Works, Faith, & Salvation (for Iano)

Hi, Truthlover! I am the one who promoted your thread, even if it is a bit wordy and rambling. *sigh...* Now Im gonna have to get to work on a reply to it, since Iano is nowhere to be found just yet. I have never been totally clear on your concept of salvation nor Ianos. I know that Jar believes that everyone is saved, but I am not sure about my position on this topic. Lets discuss it and maybe I will get struck with a bolt of clarity!Works, Faith, & SalvationI believe that everyone on the planet knows about God. Some choose to have no opinion on the subject and are without a belief as defined by human wisdom. Others have various religions and philosophies--creeds and confessions--while others simply have a joy about them in doing good deeds for the simple act of helping humanity.Anyone who knows me knows that I love Websters and definitions when I attempt to frame an issue and start a topic! I also have a book by a theologian, R.C. Sproul, which is entitled Essential Truths Of The Christian Faith. Here is what Sproul has to say about salvation: The scriptural references, which I have yet to look up---perhaps they will be referred to in this thread--are these: Ezekiel 36:26-27, Zephaniah 1, John 3:16-17, Romans 1:16-17, 1Corinthians 1:26-31, and 1Thessalonians 1:6-10.This message has been edited by AdminJar, 12-05-2005 02:27 PM
