Wrong. The thief did not atone himself because he is a sinner. It is Jesus who become a substitutionary atonement for the thief and for all of us sinners to the Father. Ang gibuhat nga repentance sa thief is not "Work" but Faith. Because work is of the flesh. Repentance is not work of the flesh, it is cessation from the flesh, because it involves humility nga moangkon ta nga makasasala ta.
Salvation is by faith alone and not of works.
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
How will you know if maayo to ilang gibuhat kung wala sila makaila sa Diyos? Our basis of "good" or "maayo" should only be from God because it is God who justifies us through HIS son Jesus by Faith alone.
Romans 3:10

haha. try harder,you think i can easily be persuaded by mere words? I know my logic and my apologetic, on the other hand you don't so why don't you sit tight and relax,okay? you can cheer if you like.
i said USED TO. not buwangan but sa bukid bro kay mga lost sheeps man sila.I can't imagine what the kind of lessons you're teaching during sundays..nawala ang imong manner or sense of humility! mura'g sa buwangan man tingali ka nagtudlo!
TS, i would like to ask what you know about Evangelicals/Reforms/Baptists/Born Again, are you one of the Evangelicals or reforms or baptists or born again?![]()
I rather believe in the bible. Isn't it the basis of Christian faith? then why am i hearing words derived from confused non-catholic theologians or should I say Obscurantists?
this is not the position of the bible.It is, FAITH plus GRACE RECEIVED (many are called but few are chosen).
intrinsic as a Christian? are you saying that non-Christians are bereft of good works? where did you get this idea? from the bible? i hope not. By the way im not asking you about what faith can produce,the topic is Soteriology.Good works are just the manifestation of you being Christ like. It is intrinsic of you as Christian. It is a result of your faith. Not a mere addend, multiplier or dividend, for that matter. God be with you!
your statement is unbiblical.
James 2:24: "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
