faith alone

Rom 3: 21 But now the righteousness of God has been clearly revealed [independently and completely] apart from the Law, though it is [actually] confirmed by the Law and the [words and writings of the] Prophets. (MY NOTE: The righteousness of God is clearly revealed independently & completely...

Matt 9:16-17 Old cloth/old covenant - New cloth/new covenant (17) Old wineskins/new covenant. Don't mix um! (Also see: Mk 2:21-22, Lk 5:36-17) Rev 3: 15 I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm & neither hot nor...

Establishing the LAW of FAITH: Rom 3: 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. (NOTE: This verse declares the righteousness of Jesus & proclaims Him as the justifier of those who: have FAITH in Him > His sin...

Today I feel the need to inspire my fellow Christians to stay strong in Jesus Christ. The year 2020 and 2021 has been very awful for the entire world. Not forgetting to mention the devastation this so-called Covid-19 has caused. I have always been awed by what faith can do for those who are in...

Impute Theology: Google ascribe (righteousness, guilt, etc.) to someone by virtue of a similar quality in another. "Christ's righteousness has been imputed to us" It's Christ's righteousness (Jer 23:6 & 33:16) imputed/transferred (Rom 4:3-8) onto us & our sins are imputed/transferred onto...

Righteousness was achieved by & is received from our Great God & Savior, Jesus the Christ. The righteousness of Christ is an imputed gift. Given to NT believers when they place their faith in Christ's sin atoning work. Found in Jesus death, burial & resurrection. Rom 5:17 For if by one man's...

Ex 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that "the LORD doth put a difference between the Nations and Israel". (MY NOTE: The LORD put a difference between all other 69 (Gen 10) Nations & Israel/His chosen...

Are we saved by grace, faith, works of faith, repentance, election, or combination of these? (Please vote in the poll).

"The gospel that Jesus proclaimed was a call to discipleship, a call to follow Him in submissive obedience, not just a plea to make a decision or pray a prayer. Jesus' message liberated people from the bondage of their sin while it confronted and condemned hypocrisy. It was an offer of eternal...

I had been away from this site for quite some time, and either forgotten what it was like or it's become much (doctrinally) worse than when I was last here. There are so many people here who don't have a grasp of the Gospel. It's breathtaking. There are plenty of legalists trying to save...

Obviously this question is a fundamental question that every Christian should contemplate, but one that is also likely to draw out pat answers that are passed along without thinking much about it. I would like to respectfully ask that those who participate on this thread, first of all cast...

I believe Sola Fide (Faith Alone, or Justification by Faith Alone without works) only is accurate to say when we first come to the Faith. It is also accurate in the sense that is the foundation upon which we build, as well (For if a believer stumbles into a sin, they have God's grace not as a...

First of all, it is clear that the verses here are talking about real Christians who were justified: "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). "Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we...

I know many know of the changes life doctrine to prove one is saved. I dont hold to that strictly but do think some changes happen. I don't have a rule for it but I think there is some change. We are not or never will be sinless. What got me thinking is those who hold to the works and outside...

What does this verse mean to you: 1 Corinthians 1:31 NLT Therefore, as the Scriptures say, "If you want to boast, boast only about the LORD."

Hey, I ha

Hey all, today I am going to be alone for a significant amount of time in a car ride (So he cannot leave lol) He is lost, he is my father in law, he grew up Catholic going to mass everyday as a young person. I have tried talking about Jesus with him it just doesn't stick. I have a great...

OBJECTOR: The other day I was reading the book of Galatians, and it struck me how much emphasis Paul places on faith as the means of salvation. Then I asked myself how Catholics can believe in justification by works. If the Catholic Church really believes the Bible, as it claims, how can it...

Hello, I just want to ask what are the forms of Sola Fidei? I want to know how many forms there are, and what their biblical and logical justifications are for each of them.
