That's actually the Amplified Classic translation that I cited. Bible Gateway passage: Ephesians 2:8 - Amplified Bible, Classic Edition Typically, those who teach salvation by works and NOSAS are not fans of gotquestion.org So in that article that you cited from gotquestions.org, faith is...

More eisegesis. We do not "keep" (guard, observe, watch over) the commandments in order to receive the Holy Spirit, but because we have received the Holy Spirit. 1 John 2:3 - By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. So what is the act of obedience that causes...

Oh the irony.

Does Ephesians 2:8 say faith plus something else? Plus works? NO! It's faith "apart from additions or modifications" so it's faith (rightly undrrstood) in Christ alone.

In 1 Peter 1:9, we read - "receiving the end of YOUR faith--the salvation of your souls.

Not all, but only those who have been saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8)

Your eisegesis clears up nothing. Why is it so important for you to believe that faith is a gift, but not salvation?

What problems? “A.T. Robertson was one of the greatest scholars in the seminary’s rich history, perhaps the greatest of all,” said seminary historian Gregory A. Wills, who is also dean of the school of theology. “He did more than any other to establish the seminary’s reputation for scholarship.”...

To clarify, I was referring to the law of Moses. In regards to doing God's will in order to receive salvation: John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. In regards to observing...

I absolutely believe the scriptures. I just don't believe you and who are you to judge the power of the Spirit in my life or my faith? What makes you think you are so special? Your battle is with self righteousness and 1 John 1:8 continues to remain your achilles heel - If we say that we have no...

That's exactly what Jesus meant. In context, Jesus is discussing false prophets and is contrasting a good tree that brings forth good fruit with a bad tree that brings forth bad fruit. (Matthew 7:15-23) Jesus never knew these people, never entered or made His abode with them and you still think...

In Matthew 7:23 notice that Jesus said He NEVER knew these many people. These many people in verse 22 were not true converts. Works-salvationists (especially type 2 works-salvationists) typically misinterpret the verses you cited above.

Amen! Salvation is not probation. Eternal life is not temporary life. Jesus is the door. He is not a revolving door.

Doubling down on your false accusation? You are bearing false witness. Where is your integrity?

Amen! Yet sadly, there are those who wish to remain under the law and even teach "salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works."

I'm still waiting on an apology from GEN2REV for calling me a liar for saying that Michiah-Imla teaches sinless perfection.

The apostle Paul warned us about such people: Acts 20:28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves...

What part of faith is the assurance of things hoped for.. (Hebrews 11:1) do you not understand? Who else died on the cross for our sins? Christ alone. The Father testifies of the Son. To believe on him that sent me is to believe on Christ. Jesus is God. A distinction without a difference...

So according to you, only those who have lived a sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) from the moment they are born again to the end of their life on earth is a child of God and everyone else is a child of the devil? Those...

Has nothing to do with the traditions of the Pharisees/commandments of men. It's your leaven of sinless perfection that we need to be aware of. (1 John 1:8-10) People who teach sinless perfection are all about exalting themselves and condemning others. Reminds me of the Parable of the Pharisee...
