You said, Did you respond or reject. Either way, it is something you did.

Jesus said, to believe in Jesus is work. It clealy it is not in the set of works that Paul spoke against, but it is work. John 6:27 "Do not work for the food which perishes, but (work) for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father...

You said you responded. That is something you did. And you say doing something you did is works. So were you saved by works.

Yes, 1 John 4:7-21

So then it is something that you do, even if that is as simple and straightforward as accepting the offer.

Joh 6:45 It is written in the Prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me-- But the key there is whom God did foreknow. The verse just previous to that one tells us that. Rom 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all...

So then is your responding something that you did or did God do that for you too? If it is something you did, is that work you did?

Well aren't you the lucky one? That must really make you proud that God did that for you. If God did that for you, one has to wonder why He hasn't done that for everyone. Perhaps you could explain that to me. Why did He do all that work for you and not for the untold numbers of others?

We are not saved by works of the law. But too many read that as anything we do is a work of the law. That is simply not true. There are a lot works that are not works of the law. Believing is but one of them. Believing is something that we do. It is a work. Jesus said it is a work. But...

You think God is doing the believing for you? That's really weird. They weren't asking what God would do? They were asking what they should do. And Jesus told them what they should do. If you do not understand that you are in real trouble.

Yes, bet your story straight. Joh 6:27 "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." Joh 6:28 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work...

The fact is that Jesus said to believe is a work. Clearly such work is not the works that Paul spoke against. You need to get your story straight. As it now stands, you are confused about it. Also, Paul spoke of the retribution to those who do not obey the gospel (2 Thess 1:5-8). Similarly...

Biden and the democrats are the ones establishing tyrannical laws, like cars that we can buy, the energy we can use, the tools we can use to defend ourselves, the COVID masks we are forced to wear, the COVID isolation we are forced to endure, the medicine we are pemitted to take, gasoline we are...

The difference is whether it is God who saves or whether it is the act of being baptized that saves. They are not the same thing at all. The RCC and some Protestants believe that it is the act of being baptized that takes away sin. That is the reason for infant baptism. They treat it as a...

Then obviously he was not a believer who was baptized, both of which are conditions. Salvation comes with conditions. Believing in God is the preeminent condition, but not the only condition.

But that is not what it says. They asked Jesus a question. Jesus answered their question. Their question was what work could they do. Jesus told them the work that they could do was to believe. If that were the case then none would be lost. The command is to be baptized in the name of...

Joh 6:28 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?" Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." Clearly the ones doing the believing are the "we", the people asking the question. It...

Baptism is not work of the law. Believing is a work; but not a work of the law. Mar 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved.....

The we are the ones who were justified. Those who were justified are the elect; not vice versa as you would claim. And yes I can read.

Christ died for the whole world. It is those who believe (and are baptized) that are saved. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith.... Grace is God's part; faith is man's part.
