. No one is justified by any work. Only God's grace justifies. But once one is justified, the path to salvation includes work, and not just any work but work that cooperates with continued grace from God.

So one stands justified before God (found not guilty) and still must earn his salvation?? james says no such thing..

READ the scripture.. [James] addresses a hollow profession of faith , not a saving oneDo you understand what a hollow profession is ? I would say that identifies Romanists that believe Christ saved no one on that cross ..he just made it possible for them to work their way there

Jhn 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day...

Christ did not add any provision to that promise

Yes that's right James addresses what a hollow profession of faith is and that is, by definition, NOT a "saving one". And what is this "hollow profession of faith" (i.e., one that does NOT save)? How does James describe it?

One where there are no works present!! Wow, see how easy that is?

Do you understand what a hollow profession is ?

Yeah, I think I do (thanks for the condescending tone). However, if I may indulge in the same (no pun intended) I think *you* should read the Scripture again because clearly *you* don't "...understand what a hollow profession is".
