Bible Terms and Phrases Used In Unbiblical WaysCommon FALSE Concepts of . . .
Nullifies any necessary act of obedience on our part.
A miraculous gift, merely mental consent, excludes any act of obedience on
man’s part.
Any thing one does. Makes grace void. Heresy when made
necessary for salvation
“Grace says you have nothing to give, nothing to earn, nothing to pay. You
couldn't if you tried! Salvation is a free gift. You simply lay hold of what Christ
has provided. Period. And yet the heretical doctrine of works goes on all around the world and always will. It is
effective because the pride of men and women is so strong. We simply
have to do something in order to feel right about it. It just doesn't make
good humanistic sense to get something valuable for nothing.”
A DIFFERENT GOSPELGalatians 1:6

The Term “Grace”True: Can’t merit
favor with God – Luke 17:10
Parables of pearl & treasure – Mat
13:44-46What about giving
our love? Mark 12:29-31

18:22
“It is a "different gospel" that says, "salvation is not by faith alone it
requires works. Human achievement must accompany sincere faith before you can be certain of your salvation". We
continue to hear that "different gospel" to this day and it is a lie. A theology that rests its salvation on one ounce of human performance
is not good news; it is bad information. It is heresy.”
A DIFFERENT GOSPELGalatians 1:6
By: Charles Swindoll
The Terms “Faith & Works”
“a salvation that includes human achievement, hard work, personal
effort, even religious deeds distorts the good news because man gets the glory, not God. . . .
Most every cult you could name is a cult of salvation by works. It
appeals to the flesh. It tells you, if you will stand so long on a street
corner, if you will distribute so much literature, . . .”
A DIFFERENT GOSPELGalatians 1:6
By: Charles Swindoll
The Terms “Faith & Works”
“. . . if you will sacrifice so much of life, if you will be
baptized, if you will contribute your money, if you will pray or
attend numerous meetings, then your good works and hard
effort will cause God to smile on you. . . . The result in that, I
say again, is man's glory, because you added to your
salvation.”

James 2:14-26 (NKJV) 14 What does it profit, my
brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?
Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and
one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,"
but you do not give them the things which are needed for the
body, what does it profit?

James 2:14-26 (NKJV) 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it
does not have works, is dead. 18
But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show
me your faith without your works, and I will show you my
faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do
well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! Demons Believe But Do Not
Obey!
Faith that does not obey is
worthless!

Do you see that faith was working together with his
works, and by works faith was made perfect?

You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by
faith only.

The Faith That Saves Is
The Faith That Obeys!

James 2:14-26 (NKJV) 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26
