So to prove that my faith is in him you should see fruit in my life. And if you are saved I should see fruit in your life not. Love , joy , peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control . All of these are what God desires for his children to be, because there is a hungry world. And until the church understands we can't produce these things apart from him, we have nothing to offer the hungry but more condemnation, and death.

James 2:17.26


17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

John 6:28-29
Then they asked him, what must we do to do the works that God requires? Jesus answered ,the work of God is this, to believe in the one he sent.

It seems no one can answer the straight question of whether physical works are involved in salvation or not. Most say no, and then turn around and quote Romans which strongly advocates physical works for salvation. I know I am playing devil's advocate, but we need a consistent balance and the doctrine of faith only leaves out personal responsibility to live holy. I am assuming Mr. Pickett that you believe works/obedience to live holy is necessary for salvation?

I must admit I havent read all the post on this thread but I would like to give points to consider.

1. If the word of God is a two edge sword wouldnt benefit both Pastor and Listener to both Grace and Law (Mt. Transfiguration both are present) in a well blended sermon

2. If we did nothing to recieve salvation except believe wouldnt we have to stop believeing to lose it .

3. Also how can we lose what is not ours to give , if we say we can lose the price and blood payed at Calvary doesnt Christ 4need to return an clear a better path.

4. My word says it is finished and I choose to trust Christ , we are saved by Grace through Faith so no can boast

Moses Lost Faith
Elijah Lost Faith
Peter Lost faith
Heck, most of the Isralites lost faith at one time or another and the Apostles too..

BUT NONE OF THEM LOST SALVATION ONCE IT WAS OBTAINED.

Casey its obvious from all the other post that we've debated that you and I just flat don't agree on Eternal Security of the believer. I'm guessing but you prolly come from a Pentecostal Background ( or similar) ?

I believe it's a very important issue but it's ok that we don't agree. I can see that you're not changing your mind and I SURE AIN'T changing mine..

PS.... I'll see ya in Gloryland someday.... ( where I'll lean over and whisper in your ear , "see I told ya so ")... Have a good day Casey.

Mr. Franklin, I have spent much time studying many of those topics you mentioned particularly Soteriology, Sanctification, and Justification.

James 1:1, Are you one of or part of the Twelve Tribes?

No hackles here but when an, un- truth is spoken out as truth i have a God Given Charge to challenge it my friend

I am an adopted son of Abraham.........
Romans 9:4
King James Version (KJV)
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

Ephesians 1:4-6
King James Version (KJV)

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

What does Christ being the Good Sheppard and the only way to the Father have to do with losing salvation ? The Gospel gets messed up when we try to fill in a blank when theres not one . So Noah didnt survive the flood because he got drunk and was by his sons . When are we going to stop? Just make sure you have on your wedding garments ( THE BLOOD OF JESUS )

Romans 4:16
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

Jeremiah 36:22-24
King James Version (KJV)

22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.

23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
