I am saved; but not because I have the works to prove it (while I do have them). It is the attitude of obedience (faith) that saves and not the obedience itself. An attitude of obedience will most assuredly produce obedience. But it is not the obedience that saves but the faith...the attitude...

So, @Ferris Bueller, what do you do with Ephesians 2:9? Have you taken scissors and cut it out of your Bible yet? Blotted it out with ink?

So how is it that you can deny the plain teaching of Romans 3:12 when it is clearly set before you? Do you have some other scripture that tells you that Romans 3:12 is somehow null and void? Does the scripture contradict itself?

Rom 2:25, For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Rom 2:26, Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? Rom 2:27, And...

Thank you brother; that is a confirmation of what I already believe.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (freedom). (2 Corinthians 3:17). I have been ignoring you for the most part; as a matter of fact I haven't even seen your posts for quite a while now. I will be ignoring you again, very soon. I think that there is a difference between...

Certain people can be saved without works; simply by believing. People who are disabled or people who receive the Lord on their deathbeds. I will agree with you that if the Lord gives you a talent to work with, and you hide it in the sand, you will be counted as a lazy and slothful servant and...

No it isn't. You calling me a liar?

Through the obedience of Christ as he lives His life in us and through us (Galatians 2:20). Also, through His obedience in going to Cross; since His blood practically sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanseth us from all sin (1 John 1:7). I think that praying that prayer will...

If you consider what my point of view really is, all of that is really a moot point.

@kcnalp... Did you even go to sleep last night? I was engaging with you till 4:30 in the morning this morning and it seems that you are still going strong!

If he said that he didn't, would you not condemn him as being self-deceived (1 John 1:8)? Yet, it is clear that that verse is speaking of indwelling sin and not practical sins. 1 John 3:9, 1 John 3:6, and 1 John 2:17 speak of practical sins...and if 1 John 1:8 is speaking of practical sins...

There is also the aspect that we must repent of our sins in order to obtain this imputed righteousness.

It is true that if they are cast into the lake of fire, they have no one to blame but themselves.

Just happened to run across your post. In calling other people liars, you are too blind to see that you have three fingers pointing back at you. (Matthew 7:1-5).

Regarding the OP: Rom 5:1, Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Rom 5:2, By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Paul is setting forth a trustworthy saying that is worthy of all acceptation, that Jeremiah 17:9 is the reality and that we should all adopt this as a saying; in order that those who are really bad off morally may know that they are redeemable. Yet, Jeremiah 17:9 is qualified by Ezekiel...

Obviously we receive regeneration and renewal through faith in Jesus Christ alone. And we do not do the will of the Father in order to be saved. However, Matthew 7:21-23 appears to be clear on the idea that if we do not do the will of the Father after we are saved, He will say to us on that...

We are justified/saved by grace through faith apart from works. Romans 4:5-6, Titus 3:5 (kjv), Romans 11:5-6 (kjv), Ephesians 2:8-9. Those who are truly born again (regenerated and renewed) have the love of the Lord shed abroad in their hearts (Romans 5:5). Such a love is practical in...

Only those who were born again of the Holy Spirit (see Romans 3:12).
