Real Faith vs False Faith

[Behold]

Reader,

Jude says the believer is to contend for the "real Faith".

Why?

Because there is so much false faith theology, that is not related to "justification BY faith". or John 14:6

Paul says that we are to make certain we are in "THE faith"....

Notice that both Paul and Jude limit Faith" to "THE"... and that is because there is """""One LORD... ONE FAITH, and ONE Baptism""""related strictly to being born again.

So, what is THAT "one" faith".

Paul says that if you teach any other GOSPEL then His, then "accursed" is your issue... Galatians 1:8

So, the one true faith is OUR = ""faith, is counted by GOD... as (Christ's) Righteousness.""""

See that Cause and Effect, of the one true Faith? ????????????????

The one True faith, is FAITH IN THE Gospel of the Grace of God,....= that is"" THE Preaching of The Cross.""

What does that ONE Faith, exclude?

Everything else., that you can possibly believe in, to try to be accepted by God.

Like..

1.) Water baptism
2.) Commandment keeping
3.) Law keeping
4.) Self effort
5.) Trying to be like Christ
6.) Joining a specific Church

And Reader, here is the one you have to careful not to fall into, if you have managed to not be trapped by a cult that has you trusting in those other 6 in the list.

A.) Be careful that you are not trusting in FAITH..
See it can be that a person is trusting in FAITH, and they are deceived and believe that this is to trust in Christ.

Let me show you how that works...

This person would think and believe....

"well, as long as i dont lose my FAITH, i stay saved".

"As long as i hold unto my FAITH, i will not go to hell"

See that?
That is FAITH in FAITH, vs, Faith in Christ, and that is a very subtle false belief system, whereby the person has completely shifted from Trust in Christ...... to Trust in Faith... to try to keep themselves saved.

Reader, "FAITH" didnt hang on THE Cross for you.
Faith didnt die on The Cross for you.
FAITH is not the Savior.
Do not trust in Faith......Trust only in CHRIST.
Be sure you see that perfectly, and many do not realize what has happened to their Faith.

So....Be wary of that broken faith, if you have managed not to fall victim of one of the other 6, on that list.

 

[Behold]

Everyone has real faith.

We are ALL born with Free will and real faith.

This is why when an Atheist says......>"i dont BELIEVE in God'... they are showing you that they have no FAITH in God's Existence.
Their REAL FAITH, is that God does not Exist.
They are not proving they have no faith.......They are proving that they have faith, but Not in God.............as we all have "the measure of faith".. that is a part of our soul realm, our : "mind, will , and emotions".

Reader, every religion, is based on the FAITH that people put in it.
Understand?
That is their REAL FAITH, shown.
So, that is not faith in CHRIST, but its still REAL FAITH....

Listen,
Tom Cruise, BELIEVES, in Scientology.....and his FAITH in Scientology is as REAL as yours is, in Christ., ... Reader.

So, what God is looking for, is for us to take OUR Faith, that is in ALL humans, and place it in CHRIST, and not it Buddha, or Mary Baker Eddy, or The Pope.. or in "the big bang theory".

See it?

You, me .. all of us, have REAL FAITH... and God wants us to take Our Real FAITH, and place it in JESUS, and once we do, then OUR "Faith (in Christ) is counted by GOD, as (Christ's) Righteousness". , and we are justified by OUR FAITH.... In Christ., according to God's promise.

'Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
For by it the elders obtained a good report.'
(Heb 11:1-2)

'Through faith we understand
that the worlds were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen
were not made of things which do appear.'
(Heb 11:3)

'By faith Abel offered unto God
a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,
by which he obtained witness that he was righteous,
God testifying of his gifts:
and by it he being dead yet speaketh.'
(Heb 11:4)

'By faith Enoch was translated
that he should not see death;
and was not found,
because God had translated him:
for before his translation he had this testimony,
that he pleased God.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him:
for He that cometh to God must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.'
(Heb 11:5-6)

'By faith Noah, being warned of God
of things not seen as yet,
moved with fear, prepared an ark
to the saving of his house;
by the which he condemned the world,
and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.'
(Heb 11:7)

'By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out
into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance,
obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise,
as in a strange country,
dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob,
the heirs with him of the same promise:
For he looked for a city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker is God.'
(Heb 11:8)

* They all believed God and it was counted unto them for righteousness.
* Mankind are asked to believe the gospel of God concerning His Son the Lord Jesus Christ, and it will also be counted unto them for righteousness.

Yes, The Grace of God that is Jesus as our Salvation, is "THE GIFT"...

Whereas Deceived Calvinists abuse the verse and twist it to read that "Faith is the Gift of God".

Ephesians 2:8 (AMPC) - For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God.

Hello @mailmandan,

I received a study through the post this week concerning, 'grace', and the expositor said that it is worth looking at the context of the word grace wherever it is used in Scripture taking into account the form of unmerited favour that each refers to, for it differs. Interesting.

Thank you for your fellowship

Hello there,

Surely faith itself is not what can be termed 'false', but what is the object of it. If the substance of what is believed is in itself, 'false', then that is a sad state of affairs. Thankfully we have the Scriptures which are the arbiter of all doctrine. We should ensure that all that we believe is Scripturally sound before we allow it to become part of the doctrinal basis for the faith we hold, and that it is securely grounded in the love and grace of God in Christ Jesus, His only Begotten Son.

In Christ Jesus
Chris

Yes, faith is only as good as the object that we place it in. Jesus is the only way. (John 3:18; 10:9; 14:6)

Romans 3:22 - But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 - being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

Galatians 2:16 - knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

Philippians 3:9 - and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.
