If Faith Brings Salvation Then Why Should Believers Care About Morality?

A former team member here at DC, DagoodS, asks this important question.

If one’s own personal belief was enough—-what would it matter if Adam and Steve were married? If one’s own personal belief was enough—-who cares whether there was a strip club down the street? Or liquor is sold on Sunday? Or people wear certain clothes or say certain prayers or do certain acts?

By their nature, religions control. Christianity (despite its protests otherwise) is no exception.

Evangelical Christians claim God saves all who believe but that he rewards them differently in heaven based upon their subsequent obedience. Does God forgive all of the sins of a believer or not? Yes, or no? If he does, then all believers should be rewarded the same in heaven. And there is no good reason for them to be concerned about moral obedience, since that is not what saves them.
