Amen...his idiocy is exposed evetytime he peddles that He must maintain his faith to stay saved.....this view absolutely DENIES Jesus FINISHING AND COMPLETING the work of faith HE BEGINS IN US.....
His self maintained faith is not only void of God, it reeks of evil, denies Jesus, the power/promises of Jesus, the word of God and is contrary to the truth...!

No, the convincing comes from God.
My responsibility is to then trust in what God has convinced me is true.
I just want to know how/why my trust in God in response to his gift of faith--his gift of convincing--is me trying to save myself by works.
Can anyone explain this to me?
I would think you would want to make sure everyone knows the real way to be saved.

Do you not hear yourself?
If you are HIs you are His , by your own words, HE DOES IT!
HE PUT IT IN YOU!!! THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO UNDO WHAT GOD HAS DONE, HE DOES IT
we are HIS tools......
Indeed, but not saved by man"...but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God..."
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
...period.

If one does not have a changed life they show they are not a new creation through faith in Christ.
This is right out of 1 John.
Do you disagree with John?
I think you gave me the definition of the noun 'faith' (Hebrews 11:1).
Trusting in Christ is the verb action that we do in response to the thing, the faith, that God gives us.
Trust in the blood of Christ all by itself justifies a person, apart from any merit of righteous works.
Works are required only in that they are the result of being justified in Christ apart from works.
No works means you aren't really justified in Christ.
That's how works have to be part of a genuine salvation.
They don't earn anything, they show the genuineness of one's salvation.
The absence of that evidence shows you do not have salvation by faith apart from works.

What I am saying is...
a. What you peddle is false
b. You deny Jesus by saying YOU MUST MAINTAIN FAITH
c. My bible states JESUS FINISHES AND COMPLETES FAITH IN US
d. BECAUSE OF C, IF EVEN WE BELIEVE NOT AFTER BELIEF HE ABIDES FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISE to FINISH AND COMPLETE FAITH IN US<-THE RESULT OF FAITH IS ETERNAL LIFE DIA SALVATION
No....do not address me again...you are false, divisive, peddle a false gospel, are not of God, falsely accuse, twist what we say, deny truth, context, the bible and the Spirit of God does not lead you pal....
End of story......with one final suggestion...Go start a thread that states...I HELP JESUS BECAUSE HE IS AN INEPT SAVIOR THAT CANNOT KEEP HIS WORD AND NEEDS MY HELP!!!
