Galatians 2:16 is what I have in mind as well as numerous other verses....rendered innocent by the faith OF Christ and it is the perfect faith OF Christ that saves us, justifies us etc. It is all about Jesus my friend and all glory goes to God the Father dia Jesus for sure. Grammatically speaking in Ephesians (that not of ourselves) is directed at the faith that is being spoken of....A more literal translation is...In the grace you are, having been saved OUT of faith<---and that NOT of YOURSELVES.....is directed at the faith that has saved us having been based upon unmerited favor (grace)!<----It is the GIFT of God and not of (our own) works lest any many should (have the ability) to boast. It is the WORK OF CHRIST........!

Good point! To me it's funny because even though I believe my pastor teaches the truth I still will go home and check and make sure his teaching lines up with Bible. Shoot even with my dad I'll check what he says against the Bible.
I guess that's the difference between the "blind" and those "who can see".
It's no longer a blind leading the blind...it's the blind leading the gulible.

No doubt as there was a church in Acts that was considered more honorable because they searched the scriptures diligently to see if what Paul and company were teaching was true....We should put it all to the test and if it does not jive chunk it and seek conclusions that does jive with the word. I once heard a man say the spirit of God does not indwell the believer....I went home and the first verse I looked at was...If the SPIRIT of HIM that RAISED UP JESUS DWELL IN YOU....that was all I needed to see...Even though I already knew it HAHAH
I agree for sure......you know there are handful of things I was taught growing up in church that I do not agree with after studying the last 26-27 years...it would be wide for all to do this as you never know...you might have been taught a heretical view on something...not to say that a man of God is not sincere or purposely teaching heresy....just that at the end of the day we are all men/women and we are all fallible.....
Well if you choose to ignore ALL the scriptures that teach otherwise and HE is talking to his disciples which were already SAVED men of GOD, immersed (identified with) Jesus, called OUT by Jesus and being instructed in daily living and what it takes to have a spiritual life as opposed to a worldly life!

Sounz a lot like the Church of Christ. They are hellbent of works over grace and the traditions. They are so black 'n white but cannot see the gray. For instance: Show me in scripture that 'Salvation' is a free gift, it is not in the Bible. Oh my gosh...it's like turning a door knob to bathroom and it doesn't turn. Which has me scratching my head thinking...doesn't the name JESUS mean 'Lord of Salvation'. So JESUS died for us paying the price. We paid nothing to Him for His Father gave His only begotten Son. Which I'm pretty sure the word 'gave' means 'freely transfer a possession of something or someone'. Not matter I how put it they still wouldn't listen. Now I know why GOD calls the lost lost for they truly have completely LOST their minds.

I must spend 3/4 of my entire reading, researching, studying, meditating, and it can be frustrating as I'm the only one of my Church that gets into the Bible. The head of the Church knows an untold but he has a life outside of Church with his business but my gut feeling is he's not interested in one on one mentoring. My mentor is back in Australia, and we would spend hours and hours together. Our greatest achievement is Samson. The material we've dug up on Samson was just brilliant, so much so I'm writing a script.
I've told I should study something else. I says, 'It's all I want to study is the Bible. For doing so will lead me to world issues, the heavens ( never was into astrology until I discovered Job 38 ), the deep sea, geographically, numbers, history a ton of things' they were like, 'Nah way!' I was like 'Yahweh'.
It is lots and lots and lots of fun. After much study this is what friends have told me, 'Your glowing and your smile is radiant'. l'm like well I get pregnant so it must be from Bible Study...hehehehe'.
