Christ's finished work on the Cross IS all that is requred for the justification of the believer? (By justification I mean as Unger defines it: a divine act whereby an infinitely Holy God judicially declares a believing sinner to be righteous and acceptable before Him because Christ has borne the sinner's sin on the cross and has become "to us . . . righteousness")

All of this is true -- in the case of a believing sinner who keeps God's commandments: (1) To love God with one's whole heart and soul and mind; and (2) one's neighbor as one's self -- for the love of God.

It is not enough merely to believe in the Holy Scriptures, is my point. One must be re-formed in Christ.

OK...thanks for your answer. We agree on most of the issue.

And thanks, also, to that mysterious poster who unfairly reported my actions to JR as a personal attack. I try hard to keep personal attacks out of my posts and have the courage to debate without pushing abuse because I simply disagree with another poster.
