[PapaNew]

Again you’re mixing what it takes to be eternally saved with what it takes to live a victorious Christian life. The easiest part of being a Christian is getting saved because Jesus has done it all. When you preach something other than the gospel of the grace of Christ for eternal salvation, you ignore the heart of the gospel of grace as spelled out in Romans 3:30-8:33, mislead others, and are in danger yourself as Galatians 1:6-9 warns.

Bye bye.

You're good with Scripture, PapaNew. Really good. You're just not good with enough of it.

How Scripture proclaims we are saved:

• By believing in Jesus Christ (Jn 3:16; Acts 16:31)
• By repentance (Acts 2:38; 2 Pet 3:9)
• By baptism (Jn 3:5; 1 Pet 3:21; Titus 3:5)
• By eating His flesh and drinking His blood (Jn 6)
• By the work of the Spirit (Jn 3:5; 2 Cor 3:6)
• By declaring with our mouths (Lk 12:8; Rom 10:9)
• By coming to a knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2:4; Heb 10:26)
• By works (Rom 2:6-7; James 2:24)
• By grace (Acts 15:11; Eph 2:8)
• By His blood (Rom 5:9; Heb 9:22)
• By His righteousness (Rom 5:17; 2 Pet 1:1)
• By keeping the commandments (Matt 19:17)
• By childbering (1 Tim 2:15)
• By our words (Matt 12:37)
• By compassion toward the needy (John 10:25-37; Matthew 25:31-46)
• By enduring to the end (Matt.24:13)

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness." 2 Timothy 3:16

Faith? Yes. If you want to find one word which comprises all of these items, and call that word "faith," that's fine with me. A 'real' faith. A 'faithful' faith. A 'living' faith.

Which is to say, being incorporated into Christ. That's what Paul says in Galatians 3:23-29 -- "Heirs according to the promise."
