St. Paul influenced many including Martin Luther when it comes to the doctrine of justification by faith alone. This is a Christian theological doctrine that distinguishes most Protestant denominations from Catholicism, Eastern Christianity, and some I'm the Restoration Movement. The doctrine of soma fide or "faith alone? asserts God's pardon for guilty sinners is granted to and received through faith, conceived as excluding all "works" alone.
 
This doctrine derived from St. Paul, an apostle, who initially was dedicated to the persecution of Jesus in Jerusalem.
 
I don't subscribe to Paul's idea that salvation is based on faith and not "works".
 
Jesus preached that God is LOVE and if you are not loving everyday, then you do not know God. Works do matter. How you treat others matters. Faith alone will not get you into the kingdom of heaven. 4951

"Jesus preached that God is LOVE and if you are not loving everyday, then you do not know God. Works do matter. How you treat others matters. Faith alone will not get you into the kingdom of heaven." You are tricky, aren't ya?? Faith alone is the beginning of salvation, it is a journey after that, but it all starts with FAITH. Works are good, helpful and part of living your faith, BUT works alone to earn credits from God are null and void without the foundation of faith. Look up the Pharisees...they were the embodiment of works, laws and appearances....without faith and love.And ponder this...if someone just accepted Christ and then dies in a car accident 3 days later without having had the time and opportunity to live out their faith, are they doomed?? 4951

Everyday I see individuals in the workplace, in traffic, and in public places displaying hateful acts...no altruism. But they have this false misconception that they will be saved because they go to church and "believe". 4951

You stigmatize and label me as "crazy" because I revealed to you that I've had spiritual encounters. I've always loved Jesus and God since I can remember.
 
But you will believe St. Paul, who was dedicated to the persecution of Jesus, because he claims the resurrected Jesus appeared to him in a great light and told him that "all you need is faith, not works". How do you know that St. Paul was not lying? After all, his mission was to percecute Jesus. How do you know that St. Paul was not crazy? How do you know it was not the devil he interacted with?
 
Are you really going to follow this man from AD 67? Or will you decide to actually think and discern this information yourself? 4951

If its only about the faith, then continue to cheat,
Continue to hate,
Continue to worship money,
Continue to rob,
Continue to be a glutton,
Continue to tell yourself "I am great",
Continue to pursue material things,
Continue to do harm to your temple,
Continue to smoke,
Continue to drink,
Continue to be judgmental,
Continue to ridicule the poor.
 
Just continue. Your faith will save you.
 
And we will see how far faith will take you. We will see what God says about your works. 4951

Nycoil - The Salvation Army organization is a false church. Your family members are officers and reap the benefits of all the money they accumulate during the holidays...lying to the public that its for the poor...when 90% of the money goes to the Salvation Army officers and their families. Mansion, luxury cars, high salaries, free groceries, all utilities paid, all American express cars paid, all vacations paid, all Christmas presents purchased for free for the wealthy Salvation Army's Major's families.
 
I disagree with this organization. What they are doing is wrong and unethical. 4951

This doctrine has an important purpose in the New Testament.The Old Testament was all about the Law, the Ten Commandments.  People who broke the Commandments were damned, and had to perform acts such as sacrifices in order to wipe away the sin.  Satan could use the law against people.  That's what he did in the story of Job.The New Testament was about a new covenant that didn't rely on the law.  People could still earn salvation simply by believing in Jesus.A somewhat modern take on this is Stephen King's "Storm of the Century".  An evil being, Linoge, uses the townspeople's past misdeeds to haunt and destroy them. 4951

Jesus spoke in parables so here's a parable...
 
A husband cheats on his wife. He says to his wife "Just have faith in me. I will never cheat again".
 
Now human nature says "show me". This is "the works".The same applies to the teaching of "faith" within your religious organizations. "Just have faith".
 
We should do the works as well but we don't.
 
And a cheating husband has to prove it by doing the works.
 
The same applies to God. You need to show God what you are about, which is having faith by doing faith. Meaning "I believe therefore I do". 4951

To be faithful;
1) You must conceive it consciously
2) Then do the works
 
Many churchgoers have faith but don't practice it.
 
Then you have false preachers, who don't really believe...but they do the works to deceive others. But they don't believe in the works that they do.
 
Practice what you preach. Actions speak louder than words.
