Hello, Dan, How many are being taught this type of doctrine in our Churches today? Is it a doctrine that Christ would have us follow? Does He want us to work for our Salvation? Was not the book of James written to the Hebrews and not the body of Christ as we know it through Paul's Mystery of Grace teachings? Read this and consider..... "Is a person saved by simply and only believing on the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior? Many churches now teach that a person is ready to meet the Lord in the second coming simply because they raised their hand and vocalized the phrase "I do now accept Christ as my personal Savior". This plan is simple, easy, soothing, mild, and effortless, but OH ... So FALSE! Ministers will be judged by God on the grounds of criminal negligence who allow their church members to continue in their sinful habits and at the same time believe they are gloriously saved. Saved from W H A T??? There is more to being saved than EASY BELIEVISM -please notice Acts 16:31 very closely. And they said "... thou shalt be (future tense) saved..." The Apostle Paul used the future tense, shalt be, which places the act or event in the future. Notice, he did not say, "Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou art saved", like so many do today. It takes more to being saved than saying "I believe". James 2:14 teaches that faith alone can not save. "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith and have not works? Can Faith Save Him?. James 2:20 declares, "Faith without works is dead". You do not have faith if you do not have works. Faith without works is dead. It can not save you if it is alone. Works are proof of faith. If works prove faith, then the absence of works prove unbelief. Yes, faith is necessary to be saved, but it takes more than just faith." podd.org Ministers will in fact be judged that teach any doctrine other than saved by faith alone. These are the ones that will be held up to Christ for anti-Christian teaching! Paul says as much to the Body of Christ and I believe it! We are saved by the blood of Christ and the Grace of God alone. Woe to them who teach another doctrine other than what Paul gave us from the mouth of God. This works doctrine is going to send a lot of people to hell! "Ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the Day Star arise in your hearts" 2 Peter 1:19 Santiago
