It does actually.

1. Whatever works Jesus did were not His own but of the one who sent Him. It is by those works that He was perfected/saved because He obeyed.

2. Whatever works saints do today are not their own but the works of the one who sent them (Jesus).

"..whatever you did to one of these little ones (in need) you did it for me.."
Jesus

And these works are what are referred to as faith.

If they survive/endure the tribulation then only logical the body has survived.

Context is important... it can mean "bodily salvation" and sometimes the soul (mind, will emotions.
In Mediterranean languages people use saved in many different ways.

There's no such thing as being bodily saved.

"..The one who perseveres to the end shall be saved"

You say the above statement as used by Jesus twice in Matthew, mean to be bodily saved. I have a question for you:

Q. Did Stephen's failure to persevere to the end the reason he was killed and could not be saved bodily?

This applies to all the disciples/Apostles - all of them got killed and non was saved bodily.

Well you simply words and their multiple meanings.. but then that would be essential to make your false dogma work.

What a mess! So Christ did the works of the one who sent Him (God the Father) and by that Christ was saved? o_O I did not realize that Christ needed to be saved. Also, he "defines" faith "as" works. Faith is faith and works are works. Works-salvationists cannot seem to grasp that.

Heb 5:7During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. 8Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him

John 10:37If I am not doing the works of My Father, then do not believe Me.

Really?! I'm a little surprised you believe that.

Are you referring strictly to the 7 year Great Tribulation?

Matthew 24 is great tribulation context. Eternal salvation is not the context but physically enduring to the end and being ushered into the millennial kingdom.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Acts 27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

What type of death is referred to here? Spiritual death or physical, sacrificial death on the cross? Jesus is the source of salvation and did not need to be saved from spiritual death.

Spiritual. The same kind of death that we are also being saved from.

Can't you see the comparison in the same verse. Jesus was saved because He obeyed and now He is the source of salvation for those that obey Him.

And, there is such a thing as obedience that leads to righteousness but there's no such a thing as righteousness that leads to obedience.

Wrong! The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) yet Jesus was without sin. (Hebrews 4:15) This is heresy!

You don't know what you are confidently insinuating.
We are in the great tribulation, we have been since the 1st century.

No it doesn't, but it's like saying, " Jesus being our righteousness does not mean He was righteous"

Jesus was perfected by what He suffered.
Jesus increased in wisdom
Jesus was made victorious over sin (salvation/resurrection) because He obeyed the one who could save Him.

Maybe I should clarify my question.

OBVIOUSLY, you can find passages dealing with people being saved from whatever in Scripture in an earthly sense. Heck, the whole Book of Exodus chronicles that.

I'm talking about passages like THIS:
Romans 10:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


If this doesn't mean born again, saved from destruction, what DOES it mean?
