Do you notice the
subtle lie? "Salvation is through a person's faith... in Jesus the
promised Messiah."
This necessarily
implies that a person of fallen humanity, who is not yet saved, is capable
of exercising faith in the promised Messiah in order to be saved.
Are you following?
Whether
retrospectively or prospectively, God has always saved in the same manner:
freely by His grace (the manner of salvation) through the faithfulness of the
promised Redeemer (the basis of salvation) in His work of redeeming His people.
Christ's
faithfulness in living a perfect and sinless life of obedience (thus securing the
righteousness), as well as His substitutionary death in the stead of His people
(thus securing the forgiveness) and His glorious resurrection from the dead DID
crush the head of Satan.
If salvation is
indeed through a person's faith in Jesus the promised Messiah, then God's elect
who are incapable of faith - e.g. those who are too young or, mentally
challenged, or too old, etc. are damned by this fable.
Faith is a fruit and
effect of the salvation, secured by Christ, already freely bestowed by the grace
of God to a man when he is dead in trespasses and sins. Faith in Christ is an
evidence that salvation by Jesus Christ HAS BEEN freely bestowed to the
believing one. Breath is evidence that the dead has been quickened, freely by
God's grace.
If salvation is
indeed through a person's faith in Jesus the promised Messiah, then it's
salvation by work! Christ Himself said it. Here, read these words slowly and
carefully...
John 6 KJT
28 ¶Then said they
unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 ¶Jesus answered
and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he
hath sent
Faith in Christ is a
WORK God requires of those whom He has freely saved by His grace. They want to
do the works (plurals), Christ said, this is THE work (singular) that God
requires of you, believe on Him whom He has sent, even Jesus the Christ.
Why are so many so
misled and deceived?
Stop believing
fables.Soundbites deceive.
2Timothy 4 - KJT
3 For the time will
come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall
they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

You can't have
salvation without faith, and you can't have faith without salvation. I've found
that the definitions of these words have been watered down to mean less than
scripture teaches. Only God is the source of spiritual life

Sam, the
salvation that enables a man to have faith, and the salvation obtained by a
man's faith are different and distinct salvations.
Just inquire:
How does God save a
man, and save him from what?
How does a man's faith saves him, and saves him from what?
Sam Vigue
Sing, God has
three parts but there is one God. Salvation has multiple parts, yet only one
salvation from God.
Sing F Lau
There is a salvation
that Jesus Christ alone has accomplished and secured for His people, and freely
bestowed upon them individually by God; and there is a salvation that they (already saved by grace) must work out for themselves with fear and trembling.
The former is
eternal salvation freely by God's grace from the eternal lake of fire; the
latter is temporal salvation that requires faith and obedience to obtain.
Sam Vigue
Sing, is
temporal salvation a free gift?
Sing F Lau
Sam: Temporal
salvation is through the obedience of God's children (those already given the free
gift of eternal salvation) to the Father's will.
1 Timothy 4:16 KJT —
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing
this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Philippians 2:12 KJT
- Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only,
but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and
trembling.
Acts 2:40 KJT — And
with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from
this untoward generation.
Do you understand???
