Brother, the FAITH-ONLY based believers will reject any teaching that teaches "Faith and Works" go hand in hand, even rejecting the very Scriptures that teaches that.
Yes they cannot be separated(impossible) .
The faith only, is based on Christ's finished work only, and not on any work we could do. There is nothing we could do to contribute to His finished work .Either it provides all the grace necessary to pay for every violation we commit against Him or there is no grace.
Getting Saved, only requires Faith and that is it.
Being Saved, requires us to LOVE ONE ANOTHER, which IS Works.
You as it seems are adding to His finished work of faith.. Getting saved only requires the Faith of our Faithful creator. His faith is not without works. And that is it.
But like i said, the FAITH-ONLY based believers, will reject any teaching that includes any works. period. Blind they are, and the ditch is their destination.
The faith only that are saved
by the "faith of Christ" means we will not be found with any righteousness of or own selves that could come from doing good works .Good works are the expected. But when we do deny Him in unbelief (no faith) He cannot deny He has paid the full eternal wage of any sin.
Second Timothy informs us of His faithfulness.
It is a faithful saying: For if we be "dead with him" we shall also "live with him": If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:
if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we
believe not, yet
he “abideth faithful”: he
cannot deny himself. 2Ti 2:11
Like David said in the Psalms. If He would take into account even one trespass, seeing if a person denies Christ in unbelief in the least, he is guilty of the whole law. Who then could stand before His throne of mercy and receive His gift of grace? We come as we are (guilty) falling short of His glory
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
If thou, LORD, shouldest
mark iniquities, O Lord,
who shall stand? But there is
forgiveness with thee,
“that thou mayest be feared”.I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for
with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from
all his iniquities. Psa 130:1-8
All of His iniquities do not mean up until the last one five minutes ago and therefore Christ must be subjected to public shame as if one work of His faith as a labor of His Love was not enough to pay full wage(eternal) of sin.
Better things accompany salvation called redemption. Like a newly created spirit that will never die. And a new heart to give us a desire to His will as He works in us to both will and perform His good pleasure all the days of our lives..
The other option is clear; crucify him over and over again unto repentance every time a person violates one of His loving laws. He will not forget your work and labor of love, which we have shown toward his name they accompany His salvation.
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Heb 6:4-10
