We who believe in the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints in no way profess a dead faith, nor are we antinomians...yet when it comes to soteriology we do believe we are saved through the belief of the death of Jesus Christ for our sins and His resurrection. This is the entirety of the gospel for salvation.
What we believe about works is it is the natural progression and out working of being born again. These works do nothing to secure or maintain our salvation. These works are accredited to God as working in and through us.
We do not believe that sin will disqualify any born again believer for the free gift of salvation. All sin is deliberate, yet repentance is the natural working of God in us through the conviction He places on us. We believe as His children we are chastised but not condemned

More verses claimed presumptuously by another who presumptuously believes that Dead Faith can obtain that which only Living Faith can obtain: Eternal Life.
I'll take that as, you have no answer. ha.

The devils believe and tremble, ATP, but they will be lost because they rejected God as their Lord to be obeyed.
Uhh no. The devil was never found to begin with and will never be found.

I've told you over and over that I do believe faith without works is dead. Either you're not listening or you don't care what I'm saying. That's not good.

God will have no trouble condemning the "many" who enter the broad gate to destruction for in the Day of Judgment, false ideas will be laid bare for all who in willful ignorance embraced them, bro.
Matt 7:13-14 NIV - In regards to Matt 7, this passage refers to salvation in Christ. Jesus is describing two gates, the gate to death Job 38:17 NIV, Psalm 107:18 NIV, Isa 38:10 NIV, Matt 16:18 NIV and the gate to heaven and eternal life Matt 7:14 NIV, Matt 22:14 NIV, Luke 13:22-30 NIV, John 10:9 NIV, John 14:6 NIV, Acts 14:27 NIV...
(Matt 7:13-14 NIV “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.)
The word "destruction" refers to the spirit of the antichrist...(2 Thess 2:3 NIV Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.)
Also, the word "perish" refers to nonbelievers...(John 3:16 NIV For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.)
