1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
NO ARGUMENT THERE.
As the Bible says, I am already saved:
Rom. 8:24, For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?
Eph. 2:5–8) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ by whose grace we are saved in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus.
BUT WE ARE ALSO BEING SAVED
And faith without works is dead:
Matthew 7:16-27 “Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name and cast out demons and do many mighty works in your name? And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you depart from me you evildoers. Everyone then who hears theswe words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon a rock and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon the house but it did not fall because it had been founded upon the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them all will be like the foolish man who built his house upon the sand...and it fell and great was the fall of it.”
Peter 1 1:17 And if you invoke as Father him who judges each one impartially according to his deeds, conduct
yourself with fear throughout the time of your exile.
Corinthians 2 5:10 For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ so that each one may recieve good or evil according to what he has done in the body.
Matthew 25 31:46 and I can’t type anymore! Just read.
It is summed in this: Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, you have done unto Me. Ignore works at your own peril.
Faither without works is dead.
*And yes, there are scriptures for the seven sacraments but I have to run. Besides getting hand cramps.
I’ve never observed mangling of Scripture to be the least bit of a route to truth nor to authentic spirituality.
BUT WE ARE ALSO BEING SAVED
That's easily the most ridiculous thing I've read to date. You" are saved". And you" are being saved".??? Can't you see the irony/hypocrisy/blindness/...well it's just all-emcompassing, this answer you gave. And it's too bad you can't find your way out of the maze with scripture. You know, sola and all. Good luck with all this preposterous I am, I also am being.
