I know the great power of prayer, but she will not listen too any scriptures. She will use the ones she likes, and take them out of context. Anyone have any other ideas? She knows the truth of faith in what christ has done for her, but she has placed it back in her church, friends, and law.
Anyone who is involved in works religion, you cant understand this question so dont bother answering. thank you.

No, she wants too be sanctified. But. when you place your faith somewhere other then what Christ has given us. You never will be.

Perhaps your friend is just really tired of your sanctimonious attitude.

My JW friend and I have gone round and round about this.
She thinks she must work her way into heaven.
I have tried and tried to prove by scriptures that your faith is what God requires.
If your faith is strong, the works will naturally follow, as a result of the faith.
But, like your friend, she still insists on falling back on works to save her.
If we have to work our way to heaven, then why was Jesus needed at all?
I know how frustrating it is to want your friend to only put her faith in Jesus, and not good works. Pray for her, and love her.
Prehaps she will be shown and will accept the real truth.

Just keep trusting in God, He will bring her back to the truth. You must be a wonderful friend, that you care so much. Keep praying for her.

Balla.... you're right, just hand her over to God and Believe His Will will be done for your friend.
He has much to do WITHIN your friend before you will see anything on the "outside"....so keep praying, trusting, and thanking Him....
God Bless :)

Yes, pray first and utmost. And "when my life they see, may they behold THEE" . Our prayers are with her, too.

Keep on praying
Try to find an inductive Bible study and invite her to it.

All you can do is pray for her to see the light...
There is nothing else you can do because of these two
words 'free will'
But you can pray....No law against it yet!!!
