What must I do to be saved

I have read every single post in this thread and I then read them again and I STILL have not seen you show me where the man has said: 1 sin=unsaved (which is what you say he said.) I think if you accuse a man of saying something, you should be able to back it up. AND, I think a man deserves defense when another man says he stated something that he didn't state.

Are you sure I'm the confused one?

The Galatians really believed, yet they were turning away from faith in Christ to another 'gospel' for justification:

"3Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?"-Galatians 3:3
6 "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel"-Galatians 1:6

But you say real believers won't do that.

I believe the Galatians demonstrated outward faith, but inwardly they were unbelievers and their unbelief was exposed

That is true if our faith is at it's full strength 100% of the time, but we all know that we take our eyes off the ball and feed the flesh on a very regular basis. The problem is you sin so much that it's your second nature and your not even aware of all your sins HYPOCRITE!!!

Jameen is certainly a defender of the catholic religon..

"Having begun by the Spirit..."-Galatians 3:3

"...keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery."-Galatians 5:1

@Danny1988, don't confuse weak, poorly grounded faith (soil #2 in the Parable of the Sower) with no faith at all. In the letter to the Galatians, Paul points out that God knows them in salvation but they do not know him:

9 "But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God"-Galatians 4:9

So we see that 'I never knew you' does not only mean never knowing Christ in salvation. As we see, it can also mean being saved but the believer having never entered into a mature 'knowing' relationship with Christ yet. Christ does not know them that way yet. In the Parable of the Sower it is soil #4 that holds the word fast and brings forth fruit to maturity with perseverance and which can not be uprooted. Temptations to abandon faith in Christ don't just only expose fake faith, they also expose weak faith. That's what happened to the Galatian believers.

They had received the Holy Spirit. Or else paul would not have said: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?[a] 4 Have you experienced[b] so much in vain—if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?

So are you saying that unbelievers receive the Holy Spirit?

I thought so. What gave it away was when he said, "so SOLA FIDE is unbiblical."

Roman Catholicism obviously teaches salvation by works and not salvation through faith (rightly understood) IN CHRIST ALONE (Romans 3:22-28; 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9 etc..).

Keep standing firm in what ?
Keep standing firm in...TRUST (FAITH)!

There is only one way believers will do that. If they leave trusting (abiding) and begin to try to finish in a different way than they began, which was trust. But it is difficult for men to rest and remain resting.

Weak faith and no faith have the same result, so there's no point in worrying about it. You either believe or you don't, only believing the Gospel 90% is like not believing at all. The end result will be the same

Absolutely positive.

Galatians 5:1 is simply saying don't go and give yourself back to serve sin. It exhorts us to stand firm, I hope you don't believe it's telling us not to sin. Because we know that we will continue to sin until we drop dead.

No!, they never truly received the Holy Spirit. They fooled Paul for a short time, but they eventually demonstrated that they were never saved. They just acted like they were, just as the one billion Roams Catholics do

Here is where he proves he is a works salvationist <- he believes one walk saves -> or "unsaves" someone


^
in response to a sister who actually shared the truth and said to be saved we must believe in Jesus (he is already making strawmen and attacking her character
he believes

capable to sin -> unsaved
unable to sin -> saved


and depending on which one of these you are at the moment

is how you can tell where youre are

he made many other strange claims

false statements

lies against brothers and sisters

insults


but im sure you just ignored them stunned

In context he's telling them to not go back to the slavery of trying to be justified by the law in the keeping of it's various ceremonies (Sabbaths, New Moons, Festivals, circumcision, etc). Doing those for justification most certainly is sin. And it's not unreasonable that a person never sin that way ever again. Especially since your salvation depends on it (keeping the law to be justified instead of Jesus is unbelief in Jesus for justification).

And in regard to other sin, it is possible to one day not be in bondage to that which you are today. That's the 4th type of soil in the Parable of the Sower. I know you are probably the victim of a church that says the 4th type of soil is only theoretical and that no one actually ever gets there, but I assure you it's for real and believers do get there. The believer can have victory over besetting sin. That's not sinless perfection, but it's surely victory over sin. If you keep believing in Christ, God will make sure you get healed of whatever it is that is keeping you from the abundance of life Christ died to give you.

" 1Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. "-1 Peter 4:1


.

I'm confident that the problem is you can not understand how works are required to be saved without those works earning you salvation.

All of the following verses speak of being saved through doing something. Do you really think the Bible is teaching works salvation in these passages?


16 "Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers."-1 Timothy 4:16

"women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety."-1 Timothy 2:15

"40With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”-Acts 2:40


Will people be saved if they do not obey the instructions connected with each of these verses? No. And yet none of these verses is suggesting that works earn salvation. Find out how that can be and you will understand how works save without those works earning your justification/salvation.

GOD said, Who ever believes in him shall be saved. To be saved all you need to do is believe Jesus Christ is the son of GOD and died for our sins and on the third day he arose from the grave and is coming again. The only predestination is GOD gave us a free will, we have a choice to follow him or not. GOD already knows who will accept him and who wont. Being saved is not that difficult. why do people have to use such big words and make it a conflict and different sides. we should be "one in Christ"

your font sucks for the eyes/.
