You have faith in your heart before you do any confessing, or jump in the water , or run to the mission field.

"Faith is counted (by God) as righteousness".

"justification by faith", without works or deeds of the Law.
Yes indeed. But don't forget that faith without works is dead. What then? Can faith save anyone then? Not according to James. The devil believes and trembles but he is not saved. You're only looking at one side of the coin brother and simply ignoring (or trying to explain away) the other side. Let's just be instructed and washed by the word and accept/receive it without thinking too hard about it.


Jas 2:13-26

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

@Behold .....those who are in the flesh cannot please God, they are still in darkness, in their sin,....their Spirit needs birthing in the Holy Spirit, which is an act of God....if one is still in the flesh , they aren’t in the Spirit, therefore don’t belong to God ,they haven’t been birthed/ regenerated?....

You must be born again for the Holy Spirit to lead you through scripture/ his word.......

Romans 8:8

@Behold .....those who are in the flesh cannot please God, they are still in darkness,

Not born again = in the flesh, : Unbeliever

However, .....

"fallen from Grace".... is a believer whose faith is "subverted"... Their faith is broken, while their born again status is always eternal

"""O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?""""


Who are these people?

They are the "self savers".,,, LEGALISTS.... who are born again, but no longer believe that Jesus Keeps them Saved.

They are these.

A.) Salvation can be Lost

AA.) I can lose my Salvation

AAA ) You can lose your Salvation

Great questions, which God Answers, According To His Word Of Truth, Right Divided - ie:

Humble Christ, on the earth, To Israel, 12 apostles, Under The Law/covenants/Prophecy:

1) Repent (change mind about sin/agree With God "it is Wrong!") or perish
(Luk 13:3,5 Mar 1:4 Luk_3:3, 24:47}
+
2) believe the gospel of the kingdom (Mat 4:23, 9:35, 24:14; Mar 1:14,15)
+
3) be baptized "For the remission of sin" (Mar 1:4 Luk 3:3, 7:29:30, 24:47;
Act 2:38)
+
4) "show works meet for repentance" (Mat 3:8), because,
+
5) "to the twelve tribes of Israel," "faith Without works is dead"
(Jam 1:1, 2:17,26)
+
6) "keep the commandments" to "enter life" (Mat 19:17)
+
7) "one thing thou lackest...sell ALL/take up cross/follow Jesus"
(Mar 10:17-23)

8) Hebrews belongs here: "faith PLUS works!":

earthly prophecy/LAW/covenants ( Previous / Future dispensations of God... )

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ” (online)

Glorified Christ, From Heaven, To ONE apostle and His 'ONE Body,' Under Grace /
Mystery
( Current Dispensation of God ):

1) Repent (change mind about sin/agree With God "it is Wrong!"):

"Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God,​
and faith toward our LORD Jesus Christ." (Acts 20:21)​

2) believe (with ALL the heart, trust, place 100% faith in) The Gospel Of The
Grace Of God:


"For I delivered unto you first of all That Which I also received, how​
That Christ Died for our sins According To The Scriptures; And That​
He Was Buried, and that He Rose Again the third day According To​
The Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

3) "By Grace Are ye Saved Through faith..." Apart from All works!!:

Plus Nothing!:

"...and That not of yourselves: It Is The Gift Of God: Not​
of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)​

Plus Nothing, Confirmed!:

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, But According
To His Mercy He Saved us, By The Washing of Regeneration, and​
Renewing of The Holy Ghost" (Titus 3:5)​

Plus Nothing, Further Confirmed!:

"Who Hath Saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according​
to our works, but According To His Own Purpose And Grace, Which Was​
Given us In Christ Jesus before the world began" (2 Timothy 1:9)​
+
12-Dozen Plain and Clear Passages, For the Body Of Christ, Under Grace:

God's OPERATION On All HIS New-born babes In CHRIST
+
God's Eternal Assurance

-------------------

Also:

Faith + Works = Justification


Amen.

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.


Here is the understanding of the context of the verse.

James is talking about this..

He says..

"i will show YOU.............YOU............my faith by my works".

Not God.

So, the "Justification" that James is talking about in your verse is "before MEN". "YOU">

This is........how will people know you have faith, if you have no works"..

So, this is ....

"by their FRUIT. you shall know them"..

That is the not just by faith alone.....that James is explaining in your verse.

As Gods Elect I see the fragmatations. Many people don't want to accept accountability. In first samuel, Israel demanded a king. They used the two sons of samuel corruption as a verdict to try to avoid accountability. its just point the fingers at the king. In garden of eden, Adam and eve did the blame game. Are we getting the picture. Judah during the reign of Samson, turned cowards. They handed over Samson to the philistines. Do you think they intended to have accountability. In gospel of Matthew, jesus spoke of any who would desire to carry their own cross daily and follow Jesus. How many play actor's and apostates will Sincerely follow Jesus??. James companion 1 tells us to be Doers of the word. Some people are hearers of the word. If I stay ignorant, I can forfeit accountability.

We are not saved by following Jesus, or by trying to "be like Christ", or by carrying a Cross or by any other self effort that tries to work your way into heaven.

We are saved by the blood and death of Jesus.
Jesus is God's "gift of salvation".

Accept no false substitute.

Amen. Unfortunately some dear folks will immediately assume you are trying to save yourself by works, or of teaching that, if you speak of the exhortations, warnings and admonishments and instruction in scripture having to do with our part in obeying/following the Lord. They are having trouble reconciling being saved by faith with the necessity of having some fruits and works to show for it, everyone according to their several ability in the circumstances we are dealt with (eg, we aren't all expected to be Peters and Pauls). I pray the Lord will help us to understand these things aright.

The people who have trouble, are those who believe that if they dont provide works and self effort, then they can't keep themselves saved.

This person has no faith in Christ, as real faith in Christ understands that Jesus who saved you, keeps you saved.

They dont understand that, so they are always trying to work to keep themselves saved, while worrying about sin.

See that?
That is "broken faith".

its faith in SELF, to "do enough" to stay saved.

That's : LEGALISM

Because you DODGED it. So let me repeat the verse: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; (Rom 3:24,25)

So do you get it? Do you even understand this verse?

Nope - the evidence overwhelmingly points to Behold getting it right. The moment a person is regenerated they receive eternal life and all of their sins are instantly and eternally erased ... past, present, and future.

Romans 3:25,”Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”

The above passage is perhaps the most misunderstood passage concerning this issue. Many make the assumption that this verse is stating that when a person applies the blood of Christ to their hearts by faith, it is only their past sins that have been blotted out. But is this actually the case? … not at all. I agree with the perspective that is provided in the Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary :

verses 25, 26 – Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation—or “propitiatory sacrifice. “through faith in his blood—Some of the best interpreters, observing that “faith upon” is the usual phrase in Greek, not “faith in” Christ, would place a “comma” after “faith,” and understand the words as if written thus: “to be a propitiation, in His blood, through faith.” But “faith in Christ” is used in Galatians 3:26 and Ephesians 1:15; and “faith in His blood” is the natural and appropriate meaning here.

to declare his righteousness for the remission—rather, “pretermission” or “passing by.”

of sins—”the sins.”

that are past—not the sins committed by the believer before he embraces Christ, but the sins committed under the old economy, [the Old Testament] before Christ came to “put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.”

through the forbearance of God—God not remitting but only forbearing to punish them, or passing them by, until an adequate atonement for them should be made. In thus not imputing them, God was righteous, but He was not seen to be so; there was no “manifestation of His righteousness” in doing so under the ancient economy. But now that God can “set forth” Christ as a “propitiation for sin through faith in His blood,” the righteousness of His procedure in passing by the sins of believers before, and in now remitting them, is “manifested,” declared, brought fully out to the view of the whole world. [Our translators have unfortunately missed this glorious truth, taking “the sins that are past” to mean the past sins of believers—committed before faith—and rendering, by the word “remission,” what means only a “passing by”; thus making it appear that “remission of sins” is “through the forbearance of God,” which it certainly is not].

Rejoice over this wonderful news my friend!!

To the title of this thread, the cross was only the implement by which the sacrifice was made but that's the extent of it's importance.

The SACRIFICE, however is the propitiation for OUR FORGIVENESS of sin !
1 John 2:2. “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
John 14:6 KJV: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


To DENY HE WHO HUNG ON THAT TREE IS TO.........DENY GOD, AND RISK THE ETERNAL DAMNATION OF ONE'S
SOUL !!!!

op: denying The Cross?

Rom 5:8 "But God Commendeth His Love Toward us, in​
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ Died for us."​

While we were yet sinners? In God's Mind, On The Cross, For
100% All of our sins? Or, Only 'a portion' of them? Let's see:

"For By Grace are ye Saved Through faith; and that Not of yourselves: it is​
The Gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)​

So, is it 100% "By Grace Through faith," + ZERO% self/works?

or some "math equation" 1% Christ + 99% self to 99% Christ + 1% self/works?

Please believe with all the heart 100% faith and trust in Him/His Cross/Resurrection,

Or, For Even 1%
self/works?: =

Rom 4:4 "Now to him that worketh is the reward Not Reckoned of Grace,​
but of debt!" (See debt of "Second Death" Revelation 20:11-15)

Christ, God Himself, Paid The FULL Sacrifice, Not any man-made partial one!

Amen.

Is love/ tenderness an equation? something one argues about? Those that do argue haven't understood the language (paid, ransom, gift, free, propitiation, sacrifice etc) used. They think in terms of an necessary activated exchange.

Have you considered that God's generosity, his tenderness, his long-suffering (I won't use the word 'love' because it has been done to death so that it's meaning is distorted) does not becomes a reality when people believe right? God's attributes are from everlasting to everlasting, nothing activates it, nothing stops it. It is always present, even when we decide to kill the author of life, it doesn't waver.

Misrepresenting God is Satans speciality. He turns good news into good advice. He turns loving into talking about it till the talk becomes sickly sweet and meaningless. He turns worship into a formula, dividing the babes by keeping them ignorant yet feeling their words are indisputable.

Bible Rejectors, Heretics, and the deceived blaspheme the power of the Cleansing BLOOD of Jesus , by teaching that only past sins are forgiven by the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross.
Paul teaches, that the Cross Of Christ is = "THE "ETERNAL Sacrifice for sin"" that is the finished work of Jesus on The Cross..

How do you know its Eternal ?
How do you know the BLOOD ATONEMENT, the NEW COVENANT, written in the Blood of Jesus is "ETERNAL"?, and not just temporary, or "past only" sins are forgiven?

1.) Well, one of the ways you know is that when The Blood Of Jesus has washed away your sin, you have ETERNAL LIFE< and eternal life is not Temporary.
So, the "Power of the Blood of Jesus"..>Its FRUIT, is "ETERNAL LIFE", that is now the Born again Believer's, spiritual domain.

ALSO....

2.) Because the Cross of Cross is 2000 yrs ago, and its still paying for sin TODAY, for as Long as God lives to keep offering ""the Gift of Salvation""" as "the Gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS".

Reader...Listen..

There is a "damned" Galatians 1:8 cult teaching that says...>>>"only the sins that you committed before you are born again, are forgiven"

And that denies the Lord's "ETERNAL Sacrifice for Sin"""


So, the Self Righteous, play this game......Reader..

= "As long as i remember all my sin to confess, God will keep saving me over and over, and forgive me over and over".

So that is now the person up on the Cross..Confessing to try to stay saved....., and Jesus is ripped off the nails by their Self Righteousness.

A.) (Self Saving). = Christ denying.

The Born Again, who understand the "" ONE TIME...ETERAL Sacrifice of Christ "" as """God hath made Jesus to be SIN for us" ...know that Jesus has their sin, and They have become a "new creation in Christ' ....."Made Righteous." and are "one with God" "In Christ", and there is no sin found there.

AS...."::Being Now = made free from sin"::, is the eternal fruit of Jesus's Sacrifice on the Cross. Paul teaches.

See that 'NOW". ????? "NOW being made free from sin"?

That means = right NOW.... and for always.. "being made free"..."from sin".

That is the Power of the Blood Atonement.
When one repents and is baptized sins up to that time are forgiven. Future sins will be forgiven, upon prayer request, under the continued grace umbrella created by Christs' sacrifice on the cross.

Thanks be to God for such glorious redemption plan for a wretch like me. Hallelujah!!
Amen.

Yes.

Here is how you "deny the Cross".

1.) Atheist

2.) "fallen from Grace"


#2 is a born again Christian who believes they can or have lost their salvation.

Why do they believe this?
Its because a heretic showed them verses that are not given as doctrine to a born again Christian, and this heretic used these bible verses to destroy the faith of a believer.

Paul said.. = "WHO.... has bewitched you"... so that "you NO LONGER OBEY THE TRUTH"..

What is the Truth?

The Truth is, that Jesus is Salvation, and not works, water, or commandments or law.

The TRUTH is that once you are born again, you are always born again.

The TRUTH is that God who saved you through the Cross of Christ, keeps you saved, through the Blood Atonement, that is the finished work of Jesus on the Cross.

So, once a person believes that "salvation can be lost" then they have lost contact with the Cross. They have lost contact with real faith.
Their faith is no longer in Jesus., as when You believe in Jesus then you believe that Jesus Keeps you saved.

When a believer does not believe this, does not trust this, then the question is...

"Then who or what are YOU TRUSTING IN, to get you to heaven, now that you don't believe that Jesus keeps you saved". ????????

See that?
That is a person with broken faith, no faith,... they are "fallen from Grace".... and all they have left is to try to stay saved by SELF EFFORT.

"doing"
"confessing"
"repenting".

And REAL faith in Christ is not any of that.......none of that.

Bible Rejectors, Heretics, and the deceived blaspheme the power of the Cleansing BLOOD of Jesus , by teaching that only past sins are forgiven by the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross.
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Bad Paul. Heretic.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

Bad Peter. Heretic.

It is a fact that there are many heretics in Christianity. In truth, since there are many gospels for Christians to choose from, that have been preached since the days of Paul, then technically speaking every Christian is a heretic to any other Christian that preaches another gospel.

I am a heretic to you preaching all your past, present, and future sinning is already forgiven, and you are a heretic to me preaching only past sinning is forgiven. I don't mind that at all. I like clear distinct lines drawn between our gospels we preach. No murky gray areas to grope around in between us.

And thank you very much for your challenge and throwing down the gauntlet. I've been looking for a Christian to quote, when I speak of Christians that say the preachers of righteousness at all times are the heretics in the room. Because we are certainly heretics according to your gospel, which is to never cease from sinning, but only to hopefully sin less than before.

And so, I just wanted to read your declaration of heresy based upon your gospel for myself, so that I can now quote it by authority of your own preaching. Thank you again.

Sincerely, a whole hearted heretic to your gospel, gladly joining the ranks of Peter and Paul. And I do not mind at all your heresy against my gospel I preach. Live and let live I say, and let the chips fall where they may, and it will be the Lord judges everyone one of us by our works, and not by our forgiveness we may believe and teach.

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:

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.


No, that's not the devil, but the Father and righteous judge of all the earth to condemn all sinning without respect of persons, and will by no means acquit the guilty by reason of whatever gospel they my believe, live, and preach.

Ive never taught that only "past sins" are forgiven.
I teach that """Jesus became our sin, and is our one time eternal sacrifice."""

This is Paul's theology.

The only way to "be holy" is to receive the "gift of Righteousness".

The born again person is become "the righteousness of God in Christ" and there is the righteousness, the holiness.
Its comes from God.
Its "the GIFT of Righteousness".

= "As long as i remember all my sin to confess, God will keep saving me over and over, and forgive me over and over".

So that is now the person up on the Cross..Confessing to try to stay saved....., and Jesus is ripped off the nails by their Self Righteousness.

A.) (Self Saving). = Christ denying.

The Born Again, who understand the "" ONE TIME...ETERAL Sacrifice of Christ "" as """God hath made Jesus to be SIN for us" ...know that Jesus has their sin, and They have become a "new creation in Christ' ....."Made Righteous." and are "one with God" "In Christ", and there is no sin found there.

AS...."::Being Now = made free from sin"::, is the eternal fruit of Jesus's Sacrifice on the Cross. Paul teaches.

See that 'NOW". ????? "NOW being made free from sin"?

That means = right NOW.... and for always.. "being made free"..."from sin".

That is the Power of the Blood Atonement.
I do not agree with this Christian gospel of unrighteousness being preached here. I don't argue with it, but just reject it outright.

We know it is preaching unrighteousness for life, because it's inherent in it's doctrine.

To say that we are already forgiven of past sinning, present sinning, and future sinning, is simply saying we were sinning, we are sinning, and we shall be sinning unto death. It rules out by definition any possibility of not sinning today and tomorrow. Otherwise, how can we already be forgiven of them, if we fail to commit them? Does God forgive not sinning? Nay, but only sinning. Can God forgive not sinning today? Nay but only sinning today. Tomorrow? Yes, the same for today. You see, we must sin today and tomorrow for God to have already forgiven it. Is God a liar? A false prophet? God forbid!

This is a Christian gospel of foreordained sinning from cradle to grave, which I am familiar with and simply most heretically reject it. By it's core doctrine, it prophecies all men have, are, and will be sinning against God unto death. It is the gospel of being Christian sinners the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow (But not forever.)

Now, while the first part is certainly true, that all men have sinned, the 2nd part is only true for those sinning today. Not for those not sinning today. And again the third is true, if tomorrow comes.

After all, all men have not faith in the gospel of unrighteousness, and some heretics even dare to disobey it by choosing to do good rather than evil. And not just today, after all why stop there? But tomorrow also! Which of course doubles down on the heresy. And if that means God not having to forgive us for sinning against Him neither today nor tomorrow? Then I say so be it.

I am an unrepentant heretic to the Christian gospel of preordained daily sinning for life until death do us part from the devil. And that includes my sympathies to those living and preaching it, seeing how the grave must truly be a most sorrowful event at ending their sinning. As well as their God's opportunity to continue preforgiving it.

Yes, I am such a reprobate heretic of this Christian prepaid sinning for life, that I do most certainly mock it.

But all in fun, because I do so enjoy it.
