Good works, we teach, advance out sanctification and are necessary for salvation as they form faith. They do not earn salvation in any transactional sense, but rather they form our faith

Now see, most Protestants would be embarrassed to write that. "Good works...form our faith?"

Faith is in the "good work" accomplished by Christ on the cross. Period. Not in our own good works which are as filthy rags to God. Christ, our redeemer, does not share that title with those He redeems. Our sins are nailed to His cross and He carries every one of them.

He has froth around his mouth.

LOL. No, I think he's "got milk!"

"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby" -- 1 Peter 2:2

Amen! Praise God!

A desire to form your faith is embarassing?
