41 | What exactly must a person to be saved? | Bible general Archive 1 | inhisname | 79652 | ||
"With all due respect?" Have I not discussed the Bible? Have I not referenced Bible? Isn't Romans 10 verse 9 the plan of God to save? Did I not say that. God does it all, do you disagree? You did not answer my question "Abraham got righteousness by faith alone. Where are the works there?" by saying "Resulting from his saving faith". That means nothing to me, maybe you can explain it better. You cannot tell me that I'm saved without a work from first to last and then start telling me it's all about works. If you now expect a disciple to obey then you expect works. My understanding of Romans is that salvation is by faith only until death. I don't think you mean to suggest different. My humble opinion is you are misunderstandin me and caught. |

How could God not be pleased. If Cain does bad doesn't that give God a chance to show his power? Each man is molded by the Potter. The questions are rhetorical because Cain only did what he was made to do. God is the one and only Sovereign. I hope that you will see the error of this and thank you for trying. | ||||||

You misunderstand. A Christian is known because of his actions. So obvious is that. Does God save me before I do a work? Yes. Is salvation from first to last day by faith alone? Yes. Clearly you bark up the wrong pole. Abraham got righteousness by faith alone. Where are the works there? I think you are misunderstanding and caught. If I did the work then the glory would be to me. I don't want that. blessings inhisname |

That's obvious isn't it? This is a proof text to show that man is extremely vile and dead since he was born. Man is unlike any other of His creatures being with the disposition to do only evil. This PROVES why study is not important. I think you asked about ALL SCRIPTURE? It is from God, every word, but it is useless to the unelect. This is the way it is preached. Order of salvation is like this. Lost, Holy Spirit baptized, Saved. Then if you want to study you can but it's not necessary. Holy Spirit baptism takes care of that. God does only the works that He wants. He did not make all of us to be Paul? I don't think so. Does God give me the right understanding of this passage? |

imuvhim -- don't worry about it because he only misunderstands what I say. Did I say that I don't study? I think I said I don't NEED to. Study is useless according to God until you are saved. I was saved without study. Before you have Holy Spirit renewing power and knowledge the Holy Word is like pages in a foreign book---1 Corinthians 2:14. It's stupid. So salvation comes first and then the book is beautiful. But the Holy Spirit baptized are promised tongues of men and angels. Study is hard work and saving is not involved with works so it's not necessary. |

47 | What exactly must a person to be saved? | Bible general Archive 1 | inhisname | 79571 | ||
"To be technical about it, Jesus instituted the New Covenant at the Last Supper." To be really technical, he only wrote His will during this time of his life, but it went into force at His death. Hebrews 9 veses 15-17 says, "For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. FOR A COVENANT IS VALID ONLY WHEN MEN ARE DEAD, FOR IT IS NEVER IN FORCE WHILE THE ONE WHO MADE IT LIVES." If you deny this then I've got nothing else to say to you because it is clear. About the works you like to emphasize, God does them and not man. If they come, they come because God does them. No sense trying to do them. That's human effort. If they don't come then God didn't elect that person. God is glorified in both. You like to mention what God does and leave out the Philippians 2:13 which proves my point. "Why do you think all the New Testament writers instruct Christians to obey?" Because the word obey means believe and God gives me the belief. God tells me to work and He does the work. People talk about works and baptism but you have to admit if they don't do them then God didn't want them done. He only cares about faith which He gives as a gift. But emphasizing passages about obedience puts pressure on me to do, then where is the glory to God? That's all I can write. |

That is for everyone who doesn't get Holy Spirit baptized. When you get Holy Spirit baptized then God speaks to you and you don't have to prepare beforehand. It will come to you. Everyone got Holy Spirit baptized in Acts 2 and they spoke of the things of God. They did not have to study. The verse you mention is for backup just to confirm like Paul went to the Apostles just to confirm that he was speaking truth. I'm against those who preach works salvation. They always emphasize what lost man has to do. No, all that counts is what God does. And He did it all at the Cross. Does that help you? | ||||||

Oh, I thought before the Cross was Old Testament. But maybe you know something else. Hebrews 9 shows the Old in force until the Cross. About the ruler, he wanted to go to heaven but walked away sad. Was that because he did not obey Jesus? You quote passages of works and shouldn't. All that matters is faith and what is said. The jailer didn't have to do a thing but believe. I want you to be careful not to emphasize works. If a person does the sins you reference then that is not them because God won't let the sanctified do those things. No true Christian will lie, cheat, steal, murder, commit adultery. Because their nature is not the old nature. A Christian who does such things is obviously not a Christian and has never been a Christian. Don't you agree? You talk that faith must do works to be genuine, but I was saved by a non-genuine faith? Forbid it that a working faith be needed. If I need to obey, God would make me. I just have faith which God gave me. I did nothing for salvation. So why tell people to obey? That takes the glory from God. Do you not agree that Romans 10:9,10 are the most important verses in the Holy Scipture? You are good to respond. inhisname |

"Be diligent to present yourself approved..." How can you say this? Romans 10 verse 8-10 doesn't say you have to study, I don't think. Philippians 2 verse 13 says God does it all. Just let the Spirit teach you. That's what the Holy Spirit does. Don't have to study. Otherwise what's the baptism in the Holy Spirit for? Romans 10:9,10 doesn't say a thing about studying the Bible. "Not of works that any should boastt". inhisname |

I am new here so hope I do this right. Could Cain 'do well'? I've heard that God is the Potter of Cain. inhisname |

I read your question with interest and wondered why you ask what a person must do to be saved. Did Jesus tell the young ruler to do anything? Yes, but that was old Testament. Jesus was emphasizing the necessity of obedience before the cross. After the Cross the only thing you have to do is open your mouth and confess Jesus before men and you also must believe (Romans 10:9,10). You also have to tithe and pray, but that's all. We probably could be saved if we only knew that verse and none others. About the Catholic church I don't see that in the Bible. inhisname |
