Saved by faith alone?

[DeanM]

Ezekiel 18:20

That has nothing to do with original sin.

 

[HeIsHere]

I never said otherwise
but it is recieved in faith
No faith no salvation
you can believe all you want if you do not repent and come to faith your atill
Lost

That is not the argument at all.

If grace is the sole agency of redemption then there is no need of faith.

If grace is the sole agency of redemption then there are no "must be received in faith".

As a matter of fact there should be no "must be" period!

Absolutely correct - no "must be" requirements exist for salvation, besides that God had chosen that person for salvation from before the foundation of the world, and few there be that can understand or accept that - and that's what makes it by grace - the faith was His, not ours, otherwise it would have to be by our works. He alone as Savior did everything required for salvation on our behalf. From/by/through salvation, we are given faith in Him as Savior as a gift, but that faith an accompaniment to salvation, it does not cause it.

[Tit 3:5 KJV] 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

 

[GWH]

Read the parable. The ground is the world. The seed is the gospel.
Which area of soil throughout the world prepares itself? What is the parable teaching?

Each soil prepares itself. The parable teaches us to be fertile soil.

 

[lrs68]

No it doesn't.

My post asked you a question. And you have demonstrated it is one you are unable to answer.

That's fine. I accept that as your answer.
And, we're done.

Your post states Could God Know what became of Abel...

And I responded as I did because I hate to assume like you thinking I am playing games.

That has nothing to do with original sin.

Original sin,damned at birth,is unbiical. It is Augustinian.

Not of God.

"I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it very well." Psalm 139:14

 

[Mouse_Cheeks]

Well, think about it and really hard if you have to for a minute, hour, days, weeks whatever but the entire Bible is inspired by God so it's already telling us what He said and my post is 100% what He said.

Here's the thing.
You're right.
That's what you think.
The Bible says what you think.

And then as proof you're right,you example what you think the Bible leads you to believe and become as you defend what you think.

However, your snide condescension and arrogance are the fruits of the natural mind.
Your interpretation and that of those who hold to human will as able to work to change God's will, saves me the trouble of saying at all anymore; you are wrong.

And yet that serves to reiterate God is always right.

He saw you and those as self-assured as you coming.

Just commenting on this verse not to the one who posted it.

Rather amazing to think God created us all the same way as this verse indicates but some think most are still created for eternal damnation after God carefully created them...

Human Will?

Because we accept His invitation?

My actual post:
Did God require Cain to give an answer before God could know what became of Abel?

Now,we are done.

Yeah, I wrote what you wrote and still wonder if you think God was actually waiting on Cain to explain in order to know what happened to Abel.

We must be born again! .

If grace is the sole agency of redemption then there is no need of faith.

so God just picks and chooses who to
Give salvation to?

If grace is the sole agency of redemption then there are no "must be received in faith".

You will have to talk to Paul
for us is by grace we have been saved
1. it’s a completed action
2. It is by grace alone

Through faith

1 God does not force you to receive it

As a matter of fact there should be no "must be" period!

Again talk to oaul

Each soil prepares itself. The parable teaches us to be fertile soil.

Show me soil that prepares itself. You could make millions selling self-preparing soil to farmers. I must know alot of stupid farmers because they still use tractors and fertilizer.

Those who are not of the elect are damned at their death.

Neither do farmers throw seed around willy-nilly all over the place.

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

...shall be saved.

As God said, only those whom he calls can come to Jesus. See and believe.

Many are called few are chosen
not everyone he calls will come
he died for the world

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

That's their natural mind telling us,they have a sense of entitlement and humor.

How can someone who trusts God and not self a sense of entitlement?

 

[Mouse_Cheeks]

Many are called few are chosen
not everyone he calls will come
he died for the world

That's not actually what is said nor meant.

 

[Mouse_Cheeks]

Those who are not of the elect are damned at their death.

True.
