Once again you lie and you slander me and many others.
It comes down to salvation.
Obedience is a result of faith, as I posted to you a few posts back.
True faith in the Son of God will produce obedience.
Once again you ignored my post about making disciples, teaching them to be like Jesus
With regard to your second paragraph. Tosh tosh

Of course, and I knew you would. 
Nope, sorry, Scripture disagrees with you about the process of salvation. You're incorrect.

Lol. Wow. So you resort to slander, eh?
No, that's not it, you're just showing your ignorance of the Gospel. We are saved, we are being saved, we will be saved -- it all has to do with God, not works salvation. Salvation is 100% of God, 0% of man and not works oriented.
Nice try, but all you've done is bear false witness and slander.

Call me whatever names you please. My skin is very thick. As for calling me ignorant of the Gospels, John 3:16 is a beautiful scripture exclaiming salvation is a free gift from God and that it is eternal. I have exclaimed many times under this thread that Works has nothing to do with salvation. So who is truly bearing false witness and to whom?

Do you even know what slander means?
I already did that but obviously have to show you, yet again.
You accused me of a works Gospel because you're ignorant of the truth I've shown you. Instead of trying to learn and grow, you slander and accuse.
We are saved, we are being saved, we will be saved. That is a biblical fact.
Since you don't believe these things are attested to in Scripture (they are, and I gave a link showing the passages) you come out and resort to saying I believe in works salvation.
Like I said, all this shows is that your ignorant of the truths I expressed, and you resorted to slander. It's how you are.

I've not called you one name. You're still bearing false witness? Wow.
Do show me where I "called you a name." Saying you're ignorant isn't calling a name, it's describing your level of knowledge which is low on the subject at hand.
Grow some thick skin.
I said you slandered, and you did. I said you are ignorant, and that isn't name calling, it's a fact. You are "not knowing" about the subject at hand.
Now I'm reminded of why I ignored you in the past, you can't seem to tell the truth and resort to slander. You seem rather bitter imho.

No, I have shared with you the True Gospel, and you said: No Thanks!
You have followed the False Teachers and the False Prophet. I even gave you the Scriptures to prove they LIED TO YOU.
You are without excuse.
One more try, assuming you are a MORMON?
Isaiah 43:10-11 (HCSB)
10 “You are My witnesses”— ⌊this is⌋ the LORD’s declaration— “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. No god was formed before Me, and there will be none after Me.
11 I, I am Yahweh, and there is no other Savior but Me.
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, THE HOLY TRINITY. Three Personages that Make Up ONE GOD. Everything else is in MAN's Imagination that HE calls gods.
We are MADE in HIS IMAGE, YET GOD does not look like this; HE IS AN OMNIPRESENT SPIRIT.
John 4:24 (HCSB)
24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
THE SPIRIT IN JESUS IS GOD.
2 Corinthians 5:19 (ASV)
19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
The difference between JESUS and Mortal Man is:
The Spirit In JESUS IS GOD the CREATOR.
The Mortal Man has a spirit that was created BY GOD THE CREATOR.
Zechariah 12:1 (HCSB)
1 An Oracle The word of the LORD concerning Israel. A declaration of the LORD, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirit of man within him.
You question that the HOLY SPIRIT IS PART OF THE HOLY TRINITY:
The Holy Spirit mentioned on equal level with God
- Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,"
- 2 Cor. 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."
- Eph. 4:4-6, "There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all."
- 2 Cor. 3:16-18, "but whenever a man turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit."
The HOLY SPIRIT Speaks:
- 2 Sam. 23:2, "The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; his word was on my tongue."
- Acts 8:29, "And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."
- Acts 10:19, "And while Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you."
- Acts 11:12, "And the Spirit told me to go with them without misgivings. And these six brethren also went with me, and we entered the man’s house."
- Acts 13:2, "And while they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
- Acts 21:11, "And coming to us, he took Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’"
- Acts 28:25-26, "And when they did not agree with one another, they began leaving after Paul had spoken one parting word, "The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, saying, ‘Go to this people and say, "You will keep on hearing, but will not understand."
- 1 Tim. 4:1, "But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,"
You question that the HOLY SPIRIT IS A REAL PERSONAGE, part of the HOLY TRINITY:
The Holy Spirit is referred to as a person by scripture
- Who
- Rom. 8:11, "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you."
- John 6:63, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life."
- 1 John 5:6, "And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth."
- See also 1 Cor. 2:12; 2 Tim. 1:14;
- He
- John 14:26, "These things I have spoken to you, while abiding with you. "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you."
- Himself
Man was MADE in the IMAGE OF GOD and YET GOD DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS:
GOD IS OMNIPRESENT AND INFINITE DIVINE BEING - We are a finite being traveling through time.
GOD IS HOLY - We have an SIN NATURE.
GOD IS ALL KNOWING - We certainly are NOT.
GOD IS KING OF THE UNIVERSE - We are never going to be in that position.
GOD IS PERFECTLY JUST - We are NOT.
GOD IS PERFECTLY MERCIFUL - We are NOT
GOD IS ALL LOVING - We are NOT
GOD IS ALL POWERFUL - We can never be like HIM.
SO HOW ARE WE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD ? ? ?
We are an example of what a TRINITY IS, three parts that make up a whole Human Being.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NASB)
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
THREE SPECIFIC PARTS WITH THREE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS, YET THE SOME TOTAL ONLY MAKES UP ONE HUMAN BEING.
Just like GOD, the FATHER and the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT, YET THERE IS ONLY ONE DEITY OR DIVINE BEING.
AND NOTICE, TWO OF THE PARTS ARE INVISIBLE AND ONLY ONE IS VISIBLE.
YOUR FALSE TEACHERS AND FALSE PROPHET HAVE BEEN DECEIVED AND THEY ARE DECEIVING YOU.
