Here is an example. You always quote this passage but leave out the explanation :
Your favourtie passage He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
This is the explanation by JesusAnd this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God. (John 3:18-21 ASV)[/b]
You only quote the first part because it appears to be supporting mouth belief in Christ. Whereas the explanation by Christ clearly points to a belief which means good works.

- with the mouth
- with the heart
Of course accepting both ways is the ideal. But accepting with the heart is the better of the two. You promote with the mouth. I promote accepting with the heart and that means to follow his commandments.
There are people who help others the way Jesus described in Matt 25 and these have no knowledge of Christ but they pick up Christ when he is down. These will enter the Kingdom of God. They are doers.
You promote talking not doing.

I dont believe your interpretation of what Jesus said.
It's simple English. Jesus said to those who claimed to do good works that they are workers of iniquity.
It is obvious that you are either an imposter, or you haven't been born again, or both, because if you had been born again the Holy Spirit would make the verses in question as plain to you as they are to the rest of us.
Third option might be that you are so severely dyslectic that the words don't appear in their proper order before your eyes.

Originally posted by @secondsonIm not a church christian so Im not polluted by your false doctrines so clearly Im not one of you people therefore I would never see things your way. I see what Jesus is saying.is that these people in Matt 7 were EVIL WORKERS. These people never claimed to do GOOD works and Jesus never said they did good works like other Christians are claiming. So you are lying through your crooked teeth... typical of people who profess to have eternal life. You people have no conscience and you do not fear God, because you think God cannot take away your eternal life ...wait and see pal.
But we should believe yours?

In Matt 7 they claimed to do WONDERFUL works. If you examine the Greek original word and Im sure your pastor has done that you would see dunamis doo'-nam-is specifically miraculous power (usually by implication a miracle itself): - ability, abundance, meaning, might miracle (-s), power, strength, violence, mighty (wonderful) work.
Performing miracles and doing good works are not the same thing. Good works is what Jesus wants.

Originally posted by @kellyjayWell some like King Cyrus and Rahab the harlot, had no Holy Spirit, but they did good works . Some again Judas and Annanias and Sapphira did evil and they had the Holy Spirit. So something is not quite right about your doctrine.

In any case, Holy Spirit or not, Jesus says how he will judge people and who enters the Kingdom of God. .. and sadly for you its all about good works and righteousness.
Nobody will be able to say "Lord I have the Holy Spirit .. Im in !!! " ... LOL 😀
