But that is not in agreement with the NT.
Salvation is the forgiveness of sin (Lk 1:77)
through faith in Jesus Christ (Eph 2:8-9),
which gives one a guiltless right standing (position of righteousness, justification) before God (Ro 3:24),
which saves one from God's wrath (Ro 5:9) on sin at the Final Judgment.
The true faith which saves then obeys Christ's commands (Mt 22:37-39; 1 Co 9:21; Gal 6:2),
which fulfill, encompass, accomplish all the Mosaic law (Mt 22:40; Ro 13:8, 9, 10);
however, Christ does not attach a curse for imperfect obedience to his law,
as was attached to the Mosaic law (Dt 27:26; Gal 3:10, 13).
The obedience in the power of the Holy Spiritwhich then results from true faith
is the Christian process of sanctification (holiness) which transforms into the image of Christ.
Saving faith = belief + obedience.
But it is the faith/belief alone that saves (Eph 2:8-9).
The obedience which results from true faith does not in itself save,
for salvation is a free gift of grace (Eph 2:8), not something earned by performance (Ro 4:4-5, 1-3).
But since true saving faith obeys, then where there is no obedience,
we know there is no true saving faith and, therefore, one has not actually been saved.
But it is the faith alone which saves.(Eph 2:8-9)

You mean this doctrine?
1 Timothy 4:10-11
[SUP]10 [/SUP]For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]These things command and teach.
Don't worry. I absolutely will take heed unto myself and continue in this doctrine.

Saving faith = belief + obedience.
But it is the faith/belief alone that saves (Eph 2:8-9).
The obedience which results from true faith does not in itself save,
for salvation is a free gift of pure grace (Eph 2:8), not something earned by performance (Ro 4:4-5, 1-3; Eph 2:9).
However, since true saving faith obeys, then where there is no obedience,
we know there is no true saving faith and, therefore, one has not actually been saved.
But it is the faith alone which saves (Eph 2:8), performance does not save (Eph 2:9).

You see,
I have said that none of you
will walk your talk.
I am here to prove it.
So far none of you
have walked
your talk
or has accepted my challenge.
If you accept my challenge, God will put you and I to the test
to see which one of us will walk our talk.
I know what will happen.
None of you will make it through the first day.

This is you cutting and running, after being challenged with the NT word of God.
And why would the devil be in the business of proving your error?
He would be in agreement with your falsehood.
It would not be the devil proving your error, it would be the people of God, as in the following:
