Subject: What exactly must a person to be saved? |
Bible Note: 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 |
