UGP 010 - Performance Based Religion, Part 1
TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
Performance based religion is very different than grace. The idea of following rules to be acceptable to God can define a performance based religion. A religion that requires standards of behavior and the performance of those behaviors can actually run the risk of not having a relationship with God.
