Salvation is by grace, through faith and NOT of works. (Ephesians 2:8-9) In regard to salvation, faith and our works ARE mutually exclusive. Romans 11: 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then is it no more of...

I do not "have it backwards." This "flesh" IS sin, it wars against the Spirit. And "flesh and blood" will not inherit the Kingdom. Our physical, earthly, corrupt, mortal bodies will either perish or be instantly transformed at Christ's return. This corruption must put on incorruption and this...

As saved, born again believers who are disciples, yes. Our “holiness” does not and cannot save us. What isn’t clear is mixing grace and works for salvation. All you have then is a confusing mess that saves no one. Salvation is in Christ alone. No, you are not. You are mixing grace with works...

Jesus did not come to this world through the Incarnation and die on the cross just to make it possible for us to save ourselves. He is the One Who saves us, period. Anything else is a false Gospel and is condemned by the inspired word of God.

Matthew 11: 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

You promote a “works based salvation”. It is “another Gospel” and a diabolical lie. No one is earning their own salvation. No one has any reason to boast of themselves before God.

You don’t actually know me and you have no idea what “works” I may have or not have. I am certainly not about to boast in myself in this regard. When you say that grace is not enough but that we must add our own efforts, that is “works based salvation.” “Putting human belief in certain...

What is the answer Jesus gives to the question “what must we do to work the works of God?” Salvation is salvation, discipleship is discipleship. They are not the same thing. Salvation, which is entirely by the grace of God, comes first. Discipleship is our “reasonable service” as already...

False. Salvation is by the obedience of ONE. Discipleship (which comes after salvation and is a lifelong commitment) is “our reasonable service.” We grow in God’s grace and in Spiritual maturity throughout our lives once we are born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of...

Go back and read my posts. I took nothing out of context. Your assertions and accusations are false and entirely unfounded.

When it comes to salvation, works do not improve anyone’s chances with God. Salvation is by grace, through faith and NOT of works, lest any man should boast. Actually, there’s nothing “imaginary” about it. Grace is grace and works are works; the two cannot be mixed. Our faith in Christ and...

People have used the Bible. You have ignored and dismissed that. Unfortunate.

You can go ahead and continue trusting in works for salvation if you so choose. Jesus is not going to reject anyone who has done “the will of the Father” and believed on the Son. I truly hope you will never tell anyone that putting all of their trust and faith in Christ for salvation is not...

False. The “twisted Gospel that caters to men” is works based salvation. It is prideful and arrogant and absolutely erroneous to believe one can earn or merit salvation in ANY way. We are saved by the obedience of ONE (and it isn’t us). We have no reason to boast before the Lord, only in Christ...

You mischaracterize what true, saving faith is. That’s unfortunate. I don’t just believe a list of facts about Christ, I TRUST Him entirely for salvation. Part of that trust is realizing that I CANNOT save myself or trust in my own works or “righteousness”, because I have none and nothing I do...

I shared far more than one verse and I took nothing out of context. Salvation is NOT by works. It is by grace, through faith. No one can boast because they have not earned it and cannot earn it, it is a GIFT. Period. I’m truly sorry you disagree with that.

John 3: 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not...

This has nothing whatsoever to do with “turning on each other”. People are not our enemies, we are in a very real spiritual battle. I think that some very clear and necessary warnings and reasons for concern were shared earlier in this thread.

That’s not what I said. There are shows on Netflix that have nothing to do with faith or spirituality. Even if I do choose to watch a “Christian” program, I try my best to pay very close attention to the actual message. More often than not these days, “Christian” programs are not trustworthy...

Why do you think that believers should find everything on Netflix positive? If they promote and/or endorse an aberrant message, why shouldn’t we speak up? (Especially if that message and content is supposed to be “Christian”.) The Bible commands us to be discerning and to “mark and avoid”...
