That's what Jesus said. Do you not believe Him?So those people that called Him lord and did marvellous things did not believe in Him yet called Him Lord?

I asked a question in all seriousness and did not accuse you of anything despite your false accusations.Are you serious?
Either join In properly or cease trying to accuse me of not believing my Lord when most here truly do not and you say nothing.
We are always taking Matt. 7:21 out of context and trying to make it say things to condemn Christians and to "scare" them into doing works or theya re not saved - or in order to "keep being saved'.
It's a ploy from the enemy to try to get us to "do in order to become" which is an anti-Christ belief system that nullifies the very grace of God that is needed in our lives for true transformation and walking by the spirit.
It is evident that Jesus is talking about false prophets in Matt. 7:15. These are not born-again believers because "inwardly" they are wolves. Christians are NOT wolves. They have a new heart in Christ.
Matthew 7:15 (NASB)
[SUP]15 [/SUP] "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Notice that in Matt 7:19-33..Jesus said in verse 21:
"I never knew you "...these people were not believers...
( Jesus never said " I used to know you once.". He said I NEVER knew you at all...).
Everyone when they see Jesus will call Him Lord.....because He is Lord and will be for eternity.
Jesus said "Many will say to me - on that day..."
Jesus said that He "knows" His sheep so those in Matt. 7:19-33 are not true Christians.
John 10:14 (KJV)
[SUP]14[/SUP]I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
Jesus did the "will of God"...and delivered us from this present evil world
Galatians 1:4 (KJV)
[SUP]4[/SUP] Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
It is God in us that gives us the will and the ability to do His will.
Philippians 2:13 (NASB)
[SUP]13[/SUP] for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
The Will of the Father is to believe on Jesus.
John 6:39-40 (NASB)
[SUP]39 [/SUP] "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.
[SUP]40 [/SUP] "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."
1 John 3:23-24 (NASB)
[SUP]23[/SUP] This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.Can I just share something with you:
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.
Is Jaumej truly believing in His Lord by TRUSTING IN HIM AS THE ALL-SUFFICIENT MEANS OF HIS SALVATION? Or is he trusting in "what he does" (works) as the means of his salvation, like these many people in Matthew 7:22-23.Now because Jaumej is believing His Lord by hearing and doing.. you think by His own merit seeks to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
These many people in Matthew 7:22 were busy doing, but it was apart from truly believing and look where that got them. Sadly, there are many people who are "religious, but not right with God."Are you sure?
You are a liar. Your father is a murderer.Your pretentiousness accuses yourself.
John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
These many people (unbelievers) in Matthew 7:22 had the wrong foundation. They were trusting in their works to save them and NOT IN CHRIST ALONE. Jesus NEVER knew them which means they were NEVER saved. Their hearts were not right with God, so their attempted external obedience was stained with sin. *Seeking salvation by works is not the will of the Father.
Without faith it's impossible to please God no matter how many "alleged" wonderful works that these many people set out to conjure up through the flesh. This is why Jesus referred to them as WORKERS OF INIQUITY/LAWLESSNESS! *They were self righteous.
I'll never forget, prior to my conversion several years ago, while still attending the Roman Catholic church, I read Matthew 7:22 and thought to myself, wow! These many people accomplished all of that, "prophesied in His name, cast out demons, and did many wonderful works" but that still was not "good enough?" Then I thought to myself at that time, how am I going to "top that" and be "good enough?" Such is the mindset of someone who believes that salvation is by works.

We are not saved by works, but by grace through faith in Christ and good works follow as the fruit, but not the root of salvation (Ephesians 2:5-10).What work does The Messiah command to be done to the churches in Revelation?
many are religious but do not know GOD that is true.
So you created a work of completely relying on Him as all sufficient means of Salvation? How does one accomplish this?
You are a liar. Your father is a murderer.

The spirit guiding you is not holy. You talk like a troll.Your pride exposed itself.. just as I had perceived. I can sense your tempting Spirit a mile off thanks to the Holy Spirit guiding me.
When grace-only folks tell me when I pass on that we are to be obedient children of God that I am under the law, what else can anyone deduce from this?
The spirit guiding you is not holy. You talk like a troll.
So Faith brings good works?
Yes the faith of Christ, the faith of God according to His labor of Love
Phi 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
I wuld suggest you try the spirits to see if they are of God . What kind of spirit began its good work in you?
