Are you going by spiritual pride, self-righteous private judgement from scripture, or the humility to hear the teaching of Christ through the church of His apostles?
Obedience of faith: rom 16:26
We must be taught by Christ who is the way, the truth, and the life. Jn 14:6
Instructed: Lk 1:4 acts 8:31
Teach all nations: Matt 28:19
He who hears you (the apostles) hears me: lk 10:16
Hear the church: Matt 18:17
Church is the pillar and ground of truth: 1 Tim 3:14
Christ and his church are one, the church is an extension of Christ through the whole world and all time: acts 9:4
“I am saved”! Really?
matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matthew 10:22
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Mark 13:13
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Heb 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Romans 11:22 – God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness
Colossians 1:21-23 – holy and blameless, if you continue in the faith"
Hebrews 12:22-25: "we shall not escape if we turn away from Him"
Hebrews 4:1-3, 9-12: "strive to enter the rest of God"
Hebrews 6:4-9 – those who became partakers of the holy spirit and fell away
Hebrews 10:23-29, 35-39: "if we sin willfully", "if anyone draws back".
Matthew 24:13: He that endures to the end, the same shall be saved
Hebrews 3:4-6: Holding fast our confidence firm until the end
Matthew 24:13: "But the one who endures to the end will be saved"
1 John 2:24-25 – "if what you heard from the beginning abides in you"
2 John 8-9 : to "everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ
2 Peter 1:5-11 : "Make every effort to supplement your faith"
Philippians 2:12-16: "work out your salvation with fear and trembling"
Phil 1:29 called suffer
1 Timothy 6:10-16: the love of money
Galatians 5:2-4 "Severed from Christ"
2 Timothy 2:11-13: "if we deny him, he will also deny us"
James 5:19-20: the wandered brother
Some will abandon the faith
1 Timothy 5:8: "he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever"
1 Corinthians 5:5: "so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord"
2 Peter 2:21 "It would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness"
Jude 1: "Turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness" - a much relevant warning
Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
1 Cor. 9:27 ....Lest I myself might become a castaway
Romans 13:11
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
So salvation by “faith alone” is completely false and impossible!
Faith and baptism: Mk 16:16 Jn 3:5 acts 2:38-39 1 pet 3:20-21 Acts 8:36-38
The doctrine of “the Bible alone” is really just the spiritual pride of self-righteous private judgement!
Jn 15:1 abide in me, 15:5 apart from me you can do nothing!
Humility and obedience of faith !
