    "JUSTIFICATION"

    If you are correct when you teach Paul is teaching Abraham is not JUSTIFIED by his works of any kind. Then the apostles contradict themselves, James 2: 14;20-24 True faith evidenced by works, But wilt thou know O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our faither JUSTIFIED...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    There is no teaching anywhere in the new testament that says christians cannot be lost. If a Christian cannot forsake God and become an apostate, then God has taken away our free will. 1John 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    "Not given the same requirement as those who lived out their faith and had time to study their Bible" First, You are coming from a false premise that God only requires belief only from those on their death beds to be saved. These scenarios you are giving are mans reasoning to get around Gods...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    You teach Christians do lose their salvation because they go back into sin. Now to try and prove the thief was not possibly already saved by John's baptism You say this, This is more contradiction by you. You can't have it both ways Sir. Either you believe and teach others that Christians...

    If you are trying to apply baptismos to water immersion in the name of Jesus Christ? Then give one scripture where that is implied. That is more speculation

    YOU JUST CONTRADICTED YOUR OWN BELIEF THAT CHRISTIANS DO GO BACK INTO SIN. Are you now a believer in OSAS

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Um, what are you trying to prove here? John's baptism was baptizo. All of the baptisms done in the name of Jesus were baptizo Jewish washing were not included in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The writer of Hebrews was teaching Jewish converts not to go back into Judaism. None of the apostles...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Jesus did not save Judas for his sorrow. The fact he saved the thief proves he had GODLY sorrow which leads to repentance, 2Corinthians 7:10. Your speculating about the thief. You cannot prove he was saved at one time in his life. You cannot prove he was not water immersed by John for the...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    This answer contradicts your second phase of salvation. That only those that obey God and keep His commandments are saved. I agree about babies. Why even bring them up. It does not prove your gospel true. Babies are saved without believing in the gospel. Deathbed salvation. If faith alone...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    What an arrogant thing to say to someone you know nothing about! I am well aware of the word baptismos. I am well aware of Hebrews 9:10 Concerned only with foods and drinks, various baptismos, and fleshly ordinances..... You need to go to a Greek scholar and ask him the difference between...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Acts 8. The apostles laying on of hands was never COMMANDED! Water immersion is! Mark 16:15-16 ; Matthew 28:19 That disproves your argument. Second, gifts of the Holy Spirit is not the same as Holy Spirit baptism. You missed a very important point in Acts 8. Simon was saved yet he never...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    The thief on the cross had faith alone? Belief only? The thief had repentance. Godly sorrow for His sins against God. Once a person is saved and then sins, what does God teach we must do? 1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Sir, you can believe all kinds of things on what you think the scriptures say, God says what He means and means what He says. Get in touch with Greek scholars and ask them what baptizo means in Mark 16:15-16. It must be water. Jesus commands His disciples to baptize. Matthew 28:19 Mark...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I don't believe you answered my question. Salvation is to be saved. You keep telling me salvation is obtained with faith alone. So, who gets to heaven by faith alone? Question: Can I be saved by faith alone and go to heaven after I live out my days here on earth?

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    First I have just one question for you. You taught me we are saved by faith only. Salvation ie Eternal life in faith alone. Question: Can I be saved by faith alone and go to heaven after I live out my days here on earth? Second point: Gods grace saves. It saved the Jews that obeyed the gospel...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Apparently Behold is lacking in understanding of what is working righteousness. Psalm 119:172 gives the answer, My tongue shall speak of your word, For all Your commandments are righteousness. God approves of those who work/keep/obey His commandments. Behold? God does not accept those who...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I get the gist of your plan of salvation. Again, You are teaching we get saved without works. AFTER WE HAVE BEEN SAVED WITHOUT WORKS: Now we must be saved by works. OR To stay saved. Sorry Sir, your doctrine contradicts itself. It cannot be both! That is double talk. Either we are saved...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    You just defeated Your belief only and no obedience to God gospel. And I am thankful you are now partially agreeing that the faith that saves us is not belief and no obedience but a faith that obeys! Which is the faith that James preached saves, James 2:24 You see then that a man is justified by...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    That's all foriegn to Jesus gospel. The works in Jesus gospel are not meritorious in nature. No one works themselves into heaven. I kinda of remember you from Christian Forums. You are the one that teaches salvation can be forfeited. OSAS is unbiblical. I'm New Testament Christian if you...
