1 John 1:6 - If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. Walking in darkness is...

There is no faith only salvation (per James) - empty profession of faith/dead faith that 'remains alone' - barren of works. That is not genuine faith but a bare profession of faith. Not to be confused with faith that trusts in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, is alive in Christ, created in...

It's sad that I would stoop so low to make false accusations? o_O Pot calling the kettle black. Oh the irony. :rolleyes: Already have. You are teaching we are saved by a faith that is dead You need to stop making up definitions for the word justification. You are inserting your ideas into...

More confusion on your part and also more slander. I have thoroughly explained the relationship between faith and works and the gospel truth to you numerous times. If the truth is what you are looking for then you will find it in the multiple posts that I have shared with you. If accommodating...

By cultivating the virtues listed in 2 Peter 1:5-7, believers can be sure that God has called them and elected them. These fruits will confirm it. Make sure you have been called and elected. Romans 8:30 says, And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he...

You remain in unbelief.

It's works-salvationists who interpret passages of scripture out of context and end up with work-righteousness mumbo jumbo. I almost forgot you are a KJV only fanatic. I already previously covered Romans 11:21-23 in a different post. Try and keep up.

Here is yet another passage of scripture that works-salvationists use in a vain effort to try and support salvation by works. In Romans 1:5, we read - Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name. The NIV reads - the obedience that...

So true Biblical faith does not result in obedience according to you? Works-salvation is nonsense. We obey the gospel by choosing to believe the gospel. Romans 10:16 - But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Perhaps you are obeying a...

Faith is not just another work in a series of works in a quest to obtain salvation by works. Campbellites love to pick on Baptists. :rolleyes: John 6:29 is simply a play on words by Jesus when he said, "This is the work (singular) of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent," when He...

Your eisegesis, bad semantics and flawed hermeneutics result in a "works based" false gospel. It's painfully obvious that you are throughly indoctrinated into CAMPBELLISM. :(

I already have but here it is again. In Matthew 12:37, we read - "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." This is because our words (and our works) reveal the condition of our hearts. Words/works are evidences for, or against a man's being in a state...

True Biblical faith results in obedience. All genuine believers are fruitful, yet not all are equally fruitful. Faith doesn't produce obedience in order to become true Biblical faith but BECAUSE it is true Biblical faith. No contradiction on my part at all. You just don't understand and neither...

More confusion on your part that culminates in salvation by faith "and works." In Jude the words "the faith" (Greek tês pisteôs) in this context means the apostolic faith, the New Testament apostolic body of doctrines, which would include the gospel of Jesus Christ and what did the apostle Paul...

Until we get to the end of the creature we will not get to the beginning of the Creator.

We have been over this before and your straw man arguments don't hold water. Man is saved through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is substantiated, evidenced by works. (James 2:14-24) Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His...

Now there is something we actually agree on. :) I will never forget on the CF site where you told LGW: "There is a point of copying and pasting, and then there is copying and pasting crazy large walls of texts for multiple pages to the point of ridiculousness. A lot of copying and pasting here...

Salvation by works is NOT what the parable is teaching as I already throughly explained in post #1197, but apparently, the truth just went right over your head.. sigh.. It's not that we must have works in order to become saved but that we WILL have works IF we truly are saved...

In other words (according to you) we are merely initially saved by God's grace without works through faith but ultimately saved by putting away sin, doing good works, keeping oneself unspotted from this world, living holy etc.. So how much sin must you put away? How many good works must you do...

Faith only per James = empty profession of faith/dead faith that remains 'alone' - barren of works. (James 2:14) Not to be confused with faith that trusts in Christ 'alone' for salvation and not in works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) That is the true doctrine of sola fide. We are justified (accounted as...
