Perhaps you can show us that you even
understood my position.
1. There is a 'sola fide' that I reject as
the lie from the pit of hell.
2. There is a 'sola fide' that I receive as
the truth taught by Apostle Paul.
Now, please show us that you have read and
understood my positions on the above two statements. Otherwise, you are just
speaking ignorantly... and that is shameful enough!
There is a sola fide that is a lie of the
devil and comes from the pit of hell, even this popular fiction about
justification before God: "righteousness is imputed to a man through his
believing." And this is what Nathaniel and the likes of him believe...
whether they are of the reformed or Arminian!
That view is just plain erroneous for these
nonsense:
- a man without the imputed righteousness,
therefore still under condemnation, is capable of believing...
- a man without the imputed righteousness is
already regenerated and capable of believing...
- If you more, let me know!!!
A man is JUSTIFIED by the righteousness of
Christ alone
- That's the LEGAL justification: the righteousness of Christ IMPUTED IMPUTED IMPUTED to him at the cross.
A man is JUSTIFIED by the grace of God:
- That is VITAL justification: how the righteousness of Christ is APPLIED APPLIED APPLIED to a man personally.
A man is JUSTIFIED by faith alone:
- This is EXPERIENTIAL justification:
believing in Jesus Christ is the manner how a CHILD OF GOD [ALREADY justified,
regenerated and adopted, and given the Spirit of adoption...] experiences the
blessedness of his justified state by God's free grace. There is NO NO NO
accounting of righteousness here at all.
A biblical distinction is the essence of sound theology.
