    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Yes I can simplify the gospel unto salvation in a Biblical, scripturally accurate way. First, James point in James 2:19 is faith with no works is an example of faith alone. James is condemning faith and no works as dead, without worth. Just read the very next verse in context. James 2:19-20 You...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    No, no earning anything in salvation period. Danthemailman likes to use straw man arguments by misrepresenting what I believe and teach. He makes the mistake that most all sola fide followers make. Grouping all works of every kind as meritorious before salvation. Then magically changing there...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    James uses the demons as example of faith only and no works, James 2:19 You believe there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe(faith alone) and tremble. Faith alone exists but only in the negative in scripture, James 2:24.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Because they are Gods works not mans. The confusion is caused by not understanding that the Bible teaches different kinds of works in the scriptures. Does Gods work save us? Colossians 2:12, Yes. Then to say the gospel is faith and no works is unbiblical. We know we are saved by the works of...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    You are not following what I am telling you. You teach Acts 2:38 is all there is to obey in Jesus' gospel. Acts 2:38 does not even teach faith in Christ. Acts 2:37 shows they had faith in Christ. My point: you must go to other verses other than Acts 2:38 to learn the whole gospel of Jesus...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    More misrepresentation by you and Danthemailman. I teach we are not saved by meritorious works salvation. I do believe we are saved by working the works of God, John 6:28-29. This is the same kind of works James teaches justifies, saves us, James 2:24. So no, I did not contradict. Did James...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    What? Yes I teach salvation in Jesus' gospel is never by faith only and no obedience. I have never hidden what I believe. You twist what I teach into works of mens merit and belief save. Jesus taught we are saved by an obedient faith never faith without obedience. Matthew 28:19-20 Teaching...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    How does God save us in baptism? Does His gospel teach it is done directly by God? Or does God command men to baptize men in order for God to work His saving power on us in baptism? You teach man plays no part in this baptism to be saved. Why did Jesus teach that men are to do the baptizing...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Your statement, "works salvationists just don't get it". Is also a misrepresentation of my beliefs. I do not believe I save myself apart from Gods grace. It is not mans works that save, Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches this as a Biblical fact. It is the works of God that do save us, Acts 10:35 But in...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    You intentionally misrepresent me. You tell others I believe mans works save. I do not believe what you accuse me of believing. I believe Jesus and what He taught in His gospel saves, Mark 16:15-16. I know that Gods work save us. His works of salvation as one being baptism doth also now save...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    James asks the question if faith alone without works of obedience can save us? James 2:14. Another contradiction. Saved by faith without works(obedience) you said. But then you say "but faith is never alone" (without works). Your definition of saving faith contradicts itself Sir. If true...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Danthemailman, you admit genuine faith has works in your quote above. Now you teach genuine faith has no works in the quote below, Now you contradict yourself and teach the opposite that genuine faith has no works. You cannot have it both ways Danthemailman. This is double talk.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Your definition of saving faith is full of contradictions. Just as you have taught me before that salvation has zero obedience to Gods commandments to be saved. Then you contradicted yourself and said to be saved we must obey the commandment to believe in Jesus, 1John 3:23-24. You contradict...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Trusting in Jesus is trusting what He taught is true, Mark 16:15-16. John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that Heareth My WORD and believeth on Him who sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but has passed from death unto life. Saving faith is a living...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    We cannot be saved without works. The works of Jesus Christ save us, John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest Me to do. Jesus saves us by the work on the cross. We are saved by Gods works.

    The salvation journey.

    The baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is water immersion. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, repent and let everyone of you be baptized(baptizo) IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for the forgiveness of sins: and you shall recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. Christ's baptism is water immersion.

    The salvation journey.

    Galatians 3:26-27 For as many ov you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. The word baptized here is baptizo. It is water immersion in the Greek language. You can say it is not a million times. It is what it says it is. You missed the point of why I brought up the great commission of...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    You just said it again. A faith that is "(barren of works)" is not genuine faith according to you. Then you contradict your first definition of true saving faith by saying, "Not to be confused with genuine faith that trusts in Christ alone". You cannot have it both ways Danthemailman. Genuine...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    I'm not implying what you're implying. You teach Acts 2:38 is all that must be obeyed. Did you miss the fact that faith is not mentioned in Acts 2:38. My point is Acts 2:38 cannot be all that one must obey because it does not mention faith! Acts 2:37 mentions faith. Therefore Acts 2:37-38 is...
