Well NewB, shall we sing it with Little Richard?

Bop bopa-a-lu a whop bam boo
Tutti frutti, au- rutti
Tutti frutti, au-rutti
Tutti frutti, au-rutti
Tutti frutti, au-rutti
Tutti frutti, au-rutti
A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boom.


And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

Note that fruit includes to souls won to the Lord.

One of the famous fruit passages is John 15.
Tell us now, snaggle-tooth truthfully:
Do you believe this one?:



16 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that
your fruit should abide (verb = meno = abide, remain):



They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have
remained [verb = meno = abide, remain] with us: but
they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.
what you have shown is you should go and bear fruit....nowhere does it say faith bearing fruit....so what is your point ...?

You will never understand as long as you trust in your works......they do sell glasses where you live right?

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and quit trusting in your ability to earn your salvation....you have no concept at all about spiritual birth.....and the fact that no work can bring eternal life as it is faith that SAVES one's soul from hell....and WORKS are the product of one that IS ALREADY saved and already POSSESSING eternal life.....

Open your eyes before you end of cooking because of trusting into Cain-ology as HE OFFERED THE WORK OF HIS HANDS and was REJECTED.....Abel's offering was accepted because it pointed to BLOOD AND FAITH as opposed to works!
all you have to do is show me your faith without works....you have so much faith without works show me one...I will show you my faith by my works....

See, here is your problem...you assume a lot about me and what I do or don't do slice......Faith saves period and I HAVE NOT SAID that one will not do the work and or have works...so...keep trusting into your own works and abilities and I will rely upon Jesus and his faith for salvation......SEE, we are not to BRAG about what we do or don't do...So can I assume you stand up at church and list all the things you have done that week for Jesus...and in doing so, you have your reward of men.....???

brother all I ask is for you to show me your faith without works...you say faith saves James asks...can faith save...so even James would probably like to see your faith save without works...it is not bragging... I asked....and it is not what you did ....it is what you did not do...since it is faith without works.....show me your faith without works....show me how you were saved by grace through faith...without works

Look...it is clear...salvation is based upon the FAITH OF JESUS which you do not seem to understand....I have never said that a saved child of God will do no works...period...the difference between you and I is I believe that works are the result of genuine saving faith and not tied to the aspect of being saved....

faith-->saved-->justified-->sanctified-->works

faith-->saved-->justified-->sanctified-->works
so work is the result of faith and it has nothing to do with being saved...so you are saved by grace through a faith that has no work a dead faith....show me that faith without works....show me your dead faith and how it saves you...

what you have shown is you should go and bear fruit....nowhere does it say faith bearing fruit....so what is your point ...?
NewB, I can't believe you missed the point. The point is that persons who trust Christ as a result of evangelism are themselves fruit; & that passage says that the fruit abides, remains; thus they do not ever stop being saved.

NewB, can you stop ducking the question & give a straight answer?

Do you agree that the order is

1) sinful man with no good works,
2) man trusts Christ as Savior (faith)<
3) man is then born again & saved;
4) saved man then does good works.

The order is not:

1) good works,
2) salvation.

I do not agree with your order....I see no obedience in there...
1 Peter 1:1-3King James Version (KJV)
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

[SUP]3 [/SUP]Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,


A sinful man hears the gospel .....believes the gospel then obeys the gospel and is saved by grace through faith...you want to be saved by believing what you believe...we are saved by obeying(doing) what we believe...

so you are saying gentiles could not read the scriptures....? what was the eunuch reading?

Philip baptised the eunuch before Cornelius was baptised...was the eunuch Jew or gentile.... ??
what law was he to follow.(acts 15) and why was peter amazed at act 10. again time is there for a reason.
and if law saves, why send jesus.

21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.Galatians 2

so in your understanding it was only then that God decided to include the gentiles?? bro that promise was made to Abraham....in his seed the whole earth will be blessed....
only after they believed in a jesus, not a law given via moses.
10 Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?11 But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will."
Acts 15:

Ephesians 2
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

so where do you think those epistles came from?....they wrote letters and circulated them to all the churches....it is those letters that make up the NT....
2 Peter 3:15-17King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
[SUP]16 [/SUP]As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
again was peter sent to gentiles or jew.s
how many books of the bible were wrote after 70 ad.
1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
if you cant connect past to present, what good is the future.

It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?4 Did you suffer so many things in vain---if indeed it was in vain?5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith--

brother you keep mentioning Law ..... this is what the scripture says about the Law
Galatians 3:21-22King James Version (KJV)

[SUP]21 [/SUP]Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.



Romans 3:9
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Romans 10:4


For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Romans 8:4


That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 3:30-31King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]30 [/SUP]Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

who was paul speaking to at gal , would that be peter(disciple of jesus) and co etc around 49 ad


17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised8 (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),Galatians 2
