Matthew 7:21”Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23”And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

Are you saying that for your sins to be forgiven you must do the "right" good works?

They were rattling off works, or their filthy rags as the reason for their salvation.

Not once do they claim to have had faith.

Note what the works actually are ...

1. Prophecy
2. Cast out demons
3. Miracles

Personally ... I find it chilling that the fastest growing Christian churches are charismatic ... at least in my area.

Perhaps you can expound on the verses quoted. Especially the portion which I bolded above. What do the Scriptures tell us is 'the will of the Father?' That is the key to the verses you posted and frankly the entire subject of the article posted.
