Then we have to work for him
And what is the work we must do?

John 6:28-29
28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”


This is why salvation is by grace through faith.

I didn't say it, it's what the scripture says.

Why don't you explain to everyone why you think you can get rid of your sin when the scripture plainly states Jesus does?
Scripture CLEARLY states we do!!

EXPLAIN THESE VERSES.

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

IF YOUR REBORN, SIN WILL NOT ENTER HEAVEN.

it's a life long jurnery.

Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me
says here the ones He "never knew" are those who thought that they kept their salvation by doing works for His name.

Then we have to work for him
Romans 11:6​
And if by grace, then no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Peter said to Him,
"You shall never wash my feet!"
Jesus answered him,
"If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."

Your beleive i WRONG and can't back it up with HIS WORD!!

Do you care what HIS word says?
Yes. I do. What is tragic is that the scriptures I have posted over and over to your requests for scripture, you continue to ignore scripture in order to deny what it says. Acceptance of what scripture says would entail you changing your doctrinal stance, and you have demonstrated that scripture really doesn't matter. You hold to what you believe at the expense of Truth. There are many others of that same stripe, otherwise known as Gnostic dogmatic.

You were told, several times, but you continue to confuse regeneration (born again) with the baptism with the Spirit.

Those who were added were the ones baptized with the Spirit adding them to the Church, the body of Christ.

Being humble means one is willing to learn. You have not shown any willingness to change your mind on anything no matter what you are shown.

Anyone can quote scripture (which is all you do), but understanding it is another matter.
It's useless to converse with any and all of those who ignore questions asked of them and ignore the scripture references that they demanded be provided, and still ignored. All the evidence in the world means nothing to those who hold to Gnostic indifference to evidence to the contrary. Wasted typing time, although not always a total loss due to the blessing to other readers, the targets who are of that mindset generally are a waste of time.

Before one can loose "Salvation" one has to define exactly what Salvation is first!

I do know that Salvation itself is a Free Gift from God, however, I also believe that although Salvation is Free, the path to one's salvation is not Free! This is why Jesus told His followers that few will make it through the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14) and Jesus was / is God in the living flesh and blood (according to the book of John)!

What I believe Salvation is, is getting to the Father by physically acting upon Jesus's teachings!

John 14:6: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

James 2:17 > Faith without action is useless.

Therefor one must continue acting upon the teachings of Jesus till one is able to get the Father to reveal Himself! Once the Father reveals Himself then that individual has their foot in the gates of Heaven and the gift of eternal life ( > Salvation)!

You know nothing of which you speak. Jesus addressed that to us Jews, not you Gentiles. You Gentiles who continue to try and steal from us what was meant for us alone, you're a pathetic bunch who hold to replacement theology.

Elements of Replacement Theology continue to resonate in many people's thinking around here. What Jesus told Israel about salvation is NOT what applies today under the Gospel of Grace. We are saved by grace through faith, period, and that not ourselves, lest any man should boast, but a gift from God. Adding to that what was meant only for us Jews at that time, that's stealing what you Gentiles clearly should not want for yourselves. None of us is saved on the basis of effort or works, and thinking one must maintain salvation on the basis of works and/or refraining from certain sins, that is STILL works-based salvation, which cannot save anyone.
