I have always believed as you say, but I live way up here in the liberal NE in a town where one church has a lesbian who lives with he lover as pastor.We have a couple of gay friends who say they are Christians.They were just married in another church where they are deacons.Many of our friends went to the wedding as they believe as you say,they are all saved by faith alone as their church also preaches.I am disturbed by this,but they seem a lot better than I am with volunteering and helping,etc
I never heard of brother J Vernon till today, what a blessing, what truth and what sense spoken,,,,,,:O)
Romans 11:6: And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
The Sermon on the Mount needs to be viewed for what it is : the Ministry of Death ! (II Cor 3:7) It cannot produce life. But it does an excellent job in revealing how great sinners we are, thereby compelling us to find refuge in the cross of Christ. Sinners, be genuine & honest and accept your condition, and trust Christ. Else, be hypocrites and tell the world that the Sermon has changed you and made you a new creation. Thanks for this video. It's blessed me, and hope will bless many more.
"For we see that by works a man is justified and NOT by faith alone." (James 2:24). This is the one verse in St. James's epistle that caused Martin Luther to question the book. He called it, "an epistle of straw." He also wanted to through the book of James out of the Bible until his friends persuaded him that such a move would be "too raidcal." God bless.
@Thecontroversy7 "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace."
Sure sounds like we are NOT under law. And if someone doesn't believe in eternal security by the faith OF Christ, there's a reason. They are not saved.
Everlasting life sounds like OSAS to me! If people could lose their salvation by their own actions then Jesus was a liar! An overcomer is the one who stays true to the simplicity of the Gospel, that we’re saved by grace through faith, neither adding to nor subtracting from it!
he is a courageous man, man of CHRiST, to reveal those we support and we love and we excuse, yet they seek to kill us with our love, charity, we must take these sons of ESAU and bind them, or destroy them, we know who they are,,,,
Do you believe that God exists? You do good. The devil believes and trembles.Do you want evidence that faith WITHOUT deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham not justified when he laid Issac upon the altar? You see that his faith and his actions working together and his faith WAS MADE COMPLETE
as the Scripture sayeth: ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD AND IT CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HE WAS CALLED THE FRIEND OF GOD.

Abraham was not saved by works, but, think about it, if Abraham did nothing, would he have any faith?

Faith + Nothing added = Salvation!
