Eph 2:8 Grace through faith and we are saved.

1. So Gods grace is for everyone
2. Only those who Add Faith have Salvation
3. So those with faith are believers
4. Those without faith are not believers
5. Faith brings the Holy Spirit into believer
6. Without faith there is no Holy Spirit


1 Timothy 4:1 Holy Spirit says people will depart the faith

1. Can unbelievers have faith? No
2. Can unbelievers fall from faith? No
3. Only believers have faith. Yes
4. Only believers can fall from faith. Yes
5. Those who fall from faith are who? believers

without faith you have what? Only grace
so those who fell from faith have what? Only Grace
Is salvation only grace?

why do you think the Holy Spirit speaks here?
who would a believer fall from?

again do unbelievers have faith? So how can they fall from it?
without faith do you have salvation?

its 2 plus 2 people.
 
@TRUTH BE TOLD Greetings,
Eph 2:8 Grace through faith and we are saved.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
1. So Gods grace is for everyone
YES
2. Only those who Add Faith have Salvation
No those who ask Jesus to be their Lord receive salvation
3. So those with faith are believers
Every one has Faith - Faith in Jesus and Gods word are believers yes
4. Those without faith are not believers
Not quite true - many believers lack faith or have yet to devolope their faith
5. Faith brings the Holy Spirit into believer
We are born again by incorruptible seed the ever living word of God -the moment we become born agaian God places His spiirit in us. Not many new believers have a strong faith. For faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Romans 10:17
6. Without faith there is no Holy Spirit
No without faith we as believers can not please God - The Holy Spirit does dwell in many believers who lack faith.

1 Timothy 4:1 Holy Spirit says people will depart the faith
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1. Can unbelievers have faith? No
Define faith for even satan and his bunch believe there is a God and Jesus is the son of God
2. Can unbelievers fall from faith? No
3. Only believers have faith. Yes
NO
4. Only believers can fall from faith. Yes
What is your understanding of fall from faith any way.
5. Those who fall from faith are who? believers
As for the rest of this below - were you trying to make some point with this ? You kind of are reaching for something that is not there. Again I ask you what is your belief on fall from the faith.
God Bless You
Jim

without faith you have what? Only grace

If grace is for all men then the difference is Faith.... this is what makes a believer have salvation correct...

So why then is it hard to understand that when the Holy Spirit is talking about people of faith falling he means believers
 
Define faith? Lol really... so what does grace through faith mean?

Since this faith equals salvation I say ITS THE RIGHT KIND..LOL

Were talking about eph 2:8 faith and the faith that equals salvation.... define what kind of faith were talking..theres only one kind..
 
Wired for fishing:

Is it grace through asking Christ to be your savior
Or grace through faith?
Gods Grace for all man. This is why Jesus went to the cross and we have salvation.
We believe or have faith that we REALLY DID GET SAVED. FAITH THAT GOIDS WORD IS TRUE.

Try to relax a bit would you. lol
Look at your own words - you simply said un-believers have no faith - that is not true.
did you say faith in God or Faith in Christ or even faith in salvation and Gods grace ? NO lol
 
Again your old enough to say Im wrong your old enough to follow along


What does the verse say ?

By accepting Christ or by faith?
 
If grace plus faith equals salvation (believers)
Then how does grace plus faith equal unbelievers also?

And since eph2:8 is about faith that equals salvation we are talking believers not UNBELIEVERS WITH FAITH WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE..
 
If a unbeliever in grace has faith that makes him a believer with salvation... theres no such thing as unbelievers having faith and not having salvation with that faith..
 
Try to relax a bit would you. lol

Your laughing? I DO NOT HAVE TO SAY WHAT FAITH BECAUSE ITS WHATEVER FAITH EPH 2:8 IS TALKING ABOUT AND SINCE THIS FAITH EQUALS SALVATION IT COULD ONLY BE TALKING ABOUT CHRIST....

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA...

Eph 2:8
'For by grace are ye saved
through faith;
and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
Not of works,
lest any man should boast.'

(Eph 2:8,9)

Hello, 'Truth-be-told',
With respect, what you say is your interpretation of Ephesians 2:8, and not what it actually says.
Our salvation is a complete package, it is a grace through faith salvation. The faith upon which it rests is the faith of Christ, and not our own: it was formed before the foundation of the world, in Christ, when we were just a twinkle in God's eye; we had no part in it's formulation, and we have no part in its operation. We are indeed His workmanship, and the workmanship of God cannot but be successful, cannot but reach it's desired fulfillment, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

* The work He has begun in us, He will continue to do until the day of Christ.
Praise God!

'Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law,
but by the faith of Jesus Christ,
even we have believed in Jesus Christ,
that we might be justified by the faith of Christ,
and not by the works of the law:
for by the works of the law
shall no flesh be justified.'

(Gal.2:16)

'And be found in Him,
not having mine own righteousness,
which is of the law,
but that which is through the faith of Christ,
the righteousness which is of God by faith'

(Php. 3:9)

Again, Praise God!
For He is faithful that promised.

Truth they say you can tell about a person by the fruit they produce or bear. Yours seems to be very much of the flesh as you are rude and disrespectful and stuck in your own ways. Here is another tip for you - the laugh may just be on you.
I do believe you owe Complete an apology and some repenting or turning from your ways would help as well.

God Bless and have a better day
Jim

For what? Saying a womens not to teach? Or that someone who doesnt understand salvation should not be teaching?

Romans 10:17 FAITH COMES BY HEARING..HEARING THE WORD OF GOD...

SO IT IS OUR FAITH......
