Brethren,
Your comment: Matt 7: is talking about people who think the have to work for salvation
My comment: Matthew 7: 21-23 is not talking about people who think they have to work for salvation. The Lord says what they lacked was that they did not do God's will (or works of obedience). They acted outside of the law - - that is, they did not do what God required them to do in his law. Those who cling to the "faith only" doctrine ignore the commands and examples that stress the importance of , not only baptism, but repentance and confession also. This is lawlessness. Lawlessness is not acceptable to God.
Your quote:
God has done all the work for are salvation
My comment:
Why not harmonize whatever passage it is that you think says that Gods does it all for salvation with Philippians 2:12?
I have asked before for your understanding of Romans 9:11. You have used this verse to suggest that baptism is not necessary, and that God's election (predestination) is set; God does it all; it really doesn't matter what we do. I think I have been rather patient with you - - this verse is speaking of Rebecca and Jacob's sons, Esau and Jacob. While it is true that Esau and Jacob did not have to be baptized before they were born, and it is true that God chose Jacob, the younger brother, to rule over the older brother, what does either fact have anything to do with determining what is necessary for our salvation today? You obviously are loaded up with information on this topic that I do not have. Enlighten me!
Since you promote salvation by faith only, tell me why we do not have to obey the commands to repent of sins? (see Luke 13:3,5 ; Acts 2:38 ; Acts 8:22 ; Acts 17:30) I would like to see you harmonize the passage that teaches salvation by faith only (??????) with these passages that stress the necessity to repent.
