The Only way one can prove their faith is if they are truly born again and dedicate their lives in doing the will of God (Matthew 7:21 read from verse 15 – 29). “Faith without works is dead” This is what I see happening in my country America, if U.S was really a Christian Country the violent and crazy things that I see and hear on the news every day would be rare. This Shows Me that Pastors And Bishops are not Building People, but rather concern about make money for themselves, because they do not want to tell their Members the truth because the truth hurts and the truth is the Word of God. It is easier to destroy then to build. In order For one to get to heaven along with faith they must love God with all their hearts by OBEYING his words stop living in worldly natural sin, But be born again by becoming a new person mentally & spiritually learn that the ways of the world is evil and fight it by showing love and doing what is right in the sight of the Lord , because He is always watching.

actually, it is by faith alone so that no man can boast... but if we are truly born again, we 'do' our works not out of 'working our way to heaven' but because we are required by our love and faith to show others who Jesus is and work towards the Great Commission.
but I do agree that many of the clergy in the US are failing to teach the whole truth in the bible about how we should be and shouldnt be... we have finally found a church where the pastor preaches from the word only... no cute lovey dovy stuff to 'feel good' about.. but truth that sometimes bites us in the butt depending on where we are failiing in our walk.... God is always watching and we need to fulfill those giftings that the Spirit is giving us.... not just sit back and do nothing waiting to die

I'm glad you don't hate us and thank you for your prayers. I also do not hate you, and I pray that God will guide you. We believe in the revelation given to the Prophet Muhammad by God, and because of what God says in the Quran, we do not believe that we need to worship Jesus to go to heaven, or that anyone needs to die to save us. Ultimately we rely on the mercy of God to enter heaven, but we try to live the best life we can, doing good and having faith while we are in this world.

You were right about this:
Did you know that faith doesn't determine if you get to heaven............
but you're Wrong about this:
even if you believe in God & his son Jesus;
1st of all: Jesus is God's son, but You are God's daughter and I'm a Son of God too, Humanity is God's children;
2nd of all: You and the rest of Humanity HAVE to do this, and believe in it, to return back Home, to Heaven:
Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.
"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
atheists = all the people in religion

Faith ALONE does not save you. This is true. Faith with out works is dead but the converse is also true. Works without faith(assuming you know the truth) will not gain you entrance to the kingdom of heaven.

I understand what you are saying and agree with much of it. However, a word a caution. Please be careful in judging others in what they did, or did not do and the responsibility that have on what happens. IE pastors and ministers.
Today's world is full of people who find fault in others and blame others. There is little personal responsibility it seems. Why do we not except full responsibility for our own actions? I mean, a person buys hot coffee from McDonald's. Key word hot. Duh, it is hot and you need to be careful. She drives away and spills it. Yes, it will hurt. yet, she sues McDonald's and wins. What ever happened to being careful and realizing that if you spill something hot, YOU will get burned. And not blaming others.
It is sad that someone can be so wicked that they take out other lives in the process of taking out their own. This is tragic. But be careful in whom you blame. We should all look inside and take responsibility for our own choices and not blame others for it.

Yes, I knew that. But it is of faith and works. Like, remember the Sabbath day and to keep it holy. Most of Christianity has Faith but no works. They choose Ishtar over Passover. Most of Christianity has no idea what The Day of Atonement is. Faith without works is dead. Satan's deception is powerful.

The thief on the cross was saved by faith, wasn't he? I can ask you, how is a person born again? By faith! By believing that Jesus died for us and by asking forgiveness for our sins the Bible says that he gives us a new life.
Good works do not save you if you do not have faith.
"know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified."
Galatians 2:16
Here's a verse in Galatians that explains how we are born again. It is by faith.
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
Galatians 2:20

They don't want to tell the truth because it will mean less money coming in to their coffers.
Most of the televangelists, with few exceptions, are just con men anyway, they don't believe what they say. They're just trying to pick the pigeons clean.
