The moment that we place our faith (belief, trust, reliance) in Jesus Christ alone for salvation we are saved. It’s by grace through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9)No, never faith alone. It is through Grace alone by faith, but never alone
What about "through faith apart from works"?Never by faith alone. I reject that doctrine
Do you understand what believers mean by salvation through faith (rightly understood) in Christ alone?Never by faith alone. I reject that doctrine
Yes but without works you can end up in the lake of fire. Matthew 25:41The moment that we place our faith (belief, trust, reliance) in Jesus Christ alone for salvation we are saved. It’s by grace through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9)
Nevertheless we are saved "not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:9 (kjv))Yes but without works you can end up in the lake of fire. Matthew 25:41
Yes a disabled person is not required to perform works or a little child, but able followers are required to do works clearly.Nevertheless we are saved "not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:9 (kjv))
If Jesus gives you a talent to go and trade and produce with and you hide it in the sand, you will be counted as a lazy and slothful servant...and may even be cast into outer darkness.Yes a disabled person is not required to perform works or a little child, but able followers are required to do works clearly.

Good works come in obedience to Christ along with Salvation. The works talked about in Scripture were works of the law which grants Salvation to no one.
Faith that produces no works at all is not genuine faith, but an empty profession of faith/dead faith. (James 2:14)Yes but without works you can end up in the lake of fire. Matthew 25:41
Apparently you don't understand. Saying that we are saved by faith in Christ alone does not exclude God's Grace. Grace is God's part and faith is man's part. It simply means that we are saved the moment that we place our faith (belief, trust, reliance) in Jesus Christ alone for salvation apart from works. (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9 etc..).I reject any Calvinist doctrine are any that say faith alone, we are never saved by our faith alone. Yes I understand the error of Protestantism. While I say Salvation is in Christ it is never in faith alone but by God's Grace alone through faith
