    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    further, if you want to be arrogant and condescending in your responses directed at me, I will ignore what you say. Act like a Christian if you are one!

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    I am not a blinded Calvinist or Reformed. You have ignored the very first thing that the Lord Jesus says in Mark's Gospel, which is REPENT and BELIEVE, (1:15) BOTH that the sinner must DO. Until you can see and understand this, your reasoning is faulty!

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    what does justification mean to you from the Bible?

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    you make the salvation of sinner a pure mechanical thing, whereby the sinner is passive in what they do to obtain eternal life. Note Jesus' words in Luke 24:47, where He clearly says "that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from...

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    The sinner when they repent, thereby "accepts" the gift of salvation, which is from the Lord, because they have conformed to God's requirement for being saved, and thereby made just with God. Are you saying that a sinners does nothing? No repenting is required before they are saved?
  6. Saved-By-Grace

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    Justification is a divine act whereby an infinitely Holy God judicially declares a believing sinner to be righteous and acceptable before Him because Christ has borne the sinner’s sin on the cross and has become “to us … righteousness”. However, no sinner can ever be "justified", that is, "made...

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    I won't respond to this as it is not what the OP is about, and this can hijack the thread. You could start one on "perishing"?

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    No I am not. A sinner is only justified after they repent, which is responding to the Gospel offer of grace, as you put it. show me from Scripture where a sinner is justified (made right with God), before they repent of their sins?

    Ezekiel 18:21, "“But if a wicked person turns away (REPENTS) from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die" 33:14, "Again, though I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ yet if he turns (REPENTS)...

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    the repentance of the sinner, is in response to the convicting of the Holy Spirit in their hearts. Jesus says in Mark 1:15, "REPENT and BELIEVE", which is the norm for a sinner to be saved.

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    you wrote "One does not have to repent to be saved. One repents because they are being saved, are saved, and will be saved." Just how can a person be saved (born-again) without repenting, as it is no where taught in the Bible. You make the process as mechanical, and the Bible says it is a...

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    So, what is Jesus referring to about "perishing" in Luke 13:1-5?
  13. Saved-By-Grace

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    are you denying that a lost sinner must first repent of their sins? It is the grace of God that leads the sinner to repent in the first place. But, the sinner must DO the repenting. This cannot be done by the Lord. You are mistaken to say that repenting is a "work" so as to "earn" a sinner...

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    no, eternal punishment in hell, as the Bible says
  15. Saved-By-Grace

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    Salvation is not "earned" by any "good works". However, the sinner must DO something to be saved, and the Bible calls this "REPENT", and genuine sorry for a life without and against God, and a life of sinfulness. In Acts 2:37, the people who heard Peters preaching and were "cut to the heart"...

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    do you mean faith first? Surely a person cannot be saved without true repentance, first?
  17. Saved-By-Grace

    Justification By Faith Alone is Not Biblical

    The teaching that a sinner is justified before God solely on the basis of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is not the complete Gospel on salvation, as the other important factor has been omitted, - REPENTANCE The first words of the Lord Jesus Christ in Mark's Gospel, are, "REPENT and...

    Is It Me or Has the News and Political Parties Run Away from Moderates and/or Social Conservatives?

    the times of John Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards, the nation was more God-centered than it is today. What of the so-called "Bible-belt" states, were they not much more Bible Christian than they are now? My point is that there has been a huge decline in Biblical Christianity in the US as there...

    Is It Me or Has the News and Political Parties Run Away from Moderates and/or Social Conservatives?

    "Lastly, what is the Great Divide in America right now? By that I mean why are we so divided?" the very simple reason is, that the USA was once more of a God fearing nation, like here in England, and now has turned its back on the same Lord God of the Bible, and opened the door to the devil and...
