From Similar
Confusion on another forum:
Is Salvation "SAME AS": "...he shall REWARD(?) every man according to his works. Now these are the words of Jesus (the Son of man), you know the savior of the world."... (bt)
Biblical Response:
We did
notice "What The Scripture" Did Say ( And also "what It Did NOT say"):
Did NOT Say: he will
SAVE every man according to his works
But Did SAY: "He Shall REWARD every man according to his works", Thus:
Fits Perfectly with "Christ's Wholesome Words" To Paul about:
1) the { Unfaithful } sinning ( God-Saved ) saint at Corinth:
"To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be
SAVED In The [ Judgment ] Day of The Lord Jesus." (1 Corinthians 5:5 AV)
Corroborated By
Plain And Clear Scripture!:
2)
ALL ( faithful And unfaithful ) "members ( God OPERATED On 'at THE Very Moment of faith/belief/trust' ) of The Body Of Christ" At The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ:
"Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive
his own
REWARD according to his own labour. For
we are labourers together with
God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building... ( ↑↑ ALL the
Eternally Saved-By-God "members"! ✓ )
...According to The Grace of God Which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have
laid
The Foundation, and another buildeth
Thereon. But let every man take heed how he
buildeth
Thereupon.
For other foundation can no man lay than
That is laid,
Which Is Jesus Christ.
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for
The Day Shall Declare it,
because it shall be Revealed By fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what
sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive
a
REWARD.
If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer
loss: but he himself
Shall Be Saved;
yet so as by fire." (1 Corinthians 3:8-15 AV)
Conclusion: 'losing'
God's Eternal Salvation = Impossible! But:
'losing REWARDS' Is Very Possible!!
Thus:
another
Plain And Clear Scripture Added To the "Saved-By-Grace Through faith [ Only ]
/ NOT of ourselves / NOT of works / NO boasting permitted!" Verses (8-9):
"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we SHOULD walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10 AV)
2nd Conclusion: It is Very
Dangerous to
Change God's Words To "
MUST walk in them", eh?
Amen.
Grace, Peace, Mercy, And Love!
