Faith in Jesus Christ to save us will result in His good works being manifested in and through those of us who are saved. Faith in your works to save you will result only in an eternity of painful suffering as you remember just how wrong you were.
i don't understand how all of you have ears but can't hear. i have said over and over and over again, that i do not teach Works based Salvation. Yet over and over and over again, this is what this generation accuses me of. Why is that? i can only guess it is because you can't accuse me of ANYTHING else. You can't accuse me of teaching things contrary to Scriptures, because i don't. You can't accuse me of teaching to do evil, because i don't teach that. So the only thing you can really accuse me of, is making up something that you THINK i believe, and then use that to discredit me in some way.
People think i teach this:
Works = Salvation.
Therefore i get all kinds of comments like this poster has done here, accusing me of Works for Salvation. But i have never, nor did i ever teach any kind of works for Salvation teaching.
i will try to make this Bigger, because for some reason when i print it at normal size, it is not read nor comprehended by a few readers on this Thread. What i teach and believe is this:
Faith + Works = Salvation
This is what i believe. So please try to do the Godly thing and stop accusing me of believing in a works based Salvation, That is a flat out LIE, and a false accusation. God will judge anyone who falsely accuses His Children.
Believing in Jesus + Good fruits that are produced = Eternal Life
Believing in Jesus - Good fruits that are produced = Death
Because people do not believe this, they will say it is from me that teaches this, but it is from Scriptures, not from me. But since they can't use Scriptures to disprove anything that i say and teach, they attack me personally, that is all they can do, because they can't attack the words that i teach, because they are not contrary to Scriptures. So they attack me.
They can't discredit me using the Word of God, so they try to discredit me personally. Oh he said this, oh he said that. NOTHING contrary to the Word of God, only contrary to what they THINK is the TRUTH.
How do you try the spirits? Through the Word of God is how. If i am false, then God shall reveal it right? Yet no one has revealed it. God has not one time to any person reading this revealed something that i have taught that is not Scriptural. Why is that? Maybe because what i teach is from God, exactly as i have plainly said and did not lie.
The reason you don't believe me, is because i teach things contrary to what YOU think is the TRUTH. You are more willing to hold on to your doctrines that you heard from men or from your own thinking, than to listen to someone who tells you things that God has told him. If i come in my own name, you would listen and believe, but since i come in the name of God, you refuse it and will not listen. Because i say "God told me" which is TRUE, you will not hear me. Why? i can only suppose, that since He has not spoken to you audibly, He must not to anyone else. God has spoken to me since i was a kid. it is not my fault, nor God's that you refuse to believe that He does speak to His children today.
If what i teach i say comes from God, and you deny what i teach, who are you then denying? You would like to say "I am denying YOU" But i clearly say what i teach comes from Him, and nothing that i teach contradicts Scritpures which would PROVE that i am false. If i taught anything at all that is contrary to Scriptures than that is the PROOF that i am false, and a liar and not to be believed. But what have you against me? Scriptures? No, not in the slightest, you have false accusations, accusing me of things that i do not believe nor ever said. And why do you do that? Because you can't find one solitary verse in all of Scriptures that will reveal to the world that i am false, that i am lying. No all you have is your false accusations against me, and accusing me of things that i have not said, nor believe.
But i love you still. and forgive you.
