What we are talking about is people who adding works to the gospel of christ, saying they are REQUIRED to MAINTAIN salvation.
Human dead faith, that comes from the imaginations of heart of natural man ,separated from God is considered desperately wicked as in who
can know it. It is not the source of faith that comes from God towards us.
God is greater than our conscience .it only acts a personal judgement hall either accusing us or excusing us.
God is not served by human hands as a will . In that way he can if he so desires he can move a unbeliever to bring His good works the gospel of our salvation but the works are not of that seen, that does work towards us in us.
The parable in Mathew 7 of the worker of iniquity who Christ said he knew not comes to mind.. In that parable Christ did not deny the man performed the good works . Just that he denied Christ the one who can work, to form Christ in the other. Christ causes the growth. We can plant the seed and water it . Taking credit for the work that God could be working in us shows he was a worker of iniquity doing despite to the Spirit of grace, of Christ..
Because he offered his dead faith coming from his own heart, that cannot work to please God... toward God .Rather than the faith of Christ that works in us, towards us .
Faith is a two way street .
What we can offer is our new beliefs towards him as a result of his faith works in us towards us.... as the fruit of our lips thanking Him that we do not need to crucify him over and over every time in unbelief and we would offer our dead works of faith towards Him.
Better thing accompany salvation called actual redemption and not a kick start placing us to where Adam and Eve were when they did the pleasure of the will of the father lies, the god of this world. .
Pride comes before the fall each time we do deny Him working in us.he cannot deny His own self .
If he has begun the miraculous good work of His faith in us ,the salvation of our soul. He will finish it all the way until we receive the promise .Our new incorruptible bodies.
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from
dead works, and of
faith "toward God",Heb.6:1
According to the law of faith works cannot be separate from the one who executes it.. as a labor of His love.
The phrase repentance "from dead works, and of faith toward God." I would offer is understood "dead works", coming from dead faith . The words faith and work are inseparable. The faith as to the work must be distinguished as either the things of God or that of man ? God will not share the fruit of His works with the work he is forming.
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the
dead, and of eternal judgment. Heb 6:2
The dead, natural man do not resurrect their owns self by offering something from them as evidence of something? They can expect thorns and thistles, for a thorn in their side. Pricking their conscience is not redemption.... in respect to a new heart and new eternal spirit that could never die, as a living hope, that goes beyond human hope. .
Two groups of people described in Hebrews 6. Us and them, they or themselves
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. Heb 6:6
