If you are not making it up, then post what I said that says James is wrong..."

You stated clearly that James is wrong when you said,

You'll find there in no call to repent either, but to BELIEVE (which in itself is repentance)... "

in your comment #214.

Unless you are now saying you've changed your mind and now agree with what the Catholic Church has taught for 2000 years, that works and belief are inseparable, you cannot claim that we only need to believe and at the same time agree with James saying Faith without works is dead.

Being inconsistent and contradicting oneself as well as Scripture is typical of the Self and Self Alone folks who insist that although they deny the perfection and power of the Holy Spirit they're never in error.

One point to consider about works is that they are not of us. They are of God, prepared beforehand by Him. If we are in perfect alignment with God's purpose in our lives, then we will be walking in the works He prepared. And by our walk (in lockstep with God's purpose revealed through our relationship with our Father) we will be known as James said that our faith is alive.

I get sick and tired of people discussing works as if they are something we did. They aren't. They are something that God prepared for us. If we are performing works outside of God's personal intimate instruction which He imparts to us, then they are done in vain. But if we are walking in the works that He prepared for us in advance, then we are simply being obedient in the things He has given us to do. All credit and glory goes to Him.

So you are making it up after all...Why am I not surprised...

There is NO Baptism command in Paul’s commission to preach to the Gentiles, even though he did.

You'll find there in no call to repent either, but to BELIEVE (which in itself is repentance)...

Jas 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

You want to show us where in James it says to repent??? Can't do it??? Don't you hate it when people catch you making stuff up???

As anyone can actually see what I posted, they can also see that you are making this up as you go along...

I've shown it (proved it) but if you want to continue telling untruths about other FReeper Christians I can do nothing about that...

Didn't you write something about the fruits of the spirit??? Your credibility to me as a Christian has dropped to zero...
