Are we saved by Faith without Works? To get a good view of faith and its influence upon those who truly possess it, please read the eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews. Verse 1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". The Apostle Paul says in Romans Chapter 10, verse 17: faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God". So then The word of God tells us of God's purpose for our lives and of His desires about our eternal destiny. He tells us about man's perfect beginning, of his fall into sin by following the advice of Satan, and of man's bondage in sin until he is redeemed by a Saviour. God's word tells us how Jesus Christ died: "the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God", and how we may have salvation in Him, I Peter 3: 18. God's word also tells us of heaven as the great home for which we may hope because of our trust and reliance, or faith, in Christ, and because of our obedience to Him, Hebrews 5: 9.

Isa. 6: 5. The New Testament also gives great emphasis to sanctification.

The 7 Promises Of God to Man God's promise to Abraham was first spelled out in Genesis Chapter 12. It was repeated in Chapter 22. Verse 18 reads: "And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice". Now a promise is of no more value than is the ability of the one who makes it to carry through. It also includes willingness to do so. God did carry through with Abraham. Paul points out in Galatians 3:16, that it was through Christ God intended to fulfill the promise to Abraham. Also in Acts 13:32-33, the Apostle says: "And we declare unto you glad tidings how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again." The contour of Jesus' life, while living on earth, was shaped by his trust in the power of the promises of God.

Bible Texts Calvinists misuse to prove "Limited Atonement" God does not force anyone to accept or reject His will. 3. John 6:44 " No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day . "It is written in the prophets , ' And they shall all be taught of God .' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. " (John 6:44-45) This verse is commonly used to support the idea that God directly calls the sinner to salvation. However, Calvinists never quote the very next verse that tells you how they are drawn. "Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me" So how does the Father draw? When a sinner "hears and learns". Unless the Calvinist is willing to say that all men learn the gospel directly from God, like Paul in Gal 1:12, the verse is of no value to support the false doctrine of irrisistable grace.

Biblical Subordination expressed by early Fathers and apologists ... This represented a departure from both scripture and what almost all Christians from 100-300 AD taught. Jehovah's Witnesses are correct when they emphasize the subordination of Christ to the Father (in rank or power), but outright misrepresent history, when they say the early church viewed Jesus as a creature. It is not surprising that the Nicene Creed overemphasizes the equality of Christ with the Father, since Arius' doctrine of a created Christ was its primary target. The purpose of the Nicene Creed was to emphasize Jesus was equal to the Father as a class of being, and here it was absolutely correct. But the Nicene Creed overemphasized the rank and power equality of Christ with the father, and here it was in error. 200 AD Tertullian "We have been taught that He proceeds forth from God, and in that procession He is generated; so that He is the Son of God, and is called God from unity of substance with God.

Could mass murder Jeffrey Dahmer get to heaven before YOU? I must admit that when I first heard this bizarre twist of events, that I had no problem believing God could forgive. My problem was believing that someone like Dahmer could truly repent of his sins. The Jews on Pentecost asked Apostle Peter after he convicted them of murdering Jesus Christ, "What shall we do?" Peter replied to them, "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of your sins" Acts 2:37-38. Which sin was worse? Dahmer's or the murder of the sinless Christ? God forgave 3000 souls of their sin of murdering Christ. "So then, those who had received Peter's word were baptized; and there were added that day about three thousand souls." Acts 2:41 The critical question is not whether God could forgive Dahmer, but whether Dahmer truly repented. Apostle Paul was also guilty of murdering the innocent. He was primarily responsible for the stoning of Stephen in Acts 8.
