Another Believer, reminded me of this HYMN - JESUS PAID IT ALL.
I wonder what those who believe their works must finish what HE began, will SAY TO HIM, when HE reveals that - JESUS PAID IT ALL. Will their lack of TRUST that JESUS PAID IT ALL, mean that they have fallen for a FALSE GOSPEL, or that HIS MERCY will COVER their foolishness?

THIS CLEARLY SHOWS TWO KIND OF SOWERS(WORKERS).
NO ONE REAPS WITHOUT SOWING ANYTHING.
ONLY THE "DEAD" DO NOT WORK.
James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
WHY DO YOU MOCK GOD??????

Why do you NOT see the Forest for the Trees? You have refused to GIVE GOD AND JESUS CHRIST, all of the CREDIT for your SALVATION:
Titus 3:4-7 (HCSB)
[SUP]4 [/SUP] But when the goodness of God and His love for mankind appeared,
[SUP]5 [/SUP] He saved us— not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
[SUP]6 [/SUP] He poured out this ⌊Spirit⌋ on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
[SUP]7 [/SUP] so that having been justified by His grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

To get this over with, i want to ask dcon “HOW IS ONE SAVED"?
the bible tells us about it this way;
Romans 10:8-18 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, “JESUS IS LORD,” AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And HOW CAN THEY BELIEVE in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear WITHOUT SOMEONE PREACHING TO THEM? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” Consequently, FAITH COMES FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
It is clear that PREACHING is a WORK necessary for one to BELIEVE and have FAITH and therefore be SAVED.
Another thing we need to notice is that WITH THE HEART WE BELIEVE AND ARE JUSTIFIED and WITH OUR MOUTH WE CONFESS AND ARE SAVED.
Believe and confess are two different words with different meaning, the same as justified and saved.
Romans 10 clearly proves that Salvation is not through Faith ALONE.
BELIEF,, CONFESSION, REPENTANCE, PREACHING, BAPTISM, OBEDIENCE , FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, WISDOM, HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS, GOOD WORKS, SERVICE, WORSHIP ETC. ARE ALL WORKS OF SALVATION THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST POSSESS AND DO FOR THE HONOR AND GLORY AND PRAISE OF GOD OUR FATHER AND HIS ONLY SON JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
IF ONE CLAIMS TO HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH, (gal 3:14) AND THEN SAY THAT HIS/HER FAITH ALONE SAVED HIM/HER AND THAT WITHOUT WORKS, DOESN’T HE/SHE REJECTS AND TRAMPLES UNDER FOOT THE SON OF GOD AND INSULTS THE SPIRIT OF GRACE?
Hebrews 10:28-29 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
IF THE WORKS OF GOD WHO IS LOVE (1john 4:8 & 16) THE SON WHO IS TRUTH (john 14:6) AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS THE POWER (acts 1:8) HAVE NO POWER TO SAVE AND EVEN OBEDIENCE TO THESE WORKS IS REJECTED BY SAYING THAT FAITH “ALONE” SAVES VOID OF WORKS, ARE YOU NOT A LIAR AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN YOU?
1 John 2:3-6 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.
I CAN CLAIM THAT I HAVE FAITH AND I AM SAVED FOREVER BUT WITHOUT “LOVE”, I AM NOTHING AND I AM NOT WORTHY OF GOD’S LOVE.
2 John 1:4-11 It has given me great joy to find some of your children WALKING IN THE TRUTH, just as the Father commanded us. And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.
Isaiah 5:20-24 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.

He that believes on the Son is having (present tense) everlasting life.<---no works attached
It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. <---no works attached
If you believe with the mind and confess with the mouth that God has raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved. <---no works attached
NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HAS HE SAVED US. <---NO WORKS ATTACHED OR REQUIRED TO OBTAIN ETERNAL SALVATION.
THEREFORE, we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds/works of the law. <--NO WORKS REQUIRED.

Workers for pay attention. Jesus speaks about you when he states clearly that MANY will come before his throne believing they have a right to enter based upon their many works they have done in the name of Jesus....only yo be cast from his presence because HE DOES NOT KNOW YOU....WHY? Because you have come by another false religious door that has no power to save....that door being FAITH PLUS WORKS to gain, keep, embellish and or top off salvation.....
WORKS OR GRACE...one or the other....both together as a gospel for salvation or to supposedly keep salvation = false gospel and cast from his presence....MOST SO CALLED CHRISTIAN religions push and peddle this so called gospel with NO POWER TO SAVE!!!!
WORKS OR GRACE...one or the other....both together as a gospel for salvation or to supposedly keep salvation = false gospel and cast from his presence....MOST SO CALLED CHRISTIAN religions push and peddle this so called gospel with NO POWER TO SAVE!!!!
Amen....come on bro...You know Jesus is inept, weak, cannot keep his word, finish what he started and his promises are akin to a politician in Cambodia running for office......He needs our help and our works and religious hoop jumping because he cannot quite get us over the finish line......
*Sarcasm ALERT*
For the record....Jesus is God, keeps his promises, keeps us by his power, finishes what he has started and eternally saves, seals and justifies ALL who place 100% faith and trust into his finished work on the cross.....
Those who embellish with works to TOP OFF THE DEAL...STATE CLEARLY THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE OR PLACE THEIR FULL TRUST INTO CHRIST.....regardless of what they say.....
Any of the following beyond faith for salvation speaks to a lack of trust and or false religion...
I must do something
Works required
Must be my religious persuasion
Must be a member of hickory stick church
Must keep sacraments
Must be Bappp-TIZED
Must speak in tongues
Must backflip down the isle
Must give money
Must confess to a man in a box
etc........

Revelation 3:1-3 To the Church in Sardis “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but YOU ARE DEAD. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
Jude 1:17-19 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.

THIS CLEARLY SHOWS TWO KIND OF SOWERS(WORKERS).
NO ONE REAPS WITHOUT SOWING ANYTHING.
ONLY THE "DEAD" DO NOT WORK.
James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Revelation 3:1-3 To the Church in Sardis “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but YOU ARE DEAD. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
Jude 1:17-19 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
2 John 1:7-11 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.
James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
WHY DO YOU MOCK GOD??????

MATTHEW;5; 16; Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,and glorify your Father which is in heaven............. (Good works before Jesus was done in vain, because they only believed in God the Father ,and not the Son. This was so that everyone, without good works or with good works could be saved the one same way. By grace. Those that believed on the Son and received his spirit.
You can forget it....no one, including you keeps the law, nor does it add one micro gram of salvation to salvation....Grace or works pal.....one or the other.......end of story!

Interesting so I only post the words of the Messiah.. HIS WORDS ONLY...
and you accuse me...
end of story indeed... Seems you don't like or agree with what the Messiah taught, as you spout on and on about things never stated by me as if to use them in manner of proof of guilt or falsehood.
His words... His words... He is the King... He is the Judge.... He is the Messiah...
satan hates those who do both:

amen bro, God has a reputation to keep. He is not going to do what satan wants people to think he will, God is pure love, and love never fails,
The Apostle Paul tried to resist God's gift, and God struck him temporarily blind, very foolish thought.
Doxology: Romans11:33-36
33) Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34) “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?”
35) “Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”
36) For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.

The true faith will be displayed through love, obedience, fruit, works....
No believer is against works. All we're saying is that no one is justified by works, and salvation is not maintained by us either.
Some will say that obedience to the end is necessary for salvation... so then this is just adding to the cross. It ends up being works in the guise of obedience, because it's making it necessary. It's a false gospel of Jesus + our obedience/work = salvation.
Without faith it's impossible to please God. Those who worship God must worship in Spirit and in truth. A spiritually dead person can do nothing to fix there internal state. Only God can. It's at that moment a person believes that God then does a work of creation in them, making them alive in Christ. He knows what He's doing
