Amen! That salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works "neither at the front door or the back door" (Ephesians 2:8,9) is not hard to understand. It's just hard for works-salvationists to ACCEPT. It's a shame that human PRIDE will not allow works-salvationists to trust in Jesus Christ...

Type 2 works salvation is a term that simply describes the belief that salvation is "maintained by works" which you obviously teach and is a distortion of the grace of God. (Romans 3:24; 5:1-2; 15-18; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; 2 Timothy 1:9 etc..). It's you who tries to make yourself look like an...

Your "initial" salvation nonsense culminates in "type 2 works salvation" which is not Biblical. So believing is a work? Faith is a work? Everything is a work according to your erroneous theology. You might as well not even call faith faith and works works. You basically wrap both faith and works...

You are hung up on a lie. From beginning to end salvation is through faith and is not by works. (Ephesians 2:8; 1 Peter 1:9) Paul does not turn sanctification or holy living into "type 2 works salvation" as you do. In 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul says - But we are bound to give thanks to God...

You are more focused on obedience/works as the basis or means by which we receive eternal life than you are on the finished work of Christ. In regards to Revelation 22:14-15, multiple other translations (ASV, AMP, CEV, ESV, HCSB, NASB, NIV etc..) read, "Blessed are those who wash their robes,"...

You are hung up on the word "Initially" and also on "type 2 works salvation." I seriously doubt there is anything that I or anyone else can say that will cause you to repent (change your mind) and place your faith in Jesus Christ ALONE (from start to finish) for salvation. (Ephesians 2:8; 1...

Typical straw man argument. It's not about how many murders, but the condition of your heart. Now how about a little context. 1 John 3:10 - In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not...

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, we see a similar list of sins and such people who practice such sins (Galatians 5:21) are described as the unrighteous. (1 Corinthians 6:9)

It's interesting that's the only part you focused on and ignored the rest. This is 'descriptive' of pseudo Christians.

Jude is exhorting believers to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints (vs. 3) because certain ungodly men who have crept in unnoticed. Jude further describes these ungodly men as ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. (vs. 19) In...

Absolutely false which I already demonstrated. Elsewhere, the apostle Paul tells us that it is not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.. (Titus 3:5) and in 1 Timothy 1:9, Paul tells us that God saved us and called us with a holy calling, not...

Faith includes trust and the object of our faith in receiving salvation includes Christ's finished work of redemption. It's found and included throughout the Bible where faith and salvation are mentioned. (Acts 15:7-9; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 3:24-28; 4:5-6; 5:1; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians...

Ironic you say? Don't confuse me with the Pharisee who trusted in his own (self) righteousness (which I don't) and looked down on the tax collector and treated him with contempt by comparison. In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, I can assure you that I am not the self righteous...

In Hebrews 6:7-8, we read - For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briars, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. In this...

More 'surface' interpretation of pet verses taken out of context. Now read in Colossians 1:23 - ..if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard.. demonstrates that faith was firmly rooted and established. That is...

Romans 3:24 - being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to...

Written to the Israelites under the law. God's word makes it clear that sabbath observance was a sign between God and Israel: "The Israelites are to observe the sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for...

Amen! From beginning "have been saved through faith" (Ephesians 2:8) to end "receiving the end of your faith--the salvation of your souls" (1 Peter 1:9) salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) Sadly, many "professing" Christians today believe in either type 1...

Notice that - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (vs. 9) is IN CONTRAST TO - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (vs. 8) and - If we say that we have...

Colossians 2:16 - Therefore, no one is to act as your judge in regard to food and drink, or in respect to a festival or a new moon, or a Sabbath day— 17 things which are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.
