Here are a few.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

John 6:47 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."

Acts 16:31 "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Romans 10:9: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

Romans 11:6: "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work."

Ephesians 1:13-14: "In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory."

Ephesians 2:8-9 "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.

1 Timothy 1:16: "However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all long suffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life."


Getting baptized, repenting of your sins, etc are works.



lol..... he asked where it says we are saved by faith *alone* not go look up where it says we are saved by faith, unreal..

ya good idea lets just pick one commandment and ignore all others and see where this gets us

mark 16:16 he that believeth and is babtized shall be saved

so therefore I can believe im saved without faith and im already babtized so I guess im saved, good point you made there kevis

it is true, works do not save you. good people go to hell too. only by the blood of jesus christ are you saved. when you have faith, good works follow.

they have faith and works. when you have a strong faith, you do good works. if you have faith, and dont do any good works, its kinda like your idle in your faith(though this will not cause you to go to hell). it takes time to grow in faith though. as your faith becomes stronger and learn more about Gods word, you will want to do good works because God's word teaches us to do good.

funny how you grab a verse and switch it all around

You say that in jesus's example they have faith and works? jesus is asking what does it profit to a person to have faith and no works *James:2:14*

You say faith without works is not dead *wont go to hell or cannot be saved* jesus says faith with no works is dead, therefore being dead you cannot be saved because your dead *James 2:17*

but wont you understand you disgrace of a human being, that if you have no works your dead *James 2:20*

Sad how you teach the dead and living are in heaven, our god is the god of the living and so you must believe in some false god I guess
