The Third Denomination

Published: Feb. 22, 2023, 3:46 p.m.

Conventional theology tells us we are saved by faith. The Bible tells us clearly, the doers of the law shall be justified. We are also told that it is by works we are known. There are passages in the Bible that interpret the works of Abraham and Noah and other Old Testament persons are interpreted as acts of faith. In other words, it is not just about a wetting and prayer of repentance that opens the door of heaven. There is more going on here. If there will be those who cry Lord, Lord at the last days to be told by our Savior he never knew them, it seems wise to unravel these passages and acquire a clear understanding of what it takes to be saved. In so doing we realize, Christians need a third denomination. Catholicism and Protestantism have both fallen short in their exegesis regarding salvation and the nature of the church.
