Ok Ken, I agree that Good works is proof of salvation.
Every one who has eternal will do good works, some more than others.
But answer these questions.
Do you believe water baptism is necessary for salvation?
Do you believe that a person can choose to walk away from the gift eternal life?
Do you believe eternal means eternal or is it conditional?
Do you believe a Holy and Just God would take back the gift of eternal life once he has given it?
I will answer these questions with one word--------NO
What say you Ken?
False teachers turning God's grace into lewdness, they died twice:
These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about[c]*by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;13*raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
14*Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,*15*to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
Apostates Predicted
16*These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.*17*But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:*18*how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.*19*These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
Maintain Your Life with God
20*But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,*21*keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22*And on some have compassion, making a distinction;[d]*23*but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,[e]hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
