Debunking the "Works" Myth! - by J. Dan Gill

What is the evangelical myth about "works"? Is it accurate to say that our salvation isn't dependent on works? What did Paul intend by the word "works" in Ephesians 2.8, and what's the broader context of that verse? The Apostle Paul himself reveals his intent in these things in Ephesians chapter 2 itself. When we claim to be saved by "the cross" of Christ, what exactly does that mean? Scriptures considered include Ephesians 2.8-22, John 6.28-29, Acts 2.38, 1 Peter 3.21, Acts 17.30-32, Matthew 17.5.
J. Dan Gill is a leading voice within the One God, One Messiah movement, advocating the belief that the Father alone is the only true God and Jesus is his Christ, the Messiah, as stated in John 17:3. This perspective diverges from both Trinitarian and Jehovah's Witness doctrines. With a background as a seasoned Bible teacher, speaker, writer, and apologist, Dan Gill co-founded 21st Century Reformation ministries. He actively contributes to various programs on 21st Century Reformation as a producer, host, and frequent contributor. Additionally, he is the author of "The One - In Defense of God," a book that presents the biblical case for non-Trinitarian "absolute" Christian monotheism.

We're saved by the works and faith of Jesus/yeshua.

This is the very subject I'm studying right now. My most basic understanding looks like this: From Faith... to Law... back to Faith I'm working out the particulars, which is a pain with what naysayers bring up. But this is what makes sense to me.

If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

[@kevinerose]

Works - you do have to do something. Paul is saying not by the works of man. Paul is not saying not by the works of obedience to the Will of God. No one will get to heaven if they do not the things God commands and to do as he has created us for. Here are a few works we must do: 1. We must seek Truth 2. We must seek God 3. We must believe in God 4. We must believe Christ died for our sins 5. We must follow the commands of Christ 6. We must align our will with the will of God

The Book of Revelation clearly states that we will be judged on our works this guy is teaching the corrupted doctrine of the modern-day corrupted Church

[@Psalm-pu2jq]

I think you are misunderstanding him. He is saying that we are saved by the works of God which are "done by men." That includes obedience to the word of God.

@@onejohn2.26.this is after the Millennial Reign of believers with Jesus; after that, is the second resurrection in which unbelievers will be judged; believers have already been resurrected and are glorified with incorruptible bodies and spirits.

Paul is the false Apostle spoken of in Revelation 2:2

[@Psalm-pu2jq]

Can't agree with you there.

[@onejohn2.26.]

@@Psalm-pu2jq then tell me who is the false Apostle in Revelation 2:2 ? everything in Revelation 2 points directly at Paul and then Jesus goes on to say that he hates the teachings of the Nicolaitans and they taught what Paul taught Paul in his own writings stated that he was a liar and thief and a hypocrite and a murderer and that he was possessed by an Angel of Satan he did not teach the Gospel of Jesus or of the other apostles
