I missed nothing and if you could read instead of bloviating before you read you would see that a gazillion times I have posted that works and fruit are proof of genuine conversion and faith.....and exactly how many pieces of fruit or works are required oh knowing one...?
Regardless....FAITH and FAITH ALONE is what saves a man....regardless of your ability to acknowledge it!

John 6:28-29 (KJV)
[SUP]28 [/SUP] Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
[SUP]29 [/SUP] Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
This is real saving faith with works in the New Covenant as far as obtaining eternal salvation through Christ's work of grace by faith alone.

Ephesians 1:13-14 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
John 1:1 The Word Became Flesh In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
2 Timothy 3:h,15-17 , and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Titus 1:15-16 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
John 3:34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
John 8:47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

There seems to be many "unbelieving believers" around here.
Now I know what this guy meant when the Lord said to him - "I am sending you as a missionary."
The guy said "Where Lord?" The Lord said "I am sending you right where you are - I want you to preach to the unbelieving believers so that they will really start to believe in Me."

1 Corinthians 2:14-15 (KJV)
[SUP]14 [/SUP] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
[SUP]15 [/SUP] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

1 John 4:14-19 (NASB)
[SUP]14 [/SUP] We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
[SUP]15 [/SUP] Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
[SUP]16 [/SUP] We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
[SUP]17 [/SUP] By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.
[SUP]18 [/SUP] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
[SUP]19 [/SUP] We love, because He first loved us.
Those in Christ and Christ is in them have no fear of judgment because all judgment has been placed on Jesus Christ on the cross. Unbelievers will be judged by - as Paul says it - his gospel by Jesus Christ.

[SUP]9 [/SUP] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 (KJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP] And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Good thing I don't reject Christ, but have received him by faith< He that believes that God has raised him from the dead shall be saved.....!
To add to faith = gospel of a different kind with no power to save.....ever heard of the MANY that boast in their works and claim to know Jesus...... Galatians 1 and 3
