Salvation MUST be by faith alone, in Christ’s finished Work on the cross. After one has been born again and has the indwelling Holy Spirit, one way of demonstrating one’s faith is by doing good and kind deeds. But never forget Luke 17:10. We could never do enough good things to “pay for” Salvation. Salvation is ONLY through the blood of Christ.
Think most people here agree. Some semantic differences is all. PS Agreed.
Except Scripture teaches differently.
There is only one place in Scripture where the words 'faith alone' appear together - "for it is by works that we are justified, and not by faith alone. James 2:24
And why does Paul tell us “ Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling” Phil 2:12
So if faith alone provides your salvation, what do you need to work out? Why is there fear and trembling?
