Truly? How do you know?And many were once believers.
There was a verse you posted which stated loss of salvation?Okay, great ... so all of His dire warnings in the NT
about falling away and losing salvation, etc.
were bluffs, exaggerations, lies even.
There are several NT verses which say,Where do we obtain the righteousness which admits us to the Kingdom?
Y'all betta include faith too, boy!So it’s all on your effort?
No James showed that faith without works is dead. Meaning not saving faith.I think only 3 out of the 10 were before Jesus went to the Cross.
James teaches us that faith + works are required.
Where is God’s Grace and the Holy Spirit of promise in your BAC strategy?Y'all betta include faith too, boy!
If you can understand what you read, try Romans 6:16 on fer size.There was a verse you posted which stated loss of salvation?
What or Whose Righteousness is the One which saves?There are several NT verses which say,
"Those who practice righteousness are righteous (before God)."
That’s why I asked. Take a few moments read the entire chapter and let me know if (a) Paul is making a logical comparison or (b) warning everyone they will lose their salvation?If you can understand what you read, try Romans 6:16 on fer size.
No need to look it up, just look down at it.
Sure, this is good as far as it goes!My security is in Christ Jesus, Who is eternal, not my own act of faith.
There was another native flightless bird of New Zealand, called the Weka, that early Maori used to refer to as "Maori chicken". Kiwi, being a nocturnal bird that never came out in daytime, would have been far more difficult to find and catch.HUH? ... Been eatin' too many Kiwi birds again?
This is another instance of why I don't believe you're Pentecostal.
The above is all about ...John 14:15-23 ● “If you love Me, keep My commandments …
He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me
… If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
He who does not love Me does not keep My words”
Not a warning but a statement of fact. Jesus is telling them this is what it means to be a disciple.
In support of your post and for information purposes:No James showed that faith without works is dead. Meaning not saving faith.
A little more time exploring these verses within the context of the text would go a long way in helping to communicate your point. But when we do put your plucked verses in context we just find out you created a proof text pretext.
Year after year after year, you're hopelessly making excuses, after excuses, after excuses!What or Whose Righteousness is the One which saves?
I just believe what Paul wrote to the Galatians, that faith plus works is a false gospel and those who believe it are bewitched and heading to hell instead of heaven. Paul says to those Galatians who have been influenced by the Judaizers to believe that works are necessary additions to faith, that they are incredibly foolish!The above is all about ...
Who gets to heaven who does NOT love Jesus?
Are you getting the picture yet?
Who gets to heaven who does NOT obey His commandments?
Try the end of Matthew 25 on for size ... no works, and it's in the everlasting fire with you!So if our friend is preaching faith plus works
Yes the picture is clear. Jesus is telling them what it means to be a disciple. What one looks like.The above is all about ...
Who gets to heaven who does NOT love Jesus?
Are you getting the picture yet?
Who gets to heaven who does NOT obey His commandments?
So, let's get this straight ... Do you believe in grace (with faith) only?I just believe what Paul wrote to the Galatians, that faith plus works is a false gospel ...
Paul called the error at Galatia a false gospel and those promoting it “let him be accursed”So if our friend is preaching faith plus works, he is not preaching the same gospel as James, Peter, John, Barnabas, and Titus! And these men preached the true gospel of Christ.
