As Paul says, "anything not of faith is sin."

Our own works are as filthy rags to God. Therefore only our good works wrought by and for and through Jesus Christ are found acceptable to God.

The only people capable of "turning from all their wicked sins" are those who have been called by God to receive the free, unmerited gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Good works are the fruit of our salvation, not the cause of it. The RCC usurps the glory that belongs to the Triune Gold alone and sells it to fallen men who think they are earning God's grace. OTC...

"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." -- Ephesians 2:8-9

I’ll take YHWH over Paul, but thanks anyway.
