Probably because it was my question to you, and I was waiting politely for your answer, which you still haven't provided, except to throw the query back at me.
What makes two Christians different?
Okay, I'll give you my answer just to move the discussion along in hopes of getting an answer from you.
All faith, every degree and morsel and word of it, it given by God alone for His glory and our solace. Thank you, God. And that Trinitarian faith in Jesus Christ is the marker God employs to dispense His saving grace in order to separate the sheep from the wolves. "By grace are ye saved through faith."
Thus faith is the work of the Godly.
"We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake." -- 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5
The differences among believing Trinitarian Christians are explained by an understanding of the life-long process of sanctification. We do not sanctify ourselves. Our every step is given to us by God.
According to Paul, faith is a work of the righteous. We don't get to heaven by our works, i.e. acts of confessions, contrition, obedience, prayer, belief, baptism, desires, motives or good intentions.
We get to heaven for one reason only -- because man is dead in sin, God became man to die in our place and be resurrected by His hand for His glory alone, all ordained by God from before the foundation of the world. We are the grateful recipients of His generous gift, not the cause of this most ultimate miracle.
We don't get to heaven by our works...
One of these things is not like the other...Is faith a "work" or is it a "gift?"
