[Petronski]

But faith is still what’s required to be saved.

Faith AND works.

Do you think you will be saved with a dead faith?

Works alone will not do it...

Nor will faith alone.

What saves a man?

Faith plus works.

Works or faith?

The question is flawed: a false dichotomy.

[PugetSoundSoldier]

Faith AND works.

False. Please read the words of Jesus in Mark 16 and Luke 7. NO WHERE does our Lord require works to be saved; only faith.

Please point to where Jesus says that you can be saved by works, or that you need works to be saved. He doesn't, because that's not true.

Do you think you will be saved with a dead faith?

No. If you have faith, it is alive. Jesus does not put any qualifiers on the strength of faith, or "you must have X number of works or manifestations of faith". He simply states "your faith saves you". Period.

If you wish to take later, apostolic theology over the word of Christ that is your right; for me, I will accept the words of Jesus at face value (by faith).

Question for you: do you think you can work your way into Heaven, by doing good works?
