    Salvation - Part 2

    Personal attacks ought to affect the posts and possibly the poster but not the thread. That being said. Baptism is, in the Church's teaching, instrumental in the salvation of souls so it is appropriate to discuss it here in a thread about salvation.

    Can faith save him?

    Not just trick words. Sola Fide is deception. Sola Fide misleads - if it were possible - the very elect.

    Can faith save him?

    Faith is alone in some people. Saint James writes about them. It is unfaithful to pretend otherwise. James 2:14-17 ESV What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily...

    Can faith save him?

    Faith is alone in some people. It appeared to be alone in Simon Magus. It appears to be alone in many political leaders who speak of their faith and act in very troubling ways. Saint James writes about people who give words rather than substance to the poor citing these people as examples of...

    Can faith save him?

    Can his faith save him? The answer is "no". Faith doesn't save if it is faith alone. Faith alone cannot save. That is the teaching of the holy scriptures. Be a doer of the word and not merely a hearer of it. Without doing there's no salvation to be found in faith. As holy scripture says...

    Romans 7:1-6 1 Or do you not know, brothers, (now I am speaking to those who know the law) that the law has dominion over a man only so long as he lives? 2 For example, a woman who is subject to a husband is obligated by the law while her husband lives. But when her husband has died, she is...

    Romans 3:21-31 21 But now, without the law, the justice of God, to which the law and the prophets have testified, has been made manifest. 22 And the justice of God, though the faith of Jesus Christ, is in all those and over all those who believe in him. For there is no distinction. 23 For all...

    A Bible Without Chapter and Verse

    Printed editions of The Jerusalem Bible have verse numbers in the margin and dots in the text so that you can tell where the verse number would be but by doing that they make the passages read without interruption. I like it.

    Can faith save him?

    Christians do good works because that is what God called them to do. That is what saint Paul says in Ephesians 2:10. It is also what saint James says in James 2:14-26. There's not tension between doing good works and living the life of faith. They are the same thing. As the scripture says James...

    Salvation - Part 2

    The key about baptism is that baptism is a sacrament given by God to the Church for marking the faithful as members of Christ and as elect by God. It is a sacrament where God does the work and people participate. It is, in short, a visual and tactile icon of salvation that God chose to convey...
