Explain these scripture verses thenDisagree.
Gods Offering of Salvation is to every man.
Every man is an individual.
Every individual Does Not Have the exact same opportunities and experiences.
An individual "HEARING" the name JESUS, for the very first time, is gifted FROM GOD, a small very tiny measure of FAITH.
Should that man, in a moment later, physically die...
THAT very tiny measure of Gods Gift of "FAITH ALONE", IS sufficiant to SAVE THAT MAN.
Men ARE individuals. Comparing men to what YOU have Heard, YOU believe, YOU do, YOUR opportunities, YOUR experiences....has No effect ON an other mans individual relationship with God.
* God Himself, searches the Heart of Every man. And absolutely a very tiny measure of Gods Gift of FAITH ALONE, can SAVE men.
* This is a deeper study than it appears you consider.
You say...
THAT ^ undermines God.
THAT ^ may not apply to you.
THAT ^ may not apply to many others.
"FAITH ALONE" may apply to millions of men.
* Men have been SPREADING Gods Word around the World for Centuries.
* It is "Guesswork" as to, "IF every Living man, or every man who shall be naturally born, HAS or SHALL HEAR the name JESUS.
* Men have been Dividing themselves For Centuries.
* Many men have already BECOME MADE DIVIDED and SEPARATED unto God.
* God is Prepared to SEPARATE the DIVIDED; (those WITH Him from those WITHOUT Him).
* In a moment BEFORE God MAKES His LAST SEPARATION, (those WITH Him from those WITHOUT Him.)
* GOD HIMSELF sends His Angel to HEAR the Name of JESUS to the "WHOLE" World.
* Every single man, HEARING the Name Jesus, IS Every single man, being Gifted with a tiny (and sufficient) measure of Gods Gift of FAITH AlONE.
(Some people preach, MEN must be taught long sermons, to be saved.
Some people preach, MEN must do works, to be saved.)
Jesus taught, Hear, and receive Gods Gift of Faith.
Jesus taught, Believe in your Hearts thoughts, and BE MADE SAVED, BY Gods WORKS in a man.
Scripture teaches, WHO KNOWS the thoughts IN A MANS spirit? (which is precisely a mans thoughts in his heart)... IS Precisely, God and the man himself.
Men men have HEARD and will HEAR, the Name Jesus. Been Gifted with FAITH from God, Believed, and Been Saved, BY GODS WORKS WITHIN THEM.
FAITH "without WORKS"...is Dead;
is Expressly a teaching...notifying the reader,
FAITH, (a gift from God), MUST and DOES, Go Hand in Hand, WITH (Gods Works "IN A MAN").
* It is NOT about (as some teach)...
About a man MUST DO WORKS, or his gift of faith is dead.
Scripture verifies THAT ^.
Works a man DOES DO, (that glorifies God)...
Are works a man RECEIVES REWARDS FOR DOING.
Faith is a Gift, for Hearing, not a reward.
Salvation is a Gift, for believing, not a reward.
ANY WORKS a man does that does NOT glorify God (has no reward, and no consequence). The Works are simply burned.
Works of a man, ARE NOT HOW a man Receives Faith or Salvation.
Works of God, (IN A MAN), ARE EXPRESSLY HOW a man Receives SALVATION.
Expressly, a mans "reasonable" SERVICE IS;
Rom 12:
[1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
While SERVICE CAN be "a Works" of man.
"SERVICE" can also be, "a preparedness" to DO a Works.
( John the Baptist, believed, and was prepared to DO a works, Adam, Samuel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, David, several Simons, several Mary's believed, and were prepared (as were many others) to DO a Works, and we have their written and published accounts of the Works they DID.)
Rom 12:1 notifies us, it is expressly a mans sacrifice of his living body, that is acceptable
To God. (Further verified by crucifixion WITH Christ Jesus, yet still bodily alive).
A man who Hears Jesus, receives Gods gift of Faith. A man who Believes in His Heart, is expressly known by the man and the Lord God.
God Works...God gave His Word to the World.
God Works...God gives Faith.
God Works...God searches the heart.
God Works...God forgives.
God Works...God covers sin.
God Works...God sanctifies.
God Works...God justifies.
God Works...God separates the divided.
God Works...God Saves.
God Works...God Takes the Saved unto Himself.
Gods Works...God prepares the man for Service...and calls on that mans Service in the day of Gods Election.
Gods Gift of Faith to a man is Paramount for Salvation of the man.
Gods Works in a man is Paramount for Salvation of the man.
Mans Works do not Save the man.
Man being a Teacher does not Save the man.
Man standing on a stage with a pointy hat, a long robe, sprinkling water on a babe, dunking a person in Water, neither Saves the man, the the babe, or the person.
* Bottom line...Gods Works Saves a person.
Titus 3:
[5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Glory to God,
