I only quoted the first line...why....because it is a blatant lie and proves that you do not listen and or read what is written.
Both sides of this argument believe in faith and works.
It appears both believe faith is our salvation and works are the fruit of it.
Some will say if there is no fruit, still faith is there and salvation.
Some will say if works are there, so will the faith and salvation also.
Both are wrong. And some from both camps say it of the other.
Now if you live in the world of labels, or words connected to people,
once you qualify for one label you are it. As with most things label claim
to help but sometimes lie.
I look for the fruit or intent of the sharer. Some words may be used that
in certain contexts I will disagree with, but if the intent and fruit if good,
then amen, and praise the Lord.
But some appear to say the style and emphasis decides their salvation.
I would rather say, if love is shown, and faith is in Christ, they are saved.
Where I do doubt peoples standing is when they speak from a closed heart,
and condemn that which God approves, and rebuke those whose intent is from
scripture, I have good reason to question their relationship with the Lord.
Righteousness and the law of Christ matter. Attack this and one is an enemy
of Christ.
We walk in purity, holiness and being blameless. Do we know this day after
day or is this just a religious set of ideas and language used in church?
