So is your position that AFTER one becomesa Christain he does not have to do any works at all, no good works Eph 2:10, no walking in the light, 1 Jn 1:7?
My position is that after a person gets saved and becomes a Christian, he should do good works and he should walk in the light, and he should walk sanctified and holy.
But his salvation is not based on whether or not he does those things; but rather his salvation is totally and completely based on the atoning sacrifice and work which the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross of Calvary. Christ said it is finished. His blood atonement is what paid for our sins.
He purchased our eternal redemption with His precious blood (Acts 20:28; Eph. 1:7; & Col. 1:14).
If a Christian sees a fellow Christian in great need, he does not have to do good works to help his fellow Christian and still be saved? (see Matt 25:32ff before answering )
Well if a Christian sees another Christian in need; and he is able to help that Christian who is in great need, well then he should help him out. But even if he decides not to help him out; that Christian is still saved. Why? Because his salvation is not dependent upon his good works. He may be required to answer for it at the Judgment Seat of Christ, But he is not going to lose his salvation.
Also lets have a look at Matthew 25:32:
Matthew 25:32 KJV
And before him shall be gathered
all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
This Judgment of the Sheep and the Goats is NOT the Judgment Seat of Christ.
The Judgment Seat of Christ takes place after the Rapture of the Body of Christ. And it is a Judgment that only Christians will be present at. And the nature of this judgment is to try ever Christian's work by fire to see what sort it is (1 Cor. 3:11-15). This is to determine the level of reward and Millennial inheritance each Christian will be given. Most likely; there will be some Christians who have no reward and no millennial inheritance.
The Judgment of the Sheep and the Goats mentioned in Matthew 25:31-46 will take place at Christ's Second Advent where He comes back to the earth to judge the Gentile nations and to set up His Millennial Kingdom.
At the Judgment of the Sheep and the Goats; both saved and lost people are present. The nature of this judgment is to determine who gets to enter into Christ's Millennial Kingdom for the 1,000 year Reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. The test and criteria for a Gentile getting to enter into the Millennial Kingdom is whether or not he helped and took care of Christ's brethren; the Jews, during the time of Jacob's trouble (7 year tribulation period).
