    It Is Not About You!

    Salvation does not equal: Claiming to have prayed a sinner’s prayer, water baptism, sacraments, tithes and offerings, becoming a member of a church, keeping the Sabbath, missionary work, and all other forms of works pressed upon those who are called and chosen according to the good purpose of...

    Is Romans 5:13 saying that men were not punished for their sin before the Law of Moses?

    Is Romans 5:13 saying that men were not punished for their sin before the Law of Moses? No. I believe Romans 5:13 is saying that sin was not imputed after the written record of the Law of Moses. Meaning, sin was not imputed to men according to the written Law, but according to Adam's...

    Faith "of" Christ Vs Faith "in" Christ

    Faith begins with & is worthless without, Christ's Faith as the foundation: Heb 12: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (MY NOTE: Christ...

    Romans 5:1-2 ESV “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Literally this should read, “Therefore...

    Are you in the Faith, or are you on the Cross?

    The NT tells you, if you are born again, to be "in the faith".....to make certain of this.... 2nd Corinthians 13:5 It does not tell you to be "IN the commandments" or "IN the law", or anything that has to do with performance or self effort .. as how to be "IN the FAITH". Jesus gave you some...

    Orthodox only please, what is the official position of the EO Church on faith and works?

    im curious if the EO’s official position of faith and works is that works do play some sort of role in our salvation. I do believe that works are necessary for salvation, given the individual has the ability to do them, but I’m reluctant to say that the works themselves actually play a role in...

    For the Reformed (mostly): on Union with Christ

    Hi all, For my reformed friends: Question 30 of the cathechism states: "The Spirit applieth to us the redemption purchased by Christ, by working faith in us, and thereby uniting us to Christ in our effectual calling." "Working faith in us" quite obviously points to the "creation" of faith in...

    Jesus and Paul on Justification by the Law

    A place for us

    Tired of the judgement and condemnation we've gotten from our church, I've been looking for a community that would welcome and accept us as we are (a family of three) and not try to change or make us give up our lifestyle.

    Sufficiency of Imputed Righteousness

    I need help in clarifying justification as Protestants account for it. I'm a sinner, and I'd like to one day enter heaven. But heaven cannot contain sin, therefore if I am to enter heaven, I am to be without sin. How then will imputed righteousness be sufficient in allowing me to enter heaven...
