No, If so then Noah earned favor with God for building the ark. Every commandment that is obeyed would be meritorious if obligation=merit. Do you think a direct commandment from God is optional? Or are we obligated to obey? Was it optional for Noah to build the ark for God to save him?

Wrong, Abraham was not justified, made righteous by God because of mental assent. He was justified, made righteous by God because His faith was an obedient faith. Your faith and no obedience salvation clearly contradicts James 2:24, and Paul, I have already showed, Galatians 5:6 For in Christ...

I taught James was NOT teaching meritorious works, post #82, post #82 Now you are claiming you did not bring up meriting salvation. You did! This is post #83 You did teach the opposite of what I taught. Since you do not know the meaning of the words you are using. Like condign: synonyms...

If Calvin could post his ideas on your critique of his Hermeneutics like John 3:16. He would agree with you, He would denounce his own doctrine, He would admit he is a false teacher, He would beg us to not believe his lies, He would admit that he served satan in this life not God, He...

Wrong, Paul and James condemn merittimg salvation. I have answered this before you even asked this question, Did you read my post to you? Post #82. Nowhere did I mention merit. You added that I idea to James. I taught you James never taught works of merit, he taught works of obedience. You...

]Hello, nice to chat with you, Paul in fact never taught the modern 1600's doctrine of the re-formation of the catholic church. As I have already showed, Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Paul taught...

Paul condems meritorious work, as a prerequisite for salvation, Romans 4:2 ; Ephesians 2:8-9. I never said merit plays any part. I said the opposite. Works of righteousness ie obedience to God is the faith that Paul and James teaches saves us. It is the kind of faith that Abraham had, James 2:24...

Hello, nice to chat with you, Paul in fact never taught the modern 1600's doctrine of the re-formation of the catholic church. As I have already showed, Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Paul taught...

Agreed, until you see the many contradictions in your interpretation of scripture. It is of no avail. 1Corinthians 12:13 is water immersion. Go get ahold of multiple Greek scholars and ask hem what the word baptizo means in 1Corinthians 12:13.

If you are correct when you teach Paul is teaching Abraham is not JUSTIFIED by his works of any kind. Then the apostles contradict themselves, James 2: 14;20-24 True faith evidenced by works, But wilt thou know O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our faither JUSTIFIED...

There is no teaching anywhere in the new testament that says christians cannot be lost. If a Christian cannot forsake God and become an apostate, then God has taken away our free will. 1John 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in...

"Not given the same requirement as those who lived out their faith and had time to study their Bible" First, You are coming from a false premise that God only requires belief only from those on their death beds to be saved. These scenarios you are giving are mans reasoning to get around Gods...

You teach Christians do lose their salvation because they go back into sin. Now to try and prove the thief was not possibly already saved by John's baptism You say this, This is more contradiction by you. You can't have it both ways Sir. Either you believe and teach others that Christians...

If you are trying to apply baptismos to water immersion in the name of Jesus Christ? Then give one scripture where that is implied. That is more speculation

YOU JUST CONTRADICTED YOUR OWN BELIEF THAT CHRISTIANS DO GO BACK INTO SIN. Are you now a believer in OSAS

Um, what are you trying to prove here? John's baptism was baptizo. All of the baptisms done in the name of Jesus were baptizo Jewish washing were not included in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The writer of Hebrews was teaching Jewish converts not to go back into Judaism. None of the apostles...

Jesus did not save Judas for his sorrow. The fact he saved the thief proves he had GODLY sorrow which leads to repentance, 2Corinthians 7:10. Your speculating about the thief. You cannot prove he was saved at one time in his life. You cannot prove he was not water immersed by John for the...

This answer contradicts your second phase of salvation. That only those that obey God and keep His commandments are saved. I agree about babies. Why even bring them up. It does not prove your gospel true. Babies are saved without believing in the gospel. Deathbed salvation. If faith alone...

What an arrogant thing to say to someone you know nothing about! I am well aware of the word baptismos. I am well aware of Hebrews 9:10 Concerned only with foods and drinks, various baptismos, and fleshly ordinances..... You need to go to a Greek scholar and ask him the difference between...

Acts 8. The apostles laying on of hands was never COMMANDED! Water immersion is! Mark 16:15-16 ; Matthew 28:19 That disproves your argument. Second, gifts of the Holy Spirit is not the same as Holy Spirit baptism. You missed a very important point in Acts 8. Simon was saved yet he never...
