1 | Does faith require maintenance? | NT general Archive 1 | Galileecr | 34978 | ||
We all must appear before the judgement seat of Christ.1 Cor 3;10-15 The issue is rewards not salvation.Faith requires expression and development. 2Pet 1:1-11,1st Tim 1;18-20 and Col 2;8 Clearly pasivity is a clear and present danger. Note the Judgment seat passages carefully. Finally Phil 2;12-13 In other words work out what God has worked in.We are saved thru faith.God gave us the ability to express that faith so we cannot boast.But to say God has faith for you is unscriptural.We can neglect(not reject) that faith and still be saved...but only as one going thru the fire. Food for thot....no? |

Galilee; So if I read you correctly, you believe faith shouldn't be passive, but rather pro-active in each believer. If thats so, then I would say I agree. In Christ zach† |

So far its me,you,Paul and Peter! Seriously brother...we do agree. To me its not a matter of "legalism" but simply responding to the Holy Spirit's prompting in our lives.We can be "all that we can be" in Jesus but that 1st Cor 3;10-15 passage clearly indicates "loss" in heaven.I mean it says it..."he shall suffer loss but still be saved." So we may not be "all" that we can be....how? By neglecting NOT rejecting our faith.Nice meeting you brother. |

Galilee; Thank you my friend for the quick response. You made a comment which forces me to ask another question. You stated: "So we may not be "all" that we can be....how? By neglecting NOT rejecting our faith." I ask the following question not because I disagree with your comment, but I had a verse concerning "neglect" that came to mind. Let me post it now: Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; You mentioned "neglecting our faith" The above verse mentions "neglecting salvation" My thoughts are: faith and salvation differ. by grace are ye saved through faith. Eph 2:8 so once grace has come to us, we then are saved, but, salvation is through faith. My question is: If we "neglect faith" are we at the same time "neglecting salvation" also? Nice to meet you also brother Thank you :) In Christ zach† |

Hi Zach, Thats why I made the distinction between "neglecting" and "rejecting".The Hebrews were in danger of "rejecting" God's grace.I know the word "neglect" is used but it is not the same word/or meaning in english.Strange isn't it? We can use "neglect" but it means something different than the author of the Hebrews meant.O well its all greek to me....So to recap this........When I said "neglect" I meant something quite different than the context of Hebrews....BUT.... we should not take loss of rewards lightly....Im off to Church....have agreat Lord's day! |
