Living Life in the Power of the Holy Spirit

[Nang]

Salvation does NOT include works.

Faith without works is dead . . . James 2:14-26

Sinners are justified by faith alone; but the forgiven soul will produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit who sanctifies; without which there is no evidence of salvation.

You are committing the RCC error of convoluting the distinct doctrines of Justification with Sanctification.

Both Justification and Sanctification are distincly necessary, and one without the other, falls short of actual salvation.

[God's Truth]

Salvation does NOT include works.

The works that are no longer included are circumcision, adherence to a dietary law, the observance of special days, various external washings the people used to have to do just to go to the temple to worship God, and the sacrifice of animals.

At no time ANYWHERE is obeying God nailed to the cross.

Think about it more.

I have thought about it.

The only righteousness that is going to pass in the judgment is the righteousness of Christ.

You don't have it.

Tell me how you are going to enter Christ to get to the Father if you do not follow the directions of the Lord.

In the judgment I will be found to be perfect and complete "In Christ" Colossians 2:10. Now you need to figure out how.

That scripture says we are complete in him.
Answer the question...how are you going to get IN Christ to get to the Father if you do not follow Jesus' directions?

If the sabbath day isn't that important why is Satan going to force worship on Sunday.? Is Satan confused?

By covering your sins with the blood of Jesus you are presented to God as perfect.

How are you going to be covered by his blood if you are not in Him, and how are you going to get in him if you do not follow his directions?

This is a knee-jerk response . . .

You fail to address the importance of teaching the distinction between Justification by faith alone, and Sanctification that evidences the fruits (works) of the Holy Spirit.

No faith? No forgiveness (Justification).

No holy/spiritual works? No regeneration (Sanctification).

There is no such thing as being forgiven (justified) without exhibiting evidence of the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Sanctification).

Both are necessary witness to the Gospel and salvation by the grace of God.

Evidence of the Holy Spirit is exhibited in those who have heard and believe the Gospel.

You don't believe the Gospel. If you did you would not be a Calvinist.

Those who believe the Gospel are justified by faith, because they have been justified by Christ. No Calvinism needed.
