To: Salvation

hrough faith and works done in charity inspired by the Holy Spirit.


This position would be anti-Biblical since God says in multiple places that you cannot work for your salvation (but go ahead keep on trying, tire yourself out doing works), meanwhile I’ll rest in Christ’s forgiveness unearned, and knowing that there’s nothing I can do to earn it, or keep it (or lose it).

You might then say: “Well then what keeps you from doing bad things, and keep on sinning?” I’d answer that I DO sin, and Grace isn’t a license to sin, but it is taking the burden off me (where it should be) and relying ONLY on Christ, through a changed heart is one kept from living their old lives, nothing more-salvation is provided by Him, and given by Him for “to him who does not work Rom 4:5”.

Please go back and read the article again.

What you are claiming is not anti-biblical.

There are quotes from James, Corinthians, Ephesians in the article.

Maybe you missed this line.

**”We can work our way into Heaven”: No!**
