Subject: How Does Baptism Save? |
Bible Note: Greetings Joe, I have said that he had a faith that was incomplete without works. His works united with His faith and then faith was complete. Not before. "Did his faith cause his obedience." His incomplete faith led to his obedience. We've discussed on this forum the faith that all men have, ought to have, because of the evidence in creation. Each man is without excuse should he leave this earth without being reconciled to God. Abraham had this faith and he acted upon it. But as I have said, faith that 'is about to obey' isn't what God credits as righteousness. The person is saved who obeys God. Jesus is the author of salvation to everyone who OBEYS Him. - Heb.5:8,9 You don't know the nature of Abraham's faith prior to his obedience no matter how much you press it. Disciplerami |
