Those of us who actually believe the Bible know that it is by the Lord Jesus' death upon the Cross whereby we are justified.

Oh really? So then if Christ died for everyone without exception then why aren't everyone without exception Justified?

Christ shed His blood for all who will come to Him to be saved.

False statement! Unless it's meant that all for whom He shed His Blood for will be saved.

Do you believe it's possible for Christ to shed His Blood for a person and they not come to Him and be saved? Yes or No

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).


It is the will of the person to come to Christ. The elect will be those who have made the decision to come to Christ.

Christ did not shed His blood for a particular person. But for all sinners. So is it possible for a sinner to not come to Him and be saved? Yes Few are saved!

Then you deny the saving death of Christ and believe in Salvation by Works!

No. Christians are expected to live according to the Word of Christ. But, no amount of good works gets one into heaven. They are expected because charity is to be the base of our lives.

If you believe that Jesus Christ shed His Blood even for the Lost, then you by default believe in Salvation by Works, by something the sinner does to make the difference between saved and lost. You certainly dont believe Christs blood alone made the difference !

We all start out lost. When we realize our sins, believe in Jesus, repent, and are cleansed by Jesus' sacrifice for us. We receive the Holy Spirit and amendment of life comes. If one does amend their life then I question their salvation.

No matter how you slice it sir you are believing salvation by works. That's a denial of Christ and Grace !

Through Christ's sacrifice those who believe on Him shall be saved.
