My beliefs matter not.
What Scripture says is what matters. Scripture says it is NOT OF WORKS lest any man should boast. Over and over and over there are verse that speak only of faith in Christ - exclusive of works. Yes, there is James. But James is to be taken in the context of all Scripture. Amazing how those who complain of "prooftexting" will pull out verses from James to try to prove that their works in any way merit them heaven. Heresy!

You are talking to us as if we look at things the way you do. You do not realize, perhaps, that we look at things in a very different way than you do. So there is no point addressing things like 'faith and works' without first addressing the fundamental differences in the way we see everything.

What Scripture says is what matters.Yes, that is true, but not exclusively, particularly when all the "Reformist" faith communities that hold that disagree with each other on a lot of things
