    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    No my friend. We focus on God. and his work in us. Not on us and our works. God has raised us up and sat is in heavenly places based on his work. Our works of love come out of him, He is the one who perfected us. he is the one who is sanctifying us. Turn to God turn away from religion and...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    even though in english they appear to be the same word. they are two different greek words. 'The judgment in romans is a "BEMA" judgment, that is a judgment where athletes get rewards for their work..A non believer will not be rewarded or lose rewards for their work. The one in Rev is a sarx...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    You focus to much on works my friend. Focus on God and works will follow.. There will be many peopl ein heaven who we questioned if they were saved or not. and there will be many in hell which we thought were on fire for God. We are told to do service in secret. and we will be blessed from...

    Paul's Gospel

    You have to much focus on good works and not enough forcus on Christ and his work. Non of what you are trying to show matters. there are far to many passages that say it is not how good we are. not how many good deeds we do. Not anything we do that we are saved. When people start focusing on...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    But in context. it is in essence true. Jesus was sent not to condemn the world. but that it might be saved. Whoever recieved him in faith. is given eternal life. and they shall never perish. (john 3) Jesus said but as many as recieved him, to them he made sons. (john 1: 12) Jesus said whoever...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    Yes it is the same. 1. The jew claimed salvation would not be granted unless one is circumcized first. 2. The baptismal regnerationalist says salvation will not be granted unless one is baptized in water first. Circumcision and water baptism are both called works.. Both were commanded by God...

    Paul's Gospel

    Once again You can spin it however you want. Your teaching a merit based works salvation. If a person was truly saved, Truly born again, Truly made into a new creature by Christ, they would have done those things. the fact they did not shows they did nto have faith. No one will be saved...

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    Please note to those trying to add water baptism to be completed before eternal life is granted. 1. It is no different than jews adding circumcision to the gospel 2. It denies grace, and attempts to make salvation a merit based operation. (even though they deny it) 3. They commit blasphemy, as...

    Paul's Gospel

    You can spin it however you want it. When you say that any work. or motivation behind any work affect our eternal destiny. You are teaching salvation by works. So I suggest you stop attacking me and claiming I am misrepresenting or falsly accusing you. and own up to what you are teaching. The...

    Does Grace replace the law?

    You can not fulfill the law.. The law requires perfection. Cursed is the one who does not oney every word. Grace gives us power to be saved through him, and gives us power to grow in christ. The law condemns.. It will never save

    Does Grace replace the law?

    Grace As someone said earlier. It means literally unmerited favor. 1. It is a gift that is given to someone, who did not merit or deserve it 2. It is paid in full by the giver. 3. The one who gives gives freely. He asks for nothing in return. (its not a downpayment) 4. It is given out of love...

    Does Grace replace the law?

    LAW vs Grace. What is the law? God gave the law to moses. In giving it. He made the children of Israel confim an oath. Deuteronomy 27:26 ‘Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the words of this law by observing them.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ” In this one strong statment...

    Paul's Gospel

    We are not arguing. Your works. if done to save yourself. will keep you out of heaven. Remember jesus words. When the workers confronted him, Did we not do all these works in your name. Jesus will say depart for he never knew them. I will be rewarded for works. or lose rewards due to lack of...
