Just some final scripture passages which we agree are the Infallible Word of God:
16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[a] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”[b]
Our RIGHTEOUSNESS *which fits us for heaven....if from Jesus Christ - and is ours BY FAITH! JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN, THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH.
More tomorrow..good night
Of course. What it means is that one has to live out the commandments in obedience of the Gospel, just like Christ told the rich young man. What it does not mean is that a proclamation of faith makes one saved forever regardless of his works.
