Conditional Salvation

[JesusIsAll]

"shall do" doesn't mean "might do" or "ought to do" -- it means will do & you can count on it. the One who has known the end since the beginning is the One who said this.

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
(John 14:10)

even Christ said that it isn't Him who performs the works He does, but the Father that dwells in Him.
in the same way, it is not me that works righteousness that is worked through me, but the Living One in me.

Sort of implies one must have the Spirit of Christ in the first place, you've got to suspect.

in the same way, it is not me that works the righteousness that is worked through me, but the Living One in us whose righteousness is shown in us, through us, by the working of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and lives, renewing our minds, empowering and prodding us to the things preordained for us to do.

I have no problem with that ....here are some more shall...that we can count on
[SUP]16 [/SUP]He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
[SUP]18 [/SUP]They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
