Confession is a work. Is is something a person is to DO, which indeed is a Work.
It is your understanding what i am saying that is erroneous, brother. As long as a person has a sound mind, they can confess. Confessing is something that a person DOES (Works) regardless if it is out loud, or in prayer to ones self. It is something a person DOES.
Again, you are assuming things, and not understanding what i have said. i never said water baptized, that is something you have assumed that i was meaning. Please click
HERE to see an article concerning which baptism i was actually talking about.
Many verses teach Faith to be Saved. These are all True.
Many verses teach Other things to be Saved. These are likewise all TRUE. Such as repenting, confessing, obeying Jesus, Loving One Another, Forgiving One Another.
You have have all the Faith in the world, but if you fail to forgive someone, then the Father in Heaven will NOT forgive you, and it doesn't matter how much FAITH a person claims to have.
Many verses teach Faith to be Saved. These are all TRUE, but that does not negate, or make void, the rest of Scriptures. If a person is picking and choosing which verses they will believe and which ones they have to interpret away, then the TRUTH does not reside in a person that does that.
lol, this is what i have been teaching from the start, which you have adamantly bucked against me.
Faith - Works = Dead. This is exactly what is bolded above by your own statement, you say this. What do you think i have been talking about all along? Many claim to have Faith. How can you tell if they have an empty profession of Faith (as you call it)? By their lack of works, EXACTLY as you say above.
How then do you disagree with
Faith + Works = Full/complete profession of Faith, which SAVES.
if Faith - Works = Empty profession of Faith then it is most logical to say
Faith + Works = FULL profession of Faith.
What do you think i have been teaching all along?
Faith Saves a person, but if they do not have works, EXACTLY like you say above, they have a empty profession of Faith, which does NOT Save a person. Therefore Faith without works is Dead. So likewise it is also True that
Faith with Works is ALIVE. As i have been teaching all along
Faith ONLY is not enough, even you yourself testifies that if a person has Faith only without any works is a empty profession of Faith. So then we are in agreement then?
Agreed, if it does not have Works with it, i agree 100%
Again, i 100% agree with this statement. Nobody can be Saved by Works ONLY and that live a sinless life 100% of the time. This statement is True, nor have i said or believe otherwise.
