Answer 3

I may not be a Non Denominational Christian, but I know of the who think that Paul was a false apostle and what they think about him. Paul did get in a little disagreement with Peter as recoded in Galatians but notice the similarities between 1Peter and Ephesian. There is also a perceived contradiction between James and Hebrews concerning Abraham offering up his son. Let me sort it out. Abraham faith moved him to an obedience action. The action showed he had faith and because his faith he was saved. Let me apply it. Our faith in God should move us to repentance. Our actions after salvation should show we have faith.
