The eternal salvation of souls.

Is that what they tell you? :o Mt 23:15

Control.

You're being kind (Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10).

Don't you mean the possibility of salvation? Since at the end of one’s life they still don't know if they are saved or not?

If one is interested in knowing the Lord (Phil 3:10), he will make a way (1 Co 10:13) for him to escape :Poly: that brothel (Jud 11).

[Is that what they tell you? Jud 11] Yes.

Plans and programs do not save (Ga 1:6-8). :olinger: Jesus saves (Isa 63:9; Eph 5:23). Jesus alone saves (Isa 45:21,22; 59:16; Ac 4:12). :Poly: 

Agreed.

Depends on what the meaning of agreed is (Eph 4:14).

And any lack of good works as an "evidence of true Protestant faith" would entail a person was never saved to begin...

You will share in her :olinger: sins and plagues (Re 18:4). :burnlib:

When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity, and dies in it, it is because of the iniquity which he has done that he dies. Again, when a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which he committed, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself alive. Because he considers and turns away from all the transgressions which he committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die (Eze 18:26-28).

Salvation comes first good works follow

That’s right.

"Paul spoke about the root of faith (Eph 2:8). James spoke about the fruit of faith (Jm 2:17-18)." ~ Adrian Rogers

If one’s hope rests on any work, he’s going to hell (Jud 11). He has no righteousness of his own (1 Cor. 1:30).

The good thief got saved on the cross...

He didn’t jump down off that cross and ask someone to find him a priest? 1 Ti 2:5. He didn’t tell his wife to pray the rosary after his death to try to get him out of Purgatory? :olinger: 2 Co 5:8.

And if those good works are not there?

You've never done a good work (Is 64:6). :dizzy: You're not in Christ (Heb 4:1). :straight:Until you see that you :reals: belong on that cross, your sin remains on you (Jn 3:36). :listen: Every last sin you've ever committed will be paid for by you or by Jesus (Ga 6:7).

Ps 75:8 "cup. The cup of wrath describes God’s judgment which He forces down the throats of the wicked (cf. Job. 21:20; Is. 51:17; Jer. 25:15-29; Matt. 20:22; 26:39)." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed., p. 809). Nashville, TN: Word Pub.

Is the MacArthur Study Bible infallible?

I disagree with MacArthur on many things :idunno: (Eph 4:14, Ac 17:11). :Poly: Do you disagree with your homosexual pedophile leaders? :smokie: Mt 7:20, Jud 11

What is it about Judge 11?

Jude 11--anyone who aids and abets :olinger: the brothel.

Jake1254 View Post

There is no Jude 11. It only has one chapter.

Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah (Jud 11).

What will happen to those persons who were unwillingly baptized as infants into the Roman Catholic Church…

Nothing. Their holy water doesn’t do a thing. Men must be born again (Jn 3:7).
