>>You must have missed smvoice's comments on two different ways of salvation.<<

Where did smvoice ever say there were two different ways of salvation? I have never seen her say that nor do I think she believes that.

I really wish that posts, along with the Bible, were read as they say, NOT as the reader WANTS them to say. The gospel of the kingdom: what is given to do in order that a person is declared righteous before God?

The gospel of the grace of God: what is given to do in order that a person is declared righteous before God?

Did Abraham have to believe that Christ died for his sins, was buried and rose again the third day to be declared righteous before God? What about Moses? Or David? Or John the Baptist? Or Matt. Mark Luke John, the little flock of believers, or the hearers of Peter's Pentecost sermon? Were they told what was given by God to do in order to be declared righteous before Him? Where were they told this?

And finally, what about us, now, in this age of the grace of God. Are we told what to do in order to be declared righteous before God? Where are we told this?

Faith is ALWAYS counted for righteousness. Always has been, always will be. But faith in WHAT? Did God demand the same faith from David that He demanded from Abraham? IF he did, then David had a son that God required to be sacrificed. And on and on. Faith will do what God tells you He is requiring of you. And it's always counted for our righteousness, both BEFORE the Cross, although they did not know that their displays of faith all pointed to Christ, and AFTER the Cross. The believers of Israel ALL did was God demanded of them. In order to enter the Kingdom, not the body of Christ. I'm sorry you just cannot see, red.
