This gives the "work of God", which is to bring people to a belief in Christ. It is not saying anything about what kinds of good works that man is required to be involved in. You make it sound like that believing in Christ is the only work that man is required to be involved in, but this...

You may not think salvation is the issue, but if you are vomited out of the mouth of Jesus, I believe your salvation is at an end, you will not be with Jesus for eternity.

You think I am bias because I think that vomiting one out of your mouth is an ugly kind of description? Do you think that being unbiased would be associating vomiting with a kind of nice event? I really don't see how calling vomiting an ugly event makes me biased at all, maybe you can...

If no one can convince you that Jesus addressed them as a Church if they were lost men, then you must believe Jesus was addressing saved men. If Jesus was addressing saved men, then some of them were going to be vomited out of his mouth and this is a poignant demonstration that some will lose...

sorry my error

What happens to the autonomous power and authority before the throne if your church believes in the gospel in a diferent way that another church believes in the gospel. You can see that massive difference in the thread "not by works". Do you see what I mean? Both churches cannot have the same...

I agree fully that Jesus was talking to the church of Laodicia and he was talking to them as saved men. I agree too, that they were a wayward church in need of repentance.

1 Corinthians 14:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: This does not indicate he used his gift of toungues in private prayer. He may have, but I would have expected from your scripture to say "I speak in tongues more than ye all, and especially in...

So in this case there is a second chance to hear the gospel, if you did not have that chance on earth? That seems fair.

Why did Jesus go to the spirit prision after he died for 3 days to preach to the spirits in prison? (1 Peter 3:19) If there was no chance to repent after we die, then why would Jesus spend the time to preach to those who were dead and in a spirit prison?

Hannah is correct, and did you know she was the 2nd wife of a common Israelite named Elkanah. Elkanah was a polygamist and had 2 wives, Hannah and Peninnah (1 Samuel 1:2). So Hannah's son, one of the great prophets of the OT came from a polygamist family. I thought that was interesting as I...

Do we, living under grace, have to be concerned with Matthew 6:14-15?

I believe that Paul does distinquish between the dead works of the Law of Moses, and good works of the Law of Christ: Galatians 6:2 King James Version (KJV) 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. What do you think happens to a saved person that does not fulfil the Law...

When you say "most of them (the words of Jesus) are not for the body of Christ, since the body of Christ was in mystery form", this is a little fuzzy to me. Are you saying that the body of Christ today do not have to be concerned with most of the words of Jesus Christ spoken in the NT?

It would be a little clearer if in Genesis 15:6 it had said, he believed in the Lord and was saved unto Eternal Life. But it does not mention Abraham being saved? It does says, And the Lord accounted it unto him for righteousness. So Abraham is told that his seed/children would be numbered...

It is simple. If a man says/claims he has faith and then shows forth no evidential works (to evidence his claim), then we and God knows that his faith is a dead faith and profits him nothing. Right?

If you truly believe and have the baptism of the spirit, you will be indwelt. The byproduct of being indwelt is you will do the same things that Jesus does. Do you disagree. Hence come follow me and do what I do. We are not sheep, we are indwelt.

Why in heavens name would James be teaching us about a faith that justifies us before man? Does man save us? No! That seems to be a proposterous position to take on what James clearly is teaching, "a faith that justifies us to God". How do you come to the conlusion that James is teaching us...

Who is this interloper voice in James?

Yes, I think that is good advise. So when Jesus says to do something, I will try to do it. I will not ignore it because somehow it does not pertain to the gospel of grace.
