HP: :laugh: You must be on the wrong forum as I understand it. I suppose we should just ignore your posts? For an individual that does not participate in debates you sure have a strange way of doing it. :smilewinkgrin:

The ONLY conditions for salvation is Faith or which repentence is a by product. You can't exactly repent if you don't believe you need to.

Any thing a person will add to faith FOR salvation is works because you have to in some way prove yourself worthy. When in fact you weren't, aren't, and never will be. Christ is the only worthy sacrifice for your sins and He imparts that to those who believe. This is why it is not our righteousness but His righteousness in us.
And is why scripture states "it is because of grace you ARE savED THROUGH faith, and NOT of yourselves but is a GIFT. NOT of works

Works are anything you do that can be added or taken away from salvation. Either Christ Jesus was suffient in His atoning work and PAID the FULL penalty of OUR sins or He was insuffient in what He did and we have to do... to help make up the gap of our salvation with our own righteousness. After all it will work, right??

Good post, generally!

A person is not Saved by works.

A person is not Kept Saved by works.

A Christian "Works" because they are Saved.

Ed the Onager put that in YOUR pipe and smoke it.

Sorry, I don't smoke a pipe, or the 'good stuff' either, for that matter.
