Subject: Works in the Christian experience? |
Bible Note: Joe, I agree that sanctification always accompanies justification. God 'sets you apart' when you are 'made right with Him.' Scripture is pretty clear on this point - 1 Cor 6:11. Yes, I agree with James - true saving faith will result (if given time) in works but they are Christ's works. But I am not Reformed, I am a new creation in Christ. God didn't reform me. He crucified my 'old man' (not my father) with Christ, and caused my spirit to be born united with Christ's Spirit. My confession has nothing to do with Westminster (that I know of). And I don't think that I am a dispensationalist. Nor am I a Calvinist or Armenian. I'm AM a little frustrated with this forum's tendency to try to stick everyone into nice, neat little boxes :) but, nonetheless, if we can get past the labels, we will find many things in common if we adhere to Christ alone and sola scriptura. In Christ, Bill Mc |
