If you don't work, it shows that you have not accepted Jesus". This means
LACK of works proves one is
NOT saved which means works prove one is saved making works essential to salvation.
No one has argued one can earn salvation, so that is a non-issue.
If works have
nothing at all to do with salvation, that means a person can do any kind of works he wants to
in order to become a Christian. Can one become a Christian by doing evil, wicked sinful works? According to this thread he can.
It also means a Christian, instead of doing good works, can do evil, sinful, wicked works and still maintain his salvation since works have
NOTHING at all to do with salvation.
SO, which is it SEA PERCH.......WORKS or NO WORKS FOR SALVATION?
NO ONE CAN EARN SALVATION or YOU HAVE TO DO WORKS FOR SALVATION?
MR. TWISTY SEA PERCH.....WHICH IS IT as you seem to contradict yourself.......
