Christs death and resurrection destroyed death and opened the gates of heaven. Are you implying all who merely assent to this are saved? Are the angles who were cast out saved?
If you are saying that in James, we must show our works in order to be saved, then you are saying the the Bible is contradicting itself.
Paul says in Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
If what you say is true, then what Paul says isn't. Which is it?
Are you implying...
I don't imply anything! It's what you infer that is the problem.
See y'all in the morning.
In Christ...Alone!
Christ said, "Be not afraid; only believe." (Mark 5:36)
If it comes doesn to believing the doctrines of men and a phony magisterium, or the words of Jesus Christ, I'll choose Christ, by the grace and power of God alone.
And Bible-believing Christians are secure in this choice because they know that it's the Holy Spirit who gives them the gift of a saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Are the angles who were cast out saved?
Do you know of any "cast out angels" who believe Christ is their Lord and Saviour? I don't.
