1 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 78176 | ||
James 1:22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. James 1:23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; James 1:24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. James 1:25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. James 2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. |

Friend, don’t be fooled by the book of James the works come after salvation not before. If ones nature has changed so will his life and the works will be automatic; works are a result not a means. Grace does all the work and it works it’s way out of the believer. Ephes. 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we (believers) should walk in them. A pig is a pig because of his nature; you can work and clean him up all you want and even put a nice little bow on it but it will return to the mud every chance it gets because it didn’t get a new nature it’s still a pig at heart. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. A man isn’t a new creature because of his works, he is a new creature because of his position in Christ. God the Father places individuals in Christ by grace through faith in his Son: Not by any form of works, should some dare to boast about or anything they have done like baptism, good work, walking an aisle, the list is a mile long. Anything that a person cares to do other then trust in the finish work of Jesus is not grace but works. There is nothing that we can do that will impress God! The only thing the God is impressed with is what his precious Son did for us. Those that try to do anything to add to the saving work of Jesus will not come under his protection of saving grace because if they did it wouldn’t be grace it would be earned. It is not 99 percent Jesus and 1 percent us. It must be 100 percent trust in Jesus and believers zero or they won’t be counted as a believer! If people don’t understand this they better get on their knees and do a lot of praying for wisdom before it’s too late. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved!!! CDBJ |

James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. James 1:22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. Rom 10:16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." Rom 2:8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. Heb 5:8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. Heb 5:9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 1 Pet 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 2 Thess 1:8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. |

Dear Sniper, CDBJ has warned you not to be fooled by James when all you did was QUOTE it. You offered no commentary, but only allowed the inspired writer to speak. Also, may I add to something you posted? This passage: "Rom 10:16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" Literally says, "who has OBEYED the GOSPEL...?" Very good post. I agree with you and since you only quote Scripture, God is in agreement with us. Why would anyone warn you of being fooled by James when you were quoting James? Amazing testimony! I choose to obey the Gospel. Jesus says if you love Him you will obey His commands. Well, I obey His commands so I must love Him. And He knows it and He loves Me too. They can set up their straw men all day long and they can knock them down, but they can't touch you when you only speak the truth. Disciplerami God bless you, Disciplerami |
