Are you going to keep dodgeing or answer my question: As a Christian do you do works? If so, WHY?

I see what your saying. I shall clarify. Faith is a belief. You have to work (read/research Scripture to see if it is true) to obtain faith. It just isn't given to you. Even after you have faith (belief) you still have to work on that belief (possibly by defending your belief) otherwise you...

I never cut out Ephesian's and have previously said we are saved by grace. I agree with ALL of Scripture. YOU DON'T. :( We are saved by the grace of God and our faith leads us to baptism and works......Just like Scripture says. How can you look at it in context and then disagree with it???? o_O

Never said faith was the same as works. I will say it again and repeat Scripture: Faith without works is DEAD.

If faith alone saves us then why do works? YOU WROTE: "faith PRODUCES works" sooooooo would you like to take that back or can we finally agree they are, as I said before, two side of the same coin: you can't have one without the other. Faith=works

You have NO idea what kind of person he was BEFORE he died and Scripture doesn't tell us. He was a thief. He sinned. But that does not mean he didn't do good things during his life also.

Doesn't cancel out James 2:24. Stop cutting out passages from the bible you don't like. The ONLY passage in the bible that has "faith alone" next to each other is James 2:24.

Doesn't cancel out James 2:24....stop cutting out passages from the bible you don't like.

That doesn't cancel out James 2:24 ;) I don't like to cut passages out of the bible like you do.

We don't know since scripture doesn't say. It is presumed by biblical scholars that he obtained salvation by faith AND grace.

If faith alone saves us then why do works?

Yup....that's it.....but that is not what is happening here. I QUOTED you sooooo how can it NOT be what you said???? o_O

YOU WROTE: "faith PRODUCES works" sooooooo it must be the dumbest thing you ever wrote then also.

I don't think you know the definition of the straw man argument.

If faith produce works then they are one in the same. Faith without works is dead....just like Scripture says. They are two sides to the same coin. You can't have one without the other is what you appear to be saying? If faith alone saves us then why do works?

Hold on kiddo. Is it grace that saves us or faith? As a Christian do you do works? If so, WHY?

I presume you are talking about post 1182? I can only presume that because you are being coy. In that post you suggested that "true faith is accompanied by evidence of that faith". What is the evidence of that faith David? WORKS!!! Sooooo you can't have one without the other....Just like...

Put it in context instead of just disagreeing with no evidence.....Patient Mary

Baptism follows belief for one must first believe and then be baptized. Scripture says baptism now saves you. Your false doctrine says it doesn't. I believe Scripture; not you.

If you agreed with Scripture (James 2:24) you wouldn't adhere to the teaching of faith alone.
