"Works Salvation"

Which nation received it then? It is still Israel! Plus any Gentile that is grafted into it. Read Romans 11
The Nation that received it is the Church, the Body of Christ, Abrahams Spiritual Seed. Just as Abrahams physical seed was a Nation, so is Abrahams Spiritual Seed via Christ is a Nation Gal 3:29

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Peter calls the Church, Body of Christ a Nation here 1 Pet 2:9

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
 
Paul is clear when he tells Titus in 3:5: "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy ... "

Yet Paul had previously told Titus in 2:14 that "Christ Jesus ...gave Himself for us ... to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds."

So we're not saved by good deeds, but we are saved to be "zealous for good deeds".

One really has to work hard (no pun intended) to misunderstand this.

For it pleased GOD by the preaching to save those who Beleive .
Even all the good prayers and alms Cornelious did , STILL he had to hear the gospel and believe
TO be saved .
That is HOW GOD chose to save this world . HE sent the SON so that all who do Beleive Would not PERISH
but have everlasting life . To the LORD be all the glory with all praises and thanksgivings .
Almost there. Keep coming.

Okay, I can agree with that, but which earthly nation received the truth first?
 
OH indeed it is my friend . It is just that not all of israel IS OF ISRAEL .
The KINGDOM of GOD . The israel of GOD , the Jerusalem of GOD
wherein the temple is GOD and the lamb .
Wherein those who BELIEVE GOD , HIS TESTIMONY that HE gave of the SON
are of this KINGDOM that is ABOVE and by the SPIRIT is within the true sheep .
It consists ONLY of the believing jew and believing gentile .
Pretty simple indeed my friend . But many still cling to the earthen
which STILL IS in bondage . But JERSUALEM which is above IS FREE , MOTHER TO ALL those who beleive IN CHRIST JESUS .

“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬
 
God has NOT left national Israel. And just as the apostles were to go to the nation of Israel first with the gospel, Romans 11 shows us that when the last Gentile that will be saved has received and believed the gospel, then as 2 Thess. 2:8-12 says, the rest of the Gentiles will receive from God a strong delusion to believe and follow after the Antichrist. Then all national Israel will be saved. The antichrist has not yet been revealed, but when he does make himself known, we know that there will be only 7 years before our Savior comes again. Revelation 12 and 13.

Hello dear friend. Tell me what is the result of being baptized into his death. How do we know we have been?
the result is his death is applied to us and our sins are forgiven.

in other words. just as he died. we died with him.. we were united together (baptized) into his death

I think people know. His spirit testifies with our spirit that we are his.

I knew I was not the same immediately. But for years after. I still experience it. I have no doubt.

the Jewish people were the first to receive the Gospel = Gospel , Acts and Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

Ya might want to seriously reconsider parts of this my near and my dear friend .
What on earth makes us even think This world has seven years left .
The cocka doodle doo might not even be heard from the rooster .
So according to your doctrine we have at LEAST seven years , maybe me seeing you made that other cliam .
But what i say to one i say to all
WATCH and be ready for YE KNOW NOT the HOUR your LORD do come .
And while most folks have been real busy looking for some kind of hollywood style
anti christ
THEY SURE ARE NO SEEING what IS and has been GOING ON all around them .
The hour is late and the delusion is already great and shall get worse .
Anti christs have been at work my friend
and they pumping out the lie of anti christ and selling it as a means to attain PEACE N SAFETY .
YEAH , I would for sure say we are much further along in the times .
 
Hello dear friend. Tell me what is the result of being baptized into his death. How do we know we have been?
many will not like this next answer because it will prove that many have not been baptised into Christ .
Putting off the sins of the body . Thar we may now live UNTO righteouness .
ITS MEANS THEY GONNA HAVE TO stop following this other sin accepting jesus
that has cliamed they live , AND YET THEY ARE DEAD IN SIN . many have not been born again
and love they sin still .
 
let me know when you have studied enough that you can easily and readily know the two mentions of baptism is Romans 6.

one being baptized into Christ

and the other being baptized into his death.

Please share that scripture when you have time.


Then we can study the passage to see if the baptism with the Holy Spirit is indicated there.

Its always been the Church, that received the Truth. The Saints Deut 33:3

Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
The disciples were the Saints Jn 17 8-9


8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

I know what you mean. When I was first baptized with His Spirit I felt a dark heaviness leave my body. It was the sin from my nature. I am now clean, John 15:3.

As a side note, the prayer of John 17 1-19 is for the apostles. They are the only ones the Father has "given" the Son.
