Simply believing in the existence of Jesus Christ and in certain facts about Him does not make you a believer (in the Biblical sense of someone who is saved). You still don't understand what a genuine believer is. The power is in Jesus' name and not in the person. Did Jesus validate their...

It's actually you who keeps making the same mistake by misinterpreting the same scripture and there is a reason for that. (1 Corinthians 2:14) NOWHERE does Paul say we are saved by faith and works, but you are more interested in what Catholicism teaches than you are in what scripture actually...

This Mormon woman personally told my wife and I about her experience. My wife has RLDS and LDS relatives and I’m familiar with their doctrines.

Your saved by "these" works (good works) and just not "those" works (works of the law) argument has already been thoroughly refuted in posts #3380 and #3381.

So you believe these many people in Matthew 7:22-23 were believers, even after Jesus said to them, "I NEVER knew you: depart from me ye that work iniquity." Is that descriptive of a saved believer? Absolutely not. In regards to these unbelievers prophesying, casting out demons and performing...

I don't ignore verse 10 and you should not ignore the fact that after Paul said we are saved by grace through faith, not works (in which you cannot dissect good works from the Mosaic law) he goes on to say that we are saved FOR good works and NOT BY good works. I have no confusion about works...

"Not of yourselves" means not of works. Salvation by grace through faith and works is how you muddy the waters. Notice that Paul never saved we are saved by faith and works, and you can't show me where he does. The Bible clearly states in many passages of scripture that we are saved through...

Paul clearly said saved through faith, not works in Ephesians 2:8,9. It doesn't get any clearer than that. Who said Paul was warning believers in Galatians 5 and 1 Corinthians 6 that their sins can result in them not inheriting the kingdom of God? In 1 Corinthians 6:9, we read - Do you not know...

Paul preached salvation through faith, not works, and not salvation through faith and works. (Romans 3:22:28; 4:4-6; 5:1; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; Philippians 3:9; 2 Timothy 1:9 etc..).

Salvation by works implies that you teach we are saved by works, along with faith. The implication is not that you believe we are saved by works apart from any kind of faith whatsoever, so I'm not lying. Did you know it's a sin to slander? If you believe that we are saved by works (even if it's...

It's your entire argument that collapses because if we were saved by works (even if it was just in part) then we could take credit for those works. Then we would be saved based on the merits of Christ's finished work of redemption + our works. Either Christ did it all or else we did some of it...

The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To "believe" the gospel is to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of...

This is absolutely false. Faith = belief, trust, reliance. Obedience which follows = works and we are saved through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) You basically make no distinction between faith and works and end up trying to "infuse" works into faith and the end result is trying to "shoe...

People in Texas are anticipating the mark of the beast through a vaccine chip - ID2020. Recently saw this on the news.

Some Christians believe that there will be a vaccine chip ID2020 and it will be the mark of the beast - https://hnewswire.com/bill-gates-in...uction-the-mark-of-the-beast-id2020-alliance/ Just saw this on the news last night. Yet other Christians believe it's a conspiracy theory and those...

There are genuine Christians and there are "nominal" Christians. There are genuine believers and there are make believers. We need to always be aware of the wolves. (Matthew 7:15; Acts 20:28-31) God expects spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say salvation is through faith "and works." The Bible clearly states in many passages of scripture that we are saved through belief/faith "apart from additions or modifications." (Luke 7:50; 8:12; John 1:12; 3:15,16,18,36; 5:24; 6:35,40,47; 11:25,26; 20:31; Acts...

There are people who teach sinless perfection. I’ve had conversations with such people on various Christian forums over the years.

Good grief! :eek: Joining satan is over the top and was not the plan. I can see there will be no reasoning with you. Moving on from this hornets’ nest.

These exhortations do not support sinless perfection either.
