SS, we are saved by faith alone apart from works.<br />2.) SS, we are justified by faith alone apart from works<br />3.) SS, we are saved through grace alone<br />4.) SS, the Book of James is referring to justification before man and not God.<br /><br />Is this an accurate assessment of what you believe the Bible teaches?Carlus Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118327352251205251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542369259513248152.post-19940271029408454752009-06-29T09:49:55.445-04:002009-06-29T09:49:55.445-04:00Perhaps I should clarify a bit...I am not sure how...Perhaps I should clarify a bit...I am not sure how we are in agreement, Carlus. <br /><br />A doctrine that holds that human works, in any form, contribute to our salvation (which is totally by grace through faith,and not of works), or our justification before God (which is by Christ's finished work on the Cross) is scripturally a false doctrine, and a sign of apostasy, are departure from the true Gospel of the Bible.<br /><br />That we can be, and are to an extent, justified before men by our works, is a biblical principal found in James, Chapter 2. <br /><br />I must have been confusing in my earlier comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542369259513248152.post-31376149972908235252009-06-28T13:44:19.392-04:002009-06-28T13:44:19.392-04:00born4battle,
