re: “But that philosopy has to be bases on the Bible. . .”

I completely agree, but what I stated isn’t philosophy - salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone is sound Christian doctrine. Human acts of righteousness cannot remove the guilt of our sin - however, salvation is not a license to sin. The Scriptures make it very clear that although we are not saved by our “works”, so-called “faith” without works is dead - useless.

So without works our faith is useless unto salvation. That sounds like we are saved, in some part, by our works, no?

It's sound "Christian" doctrine espoused by men. That's philosophy. It's not Biblical at all, though it has become traditional.

Once one is saved and as their faith increases the natural outcome is “fruit”....Christ changes the heart, mind and soul. One desires to do what is good and right...as He leads and as we let Him live His life thru us.
