My works were not for my salvation, they were for my love for Him. "If you love Me, keep my Commandments." Your men have lied to you Charlie. Your works are for your salvation. ONCE AGAIN, here is the truth from the mouth of Jesus about doing good works and how it effects your salvation if you...

You've got to get this right, Mary. Rom. 4:3-5 "For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the...

Immersion is not the only meaning of baptizo. Sometimes it just means washing up. Thus Luke 11:38 reports that, when Jesus ate at a Pharisee’s house, “the Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash [baptizo] before dinner.” According to Mark, the Pharisees “do not eat unless they...

He will know my water baptism was to publicly confess His name for the salvation that took place in my heart, and that I have added nothing to my faith in Him. At no place and at no time does Scripture ever say that baptism is a public confession. However, Scripture does say that baptism saves...

Well, Mary, when I see the Lord, He will know that I have placed my total faith for my salvation in His work on the Cross and His resurrection/ His work not mine! He will know that anything I have done as far as works were because I love Him and want to obey Him, not for my salvation, That is...

Thanks DJT. The Church teaches that baptism is a necessity, so it appears we agree with each other on that. I see you are unable to provide any verse(s) on HOW (immersion, poured, sprinkled) we are to be baptized or that we are not to baptize infants, so I guess I won't be joining your...

If you can show me the passage(s) in Scripture that give clear instructions on the does and don'ts of baptism that your denomination adheres too and backs up what you just said, I will join your denomination! Patiently awaiting your evidence.....Mary

To be like you, a Protestant, means one thinks they can read Scripture, come to their own "truth" (interpretation) and that "truth" is just as valid as any another Protestants "truth". Each one thinking their "truth" is THE truth. Therefore, we can logically deduct that: God is not a...

Hello Robert. The demons have just as much faith (James 2:19) as you and me that He is the Son of God and our Lord Saviour . Were demons "motivated" to feed the poor, help the homeless etc?

Jesus emphasized: John 14:15 “If you love me, keep my commands. Ummmm, and Paul also said: Gal. 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love. Rom. 2:6 He will render to each one according to his works: If YOU believe...

What did Paul say happens when we do the works for the wrong reasons? Works are good and will be accomplished through the believer, but for what reason? That reason will determine if your faith is acceptable or unacceptable. We are no longer under Law, Marymog! Best to figure that out now...

1500 years and counting. I'll leave you Catholic folk alone now. Nice dodge Charlie. What did Jesus say happens to those that do good works Charlie?

Totally disagree. The very first Christians were all that became Christians whether they were atheist, pagan, agnostic or Jew. So they were NOT all Jews.

Ummmm....There was a "hierarchical line of men". The Apostles were over everyone else....everyone under them were not their equeals. The Apostles appointed "elders" to lead various churches. The members of those churches were not of the same heirachy as the appointed elders or Apostles...

OK, if it is the good works of the Catholics that they enter into heaven, then let the Catholic stand on that foundation when they meet Christ. I will stand on my faith alone in Christ for my salvation, with my works a gift to Christ. First off, Scripture NOR The Catholic Church teaches that...

Not true Charlie. James literally said faith without works is dead. That means if you don't have the works....your faith is DEAD! Your faith means NOTHING. Which means faith + works = salvation. Which is what our Lord taught 2,000 years ago: ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit...

Completely and utterly and provably NOT TRUE. Paul did not say that works have no part in our salvation. He said works of the LAW..... I now see where your confusion comes in. You keep misquoting Paul and leaving out the most important word: LAW

Charlie.....Paul says that faith for our salvation is apart from works OF THE LAW. If you are going to reference or quote Paul....quote him correctly. yet we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ...

Yup, I agree, there is no contradiction. They are both talking about different works. Paul, work of the laws, and James work of good deeds. Mary

Charlie, It's not one or the other (Paul vs James), it is both! It appears you and I don’t disagree about the primary role that faith plays. Paul teaches that justification comes by faith. If you look carefully at Paul’s writings, you will notice that he never says that our righteousness comes...
