    What place does works have in the life of a Christian?

    Never said that. Nothing I've said nor the scriptures I posted that you quoted imply nor state that. Please don't throw out red herrings.

    No 'But '

    As scriptures that have been proven show, yes. Why do you argue with what is actually in agreement with some of the things you've said?

    Prove that please. Point for point as pertains to the article and your finding of verses that prove what is written in the article is false. Making an assertion twice as you have without proof does not make the article become what you claim without proof backing your claim. Thanks again.

    No 'But '

    I have no intention of arguing with you concerning your personal theology. I will say as a last input on this talk between the two of us that it will always be a struggle for anyone who claims Christ to think they have to labor, work, obey, in whatever definition they apply to that word, in...

    Sorry that I wasn't more clear using scripture. Perhaps someone else who drafted an article that fully explains may help you. I hope so because it is an important part of our walk I think. :) Thanks for the work John. Are works a part of our salvation? Let’s talk about Ephesians 2:8-9...

    I cannot understand the need for the crucifixion-and i think it’s holding my Christian life back

    The first law of God, the first commandment also, was given in the garden. When God forgave people before the cross, why was the cross necessary for God to crucify himself upon in order to render his grace to the whole world? When Jesus was God.

    What place does works have in the life of a Christian?

    You're wrong. Read Revelation 17 and chapter 20 so that you don't continue believing what is wrong about our judgment day.

    Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. That is how we come to salvation, through faith, belief, in the gospel. Sadly, many teachers think verse 9 tells us we do not...

    I cannot understand the need for the crucifixion-and i think it’s holding my Christian life back

    Being Omniscient, why didn't God destroy that one after he led and lost the rebellion against God in Heaven? Rather than let him fall to earth and reign here as its lord. And then, allow him to return to heaven to confer with God from time to time. I can see the point of concern in the OP. God...

    What place does works have in the life of a Christian?

    Does it? Works are a key part of our salvation. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out...

    What place does works have in the life of a Christian?

    Another word for works is deeds. Good deeds. Matthew 6:1-4 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the...

    What About Saved by Grace?

    If they're a Christian already? No, repentance doesn't regain heaven. Our sins aren't counted against us as they were before we were saved. We're not perfect being Christian, but we are eternally forgiven as our sins are put under the blood of Christ that washed us clean when we accepted him as...

    " Maybe its real and im just not Chosen "

    This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day John 6:39 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:44 Then if only those predestined to...

    What About Saved by Grace?

    Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Is that one that committed murder or adultery able to repent of those sins? Yes.
