This question Has NOTHING To do with WORKS. But, to Live for Jesus in Everything you do and Say - Everything in your Lives.

So your saying if someone gets saved an d after time falls and sins then God has no longer imputed Christ's righteousness to you? This seems silly, as at the moment of Salvation God has given each believer His own Son's righteousness and holiness. When he looks at us He only sees the Blood--the blood of His perfect Son Jesus. You might want to really study the WHOLE scriptures not just select ones and really understand what you are talking about before you start saying, "if you don't live perfectly, you will burn"

I agree in concept but not in actuality. No human being is capable of truly living the word of God as this would require you to NEVER sin and I doubt if that is possible. But to try your best to live the word of God..yes. I don't think God likes luke warm Christians. You are either all for him...or you are all against him.

The only way to heaven is Jesus Christ, and its only faith in his finished work which saves us and gives us eternal life. And this comes through repentance of sins. then of course those who love Jesus will obey his commandments as a result of which other people have proof that the person is truly saved. But its not doing anything or obeying Jesus' commandments that saves us. Its only faith in his finished work. All good works only spring out of true faith. Never mix faith and works because faith is only essential to salvation (eternal life)

How can someone read the book of Romans and the book of Galatians and come to the conclusion that we have to "Work" for our salvation? If that were true, Christ Jesus would not have had to have sacrificed Himself for our sin. He could have just stayed in heaven and kept score.
1 Cor 3:14-15 "If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames."
Gal 5:4 "You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace."
Gal 2:21 " I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
"Works" are an important aspect of our relationship with God, they are a sort of spiritual barometer of our oneness with Christ Jesus, apart and separate from our salvation.
We do not boast of these "Works" we do, rather, we give all Praise and Glory to Christ Jesus for producing these "Works" in us. The "Works" we do apart from the Holy Spirit ,are detestable to God. The "Works" we do through Gods Spirit, are pleasing to Him.
God Bless All Who Read This....Peace.

In Order to get to heaven you need to Believe in Jesus and put your faith in Him. See Ephesians 2:8-10 (chapter 2, verses 8 through 10).Repent of your sins. (See Acts 17:30,31.)Confess Jesus as Lord to someone. (See Matthew 10:32,33 and Romans 10:9,10.)Be baptized. (See Acts 2:38,39.)Being baptized means being immersed in water. Typically, a person would stand in water, be lowered into the water (by another Christian), and then be brought back up out of the water.

yes, i am just not clear on one thing. my neighbour plants corn and tomatoes in the same field.
and this is clearly a violation of the laws outlined in leviticus.
am i required to kill him myself.
and if i do will the legal system keep me out of jail because i am only doing what the bible has told me to do.
and,
if someone is working on sunday i know that they must be put to death. and that the method should be to stone them. but gathering stones would be work right. so do i waite untill monday. or do i gather stones and stone them to death and then have others stone me to eath for working on sunday. how does that work.

The Bible says, it is by grace you are saved through faith not of works lest any man should boast. It is the gift of God.

yes, but to go to heaven you need to praise Allah or God in every way. God will decide if you have achieved the goal of going to heaven or the opposite of that depending what you did to "LIVE" :)
