Lesson #21( Thursday- 12/22/2011 )
Audio : 
Audio : 
Notes : JAMES 2:22, The believer + the body of faith + works = completion, "friend of God", inheriting, illustrated by Abraham; "Man is not only justified by faith [for salvation], he is also justified by works" [after salvation]
Lesson #22( Tuesday- 12/27/2011 )
JAMES 2:14-20, A life or death epistle; Believer Rahab illustrates faith that is alive & actively producing works; The believer's faith is dead without nourishment & exercise; James teaches 2 kinds of justification
Lesson #23( Thursday- 12/29/2011 )
JAMES' verses showing he wrote believers warning them of disgrace; Addressing those who say works are needed to maintain salvation or it can be lost; Did JC go to the cross for nothing?
Lesson #24( Tuesday- 01/03/2012 )
FAITH ALONE; Salvation is a GIFT, not gained by works or deeds; JAMES = Experiential justification by works in the F/HS = a glorious, productive life spent in the bottom circle
Lesson #25( Thursday- 01/05/2012 )
MATTHEW 13, Believers who behave like unbelievers; True and false views of “perseverance of the saints”; Perseverance is not automatic nor means one is "truly saved"; It is experiential justificatin
Lesson #26( Tuesday- 01/10/2012 )
Visual : Romans 12:1-2, Why command us to present our bodies, to stop being conformed, to be transformed, or flee fornication, etc. if believers with “true” saving faith automatically persevere?
Lesson #27( Thursday- 01/12/2012 )
Perseverance has nothing to do with “top circle” irrevocable, eternal accomplishments by God; We are to persevere in the “bottom circle” by consistent rebound, obedience, works, & faithfulness
Lesson #28( Tuesday- 01/17/2012 )
Religions teachiing false Faith + Works + Obedience + Good Behavior + Perseverence + Repentence for salvation can show no Biblical standards or criteria for such additions to faith
Lesson #29( Thursday- 01/19/2012 )
"Repent" = change mind about Christ, not sins; Acts 2:38syntactical break mentioning water baptism & confessing Jesus as Lord, Romans 10:8-9, have nothing to do with salvation
Lesson #30( Tuesday- 01/24/2012 )
"Repentence" means change of mind about Christ for salvation; Repentance of sins, water baptism, confessing Jesus as Lord NOT necessary for salvation! Acts 2:38, Rom 10:8-9, Deut. 30:14, 6:4
