Yes, ultimately, at the Judgment, faith that is alone means you did not really have faith in this life. The lack of righteous works being the evidence and proof of that.
According to Jesus;
Salvation is for Heartful Belief and His Conversion.
According to you;
Judgement for no works, means No Salvation.
According to Jesus;
Salvation is for Heartful Belief.
Conversion is the Receiving of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and Born Again spirit.
According to Jesus;
Men will be Judged...
The Saved & Born Again Risen in Glory.
The Unsaved Risen to Damnation.
All Works Judged...
Of the Saved, All Works rewarded, THAT DID Glorified God.
OF the Saved, All Works Burned, THAT DID NOT Glorify God.
OF the Unsaved, All Works Burned.
According to you, The Saved without Works, are NOT Saved.
According To James 2:
[
24] Ye see then how that by
works a man is
justified, and not
(justified)
by faith only.
You have taken James 2 out of Context.
There are TWO Justifications OF TWO things FOR TWO things.
• Justification # 1
Salvation/Born Again spirit
FOR Belief & Conversion
Justified: To be Raised IN Glory
• Justification # 2
Works
FOR Glorifying God
Justified: To Receive Rewards
• If a "Converted man," does NOT One Work to Glorify God...
He IS Justified to be Raised in Glory.
He is Not Justified to receive Rewards.
Don't you get it?
According to Scripture TWO men were Hanging next to Jesus.
One man Asked Jesus...to Save:
Jesus and Both men.
WHO DID Jesus Save?
And WHY?
Can you answer?
Luke 23:
[
39] And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
[
40] But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
[
41] And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
[
42] And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
[
43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Glory to God,
Taken
