Faith Vs Works
I am Apostolic Pentecostal and I 100% believe that all you have to do to be saved is have faith/believe. James said "Faith without works is dead." Faith is accompanied by works. Faith is manifest by works. I can stand in front of a tree from day light to dusk and believe it will fall over but until I pick up my axe and start chopping than my faith is dead. In other words it's pointless, it's inevitable, it's irrelevant, it means nothing without doing some work. Believe your seeds will grow all you want but until you plant them you aren't getting anywhere. Faith without works is dead. I believe the Jews and Gentiles in this day understood exactly what having faith meant. I don't believe the word faith means the same thing It didn't them. I believe it's an idea to modern Western Christianity but in 50ad I believe it was an action word. It's takes more than just believing in God to get to Heaven. Even the Devils believe in God. James 2:19 KJVS Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. I guess according to your logic than the Devils will be in Heaven with us too. Somehow I doubt that. Justify your sin with convincing yourself that you can't lose salvation if you want to. I guess we will find out won't we? ;) hit me up in 200 years it'll be rough climb from where you'll be If you keep believing that once saved always saved crap. Or as I call it Once Washed Always Clean. -_-
