UPDATE: ANOTHER QUESTION. If you havene't participated yet, please answer both questions, if you will. If you already have, please add your answer to the comments for question #2. You all are great! "Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is never alone" QUESTION #1: Can it be stipulated to that what the quote implies is that there will be works along with the faith? In other words, this quote does not say what specifically it is that accompanies faith, but I think that the quote implies that there will be works, evidence of a changed life, love of the brethren and all the things that we know the Bible teaches that a Christian will have as he walks in the Spirit. Can we all, those who enjoy the quote, and those who question it, agree that this is what the quote is saying? Do we all see that these things I have listed are the implied accompaniments? QUESTION #2: Is "being saved" (as in justification) a thing that happens in a moment of time... or is it a process? Do we all agree that when the Bible says we have "passed from death to life" that this was something that has already happened at a "point in time"? I need to know these things. Thank you for your participation. |
