2 | The Bible is Right,they believe in Him? | Gen 12:1 | kalos | 57622 | ||
I assure you I have seriously studied the doctrine of salvation. I do not need you to tell me what the grace of God is. "take all of the things that the bible saids will save us and list them all together"? I just listed some of the many things that DO NOT save us. Can you read? Have you read previous postings on this subject? All of WHAT things? We are saved by grace ALONE through faith ALONE in Christ ALONE. There is no list of things that will save us. If there is something we can or must do, something we must add to our faith, to gain salvation, what would that be? Over a period of time we have ruled out surrender to the lordship of Christ (this is not a condition for salvation); baptism (this has been discussed here ad nauseum); and repentance (a false addition to faith when understood as a prerequisite, requiring the cleansing of the life FIRST in order to be saved. (See page 1950, MacArthur Study Bible.) So what must we DO to be saved? Keep the commandments? Obey the law? AMPLIFIED Romans 3:20 For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law. For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character]. AMPLIFIED Romans 3:28 For we hold that a man is justified and made upright by faith independent of and distinctly apart from good deeds (works of the Law). [The observance of the Law has nothing to do with justification.] So whatever it is that we must do to be saved, keep our salvation or add to our salvation, it is not surrender, baptism, repentance, keeping the law, good works or holding on and holding out. If one finally is saved and makes it into the kingdom of God it will be because God held on to that person, not the other way around. GOD DOES THE SAVING. GOD DOES THE KEEPING. SALVATION IS OF THE LORD. |
