I'll leave it with you to work through the many posts showing you the importance of our probation and the testing of our faith.

I already understand the verses in those many posts apart from the lens of your eisegesis.

Sadly, I was wondering the same thing.

Lets hope you have the garment

I am trusting exclusively in Christ for salvation. What about you? So far all I'm hearing is that you are trusting in your performance/works for salvation. If you were standing at the gates of heaven right now and Jesus Christ asked you why He should let you into heaven, what would be your exact answer? The answer to this question will demonstrate exactly what you are trusting in for salvation.

I am trusting exclusively in Christ for salvation.

But you can stop trusting right and still be saved!

What about you?

God will show mercy on who He will show mercy - He is not my debtor.

So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. Romans 9:18

Will you tell Him who He saves?

Do you expect to go to heaven?

The meek shall inheret the Earth! Matthew 5:5

People do not understand true faith

nor do they understand that when you trust someone and they do not give you a reason to not trust them. You never stop trusting them

you only stop trusting sa person that never lets you down when you never really trusted them to begin with.

Authentic faith in Christ is firmly rooted and continues and is not some shallow, temporary belief that has no root, produces no fruit and withers away.

and now a friendly reminder to all .
But what if the jesus we been following aint been THE JESUS of the BIBLE , but rather
a mixture of truths and mens doctrines that has led them unto another jesus .
MANY THERE BE which have went down that road and many , many more are fast joining them now .
They have come to the love god to the love jesus , which is neither LOVE OR GOD OR CHRIST .
But they DONT KNOW THAT .

 

[gpresdo]

In regard to "faith without works is dead" James does not mean that faith is dead until it produces works and then it becomes a living faith, and the works are the source of life in faith. That would be like saying that a tree is dead until it produces fruit and then it becomes a living tree, and the fruit is the source of life in the tree. Something that is dead cannot produce anything.

*It takes a living faith to produce works (Ephesians 2:5-10) just as it takes a living tree to produce fruit.*

So, James is simply saying faith that is not accompanied by evidential works (bare profession of faith) demonstrates that it's dead. If someone merely says-claims they have faith, but lack resulting evidential works, (James 2:14) then they demonstrate that they have an empty profession of faith/dead faith and not authentic faith.

LOL you new age religion folks are alive and well.

That is not scripture.

As the apostle Paul stated in 2 Corinthians 11:4 - if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!

I'm not part of new age religion so there is no need for slander. You need to consider the context when reading "faith without works is dead" in James 2.
