So much for the “assurance of salvation” for those who continue in sin. By grace alone, yes; but not without works.
Those who have saving faith go on to live fruitful lives.
But they are saved.
And what is "saving faith" compared to "faith alone?" Is faith that does not produce works saving faith? For, as you know, there are many who claim faith in Jesus Christ who continue to live in the sins that Paul warns that will exclude us from the kingdom of God. Are they saved?
