“Call a required work “repentance” all you like, but that doesn’t change the fact that if it’s required in addition to faith in Christ the doctrine of “Faith Alone” is an error that leads people astray.”
Naturally I believe that “sola fide” is an error, but I have yet to meet an evangelical who has tried to excuse sin on the basis that faith alone is required for salvation.
Maybe your experience is different?
Yes it is and quite recently on this very same topic.
It seems like a great many people believe they're under no obligation to Christ in any way as long as they've made a public confession of their faith in Christ. Somewhere along the line repentance that includes a change of behavior has become just another one of the "false doctrines" those "works salvation" people preach.
That's why I say I think they've painted themselves into a corner whether they realize it yet or not.
