"Works Salvation"

[JLB]

Romans 6 says I was baptized (literally placed into) christ. And his death.

No scripture?

 

[JLB]

Once good works are introduced into the salvation process, salvation is no longer by faith alone;

Are you familiar with the biblical term -

The obedience of faith.

But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: Romans 16:26

The obedience of faith is a biblical term.

Faith alone is a man made term.

No scripture?

Roman’s 6 is not scripture?

 

[Cyrus]

James 2:24 states that "It's by faith alone" And this is the correct interpretation.

James is not arguing that faith doesn't matter. And he is not denying that through faith alone we are saved by God's grace. He is simply noting that the "faith which saves" is something more than an opinion. Instead, James is arguing for exactly what Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:10: That the God who saved us by His grace through faith—and not in any sense through works—planned all along for His believing children to do good works, "that we should walk in them." Once we are saved. That's what true believers do.

Paul presents the truth of justification by faith alone as the crucial and initial element in the sinner’s redemptive relationship with God through Jesus Christ in Titus 3:4–8.

He also warns his converts of the danger of accepting another gospel, a gospel of justification that includes works as well as grace, which is not the gospel.

The essence of Paul’s teaching on the subject is presented in Romans 3:21–26.
