If you believe works are required for salvation it would seem important that one knows what specific works you should be doing. Can we list them on this thread and link them to salvation?
Rules: The link must be solid, no fuzzy stuff. Something like John 3:16. It must be from the Bible. Not-sinning is not a "work" in this question. Baptism has been talked to the paralysis of analysis so lets throw that out as a "work" for the purpose of this question. Let's find the works that we all keep calling "works", what are they exactly?
Let's say that you desire to post that Jesus said" If you love me you will keep my commands". OK, what are they?
Note: If you didn't give all your money and property to the poor you missed one, did you not? So; if you want to use this route to explain your position you are allowed, as long as you followed it yourself. (My hat if off to you). But if you desire to use this route but pick-and-choose from His commands, please don't post. In-other-words; if you are doing it, post it, and, support it biblically as a requirement for salvation. But be prepared to defend against the ones you choose to ignore. (as long as it's done in Christian love)
Now, everyone here knows where I stand on this, but let me state clearly that I am not, in any way, attacking, flaming or belittling anyone's views concerning salvation. I respect your view and will be the first to defend any attacks, remarks or suggestions that any of us are right or wrong here and by that rightness or wrongness one is either saved or lost. This is a discussion forum and I respect your right to be here and believe as you choose, and request you to do the same.
OK, Let's list them:
