That fact even puts more emphasis that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works. For if works really is a requirement or a basis for salvation, then it is no big thing that Jesus would have done something about that.I don't think he thief at the cross had the opportunity to fail to do the will of God after he called out to Jesus to be saved.Tong2020 said: ↑
The case of the thief at the cross ... It is by faith that he was saved, and that by grace. And saved he is, what happens of his works?
And that will be so with you then.Laps on the same subject. Yes, past tense, saved, not future tense. You cannot even use language correctly for doing so reveals the fallacy of your doctrine. We are saved by grace but then we obligations and responsibilities to meet as in Matthew 7:21 & John 15:1-2.Tong2020 said: ↑
You see, we are saved by grace through faith, not by works.
As for me there are no obligations to be met to be saved or remain saved. For I am already saved. If there is anything for me to do after that, it has nothing to do with what had been already accomplished, but has everything to do with what God had prepared for me to do.
