    Is believing/faith a work ?

    So anything short of fatalistic determination = works salvation to you? We simply go through life hoping that we are one of the lucky one's that God has fatalistically determined to be saved? No point in preaching the gospel if that were the case. We would just be robots.

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    So God fatalistically determines who will receive the gift of eternal life and who will not and everyone is 100% passive in regards to choosing to accept the gift? You actually believe that? God draws and enables and man chooses and God still gets the credit.

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    A free gift must either be accepted or rejected and not forced and Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption alone and not based on the merits of our works. (Romans 3:24-28)

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Choosing to receive a free gift is not works salvation. By accepting a gift at Christmas time does that mean you worked for the gift?

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Faith is certainly not just another work. Saved through faith, not works, (Ephesians 2:8,9) draws a clear distinction between the two. There are those (works-salvationists) who insist on calling faith a work in order to justify their false gospel of turning faith into just another work in a...

    Another Gospel “faith alone”!

    Man is saved through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is evidenced by works (James 2:14-26). Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of our works. It is through...

    Matthew 7:21 question

    In regards to Matthew 7:21-23, (I will never forget, prior to my conversion several years ago while still attending the Roman Catholic church) I read Matthew 7:22 and was astonished! I remember thinking to myself, these many people accomplished all of that, "prophesied in His name, cast out...

    The thief on the cross misconceptions

    In regards to the word "water" in John 3:5, there are those who would argue that the natural sense of the passage parallels "water" with being born out of a mother’s womb (verse 4) and with "flesh" (verse 6). The first is a physical, literal, "flesh" birth, which is accompanied by amniotic water...

    Denominations that teach only they will be saved

    Beware of any denomination that claims ONLY their church is the TRUE church and if you are not a member of THEIR church then you won't be saved. The Church, the body of Christ (Colossians 1:18, 24) is made up of ALL genuine born again believers/Christians, and is not simply a church building...

    "In Christ": What does it really mean?

    Hearts are purified by faith (Acts 15:9) and we are placed/sealed in Christ when we believe the gospel. (Ephesians 1:13) We are baptized by one Spirit into one body.. (1 Corinthians 12:13) This is Spirit baptism and not water baptism. Spirit baptism is the reality of being placed in Christ...

    John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
