As long as one remains an unbeliever he will never repent of his sins.
You mean as long as one remains an atheist (unbeliever in that sense) he will never repent of his sins. Once an atheist comes to believe in the existence of God and that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, then he can come to realize that his sins have separated him from God and now he can repent "change his mind" about his sinful position and need for Christ to save him then place his faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.
Those that remain impenitent will be lost, Lk 13:3,5; Rom 2:4,5. Therefore all the belief only in the world can never save an impenitent believer.
Only those who have truly repented believe and only those who truly believe have repented. All the mere "mental assent" belief in the existence of God and in the historical facts about Christ apart from repenting and believing the gospel can never save someone who refuses to repent and believe the gospel. Saving belief is not without repentance so it's not belief only in the sense that you are talking about---empty profession of faith/dead faith.
Mt 10:32,33 (along with Rom 10:9,10) clearly show that that will not confess Christ will not be saved. Again, all the belef only in the world will not save one who refuses to confess Christ.
Those who will not confess Christ are those who do not believe. Again, the broader context of Matthew 10:32,33 relates to the fact that the
Pharisees had continuously denied Jesus while the
disciples spoke about Him in every city they visited. We might paraphrase His teaching this way: "Whoever confesses me before men (such as you disciples), I will confess him before my Father in heaven. But whoever denies me before men (like these Pharisees do on every occasion they get), I will deny him before my Father in heaven. This does not equate to believe the gospel but still lost until you round up a group of people at Walmart and confess Christ to them. In regards to Romans 10:9-10, *notice in Romans 10:8 - But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU,
in your mouth and in your heart" (together) that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, (notice the
reverse order from verse 9 to verse 10) - that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the
heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the
mouth he confession is made unto salvation. Confess/believe; believe/confess. Belief and confession are not two separate steps to salvation here but are chronologically together. *What about someone who is unable to speak (is moot). How can they confess with their
mouth? Such a person would remain lost according to your erroneous interpretation of Romans 10:9,10. *Also, how can confession be made unto salvation if a person still needs to receive water baptism afterwards in order to become saved?
Mk 16:16 the conjunction "and" ties believeth to baptized making the two inseparable. Therefore if one does not have to be baptized to be saved neither does he have to believe to be saved.
False. Jesus clarifies the first clause with
"but he who does not believe will be condemned. It's the lack of belief that causes condemnation and not the lack of baptism. If believe and baptism are inseparable in receiving salvation, then why did Jesus forget to mention baptism in John 3:15,16,18; 5:24; 6;40,47; 11:25,26?
Mt 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
Again, in John 6:40 - For my Father's
will is that everyone who looks to the Son and
believes on him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. No further action is required to receive eternal life. Believing on Him is doing the will of the Father. That may not be enough action to satisfy you, but that's what the Lord said. You confuse doing the will of the Father by believing on Him with further actions/works that FOLLOW.
He that DOETH the will of the Father. Doing is an action, a work.
Believing on Him is doing the will of the Father in receiving eternal life (John 6:40). This is the work of God that you believe in Him whom He has sent (John 6:29). Is that not enough action/work for you? Through believing in Him, we are trusting in Another's works/actions (Christ's finished work of redemption).
Jesus did NOT say "he that "worketh not" the will of the Father. Further proof of how Rom 4:5 (and Eph 2:9) are taken out of context.
Jesus clearly stated what the
will of the Father is for us to receive eternal life through BELIEVEING ON HIM (John 6:40) and "not on our works" as you do. Romans 4:5 - But to him who
does not work but
believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his
faith (not works) is accounted for righteousness. No contradiction here. Just you misinterpreting scripture again. There is nothing to take out of context in Romans 4:5 and Ephesians 2:9.
Does not work but believe on Him...saved through faith, not works is crystal clear. You just can't accept the truth because of your COC indoctrination.
