No, that is not what I meant to imply; we are saved by grace through faith. Not by works. Any works we do are just evidence of our faith.
I see by your screenname that you once may have been a “Beckite”. He is Mormon, last I knew. They are quite works-oriented, in addition to issues I won’t go into here.
I was referring to the end of the age- rapture territory- that the thread was about. Professing our faith may have adverse fleshly consequences. I don’t consider that a “work”.
Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Peace, FRiend; thank you for your request for clarification.
I’m not Mormon, never have been, not considering it and the Beckite part of the Freeper name has nothing to do with the Mormon you mention, The Beckite part comes from a village name in England next to an Air Force Base I was stationed at, click on name. My Freeper name is pretty stupid, some day I plan on changing it, but I’ve said that for probably over a decade now, when I get a little round toit I might get it done.
