    He said it was very good.

    After. So God makes things very good but doesn't keep them that way? Can't there be good people even after the fall?

    Jesus said none but God was good...do you disagree now?


    You now claim to be also just as good as Jesus claimed only God is?

    Oops. No. Sorry, I meant your NT proof text occurred after the fall.

    Do you disagree that Jesus will call you good?

    "Will call"?

    I can only say what Jesus DID CALL....
    and I see none yet here that can change what he taught...

    Unless you have more authority than God?

    Was that a reference to Jesus' God?

    Unless you have more authority than Jesus?

    Besides, don't you believe that your salvation isn't something that WILL happen in the future, because it's an event that has already occurred in the past?

    And once-saved-always-saved to that, as a rule. The scriptures state we receive the promise of eternal life here:


    1 John 2:25---King James Version (KJV)


    25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

    And this promise is conditional:


    Hebrews 10:36---King James Version (KJV)


    36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

    If salvation is by faith and not works why on earth do you say that a person must add works for salvation?

    You must obey God's will to get salvation. He wants you to have faith in Christ, repent of your sins, be baptized, and then walk the path of a disciple, the path that leads to eternal life. None of that adds works for salvation. It's all just part of being obedient, and the disobedient shall not get eternal life. Just ask Satan.

    That is why we say that Mormonism is a works based salvation.

    Does that include the Biblical record also?

    Hebrews 5:9 (King James Version)

    9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

    Salvation is by God's grace--not by faith. I add works to faith so it won't be a dead faith:

    James 2:20 (King James Version)

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

    God gives his grace in many ways to both believers and unbelievers. We are saved when we put out trust (faith) in Christ to save us. Works do not contribute to salvation. BTW dead faith = no faith.

    works do not save....

    The only thing that is called a "work" is that we "Believe" in God's only son.

    All the other works that I do are off-shoots of this one true "work" and that is my faith.

    So the works that I "do" are to confirm my faith.
    No works show us that there is a dead faith that is useless to others.

    I living faith will produce works.

    "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone

    a lot of CULTS and a lot of believers still try to slide works into helping us get saved.....

    They are in error.


    Works dont save....

    Works confirm you are saved....

    This is because the world cant see into your heart, the world cant tell by looking at your heart if you are saved...
    But the world can look at your actions, words and deeds....and from these things the world can learn if you are walking the Christian walk...


    So my works do not make me saved.
    But my works do show Im saved.

    if I have no works to be seen, it shows you that I have a faith that is moot to my life (ie dead faith)

    But ifI have works, then I dont need to try to prove to you Im saved, you can see in my works that I am saved.
