saved by grace through faith
Acts 15:11, Ephesians 2:5, Ephesians 2:8, 2 Timothy 1:9
Nice try but none of those verses says by faithAlone
Act 15:11 But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will." Grace yes but not even a mantion of faith Catholic teaching agress with this.
Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved-- again not a mentin of faith but only grace. Still Catholic teaching.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, Missing the Word AloneStill agreeing with Catholic teaching.
2Ti 1:9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
Still missing he word Alone
James 2:24 is the only verse in the bible that addreses faith alone and that is to negate that false teaching
Jas 2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
Here are a couple of verse for you to chew over:
1Pe 3:21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Seems like you need baptism
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.Now we add works to baptism
Jas 2:20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? this says that faith is useless with out works, wow that really puts yours out of it.
Jas 2:26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
This says faith is DEAD with out works. Is that the kind of faith you have a DEAD faith?
In Mat 19:17 And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments." we are told to keep the commandments
Matthew Gives use guide lines of how we are to show out faith through works of charity.
Galatians 5:19-21 tells us things we should not do and 5:22-23 tells us good things we should do.
I hope this clears up that misunderstanding of yours
