It IS a big deal. It's very important to understand the difference. If we did, we would't have all these "works" threads because the difference would be understood. It takes some theology because Paul used the terms interchangeably, but they ARE very different.

WORKS. Looks like works are an important component in being saved... If one wants to be honest. Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. James 2:14-17 - What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man...

Are YOU having trouble with Ephesians 2:10?? You like the word GIFTS. Don't you like the word WORKS?? You certainly do not have a problem with the word: SARCASM.

P.S. I agree with everything I posted and what you said about justfctn. Justification is a one time... Sancitification is ongoing... Glorification is what we are after death.

Ah. I see. So the problem is with the word works. You think works is something someone does to save themselves. NO. Works is ANYTHING you do to behave as God would want you to. It's what you do when you're not sitting back on your couch doing nothing for the Kingdom. If you work before...

Good bb. My being born from above showed me how imperfect we are.

Did you read all the posts on Sanctification? No? Why not? Pretty scary stuff, isn't it?? Too bad it's the truth.

Find out about the Kingdom of God. You want to remain in the Kingdom? You have to deserve to remain.

Oh. And BTW, I guess your above post means you're as perfect as you're ever going to be. You must be really pretty perfect and no further effort is needed by you!!

Well. Let's see. YOU say works are not necessary. SHE says we should give a drink of water to the thirsty. To me it sounds like she's NOT agreeing with you...

Part IV PLEASE NOTICE THE LAST SENTENCE. Question: "What is sanctification? What is the definition of Christian sanctification?" Answer: Sanctification is God’s will for us (1 Thessalonians 4:3). The word sanctification is related to the word saint; both words have to do with holiness. To...

Part III Sanctification is the normal state of the Christian. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are jointly interested in us, that we attain unto this grace. Our unity with the Godhead is incomplete without it, so also is our unity with each other; “For both he that sanctifieth and they who are...

Part II What Is Sanctification? Scripturally, the word sanctification has three meanings: First, separation; second, dedication; third, spiritfilling. Webster’s definition of it is as follows: “1. Sanctification is the act of God’s grace by which the affections of man are purified, or...

I understand H. Richard. God must do it all for you. YOU have no part at all in getting yourself the prize, or reward, which is heaven BTW. Regarding Sanctification: You posted 1 Corinthians 6:11 Now compare that to: 1 Thessalonians 4:3 2 Thessalonians 2:13 In fact 2 Thessalonians says that...

Well Pia, My last words to you. To get the gift, you have to deserve the gift. God doesn't just give the "gift" (which is salvation, BTW) to just anybody. Starting right back at Genesis.

Whateva. Lata is Later in New Yorkese. Adios is Spanish for good bye. Addio is Italian for good bye.

How could you thank her when she speaks against everything you've posted?? No answer really wanted. Just pointing something out.

Looks like works are part of faith. Giving a glass of water to someone is a work. Also, you should find out what the reward is. You sound a bit confused. Because one must believe first in order to understand. Adios.

The Kingdom starts here. Do you believe there's no afterlife?

Could you understand the O.T. this way?: God revealed Himself to the Hebrews. From that time on, they attributed everything that happened to God. Even what was not from God.
