    The salvation journey.

    it is a work of man as a man is baptizing you. Your baptized by the hand of man, As apposed to allowing God to baptize you. Or being washed by the hand of God. Its amazing how paul describes the spiritual circumcision of God in Col 2 as the act of the baptism of the spirit. No water involved, no...

    The salvation journey.

    Sometimes we just have to look at reality. You merit a wage or a reward by work Salvation is a gift. When Jesus came, He did not work to merit anything. He worked to serve and love people. That is what he shows us is true works of obedience. He also attacked the jewish religious...

    The salvation journey.

    Yes, IF YOU ARE DOING WORKS TO MERIT SALVATION. That is not saying ALL WORKS are works of merit Sadly. You have an issue like mary in the catholic thread of having comprehension issues as you can not comprehend what people say, or just blatantly twist what they say to suit your own needs..

    Faith is not merit Even jesus said, it is the work of God we believe in the one he sent We are saved by grace period. Not works We will only accept the gift God is offering us through faith in his work, his promises and his mercy and grace. Faith comes by hearing,m and hearing by the word of...

    The salvation journey.

    Water baptism is a work of merit if it is being done in order to receive, or merit something in return, Namely salvation, or eternal life, or justification, whatever you want to call it Mark 16 is questionable. Is it spirit baptism, or even is it truly scripture. the fact Jesus did not mention...

    Justification By Works

    He said exactly what I said he said. So why shoudl I read it again. It just continues to prove what I said He asked the question. CAN THAT FAITH SAVE HIM. If he is already saved, the question is nonsensical. Because they would already be saved. Justified means to be declaired righteous (the...

    You follow what your men say don’t you? You showed me what the men of your church think, Not what the Bible says. Nope. You got water stuck on your brain Water can mean spirit (rivers of living water, but this he spoke of the spirit) Water can mean the word (washing of water by the word)...

    Is a dead faith living? Can it save you? Thats the question James asked to a select group of people.

    Justification By Works

    Again I think he answered it They were hearers only not doers. We should not, as teacher or pastors assume everyone in our congregations or listening to us on radio or youtube, is saved. Even though we are talking directly to the church of believers.

    Apology? Here is your question.. James 5:14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord You asked who I called when people were sick You did not ask who I went to to interpret the word for...

    Please read your own post. I have highlighted the part which proves in this context. James was speaking to people who only had a claimed faith.

    Justification By Works

    No offense taken brother! It was addressed to the 12 tribes your correct. But nothing there states everyone addressed is saved. James himself called their faith a claimed faith. 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him...

    Justification By Works

    Until you repent and confess the people James spoke to had no faith period. They had mere belief. Then there is nothing more to say.
