I am saved by grace, not of myself (nor can I muster up or call down .. grace) .. not of works (or a work or any work (including baptism)
why?
So no man can boast
God provides freely so that with childlike faith, we can come to Him and be saved
Festus cautioned Paul,
"As he spoke these things, and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad. - Douay Rheims Bible"
I like and prefer the simpler way God has provided.
I was baptized that righteosness be fullfilled ... not to be saved.
I appreciate your hard work posting so much, but it is not needed
So you can go out and kill your neighbor or have an abortion or embezzle money at your job or cheat on your spouse freely and you are still saved?
What nonsense to osas.
