If I remember correctly, Rome teaches that after baptism, works earn extra grace.
This is the exact opposite of the definition of grace as seen in Romans 11.
In Scripture (Ephesians 2, among others) we are judged by our works, but our works are proof of faith and grace. In the same way that we know that water is boiling because the molecules are excited from heat, so are good works done by believers because they have God’s grace through faith.
“In Scripture (Ephesians 2, among others) we are judged by our works, but our works are proof of faith and grace. In the same way that we know that water is boiling because the molecules are excited from heat, so are good works done by believers because they have Gods grace through faith.”
Yes exactly. And works can either be done out of faith and belief, or without faith and out of unbelief. Works done out of faith and belief are done by the Lord living inside of us. Works done outside of faith are done by the flesh.
Indeed. The effect is not to be confused with the cause.
