this is a fascinating coincidence as I was discussing Matt 25:34-40 with my conservative/neo-Calvinist friend the other night. I took a position much like Ernest's, that the text can be read to mean 'salvation outside the Church'. he took the position that salvation is only received sola gratia and sola fide, that good works earned you nothing, and in fact that good works inspired by an ethic other than faith in Christ is actually a sin against God.
his counterpoint to the Ernest-argument is to emphasize that Christ is addressing those who already believe in him, and that his words do not apply to those who do not accept Him as their Savior.
