Tucker: Joe Biden's VP pick will be the most consequential in history. Very disturbing! :eek:

Amen! In James 2:14, we read of one who says/claims he has faith but has no resulting evidential works (to evidence his claim). That is not genuine faith, but a bare profession of faith. So when James asks, "Can that faith save him?" he is saying nothing against genuine faith, but only against...

We are saved the moment that we believe in/have faith in/trust in/reliance in Jesus Christ for salvation. (John 3:15,16,18; Acts 10:43; 13:39; 16:31; Romans 1:16; 3:24-28; 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9 etc..). We show our faith by our works (James 2:18) and obedience (including keeping the...

The demons may believe “mental assent” that “there is one God,” (James 2:19) but they do not believe in/have faith in/trust in/reliance in Jesus Christ for salvation. In other words, they do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31) and are not saved. Their trust and reliance is in Satan...

Some people jump to the conclusion that John is talking about believers committing certain sins that lead them to spiritual death, but that does not seem to fit the context: 1 John 5:16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him...

It's not about automatic, but it's also not about forced or legalistic for those who are truly born of God. We certainly do. Romans 5:2 - We have access by faith into grace.. Your theory on cooperating with God's grace results in works righteousness and in that case, grace is no longer grace...

It's actually a textbook example of why it's virtually impossible to reason through the Scriptures with a brain washed Roman Catholic. You "re-define" faith to "include" works, which explains why you teach salvation by faith AND WORKS. Man is saved through faith, NOT WORKS. (Ephesians 2:8,9)...

Note to everyone that believeth, not to everyone that is water baptized. Amen! (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) False. The gospel is not water baptized or condemned. That is a "different" gospel. The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is...

You did not prove me wrong. There is no water baptism found in John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who (is not water baptized? - NO) does not believe is condemned already, because he has not (been water baptized? - NO) because he has not believed in the name of the only...

Typical argument made by those who teach we are saved by "these" works (good works) and just not "those" works (works of the law). Romans 13:8-10 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit...

I agree. Good works done out of faith IN CHRIST ALONE. Where did I change the meaning of works or claim that any works are considered good works whether they are bathed in God's grace or not? o_O

The Catholic position on faith and works is clear. There is no misrepresentation on my part. The Roman Catholic church clearly teaches salvation by faith AND WORKS. Period. Works are an essential part of faith "infuses" works "into" faith and which results in faith "is" these works. That is the...

Acts 16:30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Not hard to understand. Just hard for many people to ACCEPT.

I quoted God's word in post #871. ALL OF THE VERSE and I did not simply isolate one part of the verse AND IGNORE THE REST as you did. That seems to be your method of hermeneutics. Isolate a pet verse (or merely one part of a pet verse) build doctrine on it, then ignore the rest.

So you admit that someone before Luther taught faith alone. Thank you! :) The Bible clearly states in many passages of scripture that we are saved through belief/faith "apart from additions or modifications." (Luke 8:12; John 1:12; 3:15,16,18,36; 6:40,47; 11:25,26; Acts 10:43; 13:39; 16:31...

So you interpret John 3:16 "should not perish" as those who believe in Him should not perish, but they still might perish? There are those who stress the word "should" (which is subjunctive mood) in John 3:16 and imply that those who believe in Him "should" not perish, but still might. The...

Amen! (Hebrews 11:6) Yet Catholics teach we are saved by faith AND WORKS. Faith is not apart from hope. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for.. (Hebrews 11:1) You can't have faith without hope. Faith works through love (Galatians 5:6) and the love of God has been poured out into the...

I never said that God is only allowing me to discern His infallible truth from Scripture in regards to salvation. All genuine believers are capable of discerning this truth in regards to how man is saved. The Church, the body of Christ (Colossians 1:18,24) is made up of all genuine...

Faith = belief, trust, reliance and "acts of obedience" which "follow" are "works" and we are saved through faith, not works. (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9) Roman Catholics basically "infuse" works "into" faith (basically re-define faith to include works) and teach...

Go back and read post #871 again and this time remove the blinders. Salvation Through Baptism ???
