JOHN MACARTHUR AND ASSURANCE

When the church committee knows what the moral law is, and yet claim they are not sinless rather than shed blood in order to live sinlessly, aren't they living in blatant sin?

 

Faith which is supplied by God to His elect will be seen in the elect. Thus they would say "it's God's will to protect me" rather than "if it's God's will He will protect me".

 

If the church committee knows what the moral law is, they should first live in perfect compliance to it according to Mathew 5:48, before preaching it to others.

 

Bible never talks about works based salvation.

 

Phil2:12 exhorts to work or use salvation to do good deeds and not to do good deeds to earn salvation.

 

Acts 15:9: "He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith".

Sanctification is also through faith in His grace.

 

So your good works result in your sanctification?
Are you sinless?

 

If faith in Christ's atonement certainly leads to salvation, why do you trust in good deeds to lead you to sanctification when none is going to be sinless?

 

You haven't yet agreed in letting go sins to become sinless.
Instead you justify your lack of sinlessness and preach about sinlessness!
When you accuse other christians of sins by rejecting grace for sanctification, remember you are heaping hellfire upon yourself.
