Based on the teachings of Paul - Romans to Philemon

ONLY Christ taught Paul The Gospel that saves us today
Gal 1:
11
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gal 2:2
And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
1 Cor 15:
1
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Eph 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Paul call's it My Gospel, NOBODY else does

What ACTIONS are required by us to be AND REMAIN saved,sealed,justified by That Gospel ?
Titus 3:
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Gal 2:
16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Gal 3:

2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Rom 3:
28
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Eph 2:

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Rom 4:
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Rom 5:
1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Rom 11:
6
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Saved/sealed by faith ALONE, not actions.

Not Fully true.

The BIG PICTURE… involves …
A man
and
God

Establishing a one on one Relationship…
Requires… participation of Both…agreeing by both…

Both / Each “IN CONTEXT”…
Must fulfill “their PART”… (Requirement…)BEFORE
A BOND is Established.

Faith, Belongs TO GOD…
Faith is a “GIFT”, God gives TO MEN…
For?
MEN, choosing TO “HEAR” the Word of God.

MEN, can, Hear, choose to Believe what they HEAR…
Or Walk AWAY, Reject what they Heard is True.

Did they “Receive” “Any of Gods “Gift of Faith”? Yes, a smidgen.

FAITH, is Gods Gift, given, little by little.
Hear a little… receive a Little Faith.

Even, men who Hear ALOT, shall receive “ALOT” of Faith.

Can A man, Hearing “a LITTLE” or “Hearing A LOT”…(having received “A Little or A Lot” of FAITH…)
* Continue… following, hearing?
Yes.
Faith increasing?
Yes.
* Walk Away Rejecting?
Yes.

Can the man with “Faith Alone” …(in ANY Amount)
Do the ONE Works, of “Confessing TO the Lord God, his True Heartful BELIEF, and Receive, Gods Faithful Promised Gift of Becoming MADE “Sealed”, unto ONLY the Lord God?
Yes.

Can the man, who Rejects BELIEF, in Gods Gift of Faith, Become MADE “Sealed” BY, and ONLY unto “The Lord God”
No.
What is such a man Called?
* enlightened? Yes
* sealed? No
* unsealed? No
* yoked with The Lord God? No
* saved? No
* unsaved? Yes
* damned? Yes
Called… Fallen FROM FAITH
Yes.
Is such a mans “Measure of Faith given him…
NOW “MOOT”, of no POSITIVE consequence?
Yes.

On the Teaching of “Faith Alone”…
It is in Regard to…
Gods Gift of Faith…
Mans Receipt of Faith..
Mans (FREEWILL) to Keep his Gift.
Mans (FREEWILL), to Fall Away, reject his Gift.


Glory to God,
Taken

pryrw It's true that we are saved by Gods grace,through faith. All of which God bestows by his choice of us,not our choice of him.

He knew us before the womb. He wrote our name in the Lamb's Book of Eternal Life,before the creation of the world.

That is what God teaches in his word.

Prior to our salvation we were dead in our sins, unable to understand the things of God.
Which doesn't change unless God calls us to him and changes all that.

It is then that we are able to do the work God leads us to do. Because prior to his calling us,we could not serve him.
As he told us,we were unable to understand the things of God.

Now we do. And that's how we do his will now that we are able to hear his leading us into his service.

We do this because God saved and sealed us with his power first. Our service to him does not retain our salvation for us.

Our salvation ,as God says, was his free irrevocable gift.

Who here labors to keep a gift their family member gave them?

Not one.

Good work on our part doesn't keep us saved.

They're proof we are saved.

God forgive those who dare twist Gods truth in their worldly commitment to insist we save ourselves.pryrw
