Saved by faith alone?

[HeIsHere]

Well James is

You are funny, all letters are written with believers in view.

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

Scripture uses "save" for the saving of the soul which is distinct from spiritual salvation (eternal life).

Now I have heard everything
your souls can be saved but maybe you do not have eternal life?

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

LOL. If the soul is not saved, eternal life is not the outcome.

Amen
Sounds sort of gnostic to
Me

 

[HeIsHere]

Well he evidently believes we can be saved without faith
sounds almost Calvinistic

Never, ever made such a statement with intent to express such a thing, unless I missed a word or made a typo.
I thought you were better than that. sigh.

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

The Apostle Paul said he ran a good race and fought the good fight.

That is a lot of effort to be doing to think his Letters mean we do nothing because God does it all.

The old sanctification vs justification mix up

 

[HeIsHere]

Now I have heard everything
your souls can be saved but maybe you do not have eternal life?

Never stated that either.
We are done.

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

Does he outline this false gospel?

Well let’s see.
I told you this a few times already. I guess you maybe hope others did not see it?
if salvation is by grace through faith
what happens when you have no faith your faith is dead or your faith is not in God
kind of hard to be saved
so what do you do? You direct people to true faith

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

Never stated that either.
We are done.

Dude we never started
you keep saying stuff then denying it
Then blame the ones who try to point it out to you

 

[HeIsHere]

Where does James do this?

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

Oh yes, James is telling them to see if they have works so they know they are saved.
Lots of people do good works.

No
James is asking them to test their faith
is it a claimed faith only. Or is it living faith
James Abraham and many others showed their faith by their works

You just have words no actions. Is your faith real?

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

Where does James do this?

Read the conversation
it’s what the whole conversation is about
either James contradicted Paul. Or James was directing his words to a different group of people

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

You are funny, all letters are written with believers in view.

And all letters have warning to non believers who are reading or hearing the words
does your church only have believers? Are you sure they are all saved
We should never do this and the apostles did Not either

 

[HeIsHere]

Now I have heard everything
your souls can be saved but maybe you do not have eternal life?

Obviously who do not understand the word "distinct" and how I am using it.
Have a good day.

Dead means inoperative/separated in the Greek and in context.
Do some research.

It's clearly something that certain people will proclaim they do nothing to be in God by using the Letters of Paul but reject Paul's final sentiment that he made a serious effort in life to live for God and called it winning a race and fighting the good fight which means he contributed great effort to be a believer.

 

[GWH]

I will if you tell me what GRFS means?

God's requirement for salvation (cf. Acts 16:30).

 

[GWH]

If they are not saved. Then them doing good is not going to help them
what good is it if you do good then end up in hell because your faith was not real ?

I agree, but does that mean you agree with what I said?

 

[GWH]

Does it?

Yes, but why do you apparently disagree?

 

[GWH]

Well he evidently believes we can be saved without faith
sounds almost Calvinistic

It sounds more like we can be saved without being saved.
