There are so many believers out there that are burdened because they feel that they can lose their salvation. What a burden to carry... God's blessings too you.

Can it be that if a person thinks they have faith and are saved but do not have any good works to show for it that their assessment of their own salvation could be faulty?<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-13795009859304114872010-09-19T19:31:06.604-07:002010-09-19T19:31:06.604-07:00While I believe nothing I can do can save me... no...While I believe nothing I can do can save me... nothing... only by the grace of Christ and by His blood am I saved, I still always feel compelled to get out there and do.. DO... not because it will save me because it can't but because God asks us to do things...He asks us to Go and preach and teach and care and love and to be active in our life and to do good works... faith without works is dead. So while we can't ever ever ever think anything good we can do will save us, we need to do good works because God deserves us to do what He asks us to do .... and its usually sacrificing something of ourselves to do it.LibbyLibbyLibbyLibbyLibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920048348177226476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-37188292080900197102010-09-19T16:16:43.342-07:002010-09-19T16:16:43.342-07:00Sounds very similar to what I once heard about a h...Sounds very similar to what I once heard about a heretical belief called Semi-Pelagianism, and Pelagianism.
