What concerns us here is the detachment of faith from works that the phrase “faith alone” implies.

Well what concerns us is the melding of the concept of justification, is tapped into by faith in Jesus, and sanctification, which is works. Two distinctive, both important, but they should never be confused.

Going beyond milk, Paul explained that at the Bema Seat a person IN HEAVEN will have their 'works' tried as by fire. Some will have nothing, as fire consuming wood, hay, and stubble. Others will have precious works refined in the same source of 'fire'. Works did not get the one to Heaven whose works are completely consumed by the fire, and they are not thrown out of Heaven because of no retained works. For according to the Gospel of Grace, they are in Heaven because of their belief in the One Whom God has sent for our Salvation.

We are in 'the age of Grace, the gap found between Daniel's 69th week and the seventieth week of Israel. When the Age of Grace ends at the Rapture, a different emans will activate by which the ones not taken in the Rapture can get the 'train ride' to Heaven for the MArriage Feast of the Lamb. A number so great that John could not expressed it will be transported during the Tribulation ... and John could write 200,000,000, so it had to be a pretty significant number greater than that!
