    The whole world has been offered the gift of salvation. Anyone who does not receive salvation is not God's fault for it is His will for all to come to salvation. To say only a select few have been offered that gift is simply not true. There is no scripture to support that statement.

    A sinner saved by grace is saved according to scripture. Faith is how Abraham pleased God. Faith is the guiding light IMO and that faith grows from a babe in Christ to maturity along the way. Or some people may stay a babe in Christ. As for living the Way, even though we are saved we are...

    John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. Do we sometimes make salvation the gift more complicated that it is?

    We either accept Jesus Christ through confession, repentance and trust or we do not. I'm not understanding "false faith or false confession."

    I believe if we belong to Christ we will desire to go out and be His feet, hands and mouth not because we is gain anything by it but because the HS within us will lead us to do such. Motives to me are very important. Motives to do any good thing in the Name of Jesus should be because of our...

    DC has never said to be lazy, not work for Christ's Kingdom nor that not working was a license to sin. He isn't here to defend himself. I know what he believes however.

    Faith is a simple word, yet a very huge part of being a Christ follower.

    And you are probably correct but "works" just seems to me more generic. I like the sound of fruits, kind of like growth

    I like DC and I love this thread. People with a passion for their beliefs can often get "aggressive" but I'd rather be known as aggressive rather than passive. My personality is sometimes "deep"

    I have much faith. I do not concentrate on works. My faith is not dead. IMHO if one has faith even as a mustard seed, they will produce works. Works should be for spreading the Word of God and producing more faith in others. That's how I see it.

    I can believe people "reporting" too much. If one cannot win an argument one way, they will just try to get their opposition banned; kind of like what's going on in today's media world.

    We are seeing so much censorship all across social media. What ever happened to "free speech." Oh well then I personally believe we must keep this thread opened and express truth.
