1 | Grace AND? | Matt 6:20 | BradK | 120384 | ||
Rowdy, You're almost getting it my friend:-) If you would, re-read what Tim wrote you. It is succinct. You said "But I'm convinced like you that we can't possibly earn our way to Heaven but I'm also convinced we can't go to Heaven unless we've done everything in our power and truly gave it our best effort to be fruitful and productive in the Lord's vineyard." This still sounds like you're stradling the fence- maybe we need to substitute "should" for "can't" when you speak of going to heaven. It's a done deal if I'm IN CHRIST! I am motivated to good works BECAUSE of His grace (Eph. 2:10,Titus 2:11-12). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | Grace AND? | Matt 6:20 | Rowdy | 120387 | ||
It's only a done deal if we're actually drawing nearer to God as He draws us nearer to Him. Remember the guidance from 1 John; we must maintain that fellowship in God's light AND our fellow brethren in God's family. Also, we must die or meet the Lord's return with a completely guilt free conscience. If we're in prayer constantly or as much as humanly possible and repent of our shortcomings as much as possible, then of course God's Grace will cover us. I hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy PS: Do you have a response to the other points in my recent posts? Nos 120368 and 120278 |

Rowdy, I'm afraid you're completely miising the point. you are back to saved by grace, kept by works:-( You're mixing the completed work of salvation with the PROCESS of santification. We need to revisit the definition of salvation. We'll dialog a bit more later. I've got to go, my friend. BradK |
