All these verses are specifically referring to How a person GETS SAVED. There are hundreds of other verses in Scriptures that plainly teach what a person MUST do once they ARE SAVED.
Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. :9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
This is NOT a suggestion, this is NOT saying try to put off these things, this Holy Inspired Word of God is teaching us CHRISTIANS what we MUST do now that you ARE SAVED. Woe to this generation who does not understand the simplicity of believing the Scriptures.
Heb_12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
NOT a suggestion, but what Scriptures plainly and simply instructs those who ARE SAVED to DO. Woe to this generation who believe this or that particular verse all the while make void hundreds of other verses because they do not line up with their doctrines that they hold on to.
People, wake up. Understand there is a big difference from "Getting Saved" and "Being Saved" Better start understanding this, or you will find that you are left behind.
Most Typical Christian of today believe and rely on all the verses about "Getting Saved" and altogether ignore, make void, or interpret away, all the hundreds of verses which plainly teach what a person MUST Do once they ARE SAVED.
Tit_3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
NOT a suggestion, what we are suppose to do. What? if a person does Good Works in this generation they are judged as trying to get to Heaven through their good works? And don't let anyone teach in this generation to make sure to maintain Good Works, because if you do they will hang you at the stake and start fire to it, because you are teaching works for Salvation, you are evil if you teach to this generation that Faith and Works go hand in hand. EXACTLY what Scriptures plainly teach as well. But no this generation don't have any works, therefore to justify their own NOT having any works, persecute those who teach you are suppose to have works ALSO.
Surely if i tell you a Truth, you will say that i am boasting and the such, but so that you may grasp the TRUTH, i will tell it to you. whatsoever i ask in prayer, i do receive. (only one exception though) What am i now evil and wicked because i tell you that God grants to me whatsoever i ask in prayer? Do you also think the Apostles are evil and wicked as well for they testify to the same thing.
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
So let me understand, if i say that same thing, which is True, i am wicked and evil, but if the Apostle says it, he is right and Holy? How does the Apostle John get from Jesus whatsoever he asks Him for? Well he plainly tells us that too.
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should 1) believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ (FAITH), AND 2) love one another (WORKS), as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
i teach Faith + Works = Salvation, which i also live by. i have Faith and Works and anything i ask in prayer is given to me. Do you ask and receive not? Maybe because you believe in Faith ONLY, and have no works at all. Therefore is the reason your prayers are not answered. i teach what Scriptures teach. Those who believe Scriptures will believe what i teach, because what i teach is what Scriptures teach. Jesus and i are ONE. Light up the torches, there will be a fire tonight.
