Many that follow the doctrine of sola fide teach faith is not a work. The Bible teaches faith is a work, a work of God, John 6:28-29. Therefore faith only and no works salvation is proven false. It is impossible to be saved without works. Calvinist teach salvation is BEFORE faith in Christ...

What works does Paul teach do not justify or account us as righteous? Answer, works of merit, earning ones salvation by law keeping, just as the Jews thought they could do in the book of Romans. This is why Paul taught them, Romans 4:2, -For if Abraham was justified by works(earning salvation by...

Faith onlyism teaches you recieve salvation with zero works. That is the false doctrine of sola fide. No one ever was justified by faith and no obedience to God. No works of righteousness.

Romans 4:2-6 is not teaching Abraham was saved by faith only. Paul is teaching Abraham is saved without keeping the works of the law of Moses. The Jews in the book of Romans needed to be taught the law of Moses does not save. Doing the works of the law of Moses will not save Jews just as their...

Just the opposite of what James taught, James 2:24, -You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Danthemailman you teach we are justified by only belief. The bible does not teach this, James taught the only way a man is justified is by faith and obedient works. James...

Amen.

Paul taught the Ephesians that grace, faith and merit is not how man is saved. Paul in fact taught the Ephesians the gospel of Jesus Christ in Acts 19:1-7. Paul did not teach them to just believe to be saved. Paul water baptized them for the forgiveness of their sins, Acts 2:38 ; Acts 22:16...

First the thief on the cross was saved under the old testament law of Moses. He is not how we are saved today under, the new covenant of Jesus' gospel. Therefore the thief is no example or proof of salvation by the gospel of Jesus Christ. His will and testament was not yet in effect because He...

Can man boast of believing in God? His faith saves him, why not boast of faith? Paul is not teaching faith alone salvation in Ephesians 2:8-9. Paul is teaching meritorious works are not involved in salvation in Ephesians 2:8-9. What works can man boast about? Works that have earned him...

I'm having low blood sugar, gotta take care of the needs of the flesh, see y'all later!

I agree with 99% of what you just taught. Except I believe the scriptures do teach that works of righteousness do justify us, James 2:24, You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone? You are correct that my work without Gods grace could never justify me. But if I desire for...

Yes, but OSAS tends to accompany the belief of faith onlyism

. I also don't believe you can know if salvation can be lost from James 2. What it does teach is salvation cannot be obtain without obedience, works

O, I didn't know you believe God speaks to man outside His Holy Word. Many calvinist's think this. I've heard them say, even muslims that may never read the gospel in their lives will be saved. Because God will give them the Miraculous regeneration of the Holy Spirit if they are of the elect...

James teaches if faith is not accompanied with action ie works it is dead, James 2:20. Therefore to saying saved by faith alone. Is to say I'm saved by a dead faith that does nothing, takes no action

Yes eternal life cannot be not eternal. That would be faulty logic. But if you forfeit eternal life then you no longer have Gods grace. Yes faith is an action. I 100% agree with you. Therefore faith is never just a belief. It is always accompanied with an action. Hence James 2::24.

I had a long pointless discussion with a man who goes by the name, Praise Yeshua. I wish now I had never responded to his post. He is a very angry man. He does not believe the book of James is Gods revelation. So I got nowhere discussing how, the Bible must be without error or it cannot be...

Hello, Grailhunter!

The belief that works of righteousness is evidence of true faith and salvation is true. But not for faith alone or OSAS. It is true that a living perfect faith has works, James 2:22. It is also true that a dead faith has no works, James 2:20. Therefore evidence of salvation from faith is a...
