i don't believe in this. Remember the verse that says "did we not prophesy in your name...did we not heal in your name...etc etc....then he said depart from me i never knew you.
faith producing good works cannot be the basis for attaining Salvation. I rather go to James. where there it says that man is justified by works and not on faith alone.
Salvation cannot be of faith and works. Otherwise we would boast. We would boast nga naluwas ta pinaagi sa Gihimo ni Kristo didto sa Krus ug sa atong kaugalingong pagkamatarong. This is not the kind of Salvation that the bible teaches us.
As you have said we are saved by grace and this grace of salvation can only be obtained if we have faith in Jesus. If we are saved because of Grace, then it should only be through faith and not of works. Grace is not grace kung mo work pa ta para maluwas.
Rom. 11:6, "But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace."
If we claim that our good works can add to our salvation, it's like taking the credit of what JESUS did on the cross for us.
Not including works as the basis of our salvation simply means Salvation is by faith alone bisan dili pa na mabasa word by word diha. The principle or the doctrine is in the Bible.
What? ngiga gud? You mean dili na ka makasala? Kay naa na ka True Faith?
Going back to Eph. I agree with what the verses say.ako i suwat ang binisaya:
2:8 Kay tungod sa grasya kamo nangaluwas pinaagi sa pagtoo; ug kini dili sa inyong kaugalingong kahimoan, kini hatag sa Dios--
2:9 dili tungod sa mga binuhatan aron walay bisan kinsa nga magapasigarbo.
-"Ug kini dili sa inyong kaugalingong kahimoan, kini hatag sa Dios" - klaru kaayu nga DILI sa atung KAHIMUAN kay HATAG sa DIOS meaning Gift.
-nya unsaon man nimu pag justify nga ni ingun man sa Bibliya nga ang TANAN nakasala ug nawad-an ug Himaya sa DIOS. If ang imung requirements GOOD works pa hagbong na daan kay tanan nakasala man - unless naa kay ikapakita nga naay Pass/Fail criteria ang good works.
- Mao bitaw ang tawo maluwas ra if hatagan sa GASA sa kaluwasan, nya hatagan ka sa GASA if naay kay Tinuod nga PAgtuo.
2:9 dili tungod sa mga binuhatan aron walay bisan kinsa nga magapasigarbo. - Mao bitaw ni ako gi mean nga nganu wala gihimu ang Good works as Requirements kay tungod ani nga sitwasyun - nga Pwedi mubuhat an tawo ug Tarung kay nag huna huna siya maluwas bisag wala siya Tinuod nga FAITH. If naay sitwasyun nga Sama ani then ang teaching ni Kristo dili Perfect kay Dunay chance nga mahitabo ni. And i believe the God teachings are perfect so if the doctrine has some flaws or situation nga magka flaw then its not the correct doctrine for me.
We are saved Grace, through faith, and NOT of our own.
Grace is a gift from God. But as a person with freewill, you can accept or reject such gift.
Through faith, we can have received these graces. But again, what kind of faith? Kanang sige lang Alleluiah, Praise the Lord, Clap your hands?
That is why James clearly defined it as a "living faith".
You don't seem to understand my question. My question is. Why say FAITH ALONE when the Bible Says OTHERWISE?
