"God hath prepared that we should walk in them" means that we should walk in them or else we are not going to be saved.

Do you read scripture at all??? If you did, you'd have to be embarrassed to post such tripe...

Is the word of God meaningless to you??? You guys claim you believe every word that was written in the scripture...Appears as tho you are telling a lie...

Joh 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

Eternal life...Salvation...RIGHT NOW...Does that verse need a translation for you???

Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Shall not come into condemnation...Does that mean anything to you??? It says we have everlasting life, RIGHT NOW...

Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

My beloved...Who are my beloved??? They are the people that HAVE eternal life, RIGHT NOW...

The verse says 'your own salvation'...These people already HAVE salvation...

Paul says they obeyed the Gospel while he was with them but now that he's not there to guide, continue on with what he taught...

Heb 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Mar 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Those people received salvation by faith...Do not get that faith doctrine mixed up with the doctrines of men which is faith plus works...

Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Note that while God is "working in us" we have to "work out" our salvation, which therefore is in the future.

Again, if we have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, we are not condemned but have everlasting life...Now if you can't reconcile that with vs. 2:13, YOU have a problem...The problem is not with the scripture...

One cannot "fear and tremble" over things already accomplished.

If you believe what Paul was teaching, you're on the fast track to heaven...If you accept Jesus but want to add to His words and help Him out and claim there is something you could possibly do to gain salvation, you most certainly better fear and tremble and work out your own salvation...

Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

you'd have to be embarrassed to post such tripe

Indeed pointing you that when the scripture says that we must do something them we must do somethign is silly, but someone managed to contradict just that, and so I had to write such a laughable tautology. I am amazed myself.

Salvation...RIGHT NOW

That verse simply says that a believer has everlasting life at every moment (as does a nonbeliever). It does not say what works does the believer do in order to preserve it.

What you have right now is the fact that Jesus redeemed your sin. If you adhere to the right doctrine and stay away form sin, leave the Protestant heresy behind, and generally do what the gospel tells you, then you will preserve that gift and will be saved. So hurry up.

you believe what Paul was teaching, you're on the fast track to heaven

Yup. That's what I have been saying...
