Are we saved by faith alone, or do we need works, too?

[yanong_banikanhon]

Alang sa mga nagtuo sa 'faith ALONE', unsa man inyong masulti sa usa ka pastor nga si Jerry DeWitt nga after 25 years sa iyang pagka-'niluwas' nahimong atheist?

DeWitt grew up in the church, but it was only at 17, after being “saved” during a weekend visit to Jimmy Swaggart’s church in Baton Rouge, that he became a passionate Christian. Weeks later he spoke in tongues for the first time...

He and his wife began touring the South, building a reputation for the power of his sermons.

For the first time, he was treated with respect, even awe. “I had this whole prophet persona going on. I wouldn’t really mix with people before the sermon,” he told me. “All kinds of people were seeing miracles, and I believed it 100 percent.”

Finally he began to feel that his rationalist impulses were alienating and hurting his flock, and he resigned — reluctantly, he said, because he loved the human side of being a pastor, “playing Mr. Fix-It for the community.” He continued preaching part time for a while, invoking an ever more misty and ethereal God....

He preached his last sermon in April 2011, in the town of Cut and Shoot, Tex. A month later, Natosha Davis called, and DeWitt found himself unable to pray at all.

Ayaw ko ingna nga dili to 'true' faith ang iyang pagtoo kay murag mas labaw pa ra ba ning iyang pagtoo kay sa mga ordinaryong born-again kay kadto kunong mga nakasaksi sa iyang mga sermons nakakita gud kuno og mga miracles.

Naunsa mang pagkahitaboa nga nibaligtad man kining si DeWitt, nga naluwas naman kaha ni tungod sa iyang tinuoray nga pagtoo sukad adtong 17 years old pa siya? Nganong nakabuhat man siya pagsalikway sa Ginoo nga once man kaha duna kay tinuoray nga faith, automatic man kaha nga pulos na good work imong mahimo?

Dili ba klaro nga requirements gyud sa kaluwasan ang pagbuhat sa gisugo sa Dios?

Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

sir naa ra sa article mismo ang tubag ana. ingon siya "he loved the human side of being a pastor." so there you go.

^^ The point is, after being 'saved' by his true faith (at the age of 17), dili ba dapat pulos na lang good works ang iyang mahimo? Kay epekto man kaha sa true faith ang good works. Dili kaha kini nagpamatuod nga walay pulos kun ikaw nagatuo lamang apan wala magabuhat?

James 2:14, 24
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?

You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.

Unsa man pud imong interpretation sa gisulti ni Jesus sa Matthew?

Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who DOES the will of my Father who is in heaven.
