We are not saved by works.

Ah ... brother Blume .... you've met my sister. Perhaps you may want present your exegesis on how the blood is applied during baptism and other acts of obedience.

Sure we're saved by works, the work of the cross and grace. It takes faith and obedience to take part in the new birth. Being baptized is not a "work" but obedience to the commandment of Christ: 'He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved"

Our sins are remitted/forgiven at our point of faith ....repentance .... period.

Daniel, I was raised my whole life with the teaching that the only place that the Blood is applied is in baptism.

It wasn't till I came to these different forums that I found Apostolics teach that the Blood isn't applied at all, rather it is appropriated.

Beside it's not my righteousness that does anything for my salvation, it's obedience to the Righteous Judge, that brings righteousness into my life.

For those that forgot their bible in their car, this is what it says:


"he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit."
