Not By Works

I believe his quote was in reference to blending the two for or to keep salvation......

Sounds like someone's been studying Gnosticisim.

More like to the pit..........

I have never found a Church in the MAINLINE DENOMINATIONS, that did not agree on the Central Core Beliefs of the Christian Church. Yes we disagree on the minor core of beliefs, but we agree on the MAJOR CORE OF BELIEFS. Now when you teach a different GOSPEL, I do not even count you in the Mainline Denominations.

It is like you hand a glass of water to a thirsty man, and tell him, "Do worry about it, their is only 10% Arsenic in it."

When one adds works in any form or fashion to faith to gain, embellish, or keep salvation they are peddling a double cursed false gospel of a different kind and ALL WHO BELIEVE IT ARE deceived and foolish......

Paul/Galatian Letter/Circa 48 to 55 AD depending upon source!

I've read the Apocrypha, Jimmy Swaggart, Hal Lindsey, Walter Martin, N. V. Peal, D. L. Moody and others. While I found them interesting they are not the real gospel of Jesus our lord and Christ @benhur go peddle your books elsewhere please and leave Bible study to the bible readers.

You all hold the fort down for me....be boarding QF 9 from Sydney to Dallas in about 35 min....15 hour flight from Sydney to Dallas and then 1.5 or so from Dallas to St. Louis......will be out of sorts for at least 16 hours or so.....keep swinging and keep preaching the one true way...by grace through faith with no strings, works, hoop jumping needed for biblical salvation haha

Got my sword handy and sharp.

Yes, repent of preaching a false Gospel, and come to the True GOSPEL of GRACE.

And again I say amen!

It is dumping diesel fuel in Water, and lighting a match to it. ONLY THE DIESEL BURNS.




John 7:38 (NKJV)
38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."


Notice it does not say out of his works, will flow rivers of living water.

I agree, not only do they not count HIS GRACE as Sufficient for their sins, but are they even denying the LORD who BOUGHT them


2 Peter 2:1-2 (NKJV)
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

I did a word study on 'Lord' once, it was HUGE.

Hi calibob, agreed and trying to make Gods word fit your understanding is trifling with the bible.

benhur, the point that I am trying to make with you is that if your gospel is only 50% correct then it is a 100% false gospel. Or said a different way; "a half truth, is a whole lie."

WOW, and that did not mess with your brain? Some of them are pure false teachers where I come from, namely Jimmy Swaggart and N. V. Peal.

You are right, but good works we must do. If we are saved unto good works, but do not those works that we were saved to do, then the consequence of our laziness, or our bad learning, or our falling away completely, will leave us outside of EL with God.

Vice-Versa TT.

Vice versa?

Does that mean . . . if your gospel is only 50% incorrect then it is a 100% false gospel? I cain't hep it, sometime you just make me LOL.
