1 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | gracefull | 78125 | ||
Hi disciplerami, What do you mean..without the works there is no faith? The scripture says that faith without works is dead. Faith is active not passive.Hope is passive. Faith acted on is works but works do not produce faith. Faith that does not work is not faith. Faith hears the Word then says 'I believe God' and then acts in obedience to that Word. 'By faith in Christ' Here again one hears the Word and believes with the heart(faith) THEN acts accordingly. The acts of obedience are the result of a changed heart, not the heart changing after we act. Faith is HEART BELIEF in which the actions or works follow. God bless, |

2 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 78153 | ||
Graceful, I agree with what you have written. If we believe in our hearts then we will act upon it. God will then see the works which we bring forth in keeping with repentance. This combination is true faith. Belief with out the works is only mental assent. Mental assent is believing the gospel but not committing to it. I can say I love my brother, but if I leave him to starve do I really love him? The same can be said about faith. |
