Brother Tan. I want to be very careful here. I have no desire to argue with you and neither do I have a need to be confrontational.
I have already read where you have put down the RCC, and I feel like I need to ask you if you are a member of the Mormon church or a Jehovah Witness society. I ask that because of your continueing agenda of insisting that works must accomply salvation. You have said many times that faith alone in Christ is not enough to be or to stay saved.
That sounds very much like the Watchtower and Morman teaching. I am simply curious.
Now, once again I am saying, as has been said by all, If we insist that we have to do something or add something after we trust Christ in order to affect our salvation, that is taking His death on the cross in vain. He was made a curse for us, but if we don't accept that truth we are saying that we are not guilty but that He is guilty. The natural man hates grace, because he wants to "do" something. But believing in the Gospel of grace glorifies Jesus Christ and causes us to turn our eyes upon Him, not some ritual, ceremony or law.
"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God" (Romans 10:3).
Salvation comes by faith in and through Jesus Christ and no one else and nothing else. To believe one must keep the works of the Law in order to be saved, or to maintain salvation, is to refuse to see that the Law was our schoolmaster (i. e., paidagōgos) to lead us to Christ.
"Wherefore the law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God
by faith in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:24-26).
Jesus made it clear that He is the door to salvation.
"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture" (John 10:9).
To believe that one must keep the Law in order to have salvation is saying that Christ forgave our
past sins upon faith in Him, but from here on out our salvation is dependent on Law keeping. Despite what anyone says, this is teaching salvation by works, and adding any kind of works to faith makes Christ's atoning sacrifice of no effect.
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace" (Galatians 5:4).
The two (works and salvation) are totally incompatible.
