Part 3 -
So let me sum up here what a lot of us are saying:
Works do not earn or lose you salvation.
and again
Works do not earn or lose you salvation.
But works (and the law they are based upon) still have a place in a believers life.
And again
works (and the law they are based upon), altho not a factor in salvation, still have a place in a believers life
now, A)Can we agree on that, or are you all B) still stuck on the idea that I (and others like me) are preaching a works based salvation?
Your answer to that will answer whether you are tunnel visioned or seeing the big picture. And with scripture you want to see the big picture
Right. It's called fruit of the Spirit...
Galatians 5:18-24 KJV
[18] But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. [19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
