those who are members of christ
And what makes a member of Christ?
1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Galatians 3:27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
I hope we not just going round in circles here

Explained that already - you can't grasp it: We are in the "already but not yet" state of salvationRomans 13:11
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

It is a done deal but not fully consummated.

There is a huge difference between adherents to the church of Rome, and members of the Body of Christ. They are not equivalent, though doubtless some Catholics may be saved. Only God knows. But any Catholic who is truly saved COMES OUT of the RCC.those who are members of christ
I am in agreement with Martin Luther, not the RCC view. Faith is a gift, not earned. And faith will result in fruit. That fruit is of God so no one can take credit for it.So you’re going with the catholic idea of grace in Christ faith working thru love
Twisting things that people say is bearing false witness against your neighbor, attacking other Christians on this forum IS NOT an example of the fruit of the Spirit. You have beenthen you need to stop saying you’re saved?
I need to start hanging out with you... LOL.... I lack patience and tolerance for so many people here.... and I have discovered... I need a lot of breaks in between. Good answer.Twisting things that people say is bearing false witness against your neighbor, attacking other Christians on this forum IS NOT an example of the fruit of the Spirit. You have been
On this negative warpath again st Protestants who are taking time trying to help you. Kindness, goodness, patience, love, joy, peace, Faith, hope, self control ... can you confirm that you display these qualities in your posts? I don't need your answer, it is just a question we all need to ask ourselves.
And this is one of your problems.Religion is what man owes to God for his creation and redemption
This is BRILLIANT... .THANK you... .You made my day... It's so nice to HEAR someone state the truth of GRACE.And this is one of your problems.
Religion is man's flawed ways of reaching to God.
Christianity is GOD'S prefect way of reaching man.
Certainly we are called to be obedient, holy, loving and abiding in His Word, but a legalistic path to achieve this is flawed, it fails. We even possess moments of perfection if we are doing exactly what is called for at that moment - still God works through us, He gets the credit. People who think they have achieved salvation are fooling themselves and it is quite arrogant to think that you can. The Pharisees were a prime example, white washed tombs who would lead people further away from God, and turning them into more wretched sinners.
Christians are made by baptism Matt 28:19 jn 3:5 jn 4:1 etc.

Thee faith has lived as a soldier of the RCC . I pray he dies not as one . For the end of that does not bode well .if you say so.
I tried.
Good day sir

Examine your faith. What does it mean to you? Is it not the certainly of things hoped for, with a confidence of these unseen promises (salvation, heaven)?
Or is it a faith that still needs works to validate it? Think of that, it is a gift from God, would He change his mind and take it away if you do not produce works?
He knows the future and does not give a gift of life that He is certain will grow to produce fruit.
All that James was saying in essence is "by their fruit you will know them". If there is no fruit, God never gave them the gift to begin with. And of course it takes awhile for a tree to grow before it produces fruit.
Our purpose in life is first to be reconciled to God through Jesus and second to LOVE GOD AND OTHERS.
All we can do is pray.Thee faith has lived as a soldier of the RCC . I pray he dies not as one . For the end of that does not bode well .
His father is the RCC , His mother is the RCC . He knows only the RCC . WE must pray for him , but do not follow that path .
Is pope francis an apostel of Christ . I mean he so called sits in the seat . THIS is a far better question for you to answer .what authority does luther have?
Is he an apostle of Jesus Christ?
And this is one of your problems.
