It is not Faith that saves
Ephesians 2:8 - by grace are ye saved through faith
Without walking in faith, nobody can access the grace for salvation
It is not Faith that saves
My posts did no contain doubt, because i do not stand in doubt, I stand in the faith of the Lord.
Do you really think that it's God's fault that so many Christians are living far far below what the Lord has for His people?
Apparently you do because you are saying God needs to straighten us all out.
How about Christians start submitting themselves unto the Lord, learning of His Word, choosing to walk in agreement with Him and quit being carnally minded following fables of men that can only generate false teachings?
When are Christians going to learn we are to be co laborers with the Lord working together with Him? 1 Corinthians 3:9

You do Question people a lot, can you tell me why please?

I question false doctrine and call those out that are teaching it and post truth from God's Word.
In Matthew 24 Jesus teaches that deception is the most dangerous thing His followers face in the last days.
As God knows each person assuredly, and will take care of all errors people make consciously,
So, you are saying I, and others are doing that, and that you know better than others?
Are you perfect? Have you come to te point of no sin ever again in your own personal life?
Just asking and leveling the playing Field.
2 Cor 10:5-6
God does not just magically "take care" of people's sin.
According to Proverbs 28:13 and 1 John 1:9, we must confess and forsake our sins to be forgiven and have mercy
They you go, listening to the enemy to attack anyone advocating for believing and acting on God's Word.
He did that once for us all Hebrews 10:10, it is done per John 10:10, Father by Son took away sin
God is still hanging on the phone, and I need God daily to lead not me
So you believe is we sin after becoming a believer all of our sins are already forgiven and we should ignore scripture verses that tell us we should confess and turn away from out sin?
That's what the fake grace teachers teach such as Joseph Prince, Andrew Woman, Charles Stanley among other fake ministers.
Which carrier does the Lord use for his phone service?
You're not making a lot of sense over there.
Maybe rephrase?
Yet you are denying it is done
So you deny that we reap what we sow then right?
If we sin we are sowing to the flesh and we are reaping corruption talked about in Galatians chapter 6
It also says we are mocking God is we say we do not reap what we sow
Do you believe 1 John 1:9 is true or is it a lie?
Wow, God is not a vending machine, thank you GWH God gave that insight to you, I am glad to read that truth from God through you
If someone really "does not have enough faith" then that would be their fault would it not?
They have no developed their faith so that's on them seeing the Lord "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue" 2 Peter 1:3
2 Timothy 2:12 - If we deny Him, He also will deny us
Remember, we reap what we sow according to God's Word.
So the lesson should be to not quit and if we screw up we should repent immediately and get back on course walking with the Lord once again and grow spiritually so we quit getting off track into sin and living after the flesh following our own carnal desires instead of living to please the Lord desiring what He wants.
Making excuses for not knowing God's Word and not walking with the Lord isn't going to work out very well at all.
I hope you continue growing spiritually and get past making excuses
Proverbs 1:20-33 - Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
He certainly does have great understanding and the Lord is trying to share them with His people, but some keep balking
1 Corinthians 2:9-16 - But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Whoever sins again is not saved!
Re "If someone really "does not have enough faith" then that would be their fault would it not?": I would not blame you
for lacking enough faith to cure cancer (for example), but if you would blame yourself, then that is your fault, not God's.
IN other words, when God promises something He does not fulfill His promises?
Sadly, this describes those who are not skillful in the Word of Righteousness
Pffft.. faith faith works by love yet you say this "and let's forget the modern word of faith junk because". Modern? .. sorry side note.. I love this song playing.. . have to share by Petra "We Exalt Thee oh oh lord". Yes amen..
Not here to teach .. take Peter and John at the Gate beautiful. They said have no sliver and no gold what what we do have give I unto you in JESUS...... . They didn't pray to the Father did they? They didn't pray at all. Yet this is with in what your talking about but anyway. Do you understand why its written "but only faith activated and expressed and working through love."
Take this you said "If someone really "does not have enough faith" then that would be their fault would it not? " So preacher prays for a man and he is healed. Later days or weeks sees the man out side and the man said "it came back" so this preacher stayed with him for hours to teach him faith and prayed for him again and this time "it never came back". Do you understand? The man of God took the time to teach just that one person. Again.. faith works by love. Knowing all this with out love.. blah blah blah
Oh ever think about how GOD comes to us.. He spoke to Abram first so forth so on. He comes to us.. He talks to us where we are.. meets us where we are. I believe help my unbelief, I know you can but do you want to. In both of those it was yes. He about to Judge looked for just one among them to build a wall to stand in the gap so He didn't have to yet found known. Also if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. Do you understand? Were here to help all.. they will know you are mine by your love one for another. Every word we speak matters and how.
This is what comes to me "For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. " Soberly. Thanks for your post.....
Have blessed day, Father does not quit reaching out for us all, thanks bye
