Not By Works

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.

So, I can go back to unbelief and I'm still saved?

So, you're saying I can go back to unbelief and still be saved?

So, I can go back to unbelief and still be saved, right?

You sound like a parrot..

A TRUE believer cannot fall back into unbelief..

Seems as if you know someone personally and are really upset concerning their lifestyle after confession...

Yes it is personal for sure.

.I HELP JESUS BECAUSE HE IS AN INEPT SAVIOR THAT CANNOT KEEP HIS WORD AND NEEDS MY HELP!!!

I agree...
But that gives him no right to paint us all with the same brush...
He has numerous times accused us as having a free grace to sin all we like , that is wrong judgement , maybe he is talking about himself , he has stated he once believed we are always saved but now thinks we can lose Salvation , I find that really sad...

The true understanding comes from the Holy Spirit who brings Truth.

RIGHT THERE!!!!! Bam!!!!

If you have not the Spirit you have not the truth, you have a narrative.....

Nasty message incomming, im sure

Let me put it this way... he does not know what he is talking about.

If he believed OSAS at any point in time it is because some person told him.

The true understanding comes from the Holy Spirit who brings Truth.

You really should be asking what must I believe to be eternally saved.

pisteuo is a verb.

i gave you the def. of that word.

and that word has nothing to do with works.

and here is for you evidence- the trees in my yard that have been full of lush green leaves for weeks will produce nothing.

the pecan tree that will produce something is just now getting full sized leaves on it.
so, based on your junk religion that you push, i should have been tying blue ribbons on the trees that looked like they were working well, and cut down the one that was not producing well.

which would have been 100% wrong.

just as judging salvation by outward appearance is 100% wrong.

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

Tell me.
