Okay, heard you.

But for me it's about obedience to His Words, which include to Have Faith FIRST.

To me everything is not just faith-based, because it says, "deny yourself, take up the Cross and Follow Me. Matt. 16:24

Also, to work out one's salvation with fear and trembling Phil. 2:12; whoever keeps looking back is not fit; and only those who endure till the end shall be saved.

I wouldn't like to add nor take anything away from the Word.

John.14.15 - "If you LOVE me, OBEY my commandments.

John 8:31 KJV
Then said Jesus to those Jews which "Believed" on him, IF ye "continue in my Word", then are ye my disciples indeed;

Thanks for your time.

Goodbye.
It is important to be obedient to scriptural word of God but the greatest is always be led by the Spirit of God which is the faith-based. No man get 100% pass mark in scriptural obedience because we fail in so many areas due to our sinful (imperfect) nature.

Fail in one is fail in all.

Right, that's why we got to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Philip. 2:12

Thanks.

Working out means to grow spiritually (NOT BODILY) by the leading of the Spirit because body features are flawed, it stinks and filthy.

Walking in spirit is a direct access to God in Christ, by it we are always filled and it is free and wide open for any man because it is written "if any man thirst, let him come and drink and he shall be filled," also "blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness." SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST IS GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS.. Out of Him flows the water of life to the labourers and burdened who are thirsty.

Brother, do away with pharisee Christianity. It is a stumbling block to the flow of God's Spirit of grace and working power of transformation (Ezekiel 47:1-11). It also breeds spiritual pride, self righteousness, self dependent and confidence, contention, hatred towards others,etc. REMEMBER, FAIL IN ONE IS FAIL IN ALL.

Alright friend, let's put a stop to it here. We don't seem to see eye to eye on doctrines.

We don't need to agree.

As a witness of Jesus, I major on teaching obedience to Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit according to the New testament, especially Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Matthew 5:19 KJV
Whosoever therefore shall BREAK one of these LEAST commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever SHALL "DO" AND TEACH them , the same shall be CALLED GREAT in the kingdom of heaven.

Alas, you've even started accusing me of your own guesses or things that I've not said or believe in. You might as well just ignore my posts, if I seem False or Pharisaical to you.

Thanks,
Have nice day.

I'm not accusing you but its a common fact hovering round the church today because it enhance fault findings, not grace.

-There are numerous logs in your eyes you are yet to remove while teaching to obey..

Primarily, "works" there mean "obedience" to the words of Jesus according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Like the first person (goldp5988) commented:

Obedience is better than Sacrifice... That is the summary of the post.
Obedience is actually really on the finished works of Christ rather than human works (sacrifice)

Jas.1.22 - But BE doers of the word, and NOT hearers ONLY, "deceiving" yourselves.
Re: Dead Faith by davidinchrist(op): 7:09pm On Jul 19, 2020
1John.2.3 - And how can we be sure that we belong to him? By obeying his commandments.


1John.2.4 - If someone says, "I belong to God," but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and does not live in the truth.


1John.2.5 - But those who obey God's word really do love him. That is the way to know whether or not we live in him.

Titus.1.16 - They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, DISOBEDIENT, and disqualified for every good work.
