    Default Because or for?

    “Among whom we all once lived in the p***ions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our tresp***es, made us alive together with Christ — by grace you have been saved.” Eph. 2:3-5


    All of God’s wrath, all of the condemnation we deserve, was poured out on Jesus. All of God’s demands for perfect righteousness were fulfilled by Christ. The moment we see (by grace) this truth and receive him in this way his death counts as our death and his condemnation as our condemnation and his righteousness as our righteousness, and God becomes 100% irrevocably for us forever before we knew or obeyed His commands.
    Paul is saying that, before regeneration, God’s wrath was on us. Those who are now saved were under wrath. This changed when God made us alive in Christ Jesus and awakened us to see the truth of Christ so that we received him as the one who died for us and as the one whose righteousness is counted as ours because of our union with Jesus. Before this happened to us, we were under God’s wrath. Then, because of faith in Christ and union with him, all God’s wrath was removed we are no longer blind and we want to obey His commands.

    As Walter Martin said...It's not by faith alone nor works alone or any combination of the two but by Grace Alone though faith we are saved.

    Then why do the faith alone claim salvation comes through a faith alone theology? Walter Martin believed in the faith alone theology.

    That's what I said, he makes absolutely no sense. According to his definition "Grace is God's Love" and since we know God loves everybody, does that mean Grace is given to everybody???
    The Bible also says in several places that God will give mercy to those who first extends mercy to others...
    So what he needs to explain is whether Grace is salvation?
    Is Faith salvation?
    When exactly does salvation come to an individual?

    Either way he will contradict himself, it's utter nonsense, made to make a person feel good about himself while remaining in sin.

    How does any of this negate the fact Paul taught that all who did not obey the gospel could not inherit the kingdom of God?

    2 Thessalonians 1:7-9---King James Version (KJV)
    7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
    8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
    9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;


    Disciple--the faith alone preach there are no acts of obedience that is necessary for eternal life---it's a faith without works in salvation, in the faith alone theology. They believe one is saved through dead faith:

    James 2:26---King James Version (KJV)
    26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

    They seem to literally not see this......
    They read the statement above,and their minds replace the words so it reads "Faith alone saves"
    Then they turn around and demand of me, "Where does it say man is saved by faith alone as you believe?"

    They just dont see what they are doing....

    Answer: No where in the Biblical text:

    James 2:24---New American Standard Bible (NASB)
    24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

    So why do the faith alone preach a gospel of salvation through a faith without works?

    are you on drugs?

    some type of medication?

    Im not judgmental here, but it would explain where you keep getting "Faith alone" out of my posts...
