>>We just believe that we receive grace for both faith and works<<

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

If you think you earn grace it's no longer grace but a debt.

“If you think you earn grace it’s no longer grace but a debt.”

I said nothing and IMPLIED nothing about EARNING grace. Also, I said they were CHRIST’S WORKS IN US.

It would help if you actually read.

What I wrote was ABUNDANTLY clear:

“We believe we are saved ONLY by the grace of Christ. We just believe that we receive grace for both faith and works and even those works are actually HIS works started in us.”

James 2:24: “You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.”

You stand opposed to God’s Word - and that’s nothing new from you.

Have a good night. Remember, now, actually READ the posts before you post. Try that from now on.
