame."
Romans 10:10-11
A confession is verbal one must go into your private room, alone, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
For with the heart, one believes in righteousness.
Romans 10:10
to make a way to salvation, a journey meaning you confess to be saved or if one endures the tribulation, and if anyone survives you will be saved through various trials and tribulation, testing the heart, and being baptized by the Holy Spirit by fire
Instructions
This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him.
If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.
Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Tim 2:11-15 (NKJV)
In the courtroom, there is a judge, who holds the Bible as they swear to tell the truth and nothing So help you, God. This is called a sworn testimony, in righteousness.
Here. So, the king said to him, "How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?"
2 Chron 18:15 (NKJV)
Confessing one sins is not easy, once you make the effort the burden of one's heart starts to heal.
The apostles asked how we pray? Servant of the Mount Christ showed them in a manner of saying our father who is in heaven
The Word is clear
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.
Heb 13:8-9 (NKJV)
Faith and baptism are required not faith alone
There are no denominations only the one true church founded by Christ on Peter and man made sects
Only Christ has authority to establish the church! Matt 16:18-19
One church! Jn 10:16 All others are sects “full of errors” “the tradition of men”! The new covenant Church is the eternal city of God! Household of faith! The pillar and ground of TRUTH! 1 Tim 3:15 Founded by Christ alone! Matt 16:18 on Peter and the apostles! Eph 2:20
Thanks
