All these people who deny salvation has conditions have no conception that salvation is a state of the heart, a state where the heart is pure, a state where an individual has been born again to the Spirit of God. This state is where we look at things in the way God looks at things, we hate sin and love righteousness and therefore we continually abide in Him.
These false Christian's believe they are still inwardly wicked because they think that the flesh necessitates evil. That is why the need a cloak of some sort to cover them over that they may be acceptable to God in their filthy state.
They do not understand that a "pure state" is wrought via grace THROUGH faith. In other words when we yield ourselves to God WHOLEHEARTEDLY it effects a total transformation of mind, body and soul. That is why they have a "form of godliness" but "deny the power thereof."
These people believe faith is passive and thus refer it to "trusting in the finished word of the cross where you have to do NOTHING" instead of...
2Th 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
They have been blinded to the work of faith with power and thus cannot possibly conceive that salvation actually brings about the conquering of sin in their lives. Instead they defend being enslaved to sin manifestly but set free in position. It is all a farce and you need to wake up to it.
Think about it. Really think about it.
