Alright, also I'm a Romanian pentecostal. Are you a American pentecostal? @DeButcher
What's the difference?
Just language
What about the Good Samaritan then? The ones with faith turned a blind eye on the helpless man
Faith doesn’t necessarily lead you to do good works
You can be religious with out having faith
What's the purpose of story. Why Jesus bring up this story
He brought it up because someone asked how to tell who his neighbor was and God gave the story showing the one with mercy is your neighbor
And that yes if you believe in God you will go to heaven but you also need to help others
Good so it's not about salvation/ faith but about being a good neighbor. He pointed out the religious leader to show that they are bad example to follow
But the Samaritan was the example even though his views differed
You are not weigh on good/bad scale. Our goodness can never lead us to heaven.
No one is good
No is good only Jesus was
Only Christ
So if I do the most horrific thing like violent rape but believe in God I’ll still go to heaven?
If you say that it's based on work then you are also saying Christ death on the cross was not sufficient @Pizzacork
No
I’m saying it’s both not just faith
Jesus paid it all.
No, that's abusing his grace,
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; aga
Correct but our actions can be good or evil. If I believe in God but still do horrific acts of violence I would go to hell
Bro if you fully accept Jesus then you will follow his commandment.
There are many fake "christian" that say they believe but don't any good
But they may believe Jesus exists and according to you that’s good enough to go to heaven
Follow by Christ example
It's not
Exactly you need to do good
They are fake christian
Look at it like this a criminal in jail on his last few minutes of life before death. He repents and is truly regretting his actions and ask God forgiveness and believes that Jesus chirst did die on the cross and rose from the dead will he be saved or will God not save him?
You need to do good but it's not part of the salvation
Does that make sense
So I can do evil and still go to heaven if I believe in God according to you
If you are doing evil then you are not christian
So if you do good are you Christian?
You haven't buried your sins in christ and follow your fleshy desire
Not all christian go to heaven
"christian"
