If we believe the Bible, then in any manner of speaking the Father does judge every man, regardless of beliefs, according to our works.
True. We can either choose to believe all the words of the Bible, or not. And also we can choose to do the words or not. The Bible says that by not doing the word, our faith we have is dead.
They have a faith, just not God's saving faith.
Which will be determined by judgement of our works.
Being born of God is taught differently between the Bible and some other gospel.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Being born of God in the Bible is always with the good and righteous works of Jesus' faith.
Until we are obedient sons of God, our faith remains dead, and we are not born of God.
The Bible says plainly only those doing His will are born of God and are members of His family.
If we are doing His will.
These doctrine-spun words sound fair and pretty enough, but they have no substance of righteous and good works. They divert from living godly, and only offer a fair speech of 'living with God' without living godly.
True. And all doers of such unrighteous works of the flesh are judged and condemned by their ungodly works.
Believers without doing good are judged and condemned the same as unbelievers not doing good.
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
God is not a respecter of persons based upon faith alone, but justly judges every man's works the same, if we are doing the same, whether good unto life, or sinful unto death.
Absolutely true in John 3. That includes believers by hearing only, as well as unbelievers not naming His name.
The unbelievers are more honest.
Another spun empty faith speech, that says nothing of the doing the truth. All faith and coming and light, and no works nor deeds. It's like Jesus looking for the fruit on the tree, and only finding many bright leaves.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
The Bible says we come to God, that our deeds may be judged as good.
Teachers of faith alone without works, can't even so much as speaks of deeds and works in the same sentence as their speeches of faith only.
I.e. our past works of good or evil, before coming to Christ, mean nothing to God and are all counted as filthy rags to Him, no matter how neighborly we were.
Our present works and deeds with Jesus, are now good and righteous altogether. And our works at the end are judged to be reward with resurrection unto life, or unto shame.
This is faith without works taught with an appearance of humility.
What we did, does nothing toward being justified with God. What we now do does everything towards being justified with God and judged worthy to be rewarded with resurrection from the dead unto life.
Inheriting the everlasting kingdom of Christ is only for them doing His will unto the end.
Believing Him and His will is good, without doing it, is worse then the unbelievers, that do not shame Him by naming His name with lips only.
We receive the righteousness of God with a whole new life born of God. We do His righteousness to be justified in our faith, that it is of God, or of ourselves alone.
The Bible fact is we cannot be judged righteous and justified to live with God now nor in the resurrection, without doing His righteousness.
The main problem with the faith alone gospel without works, is that it applies what is true about our past lives without Christ, to our present lives with Christ.
That disannuls the judgment of God by our works, and replaces it with our own faith alone.
True. We are not washed clean by our past works without Christ. We are kept clean by our present righteous works in Christ.
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
We know that whosoever is born of God is not sinning; but he that is begotten of God is keeping himself, and that wicked one is touching him not.
Once again, the main problem is applying our old sinful lives before Christ, to our present lives in Christ.
This is the partial doctrine of Christ, that always falls short by faith alone.
The Bible says only by doing His righteousness are we being righteous as Him.
This is doctrinally parsing between being made righteous by faith only and being righteous by works. As though there were a difference.
Separate being made righteous from being righteous, can only come from separating faith from works. The Bible doesn't.
Only the dishonest self-righteous Christians, like the Jews, think to add their own special commandments and rules to the law of Christ, so that they are more righteous than Jesus, and condemn Him by their own rules.
The dishonest Christians on the other side of the sword, are the ones trying to take away from His righteousness, in order to bring His will down to their own sinful level.
