Bible Note: Praise the Lord Makarios,i've been fairly busy of late, but i want to thank you for taking out the time to respond to my query on 3/06/02. Ephesians 2:8,9 or Hebrews 6:4.. are both excellent scripture to substantiate why we have nothing to boast about as for as meriting salvation. We are all borne of sin and shaped in iniquity desperately in need of a savior. Thank God for Jesus the Christ. I'm not debating that point. I'm focusing more on ACCOUNTABILITY and what constitutes genuine faith. Again, Realizing that we are not saved by works, i truly believe that faith without works( corresponding action) is dead. According to scripture you see that Abraham,the father of faith, his faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, his faith was perfected. I believe that by exercising our faith,that we grow in faith.(please James 2:14-26) To merely make a mental assent to the word of God, and not commit to doing the word of God, is dangeroulsy deceptive to the individual professing to know Jesus the Christ. please see.. (1jn 2:2-6)(mat.7:15-27)([Ps. 6:8.] My point is, after professing to have accepted Jesus the Christ, as Lord and saviour, does one who willfully continue to sin without repentance, and then happens to die in his sin, still go to heaven. Those who profess ETERNAL SECURITY,seem to be saying that no matter what sin you commit your sins, past,present and FUTURE are already forgiven.(please see 1 John 3:4-15) God Bless ya, please reply. |
