They were tribulation saints doing good works out of faith. OIC, we're back on Matt 25...again. Let me ask you, how many people do you need to feed, clothe and visit until you can proclaim with Paul... "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and...

no

It’s not the last judgment, it’s the judgment of the nations, believers are not judged. You need to take the bible as a whole. Believers have been crucified with Christ, their sins were judged at Calvary in Christ and are now blessed in heavenly places. John 5:24 KJV [24] Verily, verily, I say...

Yes but taking one passage out of context is not rightly dividing God's Word.

There are more chapters in the Bible other than Matt 25,

So are the schemes of Progressive Christianity. Old wolf in new sheep's clothing

I think some people here on this board are highly infected by the Social Gospel pushed by 'Progressive Christianity',

The whole concept of grace is unearned... Romans 11:6 (KJV) And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. There is no word 'basis' in Titus 3:5, but Paul does tell us on what...

Well, at least the scribes of the one or the other are in Big Trouble.

Yes, I suppose sometimes dynamic equivalency becomes dynamic inequivalency.

I've compared differences in translations throughout the NT, and interestingly enough, Revelation has the least!...I wonder if it's due to that warning? hmm.

I don't think adding or omitting a comma rises to the standard of adding or omitting 'the words of the prophecy of this book', but when they add or omit "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, do you think that is Kosher?

Looking at this passage in Rev 22... I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree...

Yes, that’s been my point all along.

Like David? (adultery, scheming, manipulation,murder)...yet a man declared by Jesus as one after God's own heart.

It says, "who declares the ungodly righteous,", and there is no time stamp on Rom 4:4. Ungodly get saved and then the Holy Spirit transforms them, not vice-versa.

Are you sure?... But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness. (Rom 4:5)

Because salvation is a gift from God, not a reward we earn… Titus 3:5 NASB [5] He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, Romans 6:23 NASB [23] For the wages of sin is...

Goliath, that verse is not talking about regeneration, at least not 'how we are regenerated'. It's the next verse that is closer to explaining how... Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation...
