[Linux4christians] Bride of Christ

[Pastor David]

Oh my no, never!

There is salvation only by faith.

The teaching re. works is to say that true salvation is 
*always* accompanied - or better stated "followed" - by
"works" which are the fruits of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

"works" are an evidence - they are *never* a means of salvation.

Even in the OT when Abraham "believed" it resulted in 
"works" - it was his "belief" not his "works" which were 
then credited to him by God as "faith" which thus earned
him salvation.

> Yet, there are two teachings in the bible, saved by
> faith, and save by deeds:
> 
> Jas 2:24  Ye see then how that by works a man is
> justified, and not by faith only.
> 
> What do you think?
