Wow!
I agree but there still an order that we must do or adhere to, because yes, Jesus brought grace when he came in the flesh, but example of grace was in the days of Noah. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. (Genesis 6:8), And Noah and his family was saved. Now Paul said in (Rom. 3:23-25) (v.23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (v.24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: (v.25) Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. So the bible tells you to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2 :36-38). And by doing so you come up under his precious blood and then you are saved from your sins that are past, not present or future sins but for sins that are past.I don't try to teach anything of God, that I don't already have Scripture for. I'll give them here again for you.
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy; for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
We are saved by grace to believe unto righteousness. But only the righteous receive the reward of inheriting the kingdom of God at the resurrection of the dead.
Being saved by grace in this life is good, but only those doing righteousness by grace attain to the resurrection of the dead unto everlasting life.
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Believing unto righteousness saves by grace today, but only doing the righteousness of God in the end, resurrects to inherit His righteous kingdom forever.
Was that meant to start a conversation - otr just admission that you LIED about the Church selling Indulgences?
Ephesians 2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."Saved by faith alone is a false doctrine that's contrary to scripture. It's nonsense.
The whole point is – how do YOU define “FAITH”.Ephesians 2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."
Why is this Scripture nonsense? What else is required? Works?
Good.I'll stick with the Gospel of Jesus.
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.Claiming Paul and John had their own Gospel is a new one. Odd. But new.
It's simple! Because it's not the only scripture! There are many more that add additional requirements.Ephesians 2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."

Eternally irrevocably saved from the moment we believe, yes.Good.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Do you believe from the heart you can live righteously and walk as He walked, by the power and divine nature given to them that believe unto righteousness from the heart?
I don't think you understand what you just said there so I'll leave you with it.In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
You either don't read all Scripture, or don't pay close attention to what is said in Scripture.
At this point, my gospel I preach from Scripture, is obviously not the same as yours'. Even as Paul's gospel preached by revelation of the Lord, was not the same as that preached by others.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
We can never attain the status of Christ Like in its fullest sense. Because Christ was God. And we to our last molecule are as God made us.
Amen! That salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9) is not hard to understand. It's just hard for works-salvationists to ACCEPT. It's a shame that human pride will not allow works-salvationists to place their faith in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. Their hands are full of their works and they will not let go in order to receive Christ through faith.Ephesians 2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."

Noah, by obeying the commandment of God, and doing the work of building the ark by faith, and was rewarded with deliverance from the flood upon the wicked.I agree but there still an order that we must do or adhere to, because yes, Jesus brought grace when he came in the flesh, but example of grace was in the days of Noah. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. (Genesis 6:8), And Noah and his family was saved.
Exactly. And if we as 2 Peter 1 commands, then do the good work of adding those things necessary not to fall, as Noah did with the ark not to drown, then we too are rewarded with the inheritance of eternal salvation.Now Paul said in (Rom. 3:23-25) (v.23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (v.24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: (v.25) Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. So the bible tells you to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2 :36-38). And by doing so you come up under his precious blood and then you are saved from your sins that are past, not present or future sins but for sins that are past.
Exactly. Yesterday is past, and tomorrow may not come.So by coming under the blood of Jesus you are saved from your past sins. And if you are saved now, it is on a day to day basis.
All have sinned in the past. Not all are sinning today.Because for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 23:3),
If we sin, not when.and if you continue to live you will sin again.
True. But also by prayer in the Holy Ghost and building up ourselves upon His faith, we also can be blameless in soul, spirit, and body. (Jude) (1 Thess 5:23)It is the willful sinning that you need to put in check. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. (Hebrew 10: 26, 27)
True.Now look what Paul says in Romans 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. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
See....this is the person one should be after they have repented and came up under the blood of Jesus. This is how grace works for a person, according to the Bible.
This is neither - so what's your point, Einstein?
