    The Saving results of the Death of Christ !

    episkopos False, Both saves. His death saved from the penalty of sin, put sins away, His resurrection saves from the spiritual death and gives spiritual life the new birth, and thats because His death put away the cause of death, sin. So its grievous error to say His death doesnt save, in fact...

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    Him Thats correct. Rom 5:10 states that 10 For if, when we were enemies[unbelievers], we were reconciled to God by the death[blood] of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Yes its scripture truth but like I said you cannot receive it False teaching

    If we condition Salvation/Justification based on our faith or believing, as some say of God in eternal election and foreknowledge, that God did see beforehand who would believe on Him, and Justified them based upon that, then that means God Justified us based upon some foreseen grace or goodness...

    The Saving results of the Death of Christ !

    Both Faith and Repentance are the fruit of Christs Death and our reconciliation to Him. All for whom He died have been reconciled to God Rom 5:10 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. So...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    All works are the same, conditions performed by man that makes a difference. BTW you may say what you do like believing isn't considered meritorious, but it is, because you are saying it made the difference in one being saved and lost. Its also boasting and pride. If your supposedly obedience...
