Col 2:13 and Justification !
Col 2:13
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
This scripture speaks to Justification before faith or believing ! All for whom Christ died, dying for their...
Its simple, a act is a work, and if you condition your Justification of an act of yours, that act became the meritorious cause of your salvation/justification. Dont matter how you deny it !
Again:
Do you teach that Justification before God is a fact only after your act of believing/faith, or is it a fact based solely on the fact Jesus died for you ?
Do you teach that Justification before God is a fact only after your act of believing/faith, or is it a fact based solely on the fact Jesus died for you ?
Justification based upon an condition !
Those who teach that they are Justified before God, based on their act of faith, obedience or some kind of condition performed, they are in essence claiming more responsibility for their Justification than God had, for according to their reasoning, all...
All men have not Faith given to them !
2 Thess 3:1-2

Believing is an act a person does, for God doesnt believe for the individual, and its given to believe on Christ as a gift Phil 1:29
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

Ive read your explaining, so thats what Im posting , what you explained, equating to denying that Christ death alone Justified them He died for, and conditioning Justification before God on mans faith, believing. Now how am I misrepresenting you, thats what you have posted !
You are making your belief known, Im just agreeing with it. Dont you deny that Christ death Justified all for whom He died ? Dont you condition Justification before God on mans act of believing/faith ?
Thats the only thing to say, you keep conditioning Justification on man, and reject the Truth that Christs death Justified all for whom He died before Gods law and Justice, your rejection of that is unbelief.
