Faith plus works for salvation or to keep salvation = ZERO............as well as making the MANY group that gets cast.....!!!
This is an interesting sentence "Faith + works"
It assumes by speaking this you can seperate Faith from its results. The results of faith show
its source. Apostle Peter was shocked when his love of Jesus, and the confusion of Jesus accepting
arrest, and submitting to death simply made no sense to a friend who knew Jesus would not die,
and victory was assured. But there he was denying Jesus, when he could be exposed and arrested
himself, while he was happy to see what was going to happen.
This broke him, so certain and yet so wrong. Faith is only true if it leads to life and has the right
direction. Yet some really believe faith can have whatever effect, and it is still right and true.
Once you say no, faith shows itself by the fruit of the Spirit in someones life, then Amen, welcome
brother and sister in Christ. What is sad is those who think there is a dispute here, when in truth,
something else is at play in some hearts.
Maybe the idea of belief, however expressed matters more than the reality in a believers heart, and
only the right signs matter. This seems to be a denial of what love really is, and wanting truth of
expression and real cleansing so people are truly walking in the Holy Spirit, and not just a religious
belief system. It is little wonder those who hate belief systems and fake expressions, might themselves
fall for the same deception. You know things are fake, when you accept everything is fake. Kind of poetic,
saying truth is actually admiting everything is fake. This is Christ is actually a lie. We are the speakers of
truth, because it is Christ in us calling out to the world bringing hope to the lost.
